All The President's Minutes - Minute 111 with Oscar Hillerstrom
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 111, I join former Popcorn Taxi host, co-founder of Empire Magazine Australia, a former presenter on the Sci-Fi Channel and one of the sharpest minds in the Australian film community, Oscar Hillerstrom. Oscar and I talk about the power and influence of Goldman's script, Robert Redford delivering "Redford" moments before Oscar regales me with tales of Werner Herzog calling Jason Robards a "physical coward".
