Broadcast News (1987)

Don‘t You Want Me?

Jan 25 2024 • 1 hr 3 mins

Welcome to 'Don't You Want Me?' - a podcast series taking a lighthearted look at the most relatable, intriguing and dysfunctional relationships in film.

Today we’re anchoring the news with 1987’s James L. Brooks romantic comedy drama Broadcast News. Holly Hunter must negotiate a dubious situationship with William Hurt alongside an agenda-heavy friendship with Albert Brooks, all in a highly stressful work environment steeped in perspiration and shoulder pads. Joining us today to dig into this love triangle is somewhat of an expert in journalism and broadcasting, it’s writer, editor and podcaster John Brewin.
