**Enhance Your Election Week Experience with The Gimme Three Podcast!**
It’s Election Week! As we all know, this week can be both exhilarating and highly stressful. So, if you need a break from doom scrolling and news coverage, The Gimme Three Podcast has you covered.

In this week’s episode, co-host Nicholas Ybarra and guest David Chiu tackle Gimme Three Presidential Films!

• We start with John Frankenheimer’s political thriller, 7 Days In May.
• In a similar but true story - the pulse-pounding intricacies of the Cuban Missile Crisis are on display in the film Thirteen Days.
• Philip Baker Hall tears the house down in the one-person show on film Secret Honor - directed by the great Robert Altman.
• We stick with the subject of Richard Nixon in Ron Howard’s juicy film Frost/Nixon.
• Bryan Cranston takes his mesmerizing stage performance to the screen as he portrays Lydon B. Johnson in All The Way.
• Finally, we end the episode on a more romantic note. In Southside With You, we spend one day with President Barack Obama… on his first date with Michelle.

There’s a little something for everyone with all of these incredible picks. Let us know what you think of these presidential films!
