Liquid Dreams (Monarch 9), with Sean McCann

On this special main feed episode of the Monarch series, Brett is joined by Sean McCann of the Wake the Dead podcast to analyze the cyberpunk erotic thriller Liquid Dreams (1991), a nearly forgotten midnight movie about a gnostic adrenochrome sex cult deploying DARPA-level MK mind control tech through the entertainment industry.

Highway (Jared Leto 2)

Continuing our series on Jared Leto, we cover the 2002 film Highway, showing how it leverages 90s nihilism into the all-out pornographization of culture in the 2000s. We analyze the rock star archetype, why it's at the center of Leto’s career, and the clumsy cultural engineering agenda driving it. Finally, Brett proves that Kurt Cobain didn’t kill himself. https://twitter.com/CinemaPsyop https://www.patreon.com/PsyopCinema https://linktr.ee/psyopcinema thomas-psyopcinema@protonmail.com brett-psy...

The Da Vinci Code and Dan Brown, with Geoff Shullenberger

Geoff Shullenberger returns to Psyop Cinema, this time discussing the novels of Dan Brown and their trilogy of film adaptations (the subject of Geoff's recent essay for American Affairs). He and Thomas talk about the strange prescience of Brown's novels, in his early work's treatment of the deep state, surveillance, and encryption and his later work's promotion of transhumanism and depopulation.

A Scanner Darkly (On William Ramsey Investigates)

We return to William Ramsey Investigates, to discuss A Scanner Darkly, the Richard Linklater adaptation of the Philip K. Dick novel. This bleak film gives us the chance to talk about the drug war psyop, how surveillance and intelligence culture erode identity, and some reservations about Linklater's work. As for PKD, unlike many other major figures from the worlds of counterculture and sci-fi, we find him to be more tragic than malevolent. https://www.williamramseyinvestigates.com/ https://twitt...

Former Atomwaffen Member Speaks Out About Satanic Infiltration

Thomas speaks with Theodore, a former member of the Atomwaffen Division, an infamous neo-Nazi paramilitary organization. Theodore describes how AWD's ideology underwent a dramatic shift, with the group's National Socialist extremism being supplanted by an even more sinister and perverse anti-human Satanism, associated with the Tempel ov Blood, a nexion of the Order of Nine Angles. We go into the details of how this shift took place, including the troubling role of FBI informant Joshua Sutter. Th...

Last Night in Soho (Monarch 4) and Anya Taylor-Joy

An unlocked episode of Brett's Monarch series, with some new commentary from Thomas on the strange career of Anya Taylor-Joy.

Thirty Seconds to Mars (Jared Leto 1)

We survey the highly suspicious career of Jared Leto, focusing on his role as frontman of Thirty Seconds to Mars. Having played both the Joker and Mark David Chapman, the cascade of unnerving details about Leto comes as no surprise. We talk about his odd upbringing, how he turned his fans into a literal cult, his Laurel Canyon home, his strange use of symbols, and many other giveaways that Leto's career is an obvious product of cultural engineering. https://twitter.com/CinemaPsyop https://www.pa...

The Cabin in the Woods, The Guest, and John Dies at the End (Psy-Optober 2021 Unlocked)

A Psyop Cinema Halloween special, combining three of Thomas' Patreon bonus episodes from last year. 2021's Psy-Optober bonus series analyzed The Cabin in the Woods, The Guest, and John Dies at the End. The Cabin in the Woods provides a near perfect metaphor for cultural engineering while also seeking to trap its audience inside a nefarious false binary of either total control or annihilation. The Guest functions as a cautionary tale about super-soldier experimentation. John Dies at the End conta...

Conspiracy Theory (On William Ramsey Investigates)

We return to William Ramsey Investigates to discuss Conspiracy Theory, the 1997 film directed by Richard Donner and starring Mel Gibson. We describe how Conspiracy Theory is filled with limited hangouts, misdirection, second matrix programming, and other disinfo tactics. It's also closely related to research we've done in our Joker series on Mark David Chapman, John Hinckley Jr., and related subjects. https://twitter.com/CinemaPsyop https://www.patreon.com/PsyopCinema https://linktr.ee/psyopcine...

Chapter 27 (Joker 6)

Chapter 27 (Joker 5)

We turn to Chapter 27, a 2007 film about the murder of John Lennon, in which Mark David Chapman is played by Jared Leto. We read the film as a Satanic ritual, which uses tactics including facts disorientingly blended with lies, fetishizing the traumatized mind of the brainwashing victim, and synchronicity as mind-control trigger. And all of this connects back to the figures and concepts we're tracking in our ongoing Joker series. https://twitter.com/CinemaPsyop https://www.patreon.com/PsyopCinem...

Stargate, Moonfall, The Thirteenth Floor, and Anonymous, with Geoff Shullenberger

Geoff Shullenberger returns to Psyop Cinema, continuing his conversation with Thomas about Roland Emmerich. Having previously covered the depopulation themes of Emmerich's disaster trilogy, Geoff and Thomas first consider the unabashed elitism and glorification of the manipulative artist found in Anonymous, before looking at how Stargate, The Thirteenth Floor, and Moonfall portray gnosticism, AI, ancient astronaut theory, and the simulation hypothesis. Emmerich's filmmaking quality may be uneven...

Rachel Wilson on the Feminist Religion of the Future and The Stepford Wives

Rachel Wilson returns to Psyop Cinema, this time explaining how the disturbing career of Britney Spears is connected to most major conspiracy theories, how feminism lays the groundwork for cultural engineering, what AOC gets wrong about patriarchy, and the destructive messaging of The Stepford Wives (1975). Brett and Thomas add some thoughts about how the unfortunate 2004 version makes the theme of matriarchal-technocracy explicit. https://rwilson.substack.com/ https://twitter.com/Rach4Patriarch...

Cryptocratic Propaganda (Joker 4)

We offer concluding thoughts on The Batman, cross-referencing it with Joker and other cultural material to unveil its many allusions to deep politics and our cryptocratic regime.

Under the Silver Lake, with William Ramsey

We are joined by William Ramsey for a discussion of Under the Silver Lake, one of the most significant conspiracy-themed movies of recent years. We unpack the film's dense symbolism, separating out its genuine insights into the manufactured nature of culture from its intentional misdirection, which would keep its characters and audience forever trapped within that same culture. This dreamy labyrinthine mystery proves to be a sophisticated cinematic psyop that can neither be trusted nor easily di...

Geoff Shullenberger on the Limits of the Red Pill and Independence Day, The Day After Tomorrow, and 2012

Thomas talks with Geoff Shullenberger, managing editor of Compact Magazine and host of the Outsider Theory podcast. They discuss how the regime benefits from over-simplified understandings of the red and blue pills as well as from certain blends of conspiracy theory with pop-spirituality. Roland Emmerich's "disaster trilogy" (Independence Day, The Day After Tomorrow, and 2012) is also discussed, revealed as blatant propaganda for depopulation and globalist technocracy. https://outsidertheory.com...

Batman vs Conspiracy Theorists (Joker 3)

We discuss the significance of Joker's ending and its depiction of the absolute breakdown of social foundations. Then we move on to The Batman, a painful waste of three hours dedicated to the idea that in order to truly be a hero, Batman must help AOC fight a domestic war on terror against incel conspiracy theorists. The Batman may be a terrible movie but it's replete with odd details that caught our attention. https://twitter.com/CinemaPsyop https://www.patreon.com/PsyopCinema https://linktr.ee...

Thinking about Taxi Driver leads us to consider the importance of the Phoenix Program for understanding our ongoing national trauma. We also talk about the inherent dangers of both comedy and method acting and how all of this relates to demon summoning and human sacrifice. http...

The Dark Self (Joker 1)

With this episode, we begin our Joker series, analyzing movies and themes related to the 2019 film. Directed by Todd Phillips and starring Joaquin Phoenix, Joker turns out to be a kind of master key for Psyop Cinema themes. We think about the history of the character, delve into Scorsese's The King of Comedy, and consider how the Joker's madness figures into the agenda of the global elite. Initially, this was simply going to be a bonus episode about the 2022 film The Batman, which we planned to ...
