Ep 23 - Network (1976)

from The Invasion of the Poddy Snatchers · host Paddy Moore And Niel Garrett

"We'll tell you anything you want to hear, we lie like hell." This week, the Poddysnatchers tune into the airwaves of righteous rage and media madness with Sidney Lumet’s 1976 classic "Network". From unhinged news anchors to corporate overlords with god complexes, we dive into the prophetic chaos of a film that predicted reality TV, influencer culture, and the commodification of outrage long before the internet ever got its hands dirty. Is Howard Beale a tragic hero or a cautionary tale? Has TV ever really stopped exploiting us for ratings? And are we still mad as hell, or just too tired to notice?
