James L. Brooks continues as we look at the second film he directed, Broadcast News! This film also received a Best Picture nomination, and may be his most beloved film. Starring Holly Hunter, William Hurt, and Albert Brooks, this film centers on a love triangle that forms between three people working at a news network, while also featuring commentary on the state of journalism circa 1987 that has remained relevant over the years.
Our hosts are both watching for the first time, and we break down the performances, the themes, and why this film is still so enjoyable almost 40 years later.
Plus, Christian’s thoughts on Train Dreams and Scott’s thoughts on Predator: Badlands!
