Poperation!

It was 20 years ago this week that Hollywood started seeing the future in a little movie called Wag The Dog. After being caught in a scandal, the president does not have much of a chance of being re-elected. A Hollywood producer is hired to manufacture a war that the president can heroically end. Eric and Stacey take a deep dive into a movie that eerily mirrors today's political climate: political sex scandals, fake news and controlling the narrative to create a distraction in a wonderfully written script by Hilary Henkin and David Mamet. If you haven't seen this movie, or even if you have, we recommend you see it again after listening to this podcast.
