The Hollywood Hack is a three-part narrative series chronicling the biggest Hollywood heist of all time: In the fall of 2014, a group of cyberterrorists hacked Sony Pictures, stealing hundreds of thousands of documents. The materials were eventually leaked online, causing an international incident that would change Hollywood forever.

Do We Get To Win This Time is a reported look at how Hollywood has depicted and defined the Vietnam War, and how those films still resonate today, both culturally and politically. This podcast will chronicle many of the infamous movies that feature the Vietnam War, spanning from films made during the conflict to those produced decades later. Every episode features interviews with key filmmakers, experts, and veterans as Brian grapples with what each of these movies tells us about the most divisive conflict in our country’s history and America’s perception of it.
