Mr. Smith Goes to Washington (1939) & Broadcast News (1987)

It's a Ruined Childhoods Two-fer! Dan and Jon celebrate two DC-based classics and imagines how they could be revisited. One is a James Stewart political drama. The other is a Holly Hunter/Albert Brooks/William Hurt journalism dramedy. Both are compelling. Both have been heralded as cinematic greats. Both perfectly represent the District of Columbia on celluloid.
