Are You Mad at Me? A Shattered Glass Podcast
Why You Should Watch Shattered Glass!
Chances are you aren't a journalist, and chances are even better that unlike the hosts of this podcast, you weren't a journalist in the Shattered Glass era—a time when alternative print media was being destroyed by online classified ads and folded into the templates of a few "alternative" media conglomerates—the predatory vulture capitalists of their day. We still think you'll love this movie as much as we do, and we're here to tell you why!
And if you still don't believe us by the end of this episode, just listen to the words of New York Times movie critic A.O. Scott, who called Shattered Glass both a "serious, well-observed examination of the practice of journalism" and "an astute and surprisingly gripping drama not only about the ethics of magazine writing, but also, more generally, about the subtle political and psychological dynamics of modern office culture."
Quotes: "He somehow managed to slip his tongue down my throat."
"I'm not going anywhere with you."
"You know what could have prevented all this? Pictures."
