“I’ll meet you at the place near the thing where we went that time.” Yes, 1987’s Broadcast News had quite a script, and quite a cast led by Holly Hunter, William Hurt and Albert Brooks. A lopsided love triangle, the three leads mismanaged emotions, insecurities, careers, and work timelines throughout the James L. Brooks hit. Nominated for seven Oscars, the movie skewered both modern love and ethics in media. But now, decades later, does it all feel like yesterday’s news? Is a male “dumb blonde” as offensive as a female one? And are either of these two guys good enough for Hunter’s Jane? The Old Roommates give the rom-com a revisit through their middle-aged lens. Pop on some Nicaraguan boots and join them.
