All the President’s Men

The continuing podcast journey of a boy becoming a young man one iconic movie at a time. 

James had never seen Alan J. Pakula’s gripping political thriller, All the President’s Men, so he watched it with Dan and they recorded a podcast about it. In this episode, they follow the slow-burning investigation of journalists Woodward and Bernstein as they uncover the Watergate scandal and explore how a film built on note-taking, paperwork and door-knocking somehow creates edge-of-your-seat tension. They also discuss William Goldman’s Oscar-winning screenplay, the film’s meticulous direction, and ask how watching two men talk on the phone can be so compelling.
