POTUScast 114: Hail To The Chief

Happy President’s Day! For this very American holiday I’m joined by aDam, Sean, and Crazy to discuss fictional presidents in movies and TV, as well as real presidents used in popular movies. In the end, we nominate our favorites for a real run for office. Well; aDam, Sean and myself do. Crazy doesn’t make it to the second term.
