Dana and Tom are joined by first-time guest, Shane Rogers (Host, Midnight Facts for Insomniacs podcast), to discuss the state of journalism with Broadcast News (1987): directed and written by James L. Brooks, starring Holly Hunter, William Hurt, and Albert Brooks.

Plot Summary: A highly strung and emotional news producer, Jane Craig (Holly Hunter) works for a network news office in Washington D.C. When the network hires a great looking, but intellectually novice reporter, Tom Grunick (William Hurt), she finds herself conflicted between her attraction to him and her revulsion in his being the epitome of everything she hates about TV news--the mindless, unintelligent, pretty anchors of today. At the same time, Jane's friend and reporter, Aaron Altman (Albert Brooks), whose intelligence is only overshadowed by his lack of TV presence, mars the situation with his conflicting feelings for her.
