    To the Wonder, with Steven DeLay (Malick 6)

    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. We talk about Malick's Kierkegaardian inspiration and analyze the film's depiction of romance, family, and the search for God.

    First Reformed

    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 talk about apocalypse programming, provide further background on Schrader, and discuss some recent disturbing comments that he's made.

    Oppenheimer (Nolan 5)

    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 depiction of the Promethean salesman of science gives us further confirmation of Nolan's significance as a cultural engineer.

    Taxi Driver

    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 speculate on the possible role of Brian de Palma in the Taxi Driver psy-op, discuss Peter Bogdanovich's Targets (1968) as an early entry into the feedback loop, and explain the over-the-top revelation of the method in The Last Horror Film (1982). Breaking down Taxi Driver, we talk about the manufactured profile of the lone wolf spectacular criminal, Travis Bickle as proto-incel, and how the movie is a paradigmatic example of MK-culture reality/fiction breakdown.

    CORRECTION: The Terror was released in 1963 rather than 1968.

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

    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 filmmakers behind this franchise blend sincere critique of CIA wrongdoing with disturbing fetishization of mind control.

    Leave the World Behind (on William Ramsey Investigates)

    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 concerning the virtues of dissociative pop-culture mind control.
