Recent days have seen the anniversary of two critical pieces of history. Was it...coincidence? The co-mingling of history and popular culture. On the latest podcast, we'll take a look at how sometimes events and media flow right into another. (And yes, there is a small error in dating; however, let's just remember...timing is everything)
Either download the podcast directly or listen on the sidebar player to learn the answer to teh question: what do these three men have in common? (And please check the show notes for more information and links)

Particularly interesting podcast.
Landsbury was 3 years older than Harvey, and Manchurian Candidate came out in 1962. Oh, and I discovered that the attempt on FDR was in Feb 1933, actually before he was inaugurated.
Manchurian Candidate wasn't exactly banned. It did show up on TV in 1965 a couple times, but then it was a number of years before it showed up again.
Your basic premise about the convergence of pop culture is spot on. I always think about the movie The China Syndrome and TMI
