It’s election season here in ‘Merica, and to recognize, Mikey, Pinky, and Dave are talking favorite political films!

The Deucecast Movie Show #249: Favorite Political Films
First up, a round of The Ryan Phillippe Game, where you have to name all the films of a certain actor like Kurt Russell, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Owen Wilson or Charlize Theron and more.
And then… fave political movies! People trying to win an election! Leaders trying to stop a war! Superheroes trying to stay on the right side of America! Movies like Lincoln! Argo! Wag the Dog! Captain America Civil War!

So enjoy the list of political movies and tell us your own faves!
