Send us a textEp 125 of Truth Unrestricted is about the film Wag The Dog and how its ideas intersect with unreal ideas about our world. Also, for a few minutes near the end, I decided to name and shame famous actors who wouldn't be good enough to be crisis actors. Fun stuff.

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

Welcome to Part II! This week, Nick, Anthony, and Taylor recommend some American history-themed movies for Thanksgiving: We kick off the festivities with a trip to D.C. in Wag the Dog (1997). Robert De Niro plays a Washington spin doctor who enlists the help of an eccentric movie producer (Dustin Hoffman) to create a fictional war in order to distract Americans from a presidential scandal. Then in 1971 students at Stanford University are selected to participate in a psychology study that goes terribly wrong. This true story is told in the independent film The Stanford Prison Experiment (2015). Finally, The Reluctant Dragon (1941) is a truly odd curio found on Disney+. This scripted documentary provides viewers with a behind the scenes look at how Disney animation was created in the 1940s. Listen in for more on these movies and several bonus recommendations! __________ Taylor Zaccario…Host, Director, Producer, Writer Nick Zaccario…Host, Director, Producer, Editor Anthony Graziani…Correspondent Megan Zaccario…Holiday Trilogy Announcer
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.

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
In this episode Ant considers why the movie Wag The Dog was so ahead of its time in terms of predicting the current media generated post-truth world, and the type of absurd lies that we witnessed during the recent Covid-19 pandemic. He explains what is meant by the idiom 'wag the dog' and how this dimension of the movie is revealed at various points during the plot line. Ant also focuses upon how the fake war is produced and what the dialogue says about the main characters involved.
This morning we discuss the blessing of being the head and not the tail, and we describe, based on Rabbi Yisroel Salanter, how a leader can be a head and a tail, but a proper leader should be a head and not a tail. This is not a comment in relation to any candidate anywhere (which I do not discuss publicly), but the issue of proper Torah leadership. My title is borrowed from a great movie, again without referring to any candidate.

Welcome to “Pop Break Goes to Washington” where host Allison Lips is joined by a special guest to discuss the historical significance and impact of a political film. Allison and her guests discuss how politics is portrayed in each film. While this podcast focuses on the American political system, it does make a few forays outside of the United States. For our fifth episode, Allison and Tyler McCarthy from the Not Couple Goals Podcast discuss Wag the Dog and how it has aged. Tyler McCarthy has also guested on Socially Distanced and Batman By The Numbers podcasts. When he's not recording for the Pop-Break, Tyler is an entertainment journalist and critic for various NBCUniversal brands and formerly specialized in writing about the intersection of politics and entertainment. As for Wag the Dog, unless you are in politics, the film got lost in the shuffle of the 1997 box office. In a year where Titanic, a movie starring Mr. Bean, and Men in Black were the top grossing movies, it was easy to overlook this dark political satire. Join Allison and Tyler as they discuss this Dustin Hoffman and Robert Dinero film's prescience and why historical events after Wag the Dog's release has made us see the film in a different light.

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.
