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/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/psyopcinemathomas-psyopcinema@protonmail.combrett-psyopcinema@protonmail.com

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

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

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

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.https://twitter.com/Rach4Patriarchyhttps://substack.com/@rwilsonhttps://www.amazon.com/Occult-Feminism-Secret-History-Liberation/dp/B09NGXZKHB/ - Occult Feminism: The Secret History of Women's Liberationhttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCZGnJ9SUMgD1Hs_MAQYIUJghttps://linktr.ee/RachelLWilsonhttps://www.dissidentmama.net/https://southernorthodox.org/https://twitter.com/Dissident_MamaResources on American history mentioned by Rebecca -https://www.amazon.com/Roll-Jordan-World-Slaves-Made/dp/0394716523https://shotwellpublishing.com/emancipation-hell/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EIuJ9YWddUkhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xeLF8Qxef_chttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZUsclaam8Dc

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. Discussing UFO-spirituality gives us the chance to analyze a Spielberg film for the first time on the show, as we unpack the creepy infantilizing messaging of Close Encounters of the Third Kind.Invoking the Beyond: The Kantian Rift, Mythologized Menaces, and the Quest for the New Man - https://www.amazon.com/dp/1663213518 https://www.conspiracyarchive.com/2023/03/09/fire-in-the-firmament-the-alien-deception-accelerates/https://www.conspiracyarchive.com/2023/05/09/ufos-and-the-ghost-of-paul-nitze/ https://twitter.com/PhillipDCollin1 https://twitter.com/CinemaPsyop https://www.patreon.com/PsyopCinema http://psyop-cinema.com/ https://linktr.ee/psyopcinema thomas-psyopcinema@protonmail.combrett-psyopcinema@protonmail.com

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 MKUltra movie.https://twitter.com/StevenDeLay4https://stevendelay.com/https://sunypress.edu/Books/L/Life-Above-the-Cloudshttps://twitter.com/CinemaPsyop https://www.patreon.com/PsyopCinema http://psyop-cinema.com/ https://linktr.ee/psyopcinema thomas-psyopcinema@protonmail.combrett-psyopcinema@protonmail.com

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

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 transhumanist agenda.https://truefreethinker.com/ https://twitter.com/CinemaPsyop https://www.patreon.com/PsyopCinema http://psyop-cinema.com/ https://linktr.ee/psyopcinema thomas-psyopcinema@protonmail.combrett-psyopcinema@protonmail.com

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://psyop-cinema.com/ https://linktr.ee/psyopcinema thomas-psyopcinema@protonmail.combrett-psyopcinema@protonmail.com
