‘FDR: American Badass’ Officially Dated For Home Video

The shocking secret history of our 32nd American President is finally revealed in the triple-threat action/horror/comedy FDR: American Badass, available on DVD September 25th from Screen Media.

The film stars Barry Bostwick, of TV’s “Spin City,” “Cougar Town” and The Rocky Horror Picture Show fame, as Franklin Delano Roosevelt, who, after being left crippled by a werewolf bite, decides to run for President in order to stop a global werewolf curse controlled by Hitler, Mussolini and Hirohito.

Joining Bostwick in the ass-kicking fun is a who’s who of cult film and television stars, including Lin Shaye (There’s Something About Mary) as Eleanor Roosevelt, Kevin Sorbo (TV’s “Hercules”) as Abraham Lincoln, and Ray Wise (TV’s “Twin Peaks”) as Douglas MacArthur. FDR: American Badass was written and produced by Ross Patterson (Poolboy: Drowning Out the Fury, upcoming Darnell Dawkins: Mouth Guitar Legend), who also co-stars. Fans of Airplane! and The Naked Gun series won’t want to miss the unapologetically rude and crude humor of FDR: American Badass when he rolls in on DVD and On Demand.

FDR: American Badass, which has opened in limited cities and screened at Comic-Con, will be available On Demand on September 11. FDR: American Badass will also have additional limited theatrical runs in Cleveland (9/8), Phoenix (Labor Day Weekend), Vancouver (9/21), Las Vegas (10/5) and Chicago (TBD). READ MORE
