We hope that you are all keeping busy and staying safe during the self-quarantine and want to let you know we will be publishing more articles, lists and stories that we hope will help keep you entertained during this stressful time. During this crazy time it is easy to forget that 2020 is election year and keeping up with this political time we’ve put together our list of the best political movie posters.
