This week’s episode of the Gimme Three Podcast, Producer Sonja Mereu and co-host Nicholas Ybarra celebrate the life and career of the late, great, and seminal figure in American cinema, Robert Redford.

In particular, we discuss three of Redford’s most politically-charged films.

• We start with the classic, pulse-pounding journalistic thriller All The President’s Men. Robert Redford and Dustin Hoffman portray Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein in this unforgettable masterpiece.
• Second, Michael Ritchie directs the hyper-realistic satire The Candidate, in which Redford plays a gorgeous, idealistic figure thrust into the political machine.
• Third, Barbra Streisand and Robert Redford play lovers on two different sides of the political spectrum in this powerful and heart-wrenching love story, The Way We Were.

Let us know what you think of these films and what your favorite Robert Redford film is.
