Episode #024 - Network

This episode was bound to happen. As one of the greatest media satires in cinema history, it was only inevitable that Matt was going to pick Network to watch with Jess. She did her Master's thesis about reality TV...he knew she was going to have a lot of thoughts. A fifty year old film about network television should not be this relevant, and yet here we are: mad as hell and wondering when we won't take it anymore.Jess ponders that and a whole lot more. There's the capitalism and commoditization of everything, there's the lack of empathy in the entertainment world, there's concern for Howard Beale's mental health, and there's more info about MTV's The Real World that you (and Matt) didn't know about before. Also, there's Sybil The Soothsayer, which is just kinda fun to say out loud.---Email: [email protected]: https://www.instagram.com/icantbelieveyouhaventseen?igsh=MXNzajkyeWtudnEwdg%3D%3D&utm_source=qrTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@icantbelieveyoupodcast?_t=ZS-8ybWbMd0BKU&_r=1Matt's Letterboxd: Matty236---Music by: https//:www.bensound.comLicense code: VP5E3U204O5ELA2W
