All The President's Minutes - Minute 58 with Robert Daniels

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 58, I join a film critic with bylines at RogerEbert.com ( https://www.rogerebert.com/contributors/robert-daniels ) , ThePlaylist ( https://theplaylist.net/author/robert-daniels/ ) , Vulture ( https://www.vulture.com/2020/06/joel-schumacher-was-hollywoods-greatest-genre-chameleon.html ) , Consequence of Sound ( https://consequenceofsound.net/author/robert-daniels/ ) , Polygon ( https://www.polygon.com/users/Robert_Daniels ) , Film School Rejects ( https://filmschoolrejects.com/films-with-inspirational-black-stories/ ) , Robert Daniels. Robert and I discuss what it's like to be "Presidential Nerd," having a great teacher in high school who handed a DVD copy of President's for a teenager with a conspiratorial itch to scratch and the perpetual slow death of the concept of "media." ---------------------- *ABOUT ROBERT DANIELS* ---------------------- Robert Daniels has expressed a passion for films since, as a child, his father first introduced him to John Ford's movies.
