Almost Cult Classics

For the Patreon after-show following our episode on Bulworth, Ryan suggested we check out another political satire from the year prior called Wag the Dog. This great comedy stars Robert DeNiro and Dustin Hoffman as a political operative and a film producer who orchestrate a fake war to improve the president's approval rating going into the next election.
