#594 - The Good Shepherd: DeNiro's C.I.A. Spy Film - WatchThis W/rickRamos

Robert DeNiro's The Good Shepherd  This week we springboard off of Robert DeNiro's 2006 spy film, The Good Shepherd, profiling the birth of the Central Intelligence Agency and its role throughout the second half of the 20th Century. From its origins during the end of World War II thru The Cold War, The Bay of Pigs, and the early days of the Kennedy administration, DeNiro's passion project is a thought-provoking, detailed, and troubling  examination of U.S. Foreign Policy. Mr. Chavez & I - as is our habit and purpose - use this film to examine our own impressions of the C.I.A., American National & Foreign policy, and the Class System that allows all of it to exist and prosper. From the secretive Yale society, Skull & Bones, that has given us at least two presidents, numerous senators and congressman, and untold CEOs, thru secret and illegal actions designed to topple governments, The Good Shepherd is forcing questions that we are eager to answer. Featuring an all-star cast including: Matt Damon, Angelina Jolie, William Hurt, Michael Gambon, Eddie Redmayne, Keir Dullea, John Turturro, Timothy Hutton, Alec Baldwin, and a briliant Joe Pesci.
