If you haven't seen this movie then stop what you are doing and watch it - immediately.
I am shocked that this movie does not get more attention as it was extremely prescient - this movie essentially predicts politicians like Donald Trump. But it was made 24 years before Trump was elected.
Robbins plays Roberts, a right-wing politician who sings Bob Dylan-like songs that are twisted around 180 degrees. He runs for the US senate seat in PA and will do anything to get elected. Many of his tactics are stunningly familiar from the 2016 election campaign.
This move contains cameos from many famous actors and it features the cinematic debut of a young Jack Black as one of Roberts' devotees.
