Episode 112: Wag the Dog
About this episode
This episode discusses the 1997 film 'Wag the Dog', a dark comedy about a fabricated war to distract from a political scandal.
Wag the Dog is a 1997 dark comedy/political satire about a POTUS accused of sexual misconduct shortly before voting day. To bury the scandal, a fake war with Albania is invented. A White House aide (Anne Heche), political fixer (Robert DeNiro), and Hollywood producer (Dustin Hoffman) work together to pull off a phony conflict to distract the American public. And, of course, it works. ⚠️ Spoilers ahead. **** My award-winning biography of Dag is available on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Dec...
