  • The Fury, Scanners, and Firestarter (on Jay’s Analysis)

    We joined our friend Jay Dyer on his show for a discussion about three films that deal with trauma-based mind control designed to cultivate psychical powers, particularly in children. Breaking down De Palma’s The Fury, Cronenberg’s Scanners, and Mark L. Lester’s Firestarter, we talk about theta programming, the real history of government-sponsored psychical research, and…

    Jasun Horsley joins us for a conversation about his book Big Mother: The Technological Body of Evil, which analyzes the Satanic techniques that converge upon the human body in the modern world.

  • Ep.69 – To the Wonder, with Steven DeLay (Malick 6)

    Thomas and Steven continue the Terrence Malick series, introducing a discussion of the Weightless Trilogy, which begins with To the Wonder (2012) and constitutes some of the most fully realized Christian cinema ever produced.

  • Ep.68 – First Reformed

    As a sequel to our Taxi Driver episode, we analyze Paul Schrader’s 2017 film First Reformed, an explicit work of religious engineering. We examine how the movie’s sophisticated propaganda depicts the dying remnants of American Protestantism being absorbed into the globalist religion of the future, complete with worship of the earth mother goddess. We also…

  • Ep.67 – Oppenheimer (Nolan 5)

    A return to our series on Christopher Nolan, discussing how Oppenheimer makes explicit the globalist politics implied by the sci-fi transhumanism of some of his previous films. We analyze how the movie  treats standard Nolan themes, such as the master manipulator and the death of the soul (often symbolized by the death of women). Oppenheimer‘s…

  • Ep.66 – Taxi Driver

    In a discussion that much of our longrunning Joker analysis has built to, we do a deep dive into Martin Scorsese’s Taxi Driver (1976). We explain the foundational place of Scorsese’s film in the feedback loop between media and spectacular crime that we call the Joker Cycle. Looking at other relevant films and filmmakers, we…

  • The Bourne Identity, Supremacy, and Ultimatum (on Chant It Down)

    Thomas joins Luemas on Chant It Down Radio, discussing the first three films in the Jason Bourne franchise. Starring the deeply sus Matt Damon, limited hangouts and revelation of the method abound in these movies. Discussing how Hollywood’s political messaging has shifted over the last couple decades, Thomas and Luemas explain how the exceptionally spooked-up…

  • Leave the World Behind (on William Ramsey Investigates)

    We and Sean McCann joined William Ramsey for a discussion about the recent Obama-produced apocalyptic thriller Leave the World Behind. Directed by Sam Esmail, the movie is filled to the brim with globalist propaganda concerning social collapse, ‘disinformation,’ and the need to trust the technocratic elite at all costs. It also includes the usual subtext…

  • Ep.65 – The Tree of Life, with Steven DeLay (Malick 5)

    Thomas and Steven discuss the spiritual and social themes of The Tree of Life, Terrence Malick’s 2011 coming-of-age of drama with a cosmic background. They unpack the narrative’s biblical references to Genesis and Job, and Steven describes the film’s resonances with Augustine, Freud, and Dostoevsky. Analyzing the film’s dichotomy between a motherly “way of grace”…

  • Ep. 64 – Blade Runner 2049

    Continuing the discussion that began with our analysis of Blade Runner, we look at the legacy sequel released in 2017 and directed by Denis Villeneuve. Blade Runner 2049 intensifies the psy-op of the original film, making the Monarch tropes and mind control themes far more obvious. The ever-sus Leto appears as a Elon Musk style…

  • The Albertini Tapes (on Wake the Dead)

    Brett and Steven DeLay appeared recently on Sean McCann’s Wake the Dead podcast to discuss the shockingly detailed accusations of ritual murder, blackmail, and human trafficking made by Richie Albertini, an associate of the Gambino crime family who grew up in the 80s alongside a bevy of future Hollywood A-listers. Albertini was later involved in…

  • Ep.63 – Mandy and Beyond the Black Rainbow, with Sean McCann

    Thomas and Brett are joined by Sean McCann for a discussion of the films of Panos Cosmatos, analyzing Beyond the Black Rainbow‘s MKUltra New Age horror and Mandy‘s dark psychedelic Nic Cage rampage. Getting into his biting commentary on 1960s boomer spirituality and 1980s Reagan conservatism, they discern which countercultural psyops Cosmatos is rejecting and…
