‘The Funky Academic’ discusses alleged vetting of Hollywood films by DoD

The host of the YouTube channel “The Funky Academic” joined Hill.TV’s “Rising” on Wednesday to talk about the relationship between Hollywood and the Pentagon.

Irami Osei-Frimpong told co-hosts Saagar Enjeti and Krystal Ball about the Pentagon’s requests for changes to movies, saying it can lead to a kind of censorship. 

“I need to know that maybe Hollywood maybe wants to use all of the U.S. Military’s goodies, to have like, a very high quality production, so they will send their script to the Department of Defense liaison for entertainment to get it approved,” he says.
