This past Sunday, we had John Captain III on the show – for over three years now, he has been campaigning for justice and exposure of the murder of his girlfriend, Tiffany Jenks. Three years on, however, the media is still brushing the facts under the carpet, and justice remains to be served. We want to make it clear in advance: this story will come across as crazy and absurd to many readers; but we urge you to suspend your disbelief and cast aside your doubt, just for a moment, while you read t...

Jay Dyer back at it again, this time joining us on West of The Rockies to talk about his new book, Jay Dyer's Esoteric Hollywood. With so much information packed into the book, we set out to focus on a select few movies, namely, The Shining, Rosemary’s Baby, and Close Encounters of The Third Kind. Of course, this also meant delving into the minds of Stanley Kubrick, Roman Polanski, and Steven Spielberg, the directors of those movies respectively. We also analyse the wider impact and scope of mov...

The Toynbee Tiles first started appearing on the streets back in the early 80’s, initially just in Philadelphia, and then spreading up to New York as well as further out East, even making appearances in South America, specifically in Brazil, Chile, and Argentina. Of course, the questions started building. What were these strange tiles? A student art project gone pandemic? A cult's cryptic calling card? An arcane prophecy? NWO/Illuminati secret messages? What they are, or rather why, remains to b...

Rich knows a thing or two about the paranormal. Having founded the Boyle Heights Paranormal Project back in ’09, he went on to adopt a few caretaking duties at Linda Vista Hospital during its uninhabited years, a time that saw dozens of film productions and music videos crews use the hospital interior as their creepy backdrop. Besides names being called out loud, swirling portals, and mysterious shadow-figures caught on video, the hospital had a lot more to offer; and though it has been converte...

We’ve all heard of PTSD, especially veteran’s PTSD. Most of us have also heard of various “alternative” and complementary health treatments, such as acupuncture, chiropractice, massage, meditation, yoga, homeopathy, reiki and qi gong. Some of us may even be aware of more modern and emerging treatments, such as DNA Theta Healing and Matrix Energetics (both forms of “energy healing”). However, not many have heard of such practices being applied to veterans, especially those severely affected by th...

In June of this year, a new documentary was released by the name of, The God Cells: Fetal Stem Cell Controversy, a movie by investigative journalist and filmmaker, Eric Merola, following the progress of a handful patients undergoing stem cell treatment under Rader’s supervision in Mexico. The film was truly mind-blowing, and definitely presents a strong argument in favour of such treatment for “incurable” diseases. We're certainly not oblivious to the huge amount of negative press concerning ste...

Jay Dyer is a real gem in the world of all things conspiracy Hollywood – his approach to analysis is interesting and fun, whist thorough and mind-expanding. Jay has written on a myriad of topics and movies, but on this show in particular, we focus on Stanley Kubrick’s Eyes Wide Shut; of course, we occasionally drift off-topic, and what’s a Kubrick-themed show without at least some mention of 2001 and The Shining and, of course, the Moon Landing. That Eyes Wide Shut is a strange movie with hidden...

This past week, we had the pleasure of interviewing Dr. Graham St. John, cultural anthropologist and entheogen researcher. His recently-published, Mystery School In Hyperspace: A Cultural History of DMT, is the first of its kind, venturing down a path that had, until now, remained quite untrodden. DMT: a topic that we’ve explored several times on the show, and one that continues to captivate us. An extremely powerful hallucinogen, it’s structurally the simplest of all naturally-occurring psyched...

Robert Murch commenced his quest of research and discovery in the early 90s, having been inspired by the movie Witchboard several years prior; what began as a lonely antique Ouija board, soon developed into a full-blown museum collection, landing him where he is today – that is, with over 500 different talking board types, and several more hundred duplicates and variations to boot (totalling well over a thousand). It's fair to say that Murch is not your usual paranormal fanatic -- he approaches ...

Whitley Strieber is the go-to guy when it comes to all things strange and alien, a household name in the world of the paranormal.

Mr. Strieber gives us a brief overview of his initial encounters with otherworldly entities (typically known as “aliens,” though not the term Strieber prefers to use), first recounted...

We had the pleasure of speaking with, Todd Newman, director of the groundbreaking documentary, Mourning Son. The film saw its debut in December last year, and has caused many a tear and heart to break since. The documentary follows rock-legend, Dave Navarro, alongside his best friend, Todd Newman, on their journey towards finding closure regarding Dave's mother's murder. It's a tumultuous story of love, death, and recovery. We had a blast grilling Mr. Newman on this decade-long project.

First coming forward with her two books on mind control back in 2013, Elisa tells the story of how she endured over 40 years of severe torture and mind-control, eventually slowly breaking free and seeking help. The process of recovery is ongoing and certainly not an easy one; however, Elisa E is, in the truest sense of the word, a survivor. We discuss a whole host of ide...

Patrick also talks about Excess, a multi-faceted event/party organized to coincide with the LA premier, featuring live music, live art (literally), and a whole lot of political incorrectness to boot.
