I’ve been watching 90s shows lately and even the pro-capitalist 90s stuff is anti-capitalist compared to any major studio stuff made these days.
Many popular movies are absolutely compromised by either Capitalist Ideologues who do it for free (all the comic book movies), or are required to present the US in a favorable light in order to use military assets/locations for filming. This has been the case since before WW2.
I’m kinda interested but not for 20 minutes. So according to a generated summary the takeaway is:
Government agencies have demonstrably cultivated relationships with Hollywood and sometimes influenced portrayals of themselves, which makes it reasonable to examine supposedly apolitical entertainment for institutional messaging.
also people who try to produce content that’s not approved by the CIA end up having unfortunate accidents
