About this episode
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 84, I join lecturer of English at Yale, screenwriter, host of To Live & Dialogue in LA podcast on the Yale Podcast Network, Aaron Tracy. Aaron and I discuss the tragic hubbub between Redford and Goldman, this scene as a substitute action scene and finally skip into the next minute to heap praise on the line; "I don't want a cookie."
