Episode 11: good night, and good luck. (2005) - Movie Review, Analysis, and Deconstruction

Episode 11: good night, and good luck. (2005) - Movie Review, Analysis, and Deconstruction
good night, and good luck. (2005) - Movie Review and AnalysisAaron and Steve discuss the 2005 film “good night, and good luck.” During the Red Scare of the 1950’s, fear in America was rampant over who could be harboring Communist sympathies. Senator Joe McCarthy of Wisconsin exploited this fear in a power grab masquerading as a Senate investigative committee who would routinely accuse people of being a Communist, while denying them proper due process. When these tactics reached a breaking point, it was up to Edward R. Murrow (David Straitharm) and his crew at the CBS’ See It Now news show, to stand up to the Senator, and shed light on his unethical and un-American tactics. Raise your hand if you really care about Joe and Shirley’s story?Where the hell was Jeff Daniel’s character the ENTIRE movie? What were Liberace’s views on marriage?  These questions and more on this week’s Cinema Decon.Version 2 of this audio uploaded on October 30th fixing Steve's cut-off audio.Top 60 Podcasts to Discover in Sept 2021Visit our website to see The List: www.cinemadecon.comNew Podcast to check out, Music Rewind: https://bit.ly/musicrewind Companion Blog: https://cinemadecon.wixsite.com/cinemadeconblog Cut-In-Line Movie Request: https://tinyurl.com/9y94peww Support With Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/cinemadecon Please leave an Apple Podcast Review to help the showTheme Song: Rock Till Dawn by The Caffeine Creek BandA Podcast from the Sidereal Media Group
