Mandy and Beyond the Black Rainbow, with Sean McCann

We 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, we discern which countercultural psyops Cosmatos is rejecting and which ones he wholeheartedly embraces. Dark goddess worship, Programmed to Kill style mind control, and dissociative power trips for the powerless make th...

Blade Runner

We talk about Blade Runner, getting into its attack upon the boundaries of the human and its prevalent Illuminati symbolism. Differentiating Philip K. Dick's ill-fated Gnostic impulses from Ridley Scott's overt promotion of the superclass worldview, we contrast the source material and the film, also noting key distinctions between the several cuts of the movie. Blade Runner turns out to be a standard Hollywood sci-fi vehicle for Luciferian transhumanism. https://twitter.com/CinemaPsyop https://w...

Halloween (2018), Halloween Kills, and Halloween Ends, with Geoff Shullenberger

Geoff Shullenberger joins us for an analysis of the recent David Gordon Green Halloween trilogy. He discuses a Girardian reading of Halloween Ends as well the "lab leak theory of Michael Myers." Is the 2018 film correctly read as based and right-wing, or is it more of the same MK-culture fetishization of trauma? Why is Halloween Kills so terrible? And does Halloween Ends present a cringe lib approach to evil or a positive subversion of typical Hollywood incel revenge fantasies? https://outsidert...

Halloween III: Season of the Witch, with Sean McCann

We continue through the Halloween franchise, this time joined by Sean McCann to discuss the strange cult classic Halloween III: Season of the Witch. This unique entry in the series showcases some intense revelation of the method in its combined depiction of technology, witchcraft, and corporate media. We discuss the significance of Samhain and demonic pagan religion in both its ancient and modern forms. https://onegreatworknetwork.com/sean-mccann https://twitter.com/CinemaPsyop https://www.patre...

John Carpenter's Halloween, with the Collins Brothers

We are joined by Paul and Phillip Collins to discuss John Carpenter's Halloween, in the first of three episodes on the Halloween franchise. They explain the apotheosis of Michael Myers, how this archetypal slasher fits into the occult transhumanist project to transcend good and evil and remake humanity. We discuss depictions of evil within Carpenter's work and how the weaponized insanity of Myers relates to demonic clowns and what we have called "the Joker cycle." Invoking the Beyond: The Kantia...

Malick's Origins and The Thin Red Line, with Steven DeLay (Malick 3)

We discuss The Thin Red Line with Steven DeLay, after first going much deeper into Terrence Malick's background. Considering many remarkable and little known facts about Malick's biography, we analyze his relationship to the academia/media/intelligence culture creating complex. We then talk about Malick's late 90s epic war film The Thin Red Line, discussing whether the underlying religious message is essentially Christian or pantheistic and unpacking the significance of the film's notable castin...

Jacob's Ladder (On Debra Gets Red Pilled)

We went on the podcast Debra Gets Red Pilled for a fun conversation about the influential horror film Jacob's Ladder. It's a movie that hits most major Psyop Cinema themes, including religious engineering, trauma-based experimentation, the psychedelia psyop, Gnosticism, and fetishization of dissociation. We talk about the highly suspicious drug experience that led to the writing of this film and discuss the essential place of the Vietnam War within MK-culture. https://twitter.com/DebraGetsPilled...

Sus of Freedom

A look at the multi-layered psyop around Sound of Freedom, the popular recent Jim Caviezel film dealing with child sex trafficking. In contrast with the charged discourse around the film's alleged QAnon themes, we analyze the subtle quality of the Monarch 'dogwhistles' actually present in the film. We discuss those involved in the production and promotion of this movie, clarifying which of these figures are highly suspicious and which seem to be benign. At the center of our investigation is Cavi...

Arlington Road (On William Ramsey Investigates)

Our appearance on William Ramsey's show discussing Arlington Road, a 1999 thriller about domestic terrorism. We show how the film projects the tactics of intelligence services onto the militia movement, resulting in intense misdirection regarding events like Oklahoma City and Ruby Ridge. We also examine the predictably sus credits of the filmmakers, the hints of mind control themes, and the film's overall attempt to undermine social trust and foster the wrong kind of paranoia. https://www.willia...

Fantasia and Monsters Inc, with Jamie Hanshaw

Thomas and Mariana are joined by Jamie Hanshaw for a thorough examination of Disney's sinister history. Jamie takes us through Disney's deep state and occult connections, the life of Walt Disney, and how the parks themselves are a microcosm of the spell cast by the dark magic of imagineering. We then talk about Fantasia's probable function as a direct tool of Monarch programming, similar features in Fantasia 2000, and how Monsters Inc acts as a disturbing revelation of the method. https://www.yo...

Days of Heaven, with Steven DeLay (Malick 2)

Brett is joined by Steven DeLay to discuss Days of Heaven (1978), from Terrence Malick. An ethereal drama set in the Texas Panhandle of the early 20th century, Malick's second film is a romance dealing with tragedy, jealousy, and deception, as well as a philosophically rich commentary on the loss of paradise. Brett and Steven analyze the film's treatment of religion, technology, and utopian dreams. https://twitter.com/StevenDeLay4 https://stevendelay.com/ https://sunypress.edu/Books/L/Life-Above...

Taylor Swift's Mind Control Concerts (On William Ramsey Investigates)

Thomas' appearance from a few weeks ago on William Ramsey Investigates, talking about the suspicious aspects of Taylor Swift. Thomas and William analyze the strange phenomenon of 'Taylor Swift amnesia,' the psychological and spiritual dangers of celebrity-culture, and the overt occult and Monarch symbolism of several Swift videos and live performances. Taylor Swift's recent concerts may represent a phase shift, where mass-scale MKUltra is becoming more intense than ever. https://www.williamramse...

Seven Days in May (On William Ramsey Investigates)

An appearance we did a few months ago on William Ramsey Investigates, discussing Seven Days in May, an early 1960s political thriller about a military coup against the United States president. We analyze the relationship of this film to the Kennedy assassination and consider the complex political dynamics around the killing of JFK and the Kennedy legacy. We also talk about RFK's assassination, RFK Jr.'s candidacy, and the many paths to globalism. https://www.williamramseyinvestigates.com/ https:...

Morbin' Time (Jared Leto 6)

Our Leto series takes us to the infamous 2022 film Morbius. Like Leto's career, Morbius is a highly synthetic product, a strange blend of ideas and images from earlier movies in the superhero genre. We cover the memes mocking the absurdity of the film's existence and discuss how Jared Leto in a superhero-vampire role takes us to the exact occult transhumanist themes one would expect. https://twitter.com/CinemaPsyop https://www.patreon.com/PsyopCinema http://psyop-cinema.com/ https://linktr.ee/ps...

Woke Horror, with Rachel Wilson and Dissident Mama

Thomas is joined by both Rachel Wilson and Rebecca Dillingham (Dissident Mama) for a discussion of the thriving subgenre of woke-themed horror. We take a look at the movies Antebellum and Don't Worry Darling, breaking down the inversion, projection, and misdirection in their depictions of mind control. Rachel and Rebecca also rip apart the factual inaccuracies in Antebellum's portrayal of the 19th century South and the failed propaganda of Don't Worry Darling's portrait of 1950s suburban America...

The Collins Brothers on the Religion of the Beyond and Close Encounters of the Third Kind

We are joined by Paul and Phillip Collins to discuss their book Invoking the Beyond. The Collins brothers' research details how the ideology of techno-utopianism replaces the divine with counterfeits such as AI, superweapons, or extraterrestrial 'gods,' using these surrogates to epistemically overwhelm humanity and push for the creation of a 'New Man.' We get into the historical and philosophical aspects of this elite religion of "the beyond," focusing on the increasingly mainstreamed UFO-psyop....

Badlands, with Steven DeLay (Malick 1)

Brett and Thomas are joined by philosopher Steven DeLay, for the first of an intermittent series we'll be doing with him on the films of Terrence Malick. After giving an overview of Malick, we analyze the Malick movie that most directly interacts with the major topics of Psyop Cinema, his 1973 debut Badlands. We discuss how it treats the themes of social alienation, nihilism and dissociation and consider the possibility that this poetic and eerie lovers-on-the-run crime drama is secretly an MKUl...

Get Out, with Sean McCann

Brett and Thomas are joined by Sean McCann, for a conversation about Jordan Peele's influential 2017 horror film Get Out. They discuss whether the film's depiction of occult secret societies and trauma-based mind control is ultimately helpful or harmful, getting into the relevance of the film's treatment of racism and what all this reveals about the mindset of the predatory superclass. https://onegreatworknetwork.com/sean-mccann https://twitter.com/CinemaPsyop https://www.patreon.com/PsyopCinema...

Creation of the Humanoids, with Ken Ammi

Brett speaks with Ken Ammi about Creation of the Humanoids, a 1962 sci-fi film full of transhumanist themes. They discuss the blend of occultism, evolution, and technology, seen in the film's depiction of humanity becoming interchangeable with machines. Brett and Ken also discuss the film's strange background, the usual mind control tropes, as well as the relevance of Gnostic thought. Thomas adds an addendum to their discussion, analyzing a scene that shows the confluence of feminism and the tra...

The Little Things (Jared Leto 5)

We sift through more serial killer misdirection as we analyze The Little Things, an enigmatic thriller starring Denzel Washington and Jared Leto. All the usual themes of religious engineering and hints of the realities of Programmed to Kill conspiracies are present. Ultimately, this film's odd meta-commentary on the serial killer genre seems to be mostly about Leto's real life pretensions at being a master manipulator. https://twitter.com/CinemaPsyop https://www.patreon.com/PsyopCinema http://ps...

The Thing and Other Carpenter Films, with Geoff Shullenberger and James Ellis

We talk about the struggle against paranoia and inhuman monstrosity in The Thing, Gnostic-Catholic conspiracies and pop-science in Prince of Darkness, the insights and shortcomings of They Live's critique of consumer capitalism, and we disagree about whether there's anything of cinematic and thematic value in Vampires. Overall, we come to a mixed ...

Thomas speaks with Rebecca Dillingham, host of The Dissident Mama Podcast and blog and cofounder of the Ludwell Orthodox Fellowship, about the lies of the Yankee Empire.

Suicide Squad (Jared Leto 4)

Suicide Squad is an especially important entry in our series on Jared Leto, given that his performance as the Joker is the reason we've been taking such a close look at his hyper-sus career. Unsurprisingly, Suicide Squad turns out to be among the most explicitly Monarch mind control themed superhero films of all time. We talk about the deep state/occult matrix, how the 'squad' is set against the family, the strange career of Cara Delevingne, and what all this might have to do with Jack Parsons. ...

An Orthodox Approach to Art and Entertainment, with Jay Dyer and Fr. Deacon Ananias Sorem

A conversation with Jay Dyer and Father Deacon Dr. Ananias Sorem, on how we all think about film, entertainment, and the arts. As we frequently point out instances of destructive messaging and Satanic programming in pop-culture, here we have a broader discussion about the positive and negative aspects and potential of film. We share thoughts about the role of entertainment within an Orthodox lifestyle, the lines we all draw about what kind of art we'll expose ourselves to, and the relevance of e...

Jasun Horsley on Stanley Kubrick and Artificial Intelligence

We talk with Jasun Horsley about his new book, The Kubrickon: The Cult of Kubrick, Attention Capture, & the Inception of AI. Jasun contends that Kubrick was not really making movies at all, but rather scientific experiments designed to capture our awareness and give rise to artificial intelligence. We get into Eyes Wide Shut, The Shining, and other Kubrick films. Other discussion topics include the moon landing question, the demonic nature of celebrity, the mother-bonded psyche, and the rela...

Mr. Nobody (Jared Leto 3)

Next up in our Jared Leto series is Mr. Nobody, a 2009 sci-fi drama that thinks it's far smarter than it is. It fits perfectly within Leto's ultra-sus career, containing apocalypse programming, omega programming, and divine child themes. Using multiverse theory as a tool of psychic fragmentation, Mr. Nobody is MKUltra by way of pop-science and pseudo-philosophy. https://twitter.com/CinemaPsyop https://www.patreon.com/PsyopCinema https://linktr.ee/psyopcinema thomas-psyopcinema@protonmail.com bre...
