Michael and Us: Trust the Plan
What is a quickly-made, low-effort documentary like ONE NATION UNDER TRUMP (2016) good for? Not a lot. But one thing that this ridiculous pro-Trump hagiography provided us with was a chance to marinate for long, unbroken stretches of time in the 45th president's rhetorical style. We made some unexpected discoveries about how his distinctive way of speaking led him to the presidency.
Michael and Us is a podcast about political cinema and our crumbling world hosted by Will Sloan and Luke Savage.
