491: Pope and Change
Ben Affleck, Huma Abedin and Eastern Congo Initiative
The credits for "Argo" feature "special thanks" to Huma Abedin and Whitney Williams, former aides to Hillary Clinton. Williams co-founded the Eastern Congo Initiative with Ben Affleck, suggesting deep ties between the film's production and the State Department. The hosts argue that Hollywood is being used for "cultural creationism" to rewrite history, similar to the films "Lincoln" and "Zero Dark Thirty."
