Mike and Dan talk with Dave Itzkoff, author of Mad as Hell: The Making of Network and the Fateful Vision of the Angriest Man in Movies. What a movie! What a book! Dave talks about his research, what he learned about Paddy Chayefsky, and how Network predicts our contemporary media landscape. If you're a fan of Network, or of movies at all, this is a must-hear. Many thanks to Dave Itzkoff for coming on the show.
