How Oil Propaganda Sneaks Into TV Shows | Climate Town

There’s nothing quite as satisfying as watching a fictional character obliterate some poor soul with a monologue so sharp it could split atoms. Whether it’s Matt Damon roasting an Ivy League trust fund kid or Eminem fact-checking his battle rap opponent into oblivion—when the words land, they land hard.

But what happens when the takedown isn’t just devastating—it’s dangerously wrong?

Enter Landman, a show featuring Billy Bob Thornton serving up some real chef’s kiss nonsense about wind turbines and renewables. The monologue went viral, people took it seriously, and suddenly, misinformation about clean energy is getting passed around like a joint at a college party.

Luckily, Climate Town is here to fact-check the hell out of it. Join Rollie Williams as he dismantles the myths, dissects the propaganda, and takes us on a deep dive into how these narratives get baked into our culture.

If you’ve ever wanted to see fossil fuel PR get the Good Will Hunting treatment—"You dropped 150 grand on an education you could’ve gotten for free at the library!"—this one’s for you.
