From Reagan to Trump in the Movies: J. Hoberman

The synergy between politics and popular culture has never been clearer or stronger than in the Age of Reagan – and now there’s a wonderful new book on “movie culture in the Age of Reagan” – it’s called “Make My Day,” by J. Hoberman; for thirty years he was a film critic for the Village Voice.  He talks about Dirty Harry, “Star Wars,”  and “Ghostbusters” – and how Trump compares with Reagan, pointing to Howard Beale in "Network" and to Rocky's racist happy ending.
