Two days before the 2024 Presidential election, join Carlos today at GeekFest Rants as he recommends a number of films to prep you for the issues that dominate this historic election.  The films included are, Joe, The Zone of Interest, Nazi Town USA, Civil War, Good Night and Good Luck, and Antebellum.  Plus he recaps the films he suggested back in the 2016 and 2020 elections.  WARNING: This is a very heavily opinionated political themed episode and the views expressed are solely the ones of Carlos.  In other words, if you feel politics are a bad subject to discuss, you might want to skip this episode and return next time.
