On this episode of Nerd's Talking The Podcast, we delve into the intriguing world of journalism and scandal with our review of the new Netflix film, "Scoop." Directed by Philip Martin, this British biographical drama takes us behind the scenes of one of the most controversial interviews in recent memory. "Scoop" stars an impressive cast including Gillian Anderson, Keeley Hawes, Billie Piper, and Rufus Sewell. The film tells the gripping story of how the women of "Newsnight" secured Prince Andrew's infamous 2019 interview about his friendship with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. The screenplay by Peter Moffat and Geoff Bussetil is adapted from the 2022 book "Scoops: Behind the Scenes of the BBC's Most Shocking Interviews" by former Newsnight editor Sam McAlister. The interview, described as the "scoop of the decade," became the public catalyst for the downfall of Prince Andrew. It focused on Andrew's relationship with Epstein and allegations of sexual assault of a minor. The film provides a dramatic retelling of the negotiation process between the women of "Newsnight" and Buckingham Palace, highlighting the challenges they faced in securing the interview. Described as more than just a car crash but "a plane crashing into an oil tanker, causing a tsunami, triggering a nuclear explosion," the interview had far-reaching implications for the royal family and the British monarchy. Join us as we discuss the performances, the storytelling, and the impact of "Scoop" in this episode of Nerd's Talking The Podcast. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/nerdstalking/support
