Psyop Cinema

Our long-awaited analysis of Joker: Folie à Deux, a film so sadistic that even mainstream critics noted its contempt for its audience. In one of the ultimate exercises in Hollywood hypocrisy, the movie seeks to reinforce the psy-op of the 2019 film while simultaneously morally condemning the audience for falling for that psy-op. We analyze the movie's demonological subtext and discuss how Folie à Deux is interestingly distinct from both standard Joker Cycle films and from overt Hollywood goddess worship. The Joker Cycle - https://im1776.com/prints/issue-3/the-joker-cycle/If you enjoy Psyop Cinema, check out Cultural Engineering Studies magazine - https://decoding-culture.com/product/cultural-engineering-studies-issue-1-print/  https://twitter.com/CinemaPsyophttps://www.patreon.com/PsyopCinemahttp://psyop-cinema.com/https://linktr.ee/psyopcinemathomas-psyopcinema@protonmail.combrett-psyopcinema@protonmail.com  

Brett and Thomas are joined by Sean McCann and Dr. Hans Utter for a deep dive into Angel Heart, a mystery horror movie released in 1987, directed by Alan Parker and starring Mickey Rourke and Robert De Niro. Set in New Orleans in 1955, the film is a Faustian tale about the disappearance of a singer named Johnny Favorite, giving us the chance to consider the occult origins of the modern music industry at length. A Satanic film about Satanic pacts, Angel Heart is filled with revelation of the method designed to disorient and destabilize its audience and contains abundant subtext about how the MK-entertainment industry creates IMSAs (Illuminati Mind Slave Artists). We also speak extensively about the nexus of voodoo, the occult, and modern styles of music.https://onegreatworknetwork.com/sean-mccannhttps://x.com/SeanWakeTheDead Eyes Wide Open Hans Utter Investigateshttps://x.com/EWOhansutter https://hansutter.com/ https://twitter.com/CinemaPsyophttps://www.patreon.com/PsyopCinemahttp://psyop-cinema.com/https://linktr.ee/psyopcinema thomas-psyopcinema@protonmail.combrett-psyopcinema@protonmail.comhttps://decoding-culture.com/magazine-home/ 

Returning from our unofficial hiatus, we continue our series on Oliver Stone. The early 1980s saw the release of a few films written by Stone that centered upon violent antiheroes. We talk about John Milius and his clash of visions with Stone over the approach to mysticism in 1982's Conan the Barbarian. Next, Scarface and The Year of the Dragon both unsuccessfully grasp toward Stone's political turn, while the much higher quality Salvador (1986) is the movie that truly brings Stone into his own as a filmmaker. Analyzing the insights and limitations of Salvador's critique of the CIA, we consider how its protagonist (journalist Richard Boyle, played by James Woods) reflects Stone's evolving approach to masculinity and to the legacy of the counterculture.   https://twitter.com/CinemaPsyophttps://www.patreon.com/PsyopCinemahttp://psyop-cinema.com/https://linktr.ee/psyopcinemathomas-psyopcinema@protonmail.combrett-psyopcinema@protonmail.com  If you enjoy Psyop Cinema, check out Cultural Engineering Studies magazine - https://decoding-culture.com/product/cultural-engineering-studies-issue-1-print/ CORRECTION: Tony's boss in Scarface was played by Robert Loggia, rather than Frank Langella

The first episode in an extended series about Oliver Stone. Despite Stone being known for political films that deal with recent American history, his first two directorial efforts are surprisingly strange horror movies. Our discussion of Seizure and The Hand takes us directly into analysis of Hollywood occult ideology about the power of the imagination. We also note how his screenplay for The Midnight Express provides a glimpse into the kind of social critique that characterizes much of his later work. While Stone displays insights and a sincerity that separate him from overtly manipulative directors like Nolan and Fincher, we note that his filmography contains several unsettling ambiguities and that his early career suggests some interactions with intelligence services. https://twitter.com/CinemaPsyophttps://www.patreon.com/PsyopCinemahttp://psyop-cinema.com/https://linktr.ee/psyopcinemathomas-psyopcinema@protonmail.combrett-psyopcinema@protonmail.com  CORRECTION: Jasun has informed us that he has not recommended the film 8 Million Ways to Die and does not share Brett's enjoyment of it

Sean McCann, a podcast host known for his deep dives into Stanley Kubrick's work and occult symbolism, reveals his groundbreaking Fidelio Experiment. He discusses the hidden layers in Kubrick's films, particularly 'Eyes Wide Shut,' uncovering themes of trauma and manipulation. The conversation explores Kubrick's connections to the deep state and Hollywood's powerful circles, as well as the eerie links to the Third Reich. McCann's insights challenge listeners to reconsider the complexity of Kubrick's narratives and the darker undercurrents in his cinematic masterpieces.

The concluding episode of our series with Steven DeLay on the films of Terrence Malick. Thomas gives a speculative explanation for why Voyage of Time (2016) was so unwatchably bad. We have an extended discussion about the beautiful depiction of Christian martyrdom in Malick's 2019 film A Hidden Life, which portrays the life of Franz Jägerstätter, a conscientious objector under the Nazi regime. Brett (rejoining the Malick series for the first time since the initial three episodes) gives his opinion on some of the films that Thomas and Steven have analyzed in recent entries. Finally, we talk about our overall impression of Malick's work and career and give our picks for his best and worst films (in terms of both themes and craftsmanship).https://twitter.com/StevenDeLay4https://stevendelay.com/https://sunypress.edu/Books/L/Life-Above-the-Cloudshttps://twitter.com/CinemaPsyophttps://www.patreon.com/PsyopCinemahttp://psyop-cinema.com/https://linktr.ee/psyopcinema thomas-psyopcinema@protonmail.combrett-psyopcinema@protonmail.com

Joined by Luemas from Chant It Down Radio, we analyze the cult classic Donnie Darko. This 2001 film directed by Richard Kelly includes the involvement of plenty of sus Hollywood figures, including major Monarch actress Drew Barrymore. We talk about time travel mind control, sexual revolution propaganda, and the movie's countless other dark symbols and themes.https://www.chantitdownradio.com/https://twitter.com/CinemaPsyophttps://www.patreon.com/PsyopCinemahttp://psyop-cinema.com/https://linktr.ee/psyopcinemathomas-psyopcinema@protonmail.combrett-psyopcinema@protonmail.com 

Thomas goes on William Ramsey Investigates to discuss his essay "A Digital State: Ukraine as Cultural Engineering Laboratory," written for issue #1 of Cultural Engineering Studies magazine. Thomas describes the dozens of music videos filmed in the last couple decades in Kiev by highly sus Western artists, which frequently feature occult and trauma-based mind control symbolism. They talk about the Ukrainian entertainment industry, the Zelensky government's Ministry of Digital Transformation, and Ukraine's function as a testing ground for the globalist technocratic agenda.https://decoding-culture.com/https://decoding-culture.com/a-digital-state/https://decoding-culture.com/cultural-engineering-studies-issue-1/https://decoding-culture.com/ces-issue-1-index/ https://www.williamramseyinvestigates.com/https://twitter.com/CinemaPsyophttps://www.patreon.com/PsyopCinemahttp://psyop-cinema.com/https://linktr.ee/psyopcinema

Brett goes on William Ramsey Investigates to discuss his essay "NASA and Hollywood: A DCF Research Report, Part 1," written for issue #1 of Cultural Engineering Studies magazine. As Director of Research Operations for the Decoding Culture Foundation, Brett has looked deeply into NASA's collaborations with Hollywood, through FOIA requests, archives, and direct communication with NASA's entertainment liaison. They discuss his findings and how they indicate that something more is at work in the Hollywood/DC relationship than simple national security state propaganda.https://decoding-culture.com/https://decoding-culture.com/nasa-and-hollywood/https://decoding-culture.com/cultural-engineering-studies-issue-1/https://decoding-culture.com/ces-issue-1-index/ https://www.williamramseyinvestigates.com/https://twitter.com/CinemaPsyophttps://www.patreon.com/PsyopCinemahttp://psyop-cinema.com/https://linktr.ee/psyopcinemathomas-psyopcinema@protonmail.combrett-psyopcinema@protonmail.com
