Bob Roberts
“Vote first. Ask questions later.”
ComedyDrama
Millionaire conservative Bob Roberts launches an insurgent campaign against incumbent senator Brickley Paiste, firing up crowds at his rallies by singing '60s-style acoustic folk songs with lyrics espousing far-right conservative social and economic views.
VIBE
A sharp, unsettling satire that feels like a chillingly plausible glimpse behind the curtain of political theater. Its folksy charm masks a biting commentary on media manipulation and the performance of ideology.
