Film Discussion: Melania/Becoming

***WE ARE UPDATING THIS TO REFLECT THE ACTUAL DATE/TIME NOW THAT MELANIA IS AVAILABLE ON STREAMING***

Let’s dive into the cinematic portraits of two of the fiercest first ladies in contemporary U.S. time. We’ll talk about motivations for production of the respective films, storytelling, public reception, and more.

For a fair and balanced perspective, please commit to viewing BOTH, Melania Trump’s Melania (2026) (104 min), in theaters as of this posting and soon-to-be available to stream exclusively on Prime Video; and Michelle Obama’s Becoming (2020) (89 min), available to stream exclusively on Netflix.

Direct message a host, or post in the comments if you have a desire to join us for the matinee screening of Melania on Presidents Day, Monday, February 16th 2026 at Cinemark Century Rio Plex 24.
Just remember, we plan to reserve commentary until the discussion.
