Welcome back to EVERY FILM. EVERYWHERE., the podcast where an obsessed cinephile drags a casual movie fan through the greatest movies ever made, whether they asked for it or not.
This week, we are tuning in to Sidney Lumet’s scorching 1976 satire, Network, written by the legendary Paddy Chayefsky. We break down Peter Finch’s iconic "I'm mad as hell" meltdown as unhinged news anchor Howard Beale, Faye Dunaway’s ruthless pursuit of ratings, and how a movie from the seventies eerily predicted today’s 24-hour outrage machine and social media algorithms—plus, we find out if a two-hour boardroom satire holds up for a casual viewer or just feels like homework.
