An electric look at two brilliant yet ideologically-opposed thinkers.
Niche subject but interesting regardless. Some background on the subject would help going in
Doc about rivalry between Vidal (liberal) and Buckley (Conserv) whose debates became political theater. Enjoyed for their views & styles.
An insightful look at two bombastic personalities colliding.
Witness the birth of modern punditry and despair!
A documentary that shows us a time when two intelligent people could talk about their opposing views of politics on TV in a mature way.
Amazing! It’s incredible to see the debate and all thats come together. A class of argumentation.
An illuminating and ultimately depressing movie about the moment US politics was taken over by the values of entertainment
Met the Editor of this Doc. She was nice.
A bit dry for the uninitiated, but very informative on the fusion of entertainment and political news coverage in America.
