Ep. 27 "Network" (1976)

Projector Season 1 Episode 26

Uninspire by the end of summer spook fests at the cinema, Ebba and Macon dived into the classics. This time they take a look back at the Academy Award-winning, insanely prescient and oddly pretentious, "Network" from 1976. It is the story of how a middle-aged news anchor's mental breakdown becomes a cash cow for his broadcaster as rants against the world as it is. And as bad as it might have seemed then it might be even worse today.
