Pennebaker's lionizing character study 'The War Room', chronicling the efforts of Bill Clinton's campaign advisors, George Stephanopoulos and \"Ragin' Cajun\" James Carville. It's a hagiographic text owed a great deal of blame for the faux-proletarianization of democratic politics in the 90s.\r\n\r\nNext, we cover the underseen, revelatory 'SPIN' by Brian Springer. It's a revealing look behind the scenes of 1992s biggest news items through the use of raw satellite footage that shows the multitude of ways the media surreptitiously flattens, omits, and outright fabricates the news to sell us the status quo.\r\n\r\nFollow Grimm on Twitter.\r\n\r\nCheck out SPIN, available for free on YouTube.\r\n\r\nGet access to all of our premium episodes and bonus content by becoming a Hit Factory Patron for just $5/month.\r\n.\r\n.\r\n.\r\n.\r\nOur theme song is \"Mirror\" by Chris Fish","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/w3xxeT7j6QImFQd9WPi27NuU4F6pBtgBGrXYp2WG5-k/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9zaG93/LzEyMTczLzE2MTMz/NTY5NjEtYXJ0d29y/ay5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
