August 2022 was the 30th anniversary of the release of the award-winning film Unforgiven, directed by & starring Clint Eastwood.

Ep. 0149: War Machine: A DHP Movie Review with Scott Horton

Scott Horton (author of Fool’s Errand: Time to End the War in Afghanistan, host of the Scott Horton Show, and founder of the Libertarian Institute) returns for a third time to the DHP, this time to help CJ do a Dangerous History movie review of the 2017 Netflix film War Machine.

Join CJ & Scott as they discuss:

  • The film War Machine, its connections to (and deviations from) the real history, including Michael Hastings’ book The Operators (on which the film was largely based)
  • Tying some of the themes and issues raised by the movie to larger problems of modern American imperialism in the Middle East, and the partisan political realities that make it so difficult to make progress against the status quo in foreign policy
  • And the ways in which mainstream American entertainment media generally does (and does not) deal with these issues
