All The President's Minutesis a podcast where conversations about movies, journalism, politics and history meet. To celebrate the Imprint Films release of The Parallax View, featuring a commentary track by yours truly, I’ve assembled a special double episode discussion of the centrepiece of Alan J. Pakula’s paranoia trilogy. The first of two episodes enlists the incredibly talented filmmaking power couple, Karyn Kusama and Phil Hay.
