All The President's Minutes - Minute 80 with Meg Shields
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 80, I join senior contributor at Film School Rejects/One Perfect Shot and writer at Cinema Scope Magazine, Meg Shields. Meg and I discuss "what if Scott Glenn and lasers?"; the horror story of Martha Mitchell seen through the performance of Jane Alexander; and the fact that with great power comes great "mob-ish" behaviour.
