Chris Paul and Burning Bright dive deep into the 1970 epic Patton, exploring the layers of propaganda, myth-making, and narrative warfare woven through one of the most iconic war films in American cinema.

Chris Paul and Burning Bright dive deep into the 1970 epic Patton, exploring the layers of propaganda, myth-making, and narrative warfare woven through one of the most iconic war films in American cinema. From George C. Scott’s unforgettable portrayal of the larger-than-life general to the subversive undertones of spectacle and staged heroism, the hosts examine whether Patton was a real warrior or a crafted psyop, and why the answer might be both.
They break down how Patton blurs the line between soldier and symbol, drawing uncanny parallels to modern figures like Donald Trump and Elon Musk, and questioning the nature of heroism in a world driven by narrative manipulation. Along the way, they discuss reincarnation, globalist agenda-setting, the use of wartime theater to shape public consciousness, and the neocon rebranding of American power post-WWII.
With incisive commentary, philosophical insights, and a healthy dose of historical revisionism, Chris and BB show how Patton serves not just as a portrait of a man, but as a mirror for a regime willing to write its own legend at any cost. A must-listen for anyone who wants to understand the true nature of war, propaganda, and power.
