564: Summer of Snowden
George Clooney, The Monuments Men, Nazi Stolen Art
George Clooney is accused of coordinating the timing of a real-world discovery of 1,500 pieces of Nazi-stolen art with the release of his film, The Monuments Men. The hosts suggest that the film's premiere was pushed from December to February to allow for more "coincidental" news stories about art restitution. They compare this to previous instances where geopolitical events involving North Korea seemed to mirror Hollywood release schedules.
