Today, the Kicking the Seat Podcast and HollywoodChicago.com’s Pat “The Uber Critic” McDonald amp up the paranoia with a “Reelpolitik” look at The Parallax View! Alan J. Pakula’s precursor to All the President’s Men finds Warren Beatty dodging death and searching for the truth behind a senator’s assassination. The down-on-his-luck newspaper reporter soon discovers that the only person he can trust is himself, and that not even he is a reliable source!
Ian and Pat unravel the film’s eerily prescient ideas about the political/industrial complex; chuckle at Beatty’s amazing luck; and find parallels to Parallax in the modern political climate!
Also, Ian layers on the spandex and heads down to The Spoiler Room for a round table review of Mystery Men, and shares a video for Pat’s music duo, The Dark Room Men!
