Tanner ’88

ComedyFilm & TelevisionProcedurals
  • Season 1, Episode 3 “Night of the Twinkies” [April 12, 1988]

Director Robert Altman did this 10-episode cynical satire of the Presidential primary process, going from New Hampshire to the convention in the run-up to the Bush-Dukakis election. This scene shows the boredom and blasé attitude of the press corps, and features Altman’s signature overlapping dialogue.
