Like wag submitted by smr on July 1, 2020, 2:28pm Like it dog
Amazing movie, prophetic. Still so applicable 23 years later. submitted by Tassos on April 17, 2021, 4:07pm Enjoyed watching this movie again, after two decades. Amazingly prescient, it came out years before the Clinton scandals and their handling by the WH.
