Sean is joined by brothers Ryan and Kevin from 'The Almost Presidents Podcast' to discuss one of the most famous almost-Presidents, Bobby Kennedy, via the film Bobby (2006).

Regarding the no-politics rule for this podcast: Sean decides you can discuss politics as a way of contextualising the film, as long as no-one declares a position.

-The dynamic between the kitchen staff.

-The powerful ending of the film.

-The assassinations of the 1960's and their impact in the United States.

-Bobby Kennedy never had the chance to "let anyone down as President".

-Alternative History.

-Doctor Seuss.

-Sean tries not to embarrass himself by trying to understand the American Political System.

-Sean was thinking of Tom Welling. 

Raised Questions:

-Is Kevin right, are there too many characters?

-Why did this film make so little impact, given the star studded cast?

-Do you want a spin-off with Ashton Kutcher's character?

-Do films set in the 1960's need drug scenes?

-Would you marry Elijah Wood?

-Hass Bobby Kennedy been mythologised?

-Why has there never been a film about Prime Minister Spencer Perceval-the only British PM ever to be assassinated?

-Did you want characters that didn't support Bobby Kennedy?

-Would Bobby Kennedy even been the Presidential nominee that year?
