Podcast: Play in new window | Download | Embed
With their new Netflix original series, "Daredevil," the Marvel Entertainment juggernaut of recent years looks set to grow even bigger. But given that Marvel is now owned by Disney, and given the long history of comic books being used for propaganda, and given the documented ties between Marvel and the Pentagon, what kind of cultural conditioning is this series subjecting us to? Are we facing a tide of "propaganda of violence," and, if so, how should we react to it? Join us in this month's Film, Literature and the New World Order for an exploration of these issues with James Evan Pilato of MediaMonarchy.com
