In this month’s subscriber podcast I talk about the Pentagon’s database on their collaboration with Hollywood – what it is, how I got it and what it contains. I highlight some of the more provocative and politically relevant entries and provide details on how the Pentagon rewrote elements of films such as Forrest Gump and Heartbreak Ridge. You can listen to a preview of the podcast or become a subscriber on Patreon to get the whole episode.
