All The President's Minutes - Minute 6 with Mark Humphries
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 six host, Blake Howard joins one of Australia's very best satirists, Mark Humphries. Mark and Blake discuss the burden of looking like Eric Trump, shitting yourself because you're in the position of the burglars, keeping a separate Twitter purely to talk musicals and how hard it is to stop watching this film.
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.
