I was actually going to order the DVD of this movie, since I'm into cheesy 90's movies, but it's now free on YouTube as of a few days ago.
Anyhow, the movie is called Dave, starring Kevin Kline and Sigourney Weaver. It was one of the early "president" movies that came out during Clinton's presidency. It depicts an absolutely shallow douche as the president. His handlers have to find a replacement double to take over the role for a time, in case of the emergency that eventually happens.
30 years ago, when it came out, it was thick with fantasy situations, which made it a thoroughly unbelieveble, and charming movie. It hits a little different today, for anons anyhow. Now it's free on a large platform. Comms? Perhaps.
So Kevin Kline pretended to be the President....and then pretended to be the wife of Bill Gates?
Strange world.
Hey, interesting! Coming at this from the MOASS/Memestock angle, Ryan Cohen, now Executive Chairman of Gamestop, recently tweeted the following meme:

Here he suggests that it's time to fire Dave. The Superstonk (Gamestop subreddit) community has been trying to read into what or who Dave could be (could be nothing, of course). Maybe Dave is Biden. The imposter president.
I also had the following thought earlier today: Ryan Cohen has been tweeting about corrupt overpaid executives intentionally running their corporations into the ground (Elon has tweeted similar themes) and I juxtaposed that idea over the idea that the UNITED STATES (as we know it) is not our original government but is a mere corporation posing as a government (supposedly since 1871, I believe).
Maybe nothing. Maybe something someone smarter than me can build on.
Yeah very interesting. I think about this too from time to time. I really need to go back and watch some older movies that I saw as a kid now that I know what to look for.
I have watched several Segal movies recently, lot human trafficking and corruption. "Submerged" is interesting.
Thank you for this! I saw this movie back in the day and thought it was cute/cheesy as you say. It will be interesting to watch it again with my awakened eyes.
Yes, and 30 years! Wow.
That was a fun movie. Charles Grodin was great in it too!
