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 two host, Blake Howard joins the political editor of Business Insider Australia and journalist, J.R Hennessy. J.R and Blake discuss the prophetic nature of President's Men by focusing on the trade of journalism and the pursuit of truth. J.R and Blake also take an essential digression to contrast another "primary source" film David Fincher and Aaron Sorkin's The Social Network and the quaint conclusions compared to the more substantial political ramifications a decade later.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.ABOUT J.R.
