Badass. This may be my favorite video-audio mashup ever — and not just because it sets the greatest of all journalism movies, All the President’s Men, to one of the most common background tracks of my college years, the Beastie Boys’ “Sabotage.” It also just nails the cuts and transitions. Beautifully done.

The man who made it, Jeff Yorkes, has done a bunch of other mashups: The Dark Side of the Moon meets The Wiz, Dustin Hoffman meets Phish (?), Planes, Trains & Automobiles meets The Beatles, Jesus Christ Superstar meets the original Superman, et cetera.

That's awesome! I just saw that movie for the first time last week. I was so sad when it ended; I wanted to watch Robert Redford and Dustin Hoffman talk on the phone and take notes for another few hours.
