All The President's Minutes - Minute 5 with Travis Johnson
All The President's Minutes is a podcast where conversations about movies, journalism, politics and history meet. Each show we use the seminal and increasingly prescient 1976 film All The President's Men as a portal, to engage with the themes and the warnings of the film resonating since its release. For minute five host, Blake Howard joins film critic, journalist and occasional political commentator, Travis Johnson. Travis and Blake discuss that in 2020 Nixon's behaviour barely registers a 'who gives a shit,' blind ideological tribalism, and praise the work of Anthony Mannio, an actor who connects Highlander, Weekend at Bernies and All the President's Men.
Directed by Alan J. Pakula, written by two-time Oscar-winning screenwriter William Goldman from the novel by reporters Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein, starring Robert Redford and Dustin Hoffman; All The President's Men is a perfect film about an imperfect time.
