For Your ReConsideration: Network (1976)




OscarWatch Podcast show

Summary: This week, we're as mad as hell and we aren't going to take it any more! So, naturally, we're going to discuss the 1976 Best Picture nominee (and winner of Best Original Screenplay), Network, a film that is called a satire but in the forty years since its release, has become something more akin to prophecy. Joining Steve is Shahir Daud from The Only Podcast About Movies to discuss Paddy Chayefsky's brilliant, award winning script; one full of passion, fury, anger, ideas and maybe one too many monologues. What does the movie have to say about us - the audience - and the world at large? Nothing good, really, but it's one hell of a ride.
