Presidential vibes.
Bill Murray is easily one of my absolute favorite actors. He just filmed a new comedy where he plays President Roosevelt. According to various critics, Roger Michell wasn't really looking to make some heavy historical saga to teach the younger generation about history—instead, he wanted to make a comedy where Bill plays Roosevelt. I’m curious to hear what you all think—how do you picture Bill Murray as a president, or even a big-time charmer?
In case some of you aren't familiar with who Bill Murray is, let me tell you—he's one of the guys who starred in Ghostbusters.

I honestly have no idea if I'm allowed to start a thread like this here. If not, I'll leave it to the moderators to decide where this should actually go.
Since I'm still getting the hang of navigating this forum, I'll take this chance to ask the moderators: why isn't there a dedicated thread where newbies like me can ask questions about the site? If such a thing already exists, I'd be so grateful if you could point me in the right direction!
That being said, I'll write a quick little synopsis just to give everyone a better idea of what this is about. I won't copy anything word-for-word, but I'll explain the setup in my own way.
So, the story takes place back in 1939 in Hyde Park, New York. President Roosevelt is basically stuck in the middle of his mother and his wife—kind of like being the meat in a sandwich—while trying to deal with the rise of Nazism in Europe and his own health struggles. For those who might not know, Roosevelt dealt with polio, which left him with paralyzed legs.
Into his frantic little world comes this old acquaintance—a long-forgotten relative played by Laura Linney. Pretty soon, she's going to be discovering all sorts of things while hanging out with our President Roosevelt.
