Media Montage Podcast 71: NIck Fury Agent of SHIELD (1998)

Agents of SHIELD Season 2 will be premiering soon so Larry and Bruce travel back in time to visit the first live action SHIELD movie, 1998’s Nick Fury Agent of SHIELD starring none other than the Hoff! 

David Hasselhoff and Lisa Rinna star in this made for TV movie that served as a failed pilot for a potential series.  High camp, a questionable plot by the villains, and cigars that get chewed as much as the scenery. 

This all leads to a discussion about the evolution of Marvel’s live action from the 70s to today in Episode 71 of the Media Montage Podcast!

Media Montage Podcast 70: Operation Paperclip - Nazis in America

World War II ended and all the Nazis were brought to justice in the Nuremberg trials, following the war. Or were they? History is full of examples of escaped Nazis being captured long after the war was over.

What about the ones that were brought to America? By the Americans?

This week Bruce and Larry look at Operation: Paperclip and some of its cousins. US Intelligence operations that brought former Nazi scientists, and others, to work IN and FOR the US during the Cold War. We talk about characters like Werner Von Braun, Reinhard Gehlen and other Nazis who became key figures in post-war American history.

How and why did this happen, and how did the actions in the past affect the world of today? Find out in Episode 70 of the Media Montage Podcast!
