All The President's Minutes - Minute 22 with Manohla Dargis
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 twenty-two host, Blake Howard joins, in his opinion, the greatest living film critic, Manohla Dargis. Blake and Manohla get so involved in the sprawling dissection of the scene that we forget to watch the minute at hand.
