Another in our series of election year chats about movies about presidents. By patron request, Daniel and Jack watch and discuss 1999's neo-screwball teensploitation 70s-nostalgiafest Dick, in which two teenage girls - Kirsten Dunst and Michelle Williams - accidentally find themselves befriending Richard Nixon (Dan Hedaya) and becoming entangled in Watergate. It's terribly fun.
