Is this from WHITE HOUSE DOWN or OLYMPUS HAS FALLEN?

We’re still here, our September episode got a little delayed due to, you know, our non-podcast lives. But it’s coming!

Cut for time from our WAR OF THE WORLDS (2025) episode. After the passings of Julian McMahon and Hulk Hogan, Ben and Eric ask what does it REALLY mean to "die in Clearwater"? Which then leads to a new game: Scientologist or Pro wrestler?!

Us watching "G20" on Amazon Prime

So other than the new MISSION IMPOSSIBLE, what other summer movies should be on our radar? Any chance SUPERMAN or FANTASTIC FOUR or ELIO or even the new NAKED GUN includes a fake u.s. pres?

Now watching Amazon Prime's "Die Hard at an international summit" movie G20 with Viola Davis and Anthony Starr...

New episode up! #TheResidence #Netflix

Wait. Amazon Prime just released G20 with Viola Davis as a kickass President this month... and coming this summer they got THIS coming out, too?!? What's in the water at Amazon?!? youtu.be/8J646zM7UM8?...

Yeah, yeah, we covered Netflix's ZERO DAY. Don't get too excited.

Just uploaded and rolling out to podcast apps across the globe...

Going through our old notes on "upcoming projects to keep track of" and this one, sadly, appears to have never gotten off the ground: (the article is from January 2022)

This is dangerously close to the bullshit, car-centric, PR nonsense that Kevin Kline singles out in a White House cabinet meeting as being a complete waste of time & money in DAVE (1993)

Our discussion on Harrison Ford's return to the Oval in CAPTAIN AMERICA: BRAVE NEW WORLD, now live. #PresidentsDay #CaptainAmericaBraveNewWorld (okay, so he technically didn't make it to the Oval in AIR FORCE ONE, but you get the picture...)

It's SNL's 50th anniversary celebration AND it's Presidents weekend? Just so happens our 2021 Presidents Day Special was a Sweet 16 Tournament to determine SNL's best ever Presidential Impersonator... (note: we did it before James Austin Johnson joined the cast)

President Viola Davis has gotten our attention... www.youtube.com/watch?v=mhQc...

Friendly reminder before our CAPTAIN AMERICA: BRAVE NEW WORLD ep comes out that we already did cover a movie with Harrison Ford as the POTUS... (available to download wherever you get your podcasts)

What do you do when your vice president dies? If you’re President Jeff Bridges, you nominate Joan Allen! And what does Joan Allen do when some orgiastic photos surface, threatening to derail her confirmation? She goes high when they go low! Maybe a little too high…

This PARADISE show is, um, not going where we expected.

Do you miss the days of being able to talk about politics without your head exploding? Then have we got the podcast for you... open.spotify.com/show/7LNJ5C8...

I do have a long drive, unfortunately it's 3 hours long so I'll be listening to this ep at .25 speed

Got a long Thanksgiving drive coming up? Load up on the latest of episode of Fake Presidents -- all about the POTUS in THE DARK KNIGHT RISES, played by William Devane!

latest episode is recorded and edited... and it might be the smallest president* in the biggest movie we've covered yet? (*in terms of screen time)

Remember when you could talk about politics without it being hazardous to your health? We think we've found a loophole! Each episode of the Fake Presidents Podcast, we take a look at a fictional POTUS from pop culture to see just how much fiction there really is...
