All The President's Minutes - Minute 109 with Joshua Rothkopf
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 109, I welcome back President's super-fan, incredibly insightful film critic with bylines TheNew York Times, London's The Observer, Sight & Sound and former editor of Time Out New York, Joshua Rothkopf. In this joyful chat, Joshua and I discuss the heightened paranoia of the scene, the formal kinship to the work of Giallo and Argento, the fog in the plaza lifting revealing the vessels of our paranoia and so much more.
