00:00The devil went down to Georgia for a reality star folks
00:03Let me tell you about a little movie called bad president. This ain't your typical Oscar bait folks
00:08This is a low-budget laugh-out-loud comedy that takes aim at you guessed it American politics
00:14Specifically the Donald J. Trump years now. I know what you're thinking Steven haven't we suffered enough and to that I say yes
00:20But laughter is the best medicine and trust me this movie delivers the comedic goods the basic premise is this the devil's looking for a new
00:28Apprentice someone to really stir the pot down here on earth and who better than a certain orange-hued big-haired
00:34Businessmen with a penchant for Twitter rants now
00:37I don't want to give too much away, but let's just say the devil sees something special in Trump something chaotic something
00:44Perfectly suited for bringing about the end times
00:47What follows is a hilarious romp through the 2016 election?
00:52Trump's presidency and all the absurdity that came with it
00:55The film is packed with sharp wit and clever satire poking fun at the political landscape in a way
01:01That's both entertaining and thought-provoking
01:03It's the kind of movie that makes you laugh out loud
01:05But also makes you think about the state of the world the performances are top-notch
01:10With Eddie Griffin delivering a devilishly good performance and Jeff Rector nailing the Trump impersonation
01:16So if you're in the mood for a comedy that doesn't pull any punches and isn't afraid to tackle the big issues
01:22Give bad president a watch you might just find that a little laughter is exactly what we all need right now
01:28Now I'm not gonna lie the movie doesn't hold back on the Trump jokes from the very first scene
01:33It's clear that the filmmakers are going all in his ego his hair his shall
01:39We say unique way with words. It's all fair game
01:43The film spares no detail in its caricature of the former president, but here's the thing it's funny
01:50The audience can't help but laugh at the over-the-top portrayal
01:54The movie plays up Trump's ambition and his let's call them character flaws to hilarious effect
02:01Every exaggerated gesture and misstep is amplified for comedic gold
02:07We see the devil manipulating events ensuring Trump's victory all while our
02:13Protagonist if you can call him that remains blissfully unaware of the demonic forces at play
02:19It's a clever twist that adds another layer of humor
02:23Now some might find this premise offensive
02:26the idea of supernatural interference in politics is bound to ruffle some feathers and
02:32Hey to each their own
02:35Not everyone will appreciate the satire or the boldness of the narrative
02:40But if you're someone who can laugh at the absurdity of it all at the sheer ridiculousness that was the Trump presidency
02:47Then you'll find plenty to enjoy here
02:50The film is a rollercoaster of laughs poking fun at the chaos and unpredictability of those years
02:56One of the film's saving graces and believe me it needs saving is Eddie Griffin
03:01He plays the devil and let me tell you the man is on fire
03:04He brings his signature brand of edgy in-your-face comedy to the role and it's absolutely perfect Griffin steals every scene
03:11He's in effortlessly delivering one-liners and physical comedy. That'll have you rolling in the aisles
03:17He's like a comedic force of nature and he elevates the entire film with his performance
03:22Now let's address the elephant in the room the budget or lack thereof
03:27Bad president ain't exactly a Hollywood blockbuster the special effects are well
03:33Let's just say they're special the sets are minimal and the costumes don't get me started on the costumes
03:39But you know what it somehow works the film's low-budget nature actually adds to its charm
03:45It feels like a passion project a labor of love from people who genuinely wanted to make fun of the political
03:50Landscape and in a weird way that makes it all the more endearing
03:54Look we all know politics can be a real circus sometimes and bad president embraces that wholeheartedly
04:01It's a film for people who see the humor in the absurdity
04:04Who can laugh at the absurdity of it all even when it feels like the world is falling apart
04:10If you're easily offended this movie ain't for you
04:13But if you're looking for a good laugh a cathartic release from the often frustrating world of politics
04:19Then I highly recommend giving bad president a watch you might be surprised at how much you enjoy it
04:24It's honestly baffling to me that bad president hasn't gotten more attention
04:29Maybe it's because it's a bit rough around the edges
04:31Maybe it's because it's not afraid to offend this film doesn't pull any punches
04:35And that's what makes it so unique and refreshing in today's overly cautious
04:40Cinematic landscape or maybe it's because people are just plain tired of hearing about Donald Trump
04:45After all the media has been saturated with his presence for years and many are simply exhausted by the constant barrage of news and commentary
04:53But for my money this movie is a hidden gem
04:56It's one of those rare finds that you stumble upon and wonder how it flew under the radar
05:01It's a hilarious no holds barred satire that perfectly captures the insanity of the Trump era
05:07The film's sharp wit and fearless approach make it a standout in the genre of political satire
05:12It's a film that reminds us that even in the darkest of times
05:16Laughter can be a powerful weapon
05:18Comedy has always been a way to cope with difficult situations and this movie does just that with remarkable skill
05:24So do yourself a favor grab some popcorn
05:27Settle in and prepare to laugh your butt off at the absurdity. That is bad president. Trust me
05:32It's a ride you won't want to miss
