On the inaugural episode of Frost/Christman, Amber and Matt discuss a time in America when rampant paranoia and distrust in government and corporate institutions generated a wave of thrillers about the malevolence of the Powers that Be. With special attention paid to the Alan Pakula duology of ALL THE PRESIDENT'S MEN and THE PARALLAX VIEW, as well as 70s fashions, horny journalists, and weed-dealing movie producers.

This week we talk to journalist Maria Hengeveld about her new piece in Slate covering Nike's supply chain and embrace of the "Girl Effect," which has allowed female Vietnamese workers to lean in without the distraction of a living wage. 

Later, we talk about the dorks on the alt-right and their nemeses, and ours, on the elevator-right, i.e. the pear-shaped Catholic failsons who suffer from chronic public entrapment.
