Next month, we're *finally* doing a pod about the BEST MEDIA MOVIES.
There are a lot of them, even if we start with All the President's Men. I'll put some nominees in this thread. Please add recommendations and Siskel-and-Ebert thumb votes. -BC

Hello media consumers: We'll have a new pod up after the Super Bowl with our reactions to Nantz and Romo, the commercials, and whether the old guy has still got it.
