A certain former president and first lady have made their mark in Hollywood.
“The Obamas settling into new role as Netflix producers,” said The Hollywood Reporter — referring of course to former President Barack Obama and Michelle Obama, who signed an exclusive production deal with Netflix some 15 months ago, then formed a Los Angeles-based production company called Higher Ground.
More significantly, the couple is now readying their first release, a documentary titled “American Factory,” which chronicles the culture clash between Chinese and American workers in a U.S. auto glass factory. It is set to debut on Netflix before 139 million subscribers in 190 countries on Aug. 21 and will also be screened in select theaters around the nation.
The film was already cited at the Sundance Film Festival earlier this year. The couple’s next project will be “Bloom,” a dramatic series set in New York City shortly after World War II. The former White House residents, meanwhile, appear to be settling in at Netflix.
“Netflix staffers describe the surreal experience of an office visit from the president, who reportedly enters the building via an underground tunnel connected to the parking garage,” the Hollywood Reporter said. “Some have found themselves in a spontaneous conversation with Obama about a project, while others are delighted when he remembers their name from a previous meeting. According to agents, meetings with Obama proceed surprisingly normally, because he makes small talk,” the industry publication advised.
The Obamas have also signed an exclusive agreement with Spotify to produce podcasts and will voice some of the productions themselves, according to Deadline Hollywood.

Eat concealment of a huge penis award for him at least
Remake ‘Coming to America”!!!
Cancelled my netflix this morning. Entertainment like this is supposed to amuse me. Between their hatred of conservatives and paying ridiculous amounts of money to the obamas, I am not amused.
Underground Tunnel eh?
That’s going to be a winner, a movie about auto glass. Maybe Safelight will advertise.
I'd rather watch endless panning shots of a field of cow manure than anything Odungo and his Wookie produced as a film. It would be on a higher level and surely more entertaining.
Netflix is headed to the garbage dump of history along with Blockbuster video.
The Obamas have zero experience in anything.
Baraq was elected because he was “black” although he is arabic/african. His wife is a hanger onner.
They were nothing but celebrity president/first wookie for 8 years.
It’s a huge yellow monster
They aren’t listed anywhere in the movie’s wiki page.
This is something else obamy didn’t build.
They could film the life of a cow patty and get accolades.
Titled “ A Turd Goes to Washington”
