Summary
For almost 100 years, the American Military has funded, controlled, and manipulated Hollywood's image of the Armed Forces. With the release of Captain Marvel, we investigate the disturbingly deep ties between the Pentagon and the biggest blockbusters the world has ever seen. Our government claims it isn't recruitment or rehabilitation propaganda but the facts say otherwise! More than ever, we advise you to strap in tight- it's gonna be a rough and dangerous ride.
Eating For Free is a bi-weekly gossip podcast reporting from the edge of the internet! We're a new wave of celebrity reporters at a time when pop culture is increasingly chaotic and media lacks the ability or moral direction to make sense of this capitalist nightmare!
