In this eye-opening episode, we delve deep into the entanglement between the government and Hollywood, exploring how the CIA and Pentagon control narratives in mainstream media. We discuss "Theaters of War," a compelling documentary that reveals the hidden influence of military organizations on the films we consume. Learn about the astounding involvement of these agencies in popular movies and TV shows, from action blockbusters to reality TV and even children's programming. Our hosts highlight the implications of this collaboration on public perception, focusing on recruitment and propaganda to sustain the military-industrial complex.
We also reflect on the critical role of libraries in promoting literacy and preserving history, emphasizing the importance of free resources amidst a media landscape saturated with controlled messaging.
