All The President's Minutes - Minute 137 (Finale) with Jane Alexander: 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 137, I join four-time Oscar nominee, Tony Award winner and Theatre Hall-of-Famer, Jane Alexander. Jane and I discuss making of the Bookkeeper scene, how this is the only movie of hers that she'll rewatch and a Pakula directed Eleanor Roosevelt movie that might have been. by One Heat Minute Productions
