episode 48: copaganda, a critical deconstructing of police in media

josh and aly tackle the subject of police propaganda (copaganda) in the media we consume, and how it is ubiquitous in films, shows, books, and comics we consume. you will be surprised at how almost every narrative that have cops in it are pro cop. 

also they talk a lot about will smith? it turns out he plays a cop most of his movies…. kinda weird tbh.
