All The President's Minutes - Minute 110 with Tom Clift
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 110, I join production editor at Crikey News, former editor and writer for Junkee and Concrete Playground and co-founder of Movie Mezzanine, Tom Clift. Tom and I discuss the series as a time capsule for 2020, the similarities between President's and Heat, Tom's new appreciation for the 'work' of journalism presented in the movie and finally the potential tone of the final episodes of the series depending on results of the U.S election.
