Shane and Bennett give three cheers for the red, white and blue on Nichols’ underwhelming political late-Nineties comedy

This week’s Reel Rap looks back at Mike Nichols’ 1998 feature Primary Colors. Shane and Bennett find little of value in the folksy rendering of the American electoral landscape. Shane shares his Kathy Bates story, Bennett measures the value of John Travolta and they express disappointment that this film, penned by Elaine May, was better received than Ishtar (1987).
