election year!
2024 is an election year in case you didn’t know and that means we’ll be hearing from pundits and politicians until Election Day in November. It’ll probably be all we hear about for months. Election years sometimes drive people apart, so we thought we’d try to bring people together to celebrate some of the best political films of all time with a six film series, one a month starting in May. We’re hosting them on our Super Tuesday discount day (get it?).
