All The President's Minutes - Minute 36 with Justin Chang

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 36, Justin and I discuss the cinema of the mundane; President's fitting the brief of the Manny Farmer/Nathan Lee descriptor - "termite art", and somehow Voldemort supporting/journalist hack Rita Skeeter from Harry Potter.
