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. About Jane Alexander (via Broadway Buzz) Jane Alexander has a distinguished stage career. She has performed in more than 100 plays, been honoured with numerous awards including her Tony Award for The Great White Hope, and Obie, Drama League, Drama Desk and Theatre World awards, and was inducted into the Theatre Hall of Fame in 1994.

For minute 135, I join an author, one of Australia's most infamous satirists, and a member of The Chaser, Charles Firth. Charles and I discuss what it's like to be on the ground in a swing state talking to Trump supporters, how nice it would be to be a black belt in shamelessness, and finally that this feels like an action movie, where the typewriters are the weapons of choice.  About Charles Firth Charles Firth is an Australian comedian, best known as a member of The Chaser productions CNNNN and The Chaser's War on Everything.Twitter: @charlesfirth & @chaserWebsites: The Chaser & The Shovel present War On 2020 Chaser Digital Presents: WAR ON 2020War on 2020 is a series of 13 sketches about the year that will be distributed online. Firth said, "The demand for content that pours shit on 2020 is so immense that I'm pretty sure the NBN will collapse the moment we release the first video. We got Josh Frydenberg to help us work out our download numbers, and he reckons 60 billion Australians will watch each video." The War on 2020, features an all-stars line up of the best satirical comedians in the country, directed by Jenna Owen and Victoria Zerbst (SBS The Feed), and written and performed by Mark Humphries (ABC 7:30), Nina Oyama (Utopia), Sami Shah (ABC Radio), Steph Tisdell (Deadly Funny), Nat Damena (SBS The Feed) and James Schloeffel (The Shovel). The series will also utilise the writing talents of Evan Williams and Rebecca Shaw. It will be produced by Charles Firth (The Chaser) and DOPed by Chloe Angelo (At Home Alone Together).Executive Producer Charles Firth said, "Everyone knows 2020 was the worst year ever, and so what better way to send it off than with a withering takedown by Australia's top scientists and medical professionals. Unfortunately, none of them were available, so instead we've hired a whole lot of satirists to dress up as scientists and doctors, which is good because they're much cheaper."War on 2020 will be released online through social media and on the Chaser and Shovel sites throughout December. There will also be two ticketed live Zoom performances of the show on 11th & 12th December. Tickets to that show can be bought at www.chaser.com.au/live and www.theshovel.com.au/liveSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/one-heat-minute-productions/exclusive-contentAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

For minute 132, I join author, co-host of the Empire podcast and editor at large of Empire Magazine, Helen O'Hara. Helen and I discuss the revisionist view of those "Easy Riders & Raging Bulls," how they don't make journalists like Ben Bradlee/Jason Robards anymore, and the gravitational disturbance caused by the line, "everyone is involved." About Helen O'Hara Helen O'Hara has been working as a film journalist for over fifteen years, after qualifying as a barrister and immediately getting bored. She started her film writing career on the staff of Empire, the world's biggest film magazine, and remains their editor-at-large and co-host of the Empire podcast, where she can be found weekly singing the praises of the Marvel Cinematic Universe and complaining about La La Land. She is also an author and freelance writer. Northern Irish born, O'Hara now lives in London, splitting her time between cinemas, libraries and coffee shops.Women vs Hollywood: The Fall and Rise of Women in Filmis out in February 2021Synopsis: A call to arms from Empire magazine's 'geek queen', Helen O'Hara that explores women's roles - both in front of and behind the camera - since the birth of Hollywood, how those roles are reflected within wider society and what we can do to level the playing field.  The dawn of cinema was a free-for-all, and there were women who forged ahead in many areas of filmmaking. Early pioneers like Dorothy Arzner (who invented the boom mic, among other innovations) and Alice Guy-Blache shaped the way films are made. But it wasn't long before these talented women were pushed aside and their contributions written out of film history. How and why did this happen? Hollywood was born just over a century ago, at a time of huge forward motion for women's rights, yet it came to embody the same old sexist standards. Women found themselves fighting a system that feeds on their talent, creativity and beauty but refuses to pay them the same respect as their male contemporaries - until now... The tide has finally begun to turn. A new generation of women, both in front of and behind the camera, are making waves in the industry and are now shaping some of the biggest films to hit our screens. There is plenty of work still needed before we can even come close to gender equality in film - but we're finally headed in the right direction. In Women vs Hollywood: The Fall and Rise of Women in Film, Empire's 'geek queen' Helen O'Hara takes a closer look at the pioneering and talented women of Hollywood and their work in film since Hollywood began. Equal representation in film matters because it both reflects and influences wider societal gender norms. In understanding how women were largely written out of Hollywood's own origin story, and how the films we watch are put together, we can finally see how to put an end to a picture that is so deeply unequal - and discover a multitude of stories out there just waiting to be told.Twitter: @HelenLOHaraSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/one-heat-minute-productions/exclusive-contentAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

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 131, I join writers of The Post, writer-producer  Liz Hannah (writer of The Long Shot) and Josh Singer (Academy Award-winning co-writer of Spotlight). Liz, Josh and I discuss showing The Post in front of Woodward and Bernstein, compare Hanks and Robards "Bradlee" performances and finally the most "movie" moment of the entire film. About Liz Hannah Liz Hannah is the writer of The Post, directed by Steven Spielberg and starring Meryl Streep and Tom Hanks. The original screenplay was nominated for a Golden Globe and Critics Choice Award. The Post was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Picture, as well as Best Actress for Meryl Streep. Along with co-writer, Josh Singer, Hannah was the recipient of both the 2018 Writer’s Guild’s Paul Selvin Award and the 2018 Humanitas Prize for feature drama. Originally from New York, Hannah moved to Los Angeles to attend graduate school at AFI. After graduating with an MFA in Producing, Hannah spent the next few years working in development at Denver & Delilah before eventually leaving to write full time. Hannah’s script for The Post was ranked second on the 2016 Black List after being purchased by Amy Pascal’s Pascal Pictures two days before the US Presidential election. Currently, Hannah is developing a female anthology series for UCP, a limited series for Amazon with Bradley Whitford and Amy Pascal based on the book, The Mercury 13, and a feature entitled, The Only Plane In The Sky, for MGM, which was adapted from the Politico article by Garrett M.
