Shownotes
Think the world of movie espionage is pure fiction? Think again. We explore the real-world history of how the Central Intelligence Agency heavily influenced Hollywood classics, pulling back the veil on the "reel vs. real" dynamics of global intelligence.
Then, a massive internal war broke out in the office of Senator John Fetterman. Following a damning Wall Street Journal investigation exposing leaked text messages, a group of former staffers launched a social media campaign threatening to drop even more damaging material. We unpack the text messages, Fetterman's sharp pushback labeling them "disgruntled smears," and what this mutiny means for his career.
