Episode 431 - Six Films to Watch Before the 2020 Presidential Election

As we near the 2020 Presidential election, join Carlos today at GeekFest Rants as he recommends a number of films(and a TV show) to prep you for the issues that dominate this historic election.  The films included are, All the President's Men, The Manchurian Candidate, The Handmaid's Tale(TV show), The Birth of a Nation, Jonestown the Life and Death of Peoples Temple, and Judgement at Nuremberg.  Plus he recaps the films he suggested back in the 2016 election.  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 week.
