The Best Fictional Presidents In Film And TV History

During a contentious election year, what better time than now is there to look at some of film and television’s greatest presidents and determine who we’d like to see run the United States of America. We may not know where they stand on policy, but we know how they handle high stakes situations such as alien invasions, terrorists hijacking Air Force One, and asteroids descending upon Earth. 

Other topics this week include our thoughts on Aaron Sorkin’s The Trial of the Chicago 7 and Charlize Theron being replaced by Anya Taylor-Joy as Furiosa in the upcoming prequel to Mad Max: Fury Road. 

Lastly, we discuss some of the most memorable films of 1992!
