Podcast appearances and mentions of Howard Beale

Our journey through Satire September is coming to a close here on We Drink & We Watch Things, and we're ending with what might be the most chillingly prophetic film of them all: the 1976 classic, "Network." We both absolutely loved this movie, and what surprised us most was how eerily relevant it feels almost fifty years later. Grab your drink, and prepare for a discussion that feels less like a look back and more like a warning.This week, we're dissecting the genius of Paddy Chayefsky's Oscar-winning script and Sidney Lumet's powerful direction. We'll be talking about how the film's "mad prophet of the airwaves" Howard Beale and the ruthless pursuit of ratings didn't just satirize television, it predicted the media landscape we live in today, from reality TV to the sensationalized, rage-fueled news cycle. We'll chat about the brilliant monologues, the incredible performances from the entire cast, and why a film that was once considered a wild exaggeration now feels like a horrifying documentary.If you're looking for a masterclass in screenwriting, a powerful piece of cinema, or just want to hear us marvel at how something made in the 70s could see so clearly into our future, then this is the episode for you. We're blending our appreciation for this brilliantly written film with our usual casual banter, making this the perfect, thought-provoking conclusion to a month dedicated to satire. Now, if you'll excuse us, we're going to go scream out our windows that we're "mad as hell, and we're not going to take this anymore!"This episode VIDEO is live on YouTube AND Spotify!Follow us on Instagram and TikTok to get ep sneak peaks and find out what's coming next.

Nearly 50 years later, Network still feels like it was made for today's media landscape.

"I'm as mad as hell, and I'm not going to take this anymore" This is a line from the 1976 movie Network. The line is spoken by Howard Beale, a character who is angry about the state of America. The executive vice president at a huge bank asked where I was from. "So you left that cesspool to move up here," he said. I said, "Why are so many of you so jealous of New York, is it an inferiority complex?" (This guy was later cashiered because of massive sexual harassment charges.) Then you have the passive-aggressive types: "I assume your daughter's school as her backup school"? "No, but you wouldn't know how good it is because your kids could never get in and you could never pay for it." My first Ferrari: "Look, you can't afford the insurance and she could never learn to drive it." Three Ferraris later, he put me into the first Bentley sports car for $150,000 to try to buy my good will. I've now had seven Bentley's. Stop taking crap from people. When the woman in the coffee shop was rude twice in a row, I told the owner, whom I've known since he opened up 20 years ago. "I'll take care of it," he said. She's all peaches and cream now. Prudence is required. I don't respond to poor driving. I don't want to encourage road rage. But I have taken movies of truck doing 40 on the main street, and a state bus tailgating at six feet behind cars. I received very thankful notes from the trucking company and the Rhode Island transit people. How will they know if no one tells them? I stop donating to causes that are poorly run, don't conduct quality events, and constantly berate me as if I'm an ATM. I hang up on every phone solicitation. The gym knows that when I'm there, if they can, they don't play rap music featuring the "N-word," or "mother F," or any other Fbomb, or calling women "bitches." That's not a matter of taste. It's revolting. Should they show porn videos on the wall, as well? I don't try to please other people's accounting departments and their affectations. They don't need a W2 from me, I'm a corporation. I don't send invoices for minor amounts. And I'm on them like the wrath of God if they owe me money past the due date. And speaking of God: Jesus said to turn the other cheek, but he never said to let them keep hitting you.

In this episode of Badlands Story Hour, hosted by Chris Paul and Burning Bright, we dive deep into Sidney Lumet's 1976 film Network, exploring its chilling relevance to today's media landscape. The movie's portrayal of media manipulation, corporate control, and the construction of reality through television is dissected with a sharp focus on how these themes echo in modern infotainment. We discuss the timeless narrative of Howard Beale as a "mad prophet" and its parallels to contemporary news and entertainment, touching on how corporations shape public perception and profit from the stories they tell. Tune in for a thought-provoking analysis of how fiction becomes reality, from Hollywood to the newsrooms of today.

SERIES 3 EPISODE 64: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (1:44) SPECIAL COMMENT: Yeah, I heard it too. I heard him he "shouldn't have left" the White House when his term ended. And I heard him say AT his rally that he wouldn't mind people shooting at the reporters COVERING his rally. And I guess it's shocking. Except he's been saying these things (a little more coded) since 2015, and he said the shooting thing about Liz Cheney last Thursday night. And after all he is going through what the shrinks call “disinhibition” AT the rallies where he loses all sense of what he should say in private not public. But that's not what got me. I heard something I have never heard before. WHEN he said he wouldn't mind people shooting the "fake news," he said he wouldn't mind them shooting THROUGH "the fake news" - THROUGH it - AT him. Doesn't that sound kind of… what's the word? Suicidal? Plus: I understand that we are inside the 48 hour bubble before the election and the pressure is like 887 Atmospheric Units and our rage against this creature and his cult that wants to burn this country to the ground – burn this world to the ground – and our amazement that there is ANYBODY voting for him – that RAGE is at unbearable levels – but… didn't he sound kinda dead yesterday? At one point he was inaudible. At another, in North Carolina, he thought he was in Pennsylvania. Throughout, he sounded exactly like Hal the Computer in the movie “2001” when they unplugged him. PRACTICALLY SPEAKING on the eve of the election, the polls continue to support a Harris victory (size TBD) and this shocking poll where she's up by 3 in Iowa hides an even more shocking number (she's ahead by 20 among women in the whitest part of the midwest). And the reaction to the pollster who published this 21 point swing from June tells you all you need to know about polling. They have previously insisted Ann Selser was an immortal. Now they're saying she's making the rest of them look bad by not tailoring her poll to fit their narrative. B-Block (30:33) THINGS I PROMISED NOT TO TELL: A Trumpist has vowed to "castrate himself on camera" if Harris wins Iowa (if you're a Trumpist, haven't you already castrated yourself?). Chris Cillizza 2024 mocks everybody who didn't buy the conventional wisdom about the vice presidency (evidently including Chris Cillizza 2020, who had disproved it), and courtesy Tim Alberta in The Atlantic, we find a new reason to hate Trump. This is the real reason he's so mad Biden dropped out. Trump thought he had the perfect nickname for the President - and it's appalling. C-Block (37:48) THINGS I PROMISED NOT TO TELL: I call it The Annual Day I Get Trapped Inside My Home Day. You know it - and may have seen it on TV yesterday - as "The New York City Marathon."  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this episode of Left of the Projector, I discuss the 1976 film Network with graduate film student Andre Swai. We analyze the film's biting satire on media, focusing on Howard Beale's descent into sensationalism and Faye Dunaway's obsession with ratings. Our conversation highlights the film's critique of corporate greed and its relevance in today's media landscape as we approach 2024. We also draw connections to other films that echo similar themes, reinforcing "Network's" enduring significance in cultural commentary on the interplay between entertainment and societal values.Apologies for the quality on this one.

What does this 1976 film, which tells the story of a failing television network, and the psychological breakdown of its primary news anchorman, Howard Beale, tell us about market forces in media and the import of ratings in generating income? Why does the programming director, Dianne Christinsen, have no problem with exploiting Beale's mental breakdown? What message is sent by the ironic fact that the communist party USA enters into contract with the network and a leftist splinter group, the Ecumenical Liberation Army to create a reality show? Are they not behaving exactly as the capitalists do? How does this film portray the cynicism in the arrangement and mirror the exploitative relationship between the establishment Communist Party and the splinter group, on the one hand, and, on the other hand, the relationship between the CCA holding company, the UBS Network and Howard Beale? Why does CCA head, Arthur Jensen, sell Howard his “corporate cosmology,” yet not seem concerned as the message causes ratings to decline as Beale takes it up on the network's revamped “news” show? What does the broadcast assassination of Beale tell us about all the parties involved in the conspiracy? How does the Hollywood of the time reflect the cynicism of the 1970s? Does this film's message and “cosmology” have relevance for today's media environment?

This is a film review of Network (1976) one of the greatest movies of all time. Network shows how the news went from being a social service to being a for profit part of big corporate news networks. Before the late 1970's channels would lose money on the news services. However in the late 1970's that would change. CNN would be borne in 1980 as a response, thus cementing in the age of the 24 hours Soft News Cycle to replace the hard news of the past. Human interest stories, car chases, and communist terrorists dominated the air waves because they got ratings. This has only continued to get worse. Network the film predicted it all. Network also has some of the best all time monologues by Howard Beale where he goes off and explains the nature of the world. These have inspired anti globalist videos for years.

SIX MINUTES FROM THE 1976 FILM "NETWORK" STILL RELEVANT TODAY-James HohmannWashington PostNed Beatty, who died June 13, 2021 at the age of 83, appeared in more than 160 movies and television shows, mostly in minor but memorable roles — none more enduring than his bravura performance in “Network,” the 1976 film that earned him an Oscar nomination for best supporting actor.Beatty was hired a week before filming, his scene was shot in a day and he appears on screen for just six minutes near the end of a two-hour movie. But his boardroom rant as Arthur Jensen, the chairman of an over-leveraged conglomerate that owns a television network, captured the zeitgeist not only of that time, but of ours as well, laying bare the undercurrents that pit nationalism and populism against globalism and corporatism.Beatty as Jensen rages at his network's anchorman, Howard Beale, for thwarting an acquisition by the Saudis. More than four decades later, it remains one of the greatest and most resonant monologues in the history of American cinema.“You have meddled with the primal forces of nature, and you will atone,” Jensen roars at Beale, the mentally ill, mad-as-hell TV host played by Peter Finch. “You get up on your little 21-inch screen and howl about America and democracy. . . . We no longer live in a world of nations and ideologies, Mr. Beale. . . . The world is a business.”The movie was intended as a cultural critique amid the fallout from Watergate, Vietnam and stagflation. With its dark satire of TV culture, “Network” is mostly remembered as an indictment of the corrupting temptations of chasing ratings. The film presciently anticipates the rise of reality TV, as well as cable news programming that focuses more on entertaining — and agitating — than informing. Watching it 45 years later, the movie feels like a harbinger of two men who once hosted their own shows — Ronald Reagan and Donald Trump — becoming president.Beatty's six-minute turn in “Network” remains his masterpiece, and its message is just as sharp now, if not sharper. “The nations of the world today,” he rails, are IBM, ITT, AT&T, DuPont, Dow, Union Carbide and Exxon. If that corporate roster sounds a bit dated, it is difficult to consider its 21st-century version, studded with social media and Internet giants such as Facebook, Google and Amazon, and conclude that Beatty's message is any less relevant.

EPISODE 213: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (1:43) SPECIAL COMMENT:  Joe Biden has still won the debt deal but now there is the chance that not only will Kevin McCarthy will lose it, but so will Joe Manchin. That putrid, unreliable, self-aggrandizing, self-inflating, fraudulent, sheep-in-sheep's clothing Senator Joe Manchin of West Virginia has managed to stick the permitting legislation for his favorite project to accelerate the end of life on the planet from catastrophic climate change, the good old Mountain Valley Natural Gas Pipeline. But Senator Tim Kaine is moving to remove the good old Mountain Valley Pipeline from the deal, since it's “completely unrelated to the debt ceiling matter” and of course it IS completely unrelated to it, and Kaine will file an amendment to get it cut the hell out of the bill. Because if President Biden would like to piss away the good will of averting a default that never should have been in play but Democrats in the House slept through the lame duck and Democrats in the White House apparently didn't know about the 14th Amendment until a couple of weeks ago… and if President Biden would like to piss away the triumph of his victory over McCarthy, and if President Biden would like to piss away the early signs of a significant poll bump – Biden 46-44 in the Echelon Insights national poll, Biden 47-43 in the Clarity national poll, just out last night, and if President Biden would like to piss away all that, the way to do it is to umbrella this albatross of the Joe Manchin's Integrity Memorial Pipeline into the Debt Deal. Plus: MAGA Chip Roy on the House Rules Committee is now pretending there is a secret deal for only unanimous votes to move bills like this onto the floor, and another MAGA Dusty Johnson is politely calling him a liar. Oh and, sorry, but the three-opponent-vanquishing hero of "Concession," Tom Wambsgans? The show's auteur says, no, he was NOT named after the three-opponent-vanquishing hero of baseball's 1920 World Series, BILL Wambsganss. Sorry! B-Block (16:05) POSTSCRIPTS TO THE NEWS: These really ARE postscripts. Not just more from the Wayback Machine but the story of how I GOT my first prestige job as a sportscaster on a top New York radio station just after my 21st birthday: the way everybody else does - by hanging around that station at 5:15 in the morning the day their sportscaster happens to call out sick. C-Block (38:40) THINGS I PROMISED NOT TO TELL: Given today's headline, this is a good time to revisit the very FIRST Special Comment in this series: it involved fossil fuels, Joe Manchin, and the need to push Biden at all times. Also, a bad Howard Beale impression.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The legendary anchorman of the classic film "Network," Howard Beale, became a cultural icon for the axiom "I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take it anymore." We're all Howard Beales now, to paraphrase John F. Kennedy. If the country has a national mood, it's mad. The fury has become so intense that it has fractured our national psyche and has provoked daily speculation from even the most blasé pundits about whether America is on the verge of another civil war. But what are the roots of the intemperate disunion that pervades almost every aspect of daily life? Where did all this anger come from, why can't we just get along and how can we stitch our splintered country together again? Those are the questions an all-star panel of nationally known headliners will explore as part of "Common Ground with Jane Whitney's" first program of the 2022 season.

It was a redemptive double feature for Arsenal this week.  First they crashed out of the Europa League in an exciting match against the team formally known as Sporting Lisbon to a wonder goal from half field, on penalties, and in a match where Gabriel Jesus made his initial start on his comeback from a severe knee injury.  Then they demolished former bogey team Crystal Palace after Chairman Steve Parish fired manager Patrick Viera before the match (psssst Steve, Patrick Viera is a former Arsenal legend and if he has done one thing in his managerial career, it's get his teams fired up to play Arsenal) to go 8 points ahead of City at he top of the table.  However, they were still not the biggest show in North London.No, that would the epic blockbuster hit still running strong in it's second season at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium: "The Full Conte."  It opens with Tottenham's 3-1 lead over bottom dwellers Southhampton melting away like the Wicked Witch of the West and concludes with Antonio Conte melting down like Howard Beale (sorry, you'll just have to Google). If only the Premier League would give Rick and Cal something to discuss on their podcasts.  Oh well, they try to make do this week.  Cal discusses the two Arsenal matches, what they mean for the season, and provides some interesting stats that put into perspective just how dominate the Gunners have been this season.  Rick discusses Tottenham's draw with Southhampton then Cal plays clips of Antonio Conte's press conference to see if Rick melts down while discussing them.  Wow!  Another action packed episode!Thank you for listening!@ATFPodcast1@ATFPodcast2https://www.arsenaltottenhamfanpodcast.com

Having a Howard Beale moment. Just can't take it anymore. Will Americans ever THINK again? Or are we doomed to be a country of bootlickers ruled by emotion? Trump presents a new idea he got from the dictator of Communist China - and his fans cheer it on?! What could possibly go wrong?

OATH KEEPERS COULD SCREW TRUMP A-Block (1:45) SPECIAL COMMENT: Keep your eye on the trial of Stewart Rhodes and the Oath Keepers as jury selection continues today. Rhodes' defense is: he and his terrorists were acting on what were to be legal orders from Trump as President. So...they just guessed that would be the case? They assumed? THEY HAD TO HAVE BEEN TOLD. Told? By whom? What will they say in their own defense and who will testify to what communications or meetings or conspiracies? They are on trial for Seditious Conspiracy and perhaps decades in jail and who they blame could be close to Trump - or Trump himself. (5:07) Other Oath Keepers have already flipped and implicated Roger Stone, Stop The Steal, and The Proud Boys (7:05) And ex-Trump physician, Congressman Ronny Jackson, who supposedly reached out to Stewart Rhodes for protection during the attempted coup.  B-Block (15:16) EVERY DOG HAS ITS DAY: Jinxie in Brooklyn (16:39) IN SPORTS: Sure they clinched their division, but what about Aaron Judge's home run drought?

(20:32) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: The book banners of Bucks County PA taking it an extra yard, the University of Idaho, and the DeSantis appointee who just quit after a KKK photo surfaced, compete for honors (24:00) THINGS I PROMISED NOT TO TELL: In the world of the movie "Network" it was 47 years ago this week that things began to go off the rails for Howard Beale, Max Schumacher, Diana Christensen, and the UBS Evening News. For my money, it's the greatest movie of all time - and especially the most prophetic.

Hosted by Andrew Quinn and Darren Mooney, and this week with special guests Ciara Moloney and Dean Buckley, The 250 is a weekly trip through some of the best (and worst) movies ever made, as voted for by Internet Movie Database Users. New episodes are released Saturdays at 6pm GMT. So this week, Sidney Lumet and Paddy Chayefsky's Network. Howard Beale is a veteran newscaster on a struggling network. When he is given his two weeks' notice, Beale threatens to shoot himself live on the air as his final broadcast. The television journeyman becomes a media storm and ratings sensation, as the network eagerly seeks to capitalise on what could be a once-in-a-generation phenomenon. At time of recording, it was ranked 219th on the list of the best movies of all time on the Internet Movie Database.

Ep. 16 Television Is Not The Truth My analysis of Peter Finches' portrayal of Howard Beale in the 1976 movie, Network. Here is a link to video on bitchute https://www.bitchute.com/video/Fntd1m5Wpjmf/ His speech about "the tube" or television " So, you listen to me. Listen to me!Television is not the truth. Television's a goddamn amusement park. Television is a circus, a carnival, a traveling troupe of acrobats, storytellers, dancers, singers, jugglers, sideshow freaks, lion tamers, and football players. So if you want the Truth, go to God. Go to your gurus. Go to yourselves! Because that's the only place you're ever gonna find any real truth. But, man, you're never gonna get any truth from us. We'll tell you anything you wanna hear. We lie like hell. We'll tell you that Kojak always gets the killer and that nobody ever gets cancer at Archie Bunker's house. And no matter how much trouble the hero is in, don't worry. Just look at your watch. At the end of the hour, he's gonna win. We'll tell you any shit you want to hear. We deal in illusions, man. None of it is true! But you people sit there, day after day, night after night -- all ages, colors, creeds. We're all you know! You're beginning to believe the illusions we're spinning here! You're beginning to think that the tube is reality and that your own lives are unreal. You do whatever the tube tells you -- You dress like the tube. You eat like the tube. You raise your children like the tube. You even think like the tube. This is mass madness, you maniacs! In God's name, you people are the real thing. We are the illusion! So turn off your television sets. Turn them off now! Turn them off right now! Turn them off and leave them off. Turn them off right in the middle of this sentence I'm speaking to you now." --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/ptpopamindrevolution/support

Hvis debatten om moralsk ansvar var en film fra 70-tallet ville Professor Emeritus Bruce Waller kanskje vært en krysning mellom Don Corleone og Howard Beale. All den tid Guds veier både er uransakelige og usaklige - noe Waller og Sturla mer eller mindre konkluderer med i episoden - velger de fleste i denne konteksten å heller tro på Julenissen aka Daniel Dennett enn å svelge Wallers pai av ydmykende kamelkjøtt. Vi har moralsk ansvar "fordi". Waller motsetter seg dette synspunktet, men skiller seg fra sine yngre og mer oppesen kolleger som Caruso og Pereboom i dét at han er veldig uttalt politisk. Som en såkalte "un-electable progressive" definerer Waller seg til venstrefor AoC og Sanders og det i tjukkeste Ohio! Ifølge Waller er det et iboende og dypt uretteferdig klasseperspektiv i debatten om moralsk ansvar som knapt har blitt berørt i land som Norge (til tross for at vi i praksis har et system som kommer nærmere enn noe andre lands i å ta Wallers synspuhnkter innover seg i praksis). Med debattn rundt avhendlingen til Andreas Ribe-Nyhus er denne debatten imidlertid mer levende i noensinne, så også her på bjerget. Vi må bare slutte å tro på nissen! cringe... Men har man virkelig ansvar for sine cringness i dypeste forstand?

Once thought as an outrageous satire, NETWORK has proven an accurate prognostication time and time again. Phenomenal casting, quotable speeches, and a cynical look at the television industry.

Get exploited in your dreams for free. More and more people just might be noticing some fundamental problems but are still a million light years from a general strike or even a Howard Beale "Mad as hell" moment. Climate summits are mainly just monstrous wastes of time and energy, all the way down to the subatomic level. Climate science has spoken on the voodoo of "net zero." Kyle Tollhouse Porterhouse did etc, and his judge/manservant loves him enough to ban zooming in on crucial video footage for, uh, reasons and, er, 'logarithms.'

Ian and Jen MacIntyre join Jeremy for NETWORK and wax poetical about what a warm and cuddly movie it is… or we just try not to pull a Howard Beale at the end…

In the 1970s, terrorist violence is the stuff of networks' nightly news programming and the corporate structure of the UBS Television Network is changing. Meanwhile, Howard Beale, the aging UBS news anchor, has lost his once strong ratings share and so the network fires him. Beale reacts in an unexpected way. We then see how this affects the fortunes of Beale, his coworkers and the network. Join us this week as we dive into this Oscar Award winning film, and while we sip on frothy Miller High Life.   As always, drive safe, drink responsibly, and keep watching movies!!

Join Dan and Brian as they view the seminal '70s satire Network for the first time, admire its almost Shakespearean devotion to monologues, praise its award-winning cast, bask in Faye Dunaway, and ponder just how much it predicted the 21st century media landscape. Dan narrates his own Howard Beale rant for 2020 while Brian notes the film's many connections to his favorite movie, UHF.  Music credits: RetroFuture Clean by Kevin MacLeod Link: https://incompetech.filmmusic.io/song/4277-retrofuture-clean License: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/

In the most famous scene from the legendary film, Network (1976), populist news anchor, Howard Beale, creates a viral sensation before the internet became a thing: he tells his viewers, “I'm as mad as hell and I'm not gonna take this anymore!” And thousands of people across the country yell from their windows and rooftops repeating the mantra, “I'm as mad as hell and I'm not gonna take this anymore!” More than 40 years on, in our neoliberal wasteland, we have every right to be mad as hell as we huddle in our unpaid Covid-abodes with no more Bernie Bucks or stimulus, while microbes attack us relentlessly. With the Siberian forests on fire, the Great Barrier Reef deforming into black bones & ash and the oceans gasping for oxygen while record temperatures make Death Valley feel like Venus, we must become mad – with a rage that runs on love for what's been lost and for what we might still win. This week, Jesse & Matt celebrate the multi-authored manifesto, A Planet to Win: Why We Need a Green New Deal, published in 2019 by Verso Books. Our co-hosts will talk about the vitality and importance of this book and how the beating heart of any radical Green New Deal must include The Golden Square: the decommodification and universal provision of Food, Shelter, Healthcare and Education for All. We live in the worst version of a Cyberpunk world that doesn't even offer up androids or flying cars, while we gloat over our miniature technology & its secret surveillance as politicians offer up empty platitudes and technocratic masturbations. As the Social Ecologist, Murray Bookchin, once told us, the enemy isn't us; the enemy is the fossil fuel industry; the enemy lives inside McMansions and billionaire castles made by myths of perpetual market growth, peddled by the celebrity worshiping pyramid scheme of an influencer class clawing onto the old carcass of illegitimate hierarchies. We are in revolutionary times and collective actions require collective designs; so we must continue to draw the contours of what lies just beyond the horizon. We have a planet to win.

This week, as we ponder the words of the "Mad Prophet" Howard Beale of Network fame, we look at Epstein updates and Election news in advance of 2020.  "This tube can make or break presidents, popes or Prime Ministers; this tube is the most awesome god-damned force in the whole godless world! Woe is us if it ever falls into the hands of the wrong people..."  Thus spake Howard Beale, the "Mad Prophet" of the airwaves as depicted in the classic film Network, as he described an entire television generation "that never knew anything that didn't come out of this tube." As we consider Beale's words, we look at some of the latest revelations in the ongoing saga of the strange death of billionaire pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, following the release of a bombshell new candid video of an ABC News anchor discussing how she had not been allowed to break the news about Epstein, his connections to the rich and powerful, and even U.S. Presidents. Then later in the show we turn our attention to the local elections occurring around the country, and what they mean in advance of 2020. Issues range from Beto O'Rourke and his influence on Texas politics, as well as shifts between Democrat and Republican strongholds in various Southern states. We also touch on the controversy surrounding the idea of raising the legal voting age in a general election should be raised to age 16, and also what the impact could be if scary "Deep Fake" videos were to start appearing during this, or any future election. Finally, what are the political reasons behind the recent statement by more than 11,000 scientists who came out in support of the idea of population control? We think it's a slippery slope, but then again, the statement was issued just one day after measures began to enact Donald Trump's plans to withdraw the U.S. from the Paris Climate Accord.

FXFS02EP02_SIDNEY LUMET's NETWORK : Alan Heim, Mark Laub, Michael Jacobi and Jeffrey WolfPLAY PODCAST In 1976, an American satirical film written by Paddy Chayefsky and directed by Sidney Lumet, called Network, about a fictional television network, UBS, and its struggle with poor ratings, starring Faye Dunaway, William Holden, Peter Finch, Robert Duvall and Beatrice Straight was nominated for 12 Academy Awards including best film, best director and best editor. Network, won four Academy Awards, including Oscars for Chayefsky's script, Beatrice Straights' performance as an outraged wife, Faye Dunaway's performance as a cynical programming executive and Peter Finch's frenetic portrayal of Howard Beale, the troubled “mad prophet of the airwaves.” Thirty-five years later, “Network” remains an incendiary if influential film, and its screenplay is still admired as much for its predictive accuracy as for its vehemence and a relentless sense of purpose. Screenwriter Aaron Sorkin, cited Chayefsky when he accepted his Oscar for the screenplay of “The Social Network,” and wrote later that “no predictor of the future — not even Orwell — has ever been as right as Chayefsky was when he wrote ‘Network.' ” Alan Heim, the picture editor of the film, Mark Laub, one from a team of sound editors, Michael Jacobi and Jeffrey Wolf, the first assistant editor and the apprentice editor on the film at the time, tell their stories of how the film came together and what it was like in various stages working with director Sidney Lumet, writer Paddy Chayefsky and Producer Howard Gottfried. Frame By Frame is a podcast series hosted by editor Isabel Sadurni, that introduces you to the most influential, respected and accomplished cinema post-production professionals working in New York today. Through intimate, informal discussions between collaborators about post-production craft, aesthetics, process and technique, we'll recognize and celebrate the iconic films and people that have made New York film history as well as those contemporaries who continue to make important contributions to the art of filmmaking. In conversations anchored by the film editor, we'll share the stories that define New York as an essential ongoing capital of the global film industry. Proudly presented by the Post New York Alliance and the New York Motion Picture Editors Guild. Produced by Isabel Sadurni and Ben Baker.

Welcome to episode #438 of Six Pixels Of Separation - The Twist Image Podcast. There's an infamous line from the 1976 film, Network, in which longtime fictional television news anchor, Howard Beale, screams, "I'm as mad as hell, and I'm not going to take this anymore!" We've (probably) all done this at one point in our professional lives (granted, not the extent of Beale!). Some of us actually meant it, quit our jobs and went off to do other things. For others, we mutter these words beneath our breath or spout them off to family and friends on the weekend, but never really do anything to change our own, professional, situation. In June of this year, longtime marketing agency professional, Uwe Hook, did something about his unhappiness with agency life. After close to twenty years in the business, he quit his job and explained it all rather publicly in a Medium post titled, Why I quit my agency job. Several months later, DigiDay published a piece titled, Why Agency People Are So Unhappy, that  quoted Hook's piece along with other unhappy agency professionals. After reading both pieces, and others on the topic, I invited Uwe to share his thoughts. Ultimately, I don't fully understand these positions. I can empathize with the feelings, but I'm not sure I get why we would tag the industry as such, and to what benefit this serves? We should always strive ti be better and do better work, but I would much prefer the route of doing this in a positive and productive way. Enjoy the conversation...

If you have ever seen the movie Network, then you know where this weeks title came from. If you haven't seen it, thats ok you are in the majority and can be assured that you are not a movie nerd. In this episode Baldo does his best Howard Beale impression when he talks about the upcoming city elections. We also have another update on our burrito competition, which is growing much faster than we anticipated.
