How do you hold onto what's real when everything around you feels artificial? In our next episode on 'Authenticity', we deep dive into one of the most critically-acclaimed satires of all time: NETWORK. Through its novel-esque writing and theatre-like directing, NETWORK is a masterclass at showing how societal decay corrupts our true self, and the wayward journey back towards authenticity. We discuss how this film is godless, but true in its chilling relevancy for us today. Derrick also shares about his journey as a writer and how that factors into NETWORK.
