Weaponized Media, Military Involvement, and Metaphysical Acting
Greg Carlwood and Jason Horsley discuss the weaponization of film through military cooperation and the framing of institutional "good guys" in disaster movies. They draw a historical line from ancient Greek theater, where actors channeled gods, to modern digital content that functions as a metaphysical tool for mass influence. Horsley suggests the focus of this weaponization is shifting from Southern California's Hollywood to Northern California's Silicon Valley.
