Dan and Mike are mad as hell that more people aren't talking about Network, Sidney Lumet's 1976 masterpiece. In their discussion of a film so perfect and prophetic, the guys discuss how we all live in the world that Network creates on our screens and that Howard Beale describes and decries. As Mike says, if you get the jokes of Network, you're acknowledging that all is lost. Dan tries a new method for selecting his favorite moment and Mike compares Howard Beale to the prophet Jeremiah. Our troubles run even deeper than TV, the internet, or social media. So throw open your window, lean out, and yell, "I'm a film fanatic and I'm not going to take it any more!"
