Nearly 50 years later, Network still feels like it was made for today's media landscape. In this episode of So Many Sequels, we break down the chilling relevance of the 1976 Oscar-winning satire, from Howard Beale's mad prophet act to the rise of infotainment and emotion-driven news.We explore Howard Beale's unforgettable descent, Faye Dunaway's ice-cold performance as the power-hungry network exec, and the film's razor-sharp commentary on corporate control, sensationalized news, and the blurred lines between entertainment and journalism.Have you seen Network?
