Fake Presidents

The Goodest Shepherd (THE AMERICAN PRESIDENT, 1995)


Listen Later

Rob Reiner and Aaron Sorkin leave little to the political imagination in their 1995 romantic comedy, THE AMERICAN PRESIDENT. Michael Douglas, as the widower POTUS Andrew Shepherd, is without a doubt a pre-Tea Party, far right Republi--- Nope... Not at all... He's clearly a centrist Democrat. So instead of just talking about Shepherd's judicial courtships, we also dive into his domestic courtship of Sydney Ellen Wade of Virginia. And to help us out, we've got a very special guest -- relationship expert Damona Hoffman, the host of the Dates & Mates podcast!!!

How should a single president go about procuring a date to a state dinner? (More delicately than Shepherd does.) How adorable is it when Michael J. Fox says the F-word? (Very!) Will Shepherd ultimately beat Bob Rumson? (You probably won't like our answer...)
