It's hard to think anyone could argue against the cast of this DENNIS THE MENACE adaptation. It's not just Matthau, Thompson, and Christopher Lloyd doing solid work, but also Mason Gamble as Dennis, holding his own against them. And it's directed by Nick Castle, the original Michael Myers? We can all agree it's an artifact of interest at least. But is it a good movie too, or does it only work if you let nostalgia for the 90s (and perhaps your own childhood) overwhelm you?TIMELINE00:01:26 Only been around for five years00:02:27 Real Talk00:49:59 The Future & Patreon Stuff- Interested in more Contrarians goodness?

Às vésperas de uma eleição, o presidente dos Estados Unidos (Michael Belson) é pego em um escândalo sexual que ameaça sua reeleição. Para desviar a atenção da mídia e do público, seu assessor Conrad Brean (Robert De Niro) tem uma ideia genial — ou melhor, absurda: contratar um produtor de Hollywood, Stanley Motss (Dustin Hoffman), para inventar uma guerra fictícia na Albânia.Com a ajuda da assessora Winifred Ames (Anne Heche) e de um elenco improvável que inclui um cantor country (Willie Nelson) e até um soldado “herói” interpretado por Woody Harrelson, eles criam uma narrativa épica que conquista corações e manchetes. O resultado? Uma sátira hilária sobre manipulação midiática, poder político e o quanto o público pode acreditar em uma boa história — mesmo que seja totalmente inventada.“Mera Coincidência” (1997), dirigido por Barry Levinson e estrelado por Dustin Hoffman e Robert De Niro, é uma comédia política afiada e divertida que mostra como Hollywood pode fabricar uma guerra inteira para salvar a reputação de um presidente em apuros.PIX: canalfilmesegames@gmail.comSiga o Filmes e Games:Instagram: filmesegames Facebook: filmesegames Twitter: filmesegamesSpotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/5KfJKthPodcast: https://anchor.fm/fgcastIntro - 0:00WogDogs - 5:01O que é "Mera Coincidência"? - 6:03Notas dos agregadores - 8:41Tirando o bode da sala - 11:36Cenas e Bastidores - 22:31Premiações - 38:21Bilheteria - 39:44Notas do Filmes e Games - 42:22Momento Locadora - 49:02Revelação do FGcast #423 - 1:34:29

Welcome back! This week, we look at another timely, underrated film, Wag the Dog. It's directed by Barry Levinson (Rain Man) and co-written by David Mamet (Glengarry Glen Ross). The cast is also prime, with Robert DeNiro and Dustin Hoffman leading a large ensemble. The film is a late 90s political satire, in which the US president stages a fake war to avoid a massive sexual scandal. Sound familiar? Maybe a little too familiar?

A president faking a war to distract from a political scandal?? WHAT??? We're doing a new See Also this week, related to some of the recent movies we've discussed. The 57th highest-grossing movie of 1997 and the 46th highest-grossing of 1998. Released limited on Christmas Day 1997 and wide on January 4th 1998 where it finished 4th behind Titanic, Good Will Hunting, and As Good As It Gets, it went on to gross 64 million dollars on a 15 million dollar budget Directed by Baltimore Barry Levinson and written by Hilary Henkin and David Mamet, and starring Robert De Niro, Dustin Hoffman, Anne Heche, Denis Leary, Woody Harrelson, Willie Nelson, Kirsten Dunst, Andrea Martin, John Michael Higgins, Suzanne Cryer, Hollywood's most famous Albanian Jim Belushi, and William H. Macy, Wag the Dog found itself on several year-end Best Of lists. It is certified fresh on RT with a score of 86 and a strong Metacritic score of 74. It was nominated for 2 Golden Globes – Best Picture Comedy, Best Actor Hoffman, and Best Adapted Screenplay for Henkin and Mamet, along with 2 Oscars -one, for Hoffman and the other for screenplay. Does it hold up? Spoiler alert: Yes.

“This is nothing. This is nothing. Why does the dog wag its tail? Because a dog is smarter than its tail.” Join Ian & Liam for our 325th episode as we step into the spin rooms, sound stages, and manufactured realities of Barry Levinson's razor-sharp political satire Wag the Dog (1997). Megs isn't with us this week — she's been hired to produce a last-minute war in Albania (tight turnaround, great exposure). Kev? He's currently composing a patriotic anthem that may or may not exist by the time you hear this. This week we discuss: Dustin Hoffman's Stanley Motss — flamboyant, obsessive, and desperate for credit. Is this one of the great comedic performances of the '90s? Robert De Niro's Conrad Brean — calm, calculated, and morally untethered. Is he the real power in the film… or just the most efficient? The central satire — media manipulation, political theatre, and the terrifying ease of creating “truth.” We share many stories of what it means to guide an actor, when you should back off, and what do we do when we simply 'can't find the character' ourselves Ian breaks down the film's narrative precision — lean, fast, and ruthlessly efficient storytelling. Liam explores the film's relevance — does Wag the Dog feel prophetic, outdated, or uncomfortably current? The machinery of deception — producers, actors, composers. Who actually “makes” reality in this world? The escalation of the lie — how small fabrications spiral into full-scale belief. The “show vs tell” balance — is the film too clever for its own good, or exactly as sharp as it needs to be? Which character were we both all-out on? What does it mean for something to be satirical and at what point does that present itself in the film? Is it harder to get on board with the conceit of the film in 2026 compared to 1997 and why? Ian shares everything he knows about Albania and where he learned it from The ending — dark punchline, inevitable consequence, or the ultimate statement on power? The moral centre (or lack of one) — does the film care about truth, or just the performance of it? And finally, whether Wag the Dog is the Best Film Ever — or one of the most incisive political satires ever made. Become a Patron of this podcast and support the BFE at https://www.patreon.com/BFE

In dieser Folge von Psychologen beim Frühstück sprechen wir über eine Fähigkeit, die in unserer Zeit immer wichtiger wird: Klarheit. Inspiriert von Gedanken des Historikers Yuval Noah Harari fragen wir uns: Warum verlieren wir heute so schnell die Aufmerksamkeit, wenn Sprache unklar ist? Wir gehen der Frage nach, warum viele Menschen zwar viel reden, aber wenig sagen – und was das mit unserem Denken zu tun hat. Denn oft ist es nicht die Sprache, die verschwommen ist, sondern unsere Gedanken selbst. Anhand konkreter Beispiele aus Beziehung und Beruf zeigen wir, wie Klarheit entsteht: durch Verantwortung im Satz, durch präzise Formulierungen und durch den Mut, die Dinge wirklich zu Ende zu denken. Eine Folge über den Unterschied zwischen „man sagt“ und „ich meine“ – und darüber, warum klare Gedanken der Schlüssel zu echter Verbindung sind. Wir wünschen Euch wunderschöne Ostertage mit vielen klaren Gedanken und leckerem Essen. Bis zur nächsten Woche, Annika + Tilly

Erica discusses the necessity of maintaining strict business boundaries and professional billing standards. She explains her refusal to waive the requirement for a credit card on file, arguing that shifting away from a "pay later" model prevents her company from becoming a debt collection agency. Krooppin specifically addresses the friction that arises when other small business owners attempt to dictate her operations or criticize her pricing structures. By utilizing management software like Jobber, she emphasizes that automated systems and prepaid services are essential for scaling a professional brand. Ultimately, she encourages service providers to prioritize ideal customers who value quality over low costs to ensure long-term business sustainability.

Barry Levinson's Wag the Dog  Nothing's Changed/Nothing's New and we learned that in 1996 with Barry Levinson's Wag the Dog. As important 30 years later as when it was released, this week Mr. Chavez & I sit down to understand a film that predicted its own time (being released a few weeks before The Bill Clinton/Monica Lewinsky White House Scandal would break), but is also a simpler and almost quaint version of Epstein, Donald Trump, and Ol' Billy Jeff returning to relevance. A Sex Scandal covered up by a Manufactured War, revealing the spin doctoring and propaganda that fuels every election, Wag the Dog is the rare film that grows bolder and more prescient as years pass and facts fight to be discovered. Featuring great performances from Robert DeNiro, Dustin Hoffman (hilarious, exaggerated, and on point), and a supporting cast including Anne Heche, Willie Nelson, Denis Leary, William H. Macy, and a ridiculously unhinged Woody Harrelson, Wag the Dog has volumes to say about our government, The White House, political parties, and the lying, cheating bastards that run the machine.

At the end of 1997, Kevin Costner's second film as director - The Postman - made its way into cinemas, at the end of a difficult year for Warner Bros. The $80m, three hour movie would be savaged by critics, and fail to find an audience - but there was quite the story behind the film, before and after. There's quite a story too to Wag The Dog, a movie that could fit into the schedules when a far more expensive project was hit by a delay. And the political satire that followed made headlines for unexpected reasons within months of its release. Stories of both are told in this episode... Learn more about your ad choices.

The two discuss Victor's recent Substack article, in which he discusses whether Trump's war on Iran is being used as a distraction away from the Epstein files and the ongoing corruption proceedings against Israeli President, Benjamin Netanyahu.Steven also poses the question of whether Trump really understands his base, or even cares about them, after many top political allies and independent media commentators now feel betrayed after previously supporting his anti-war rhetoric.

In this episode, we tackle questions of power, trust, and narrative control across politics, technology, and culture.We start with Jesse Jackson and a conversation about his legacy, political boycotts, and who ultimately benefited from those movements. From there, we break down The Save America Act, focusing on accountability, election integrity, and the idea of trust paired with verification.Next, we turn to Ring cameras and artificial intelligence, discussing what surveillance technology really means for the average person and where reasonable concern begins. We also touch on global developments, including fuel shortages and unrest in Cuba, leadership competence on the world stage, and rising tensions surrounding Iran's nuclear ambitions.We close with a standalone movie review and retrospective of Wag the Dog, examining how manufactured narratives in media and politics feel increasingly relevant today.This is a wide-ranging, long-form discussion that connects past events with present realities and asks uncomfortable but necessary questions.

The Venezuela operation has been marketed as a flawless military achievement, and from a purely tactical standpoint, that assessment may be fair. The operators involved are unquestionably elite, and the United States retains unmatched capacity for precision action. The problem is not military competence but credibility. This administration has a long record of half-truths, selective framing, and narrative manipulation, which makes any official explanation suspect by default. The timing of the operation—coinciding with renewed pressure and exposure surrounding the Epstein scandal—raises unavoidable questions about motive. History shows that foreign spectacle is often deployed when domestic scandals threaten powerful interests, and the Epstein network represents exactly that kind of threat. In that context, skepticism is not conspiratorial; it is rational.The justification for targeting Venezuela collapses further when examined through the lens of drug enforcement. Venezuela is not a primary producer of fentanyl and plays only a secondary role as a transit point in broader cocaine trafficking networks. The real drivers of the opioid crisis are Mexican cartels like CJNG and the Chapitos, while cocaine production overwhelmingly originates in Colombia. Selectively framing Venezuela as the central villain exposes the operation as politically convenient rather than strategically honest. Meanwhile, the core causes of America's drug crisis—addiction, mental health, economic despair, and lack of treatment infrastructure—remain chronically underfunded and ignored. The result is a flashy distraction that creates headlines without solving problems, buying time for elites while accountability is delayed once again. In short, the operation may look impressive, but its premise does not hold up under scrutiny—and that dog does not hunt.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

Recent news almost completely echoes the plot of the 1991 film "Wag The Dog". Sex scandal...start stupid "war" to change the subject. Forget the "drug war" in Venezuela or Trump's riff on Somalia. He's a master of distraction and the Epstein Files are STILL out there. We catch up on the FIFA Peace Prize winner and why Sylvester Stallone doesn't mind getting an award from a Fascist. That's keeping it classy, Sly...

Wag the Dog tells the story of a scandal-ridden president whose chief spin doctor, Conrad Brean (De Niro), decides to distract the public with a fictional war with Albania. To pull this off, he hires Stanley Motss (Hoffman), a prominent Hollywood producer who throws himself into orchestrating an imaginary war, complete with fake footage, fake war heroes and a popular theme song. The hoax is successful, but it soon comes with a host of complications which require Brean and Motss to take quick action to further deceive the public. In their conversation, Jamelle and John discuss the cynicism, shallowness and laziness of Levinson and Mamet's depiction of Washington politics, as well as a few real-life examples of manufactured wars, and why most Hollywood political satire just doesn't work.The tagline for Wag the Dog was “A comedy about truth, justice and other special effects.”You can find Wag the Dog to rent or buy on Apple TV and Amazon Prime.Episodes come out every two weeks so stay-tuned for our upcoming episode on Murder at 1600.And don't forget our Patreon, where we cover the political thrillers of the Cold War and we offer weekly political commentary.

A few years after his coup, the opposition against Gustav III was growing. In an attempt to improve his popularity–and to reclaim some of the land lost in the War of the Hats–he decided to start a war against Russia. Unfortunately for the king, he wasn't allowed to start wars, but Gustav wasn't going to let minor details like that stop him.

Some key elements of the United States military are assembling in force off Venezuela. Is this a real operation or a distraction? A "wag the dog?" Dr. Janice Stein starts with that on her regular Monday conversation on The Bridge.

What's the old saying...if a war is declared, but no guns are fired, was it a real war? That concept will be explored in our next entry in This Means War as we dive deep in to the 1997 hit Wag the Dog which hits a little different in 2025.

Tonight's Triple Feature is a director spotlight on Barry Levinson, a filmmaker whose career is as quietly influential as it is stylistically fluid. We're looking at three of his most potent and thematically rich films: Good Morning, Vietnam (1987), Sleepers (1996), and Wag the Dog (1997). While these movies differ wildly in tone—ranging from manic comedy to grim drama to razor-sharp political satire—they're united by something deeper: a fascination with storytelling as both a tool of survival and a weapon of manipulation.To understand how these films fit together—and what they say about Levinson himself—we need to start with the man behind the camera.Who Is Barry Levinson?Barry Levinson emerged from the 1980s auteur boom with a distinctly humanistic voice. A Baltimore native, Levinson first made his mark as a screenwriter, penning ...And Justice for All (1979) and Diner (1982), the latter of which marked his directorial debut. He quickly carved out a niche making intelligent, character-driven dramas with sharp dialogue and a blend of humor and melancholy.You might call him an American moralist—but a flexible one. His best films don't preach; they interrogate. Levinson doesn't arrive at the story with a hammer and message—he arrives with a question. What is the cost of truth? What happens when institutions fail? What stories do we tell to protect ourselves… or to control others?This puts him in a rare category: a commercial filmmaker who consistently tackles uncomfortable ideas, often smuggled into crowd-pleasing packages.The Aesthetic: Naturalism Meets Narrative ControlVisually, Levinson isn't flashy. He doesn't announce himself with whip-pans or long takes. Instead, his aesthetic is clean, restrained, and deceptively simple—he clears space for character and performance. He's a director who understands the power of a well-cast actor and a lived-in setting.But beneath the grounded surface, Levinson is obsessed with the structure and function of narrative. His films constantly interrogate who gets to tell the story, why they're telling it, and what the consequences are. That meta-awareness—about media, perception, and memory—is central to tonight's triple feature.Good Morning, Vietnam (1987): Humor as SubversionGood Morning, Vietnam is perhaps Levinson's most accessible film, largely thanks to Robin Williams' explosive, genre-defying performance as real-life military radio DJ Adrian Cronauer. On the surface, it's a war comedy—a zany, rapid-fire laugh-fest set against the backdrop of Vietnam. But dig deeper, and it's a biting exploration of truth, censorship, and the psychological cost of telling jokes in a world on fire.Levinson lets Williams run wild, yes—but he also carefully frames Cronauer as a man whose humor is both a coping mechanism and a form of protest. The military brass wants control over the narrative. Cronauer wants to tell the truth, or at least laugh at the lie. And that tension—between comedy and tragedy, propaganda and rebellion—makes the film more than just a showcase for improv. It becomes a study of how humor can be a form of defiance in the face of institutional rot.This is Levinson at his most charming, but also his most subversive. He knows a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down—and he laces the sugar with acid.Sleepers (1996): Trauma, Brotherhood, and Justice Outside the SystemNearly a decade later, Levinson delivered Sleepers, a completely different animal. Based on Lorenzo Carcaterra's controversial novel (whose “based on a true story” claim remains disputed), Sleepers is a dark, operatic tale of childhood abuse and adult revenge. The humor of Vietnam is gone. In its place: Catholic guilt, corrupted institutions, and the brutal costs of unresolved trauma.If Good Morning, Vietnam was about resisting propaganda, Sleepers is about rewriting it. The second half of the film becomes an elaborate lie—a staged trial, manufactured witnesses, rigged outcomes—all orchestrated not to deceive the audience, but to achieve justice the legal system refuses to provide.Levinson doesn't ask us to condone this. He asks us to understand it. What happens when the people we trust—priests, guards, judges—become the abusers? And what happens when no one will hold them accountable?This is Levinson's angriest film, and his most emotionally direct. It's also deeply personal. Set in Hell's Kitchen in the 1960s, it's saturated with nostalgia—until that nostalgia curdles. It's the American coming-of-age story turned into a horror film.And once again, we're dealing with a narrator—Jason Patric's character—telling us the story long after the fact. But can we trust him? Should we?Levinson doesn't answer. He just holds the camera steady.Wag the Dog (1997): Manufacturing Reality in Real TimeIf Sleepers is a courtroom drama told through shadows and memory, Wag the Dog is a satire of the same mechanisms—but weaponized in real time. Released just weeks before the Clinton-Lewinsky scandal broke, this film is practically prophetic.A spin doctor (Robert De Niro) and a Hollywood producer (Dustin Hoffman) fabricate a fake war to distract from a presidential sex scandal. It's absurd. It's hilarious. And it feels… inevitable.This is Levinson in full meta mode, stripping the illusion of politics down to its skeleton. But while the premise is cynical, the filmmaking is precise and controlled. The performances are pitch-perfect. The script, by David Mamet and Hilary Henkin, is lean and lethal. And the message is terrifying:If the story is good enough, the facts don't matter.Wag the Dog completes the arc that began with Vietnam. In that film, the media truth-teller is punished. In Wag the Dog, the media manipulator is rewarded. Humor, once a weapon of rebellion, has become a tool of control. The satirical bite here is so sharp it draws blood.What These Films Say About LevinsonTaken together, these three films show a director fascinated by the moral weight of storytelling. Levinson keeps returning to the same idea: that narrative is power. Whether it's used to comfort soldiers, avenge childhood trauma, or distract a nation, stories shape the way we see the world—and they're always being weaponized by someone.He's not flashy. He's not dogmatic. But Barry Levinson understands something fundamental: that the line between truth and fiction is thin, fragile, and often chosen for us by people we'll never meet.And that's what makes him one of the most essential—and underrated—American filmmakers of the last 40 years.Disclaimer: The following may contain offensive language, adult humor, and/or content that some viewers may find offensive – The views and opinions expressed by any one speaker does not explicitly or necessarily reflect or represent those of Mark Radulich or W2M Network.Mark Radulich and his wacky podcast on all the things:https://linktr.ee/markkind76alsohttps://www.teepublic.com/user/radulich-in-broadcasting-networkFB Messenger: Mark Radulich LCSWTiktok: @markradulichtwitter: @MarkRadulichInstagram: markkind76RIBN Album Playlist: https://suno.com/playlist/91d704c9-d1ea-45a0-9ffe-5069497bad59

Emilio, Madeline, and Julian continue their "Politics" episode cycle with a "Mise-Unseen" entry on Barry Levinson's 1997 film "Wag the Dog," and are joined to do so by special guest Idris Goodwin - a playwright, educator, fellow cinephile, and significant role model from Emilio's Chicago upbringing. The group get into the movie by discussing its place in the canon of mid-budget 90s studio films, as well as in the greater careers of its heavy-hitting stars, Robert De Niro and Dustin Hoffman. Looking more broadly, they also consider the category of satire that "Wag the Dog" falls into, and of course its famously prescient view on the handling of political scandals, and eerily good timing in doing so.  Idris Goodwin is currently the Artistic Director at the Seattle Children's Theatre, and Board President of TYAUSA, a member organization committed to live theater in the lives of children everywhere.  You can follow him and find his plays, music, published works, and varied artistic endeavors at http://www.idrisgoodwin.com/If you enjoy our podcast, please rate and review us on your podcast platform of choice.  This really helps us find new listeners and grow!Follow us on IG and TikTok: @sleeplesscinematicpodSend us an email at sleeplesscinematicpod@gmail.comOn Letterboxd?

Today, we explore the uncanny parallels between the film Wag the Dog and the current political climate. Along the way, we discuss how the term 'playing politics' often fosters unnecessary people-pleasing. We also dive into the fading presence of cultural rites of passage, share thoughts on aging with grace, and highlight our favorite headline of the week: 'Women Who Don't Wear Makeup Are Psychopaths.' We always suspected Kinzie might be one, but we never considered her makeup-free face as the cause! Finally, we dissect some unsettling lyrics from surprisingly well-known songs that are a bit too recent for comfort. ~Enjoy the Journey~ IG - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@adamriehlhealing⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ FB - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠facebook.com/adamriehlhealing⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ FB - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠facebook.com/robin.grether.1⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ IG - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@itzyourweirdaunt⁠

9 October 2023 12PM EST - This morning, Joe discusses the situation in Israel. He discusses how the United States has been heavily involved in the conflict from the beginning, and has ultimately coordinated the chaos/war. Joe points to our stolen elections and the people's stolen voice as one of the main reasons why this coordinated war has continued, how our elected officials profit off these wars, make these terrorist groups, and arm and finance all sides. Stolen elections is not a victimless crime, our judiciary system, electoral system, our government has been stolen from the American people, it's time to take it back.  Follow us on Social Media: https://libertylinks.io/ConservativeDaily https://libertylinks.io/JoeOltmann https://libertylinks.io/Apollo 10-9-23 - FAXBLAST -  Israel & Hamas Conflict - Do NOT Instigate a World War:  https://conservative-daily.com/war/opinion-israel-and-hamas-conflict-do-not-coordinate-a-world-war
