Andrew HarrisonHOST
We should also talk a little bit about the Burnham Trump meeting.
Andrew HarrisonHOST
Burnham Trump being, of course, the Frost Nixon of our time.
Andrew HarrisonHOST
How did that go? I mean, Andy Burnham, we talk about this in some detail on today's edition of Oh God, What Now? as well as the disinformation stuff.
Andrew HarrisonHOST
But Burnham really looked nervous.
James GillHOST
If any of these get cut, it's because we bottled it.
James GillHOST
But I've heard a few David Frost stories because Michael Sheen played Frost in Frost Nixon.
James GillHOST
And I just think these stories are wonderful.
James GillHOST
And one of them is, when I said, I said something like, what an honour and privilege for the people of Kennington.
James GillHOST
So she was living in Hollywood and then came back for maybe like a press junket or something over here.
James GillHOST
I know he's based over here now, but this would have been a few years ago.
James GillHOST
And this was after Frost Nixon.
James GillHOST
And he walks past Frost in a hotel, I think, and they have a chat.
Abigoliah SchamaunHOST
Oh, yeah.
Tom SalinskyHOST
Frost Nixon.
Tom SalinskyHOST
Yes.
Tom SalinskyHOST
Yes.
Mark DolanGUEST
And I need, because, you know, you've got me in a corner now.
Mark DolanGUEST
This feels a little bit like Frost Nixon, I can't lie.
Mark DolanGUEST
Yeah.
Mark DolanGUEST
It's day three and I'm sweating.
Dustan BellHOST
In 1977, the British journalist and broadcaster David Frost interviewed the disgraced US President Richard Nixon following the Watergate scandal.
Dustan BellHOST
And the interview was actually produced as a movie in 2008 called Frost-Nixon.
Dustan BellHOST
What had happened, some of us were born many years after that, and others of us remember it like it was yesterday, but what took place is that President Nixon, while he was in office, had obstructed justice, had organized for hush money to be paid, had misused federal agencies to harass and spy on political enemies and reporters.
Dustan BellHOST
Thank God that doesn't happen anymore.
Mimi Von SchackHOST
only do Frank Langella as Ronald Reagan or as Nixon.
Mimi Von SchackHOST
That's my Ronald Reagan is Frank Langella as Nixon and Frost Nixon.
Mimi Von SchackHOST
Oh,
Dean LoreyGUEST
well, that's what happened.
Ben AngellGUEST
So if you want to do that, why don't you just make a fantasy film or make it made up? And, and I also do think that historical authenticity, trying to stay true to history, is a good in itself.
Ben AngellGUEST
Like, when I have watched a historical film, and I love, I love historical films, I do have to admit, that just directly represent historical events, Frost/Nixon and, um, Thirteen Days about the Cuban Missile Crisis, and then I'll, afterwards I'll go online, and I'll look up the real history behind it, and it's wonderful to, to see that brought to life, and I think something is richer if it's closer to history.
Ben AngellGUEST
But my main thing is I prefer the term authenticity to accuracy.
Ben AngellGUEST
I like to create something that, that feels right.
Buddy PeaceGUEST
Yeah.
Buddy PeaceGUEST
And he did Frost Nixon.
Buddy PeaceGUEST
Yeah.
Scroobius PipHOST
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Kerry JacksonHOST
He received four Tony Awards for his acting on Broadway.
Kerry JacksonHOST
Langella's notable film roles were parts in Diary of a Mad Housewife, Mel Brooks' The Twelve Chairs, Dracula, Dave, and he played the lying President Richard Nixon in Frost Nixon.
Kerry JacksonHOST
His secret society movie is called The Ninth Gate.
Kerry JacksonHOST
I think that was Johnny Depp.
Sarah MurphyHOST
Oh, did
Ben HebertHOST
he? No, did he not get an Oscar nomination for Frost Nixon? Am I crazy? No, but he had won a lot of other awards and things like that.
Ben HebertHOST
Really? Okay, pause while I look up.
Sarah MurphyHOST
That's okay.
Ben HebertHOST
Okay.
Sarah MurphyHOST
Do you want to apologize to the listener for being
Ben HebertHOST
wrong? Listener, I'm sorry for thinking that Michael Sheen was nominated for Best Supporting Actor for his role as Frost in Frost Nixon.
Ben HebertHOST
Maybe I just believed so much that he deserved it that I sort of that turned into my head of him actually being.
