All The President's Minutes - Minute 7 with Lee Zachariah




One Heat Minute Productions show

Summary: 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 seven host, Blake Howard joins writer, T.V producer, journalist and author Lee Zachariah. Lee and Blake discuss that All The President's Men is the ultimate "just the facts Maam" of films, information as "thriller" and the necessary shock of these cops dressed as hippies taking down the guys in suits. Directed by Alan J. Pakula, written by two-time Oscar-winning screenwriter William Goldman from the novel by reporters Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein, starring Robert Redford and Dustin Hoffman; All The President's Men is a perfect film about an imperfect time.
