Episode 26 - The American President

“I’m Andrew Shepherd and I AM the President” Podcast favorite Erin from Heaving Bosoms joins Cole to talk about one of their all-time favorites, “The American President”.  This film has it all – prime Rob Reiner, young Aaron Sorkin, the second coming of sexy Michael Douglas, perfect Annette Bening, and hair….serious hair.  The more we talked about it, the better this film got. Great score, wonderful performances, wit and humor, romance, and a Christmas-carol singing Richard Dreyfuss.  Don’t miss Erin’s obsession with Erik von Detten, sexy Presidents, and why she thinks Col. Jessep is the hero of “A Few Good Men”.  Also, it turns out Cole is better than Chris Pine at exactly one thing.  If you guessed Michael Biehn (as so many of you did) on the last episode, then this lunger is your Huckleberry.
