>...the Pentagon’s influence in Hulk, Transformers, Avatar and even Meet the Parents will surprise many. As for television, Cupcake Wars, Oprah and America’s Got Talent may not seem like apt targets for propaganda, but all have allegedly been influenced by either the Department of Defense or the CIA, according to Secker and Alford. The authors released the Department of Defense’s Hollywood database of collaborations, along with the book to show how far the assistance goes. While many of the film entries are benign, the database provides an insight into the influence waged, as well as the DOD’s amusing summaries of plots.
>References to “guinea pigs dying from radiation” was also omitted because it referred to real covert experiments on humans, the authors explain in a Medium post.
>Meet the Parents saw CIA censorship in the scene where Ben Stiller’s character discovers his father-in-law’s secret room. An initial script originally saw Stiller discover torture manuals.
