In tonight's Classic episode, Ben and Matt return to a continual fascination: Eisenhower warned the public about the rise of the military-industrial complex back in his 1961 farewell address, and over the decades the public has become increasingly aware of the potential for corruption in the close relationship between the military and the private defense industry. But have you heard of the military-entertainment complex? It's the reason you see the US military in so many action films, and the reason Uncle Sam bankrolls video games. In this episode, the guys dive into the surprisingly close links between Hollywood and the Pentagon, exploring just how this relationship evolved -- and why it continues in the modern day.<a href="https://static.macmillan.com/static/fib/stuff-you-should-read/" rel="payment">They don't want you to read our book.: https://static.macmillan.com/static/fib/stuff-you-should-read/</a>See <a href="https://omnystudio.com/listener">omnystudio.com/listener</a> for privacy information.
