NH #548: Nuclear Hollywood! Secret Government Film Studio Exposed!

Nuclear Hollywood Revealed!  Lookout Mountain Laboratories was the secret film studio dedicated to filming raw footage of nuclear weapons tests and editing them into propaganda films.  New book (cover picture above) reveals the full history.

This Week’s Featured Interview:

• We talk at length with Kevin Hamilton and Ned O’Gorman, authors of LOOKOUT AMERICA!  The Secret Hollywood Studio at the Heart of the Cold War.   Learn about the U.S. Government’s secret Hollywood studio that filmed nuclear above ground blasts and turned them into pro-nuke propaganda; and cranked out other images and films the government used to use to manipulate nuclear consent during the coldest of the Cold War.  It’s a whole new take on understanding how we’ve been deceived into believing what we believe about nukes.
