As society crumbles into chaos at Donald Trump's tiny, weird hands, it makes me nostalgic for the pre-apocalyptic era of the late Ronald Reagan and his mythologized tales of trickle-down economics, backstabbing commies, front-stabbing assassins, and everything in between.
Just in time for literally any past president to look good by comparison, this 80s lore has come together in the faith-based film Reagan, starring right-wing darling Dennis Quaid as the putty-faced Reagan.
Even better, this Made In Oklahoma movie was shot in Guthrie, which really makes the Berlin Wall scenes flagrantly pop with its Okie atmosphere of rural dread.
The movie starts with stock footage of Russia and its celebrated son, Soviet asset and probable spy Viktor Petrovich (a doddering Jon Voight). He tells a KGB operative all about the history of the Great American Savior Ronald Reagan, starting in the 1910s when he was a real whippersnapper.
