Welcome to “Pop Break Goes to Washington” where host Allison Lips is joined by a special guest to discuss the historical significance and impact of a political film. Allison and her guests discuss how politics is portrayed in each film. While this podcast focuses on the American political system, it does make a few forays outside of the United States.
For our fourth episode, Allison and Allie Nelson discuss the 1999 teen comedy/political satire Dick, which is set during the presidency of Richard Nixon. Allie is an actress, TV producer/writer/casting director and stand up comedian with her work appearing on Netflix, CBS, NBC, HGTV and more. She is currently a writer for Parade.com and is the co-host of the Pop Break romantic thriller podcast Not Couple Goals on the Pop Break Today feed.
In the episode, Allison and Allie explore the themes of Dick and why it wasn’t a success at the box office and doesn’t land in the way the Sony Pictures and the producers intended. Join Allison and Allie as they explore the weirdness that is the movie Dick.
