In this episode of Just That Film Podcast, we revisit Bulworth (1998), Warren Beatty’s bold political satire that remains one of the sharpest, funniest, and most fearless films of the 1990s.

Written, directed by, and starring Warren Beatty, Bulworth follows disillusioned U.S. Senator Jay Bulworth, who, after suffering a personal and political crisis, begins speaking his mind with complete honesty during his re-election campaign. What follows is a wildly unpredictable blend of biting satire, comedy, drama, and social commentary.

Alongside Beatty, the film features standout performances from Halle Berry, Oliver Platt, Don Cheadle, Paul Sorvino, Jack Warden, Isaiah Washington, and Christine Baranski.

This episode sparks one of our most divided discussions yet. While one of us sees Bulworth as a daring, intelligent satire that’s just as relevant today as it was in 1998, the other isn’t nearly as convinced. We debate whether its political commentary still lands, whether the humour has aged well, and if the film deserves its cult reputation or is simply a fascinating curiosity from the late ’90s.

🎬 Topics include:
• Warren Beatty’s outstanding performance
• Halle Berry and the supporting cast
• The film’s fearless political satire
• Why we’re divided on the film
• Themes of politics, race, media, and corruption
• Favourite scenes and memorable dialogue
• Has Bulworth aged well?
• Is it an underrated classic or an overrated curiosity?

🎙️ Join the debate and let us know where you stand on Bulworth. Is it a forgotten masterpiece or a film that doesn’t quite live up to its reputation?
