Mini-Transmission: Body of Lies (2008) – “Cut the Bullshit, Give Me the Information”

Leonardo DiCaprio side-sips a beer. Landen sprays beer out his nose. Somehow, that’s still more memorable than anything in Body of Lies.

This Mini-Transmission spirals from forgettable marketing into prop comedy, actor auditions, and the least effective interrogation techniques ever recorded.

• Why Body of Lies has one of the most boring posters and marketing campaigns imaginable

• Truman and Landen’s beer-soaked reenactment of Leo’s bizarre drinking habits

• A live-read audition of “Cut the bullshit, give me the information. What do you know?” (with escalating chaos)

• The Trailer Game: what the marketing promised vs. what the trailer actually delivered

• The Next Movie Reveal: June 8, 2018, with a clue — “No guns, no cops, no killing the other patients.”
