If you’ve seen the movie, “Star Wars: Rogue One”, you’ll remember how the end of that film, a prequel to the original 1977 Star Wars film, meshes seamlessly into the beginning of Star Wars. Darth Vader is light sabering through a bunch of rebels into the rebells’ ship. Well, this film is sort of similar to Rogue One.

At the end of “The Post” (oh, and this really isn’t a Spoiler Warning, if you don’t know anything about Watergate than that’s on you) the break-in at the Watergate occurs. So, if you watch this movie and then next watch the GREAT* 1976 film, “All The Presidents Men” it sort of meshes, just like my Star Wars example does. Long story short, I like to think that “The Post” is a prequel to “All The Presidents Men”.

* – I say great because this movie makes my personal top 30 Favorite Films of All Time.
