The film "Olympus Has Fallen" is used as an example of how major news networks promote movies through timely political narratives. Matt Lauer's interview with actor Gerard Butler is highlighted, where Lauer jokes about the movie's publicity department arranging real-world North Korean nuclear threats. The segment explores the financial connections between Millennium Pictures, producer Avi Lerner, and larger media conglomerates like Viacom.

The film Olympus Has Fallen is analyzed as a propaganda tool that mirrors real-world tensions with North Korea. Producer Avi Lerner and Millennium Pictures are identified as key players, with the hosts noting Lerner's history as a film distributor in Israel and his financial ties to Viacom and Blockbuster. Matt Lauer's interview with Gerard Butler is used to illustrate how movie publicity departments coordinate with news cycles.

The hosts speculate that the repeated mention of "Austin" in North Korean propaganda is a code word rather than a literal target. They explore potential links to the Boeing 787 Dreamliner (matching Austin's 787 area code) and the possibility of a staged EMP or "boom" event to justify new security technology. The movie "Olympus Has Fallen" is cited as part of the cultural conditioning for such an event.

The hosts discuss the movie "Olympus Has Fallen" and its depiction of North Korean terrorists. They highlight an interview where Matt Lauer asks actor Gerard Butler if the North Korean government's recent real-world threats were a publicity stunt for the film. The hosts suggest the timing of geopolitical tensions often aligns suspiciously with Hollywood releases.

Two upcoming films, "White House Down" and "Olympus Has Fallen," both depict attacks on the White House. The hosts question the purpose of these high-budget movies featuring stars like Morgan Freeman and Jamie Foxx. They suggest the films may be a message to President Obama from the "complex" that he is a replaceable stooge.

The hosts open the program from Las Vegas and Southern California, noting the press coverage of the Consumer Electronics Show (CES). One host describes an Olympus press kit designed to look like a miniature camera, which is actually a USB thumb drive. Observations are made regarding the lack of visible street solicitation in Las Vegas compared to previous years and the declining quality of local taco stands.

The broadcast concludes as one host prepares for a photography tour of Lisbon using an Olympus 520 camera. Travel logistics for a return flight through London's Heathrow or Gatwick airports are discussed. The hosts address listener feedback regarding the "depressing" nature of the show's outro music before signing off for the week.
