All The President's Minutes - Minute 39 with Jen Johans
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 39, I join award-winning author, film critic and podcast host Jen Johans. Jen and I discuss podcasting as a medium, the formation of the "One Heat Family," the importance of Robert Redford in Jen's education and her parents' fist movie date, before agreeing with Steven Soderbergh's take that Deep Throat is composed without humanity.

About Jen Johans
An avid film buff and three-time national award-winning writer, the only time Jen Johans ever got into trouble in school, was for talking about movies during quiet time. Jen Johans received a BA in Film Studies and was dubbed a walking movie encyclopedia. Dedicated to sharing her love of film with others, Johans went from working on local festivals to curating and hosting a film discussion series before she launched the first version of her site Film Intuition in her final semester back in 2006.
Originally devoted solely to the work of female filmmakers (hence its name), Film Intuition eventually branched out as readership grew to cover everything from classic to modern mainstream fare. After twelve years and 2,400 pieces, Johans remains just as committed as ever to reviewing films made by women.
