In addition to being presidential history buffs they are former aides to top politicians, and both have written for Ronald Reagan. They're here to discuss movies on American presidents. Each podcast focuses on what Hollywood is trying to tell us about America by using a president as a lead character.

Donald Trump as "The Apprentice"
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
"The Apprentice" purports to tell Donald Trump's origin story, back when the notorious Roy Cohn took him under his wing and showed him how to win at any cost. Jim and Gary take the movie on its own terms -- as a piece of history in the 1970s and 80's -- and refrain from discussing contemporary events.
