Raising Buchanan (2019)

 Two women desperate for money (Amanda Melby and Cathy Shim) take advantage of a highly unusual situation to abduct the body of former president James Buchanan and hold it ransom. They are disappointed when no one is willing to pay for the corpse of arguably America's worst president. Rene Auberjonois plays a sort of vision of Buchanan who appears to Melby and they needle each other. M. Emmet Walsh plays a hospace patient who refuses to die, much like M. Emmett Walsh, while Andy Dick's part was recast due to sexual battery allegations. Comedy is very nitch, and it's a nitch I'm in. **1/2
