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 twenty-two host, Blake Howard joins writer & director of THE TROUBLE WITH THE TRUTH, contributor to American Cinematographer & Filmmaker, AMPAS historian, Jim Hemphill. Blake and Jim try and unpack why a movie about people talking, where everyone knows the ending is so damned riveting.About Jim HemphillJim Hemphill is the award-winning screenwriter and director of THE TROUBLE WITH THE TRUTH, a critically acclaimed (currently 94% at Rotten Tomatoes) romantic drama starring Lea Thompson and John Shea.
