All The President's Minutes - Minute 14 with Brendan Hodges

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 fourteen host, Blake Howard joins an incredible film mind and film critic on sabbatical, Brendan Hodges. Blake and Brendan discuss that this movie is addictive, engrossing, as well as a profoundly humanising film for its characters; Gordon Willis' "gorgeous, shadow-tinged frames"; and using procedural devices to paint an impressionistic portrait of this web of paranoia.

Film Critic on sabbatical, bylines at Roger Ebert dot com - @ebertvoices, and The Metaplex - http://TheMetaplex.com. Lover of the B movie and prone to ramble about aspect ratios at parties.
