Song to Song, with Steven DeLay (Malick 8)
Thomas and Steven conclude their analysis of Malick's Weightless trilogy, looking at his 2017 film Song to Song. With this movie, Malick solidifies the Weightless trilogy's status as authentically Christian (specifically, Kierkegaardian) cinema. Using the setting of the Austin music scene, it delivers a positive message concerning the emptiness of hedonistic contemporary culture and how that lifestyle might be escaped. Thomas and Steven pay special attention to Michael Fassbender's role as a sinister record producer named Cook, Malick's version of a Miltonian Satan, a character that hints at the dark occult underbelly of the music industry.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

Civil War (2024) and The Second Civil War (1997), with William Ramsey and Sean McCann
We are joined by both William Ramsey and Sean McCann for a discussion that follows up on the analysis we did with them earlier this year of Leave the World Behind. Unpacking the surprisingly dull recent Alex Garland film Civil War, we also spend time talking about the much more lively film The Second Civil War, a 1997 made for TV movie directed by Joe Dante. The Second Civil War offers a satirical depiction of a heavily diversified America that is unable to cope with the complexities of globalization and is on the brink of violent conflict. We analyze the political ethos driving each film, considering their approaches to the ideal of journalistic neutrality, and discussing the extent to which Garland's film offers a pretense of being non-ideological. These films also give us the chance to offer our interpretations of recent American political developments and our thoughts about whether the events of such movies may represent our genuine future. https://www.williamramseyinvestigates.com/https://onegreatworknetwork.com/sean-mccannhttps://twitter.com/CinemaPsyophttps://www.patreon.com/PsyopCinemahttp://psyop-cinema.com/https://linktr.ee/psyopcinema thomas-psyopcinema@protonmail.combrett-psyopcinema@protonmail.com

The Fury, Scanners, and Firestarter (on Jay's Analysis)
We joined our friend Jay Dyer on his show for a discussion about three films that deal with trauma-based mind control designed to cultivate psychical powers, particularly in children. Breaking down De Palma's The Fury, Cronenberg's Scanners, and Mark L. Lester's Firestarter, we talk about theta programming, the real history of government-sponsored psychical research, and the occult ideology that drives such experimentation. Films such as these program their audiences to venerate mutants and crave the catharsis of seeing their powers unleashed. https://jaysanalysis.com/https://twitter.com/CinemaPsyophttps://www.patreon.com/PsyopCinemahttp://psyop-cinema.com/https://linktr.ee/psyopcinemathomas-psyopcinema@protonmail.combrett-psyopcinema@protonmail.com

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.https://twitter.com/CinemaPsyophttps://www.patreon.com/PsyopCinemahttp://psyop-cinema.com/https://linktr.ee/psyopcinemathomas-psyopcinema@protonmail.combrett-psyopcinema@protonmail.com
