Episode Details

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 89, I join writer, director, teacher and co-host of Slate's WORKING podcast, Isaac Butler. Isaac and I discuss that this movie would not have been possible without method acting (despite Hoffman being the only key actor formally trained) before Isaac compares me to Spielberg and I end the show over-f*cking-whelmed.
