We’ve got something special for November 4th: Our interview with Jared Wiener, one of the founders of a news app called Forth. Now, beyond the rhyming and homophones, this was an episode we wanted to drop just before the election, and we hope you enjoy hearing some fun stories meeting presidents, Jared’s purpose behind starting Forth., and how the age of social media continues to change the way people get their news.

After the interview, Madison and Tristan discuss what they did on Halloween, and some of the movies and TV they’ve been watching lately.

We hope you enjoy today’s episode, please check out the links to Forth. below in our show notes, and get out and vote, stay in and vote, just vote!

We’re back on our Watchalong series about ‘Militainment’, and this week Madison and Tristan are looking at the first two examples, Iron Man (2008), Captain America: The First Avenger (2011), Captain Marvel (2019).

This week’s theme is a simple but strong one throughout so many Marvel films: Power 101.

Now, you can pause and save this episode as a download if you want to go watch the movies first, or you can catch them after our conversation and see the film through a different lens.

If you’d like to stream today’s movies, use the links below or rent the movies on your favorite VOD service.

As a reminder, we’re looking critically at propaganda, Militainment, and the influence that movies subliminally and blatantly have on us as viewers. That doesn’t mean they’re bad movies (we love every movie on the list), but it does mean we need to understand the biases and beliefs that can be fostered through the powerful mediums of film, television, song, spoken, and written word.

We hope you enjoy today’s episode, and below you’ll find our list of movies and where to watch each one. Be sure to comment and answer our questions in the poll on Spotify, and DM us on Instagram (@theindiemagandpod) with what you think of our episodes, and our series.

And while we're at it, we're glad you've given our series a listen! Be sure to share today's episode, and this series, with anyone interested in film, TV, propaganda, and how interests influence the creation of the media we consume.

Our Watchalong series on ‘Militainment’ continues as we return to the pre-and-post-9/11 era of propaganda. With Michael Bay’s Pearl Harbor (2001) & Ridley Scott’s Black Hawk Down (2002), one key elements of Militainment stands above the rest: This sh*t will kill you.
