Cinematic Presidents

What happens when politics and Hollywood collide? Matthew Sweet explores what makes a president on the big screen, featuring classic soundtracks from Nixon and Independence Day.

In cinema, US presidents have been portrayed as heroes, villains, great leaders who unite the world and hopeless puppets who are the butt of jokes. In this episode, Matthew Sweet casts his vote on classic soundtracks to films including Nixon and Independence Day.

Celebrating the 1991 blockbuster, Point Break, as it returns to cinemas in the UK.
