Psyop Cinema
Psyop Cinema is a podcast about the film industry and its intimate connections to mass manipulation, conspiracy, and the occult. Hosts Thomas Millary and Brett Carollo explore film from a deep politics perspective, demonstrating how the artistry of cinema combines with psychological and technological knowledge to engineer culture in subtle (and sometimes not-so-subtle) ways— making each of us the subject of the greatest mind control experiment in history.

The Thing and Other Carpenter Films, with Geoff Shullenberger and James Ellis
Thomas is joined by two returning guests, James Ellis of Hermitix and Geoff Shullenberger of Outsider Theory, to discuss several John Carpenter films. 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 assessment of Carpenter's work, appreciating some pro-human notes despite his darkly apocalyptic and boomer liberal tendencies. Geoff and James also offer some bonus thoughts on The Last of Us.https://jdemeta.net/https://twitter.com/meta_nomadhttps://twitter.com/Hermitixpodcasthttp://www.hermitix.net/https://www.patreon.com/hermitixhttps://outsidertheory.com/https://twitter.com/g_shullenbergerhttps://compactmag.com/https://compactmag.com/article/the-rise-of-the-biosecurity-complexhttps://twitter.com/CinemaPsyophttps://www.patreon.com/PsyopCinemahttp://psyop-cinema.com/https://linktr.ee/psyopcinemathomas-psyopcinema@protonmail.combrett-psyopcinema@protonmail.com

Dissident Mama on the Yankee Empire and Gone with the Wind
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. Rebecca gives her take on the psyops perpetrated by globalists and neocons that have distorted American history and demonized the South. We cover many aspects of the problem of puritanical political utopianism before discussing the nuances of Gone with the Wind.https://www.dissidentmama.net/https://www.dissidentmama.net/indentity-less-ness/ https://www.dissidentmama.net/russia-ukraine-through-a-dixian-lens-part-1/https://www.dissidentmama.net/puritans-part-1-coming-to-america/https://www.amazon.com/Honorable-Cause-Twelve-Southern-Essays/dp/B0BZ6SLV8Dhttps://southernorthodox.org/https://twitter.com/CinemaPsyophttps://www.patreon.com/PsyopCinemahttp://psyop-cinema.com/https://linktr.ee/psyopcinemathomas-psyopcinema@protonmail.combrett-psyopcinema@protonmail.com

Psyop Cinema Appears on the Dissident Mama Podcast
We went on the Dissident Mama podcast to explain what Psyop Cinema is all about. Topics include the origins of Psyop Cinema, Hollywood's assault on Christianity, our critiques of sci-fi and superheroes, and what we mean by terms such as "red pill programming" and the "second matrix."https://www.dissidentmama.net/https://twitter.com/CinemaPsyophttps://www.patreon.com/PsyopCinemahttp://psyop-cinema.com/https://linktr.ee/psyopcinemathomas-psyopcinema@protonmail.combrett-psyopcinema@protonmail.com

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. https://twitter.com/CinemaPsyophttps://www.patreon.com/PsyopCinemahttp://psyop-cinema.com/https://linktr.ee/psyopcinemathomas-psyopcinema@protonmail.combrett-psyopcinema@protonmail.comCLARIFICATION: In our discussion of the different components of Monarch mind control, we conflated 'gamma' and 'theta' programming. Gamma programming, according to Springmeier, is about the "secret layering of demons" through ritual abuse, whereas theta programming is the more proper designation for the development of psi superpowers through Monarch techniques.

Revisiting Fight Club (On William Ramsey Investigates)
We went on William Ramsey's show to give our updated analysis of Fight Club (previously covered in our series on David Fincher), getting into predictive programming, anarcho-primitivism as a tool of the New World Order, and the dark self archetype. The conversation also covers Fincher, Leto, Palahniuk, and connections to what we call the Joker Cycle. https://twitter.com/CinemaPsyophttps://www.patreon.com/PsyopCinemahttp://psyop-cinema.com/https://linktr.ee/psyopcinemathomas-psyopcinema@protonmail.combrett-psyopcinema@protonmail.comhttps://www.williamramseyinvestigates.com/https://twitter.com/WilliamRamseyIn

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 epistemology for analyzing pop-culture. https://twitter.com/CinemaPsyophttps://www.patreon.com/PsyopCinemahttp://psyop-cinema.com/https://linktr.ee/psyopcinemathomas-psyopcinema@protonmail.combrett-psyopcinema@protonmail.comhttps://jaysanalysis.com/https://jaysanalysis.com/product/meta-narratives-essays-on-philosophy-symbolism-new-jay-dyer-book-pre-orders/https://www.youtube.com/user/esoremCORRECTION: The film Brett references concerning the use of subliminal imagery is actually My World Dies Screaming, rather than The Screaming Skull (both being 1958 films)

Jasun Horsley on Stanley Kubrick and Artificial Intelligence
We talk with Jasun Horsley about his new book, The Kubrickon: The Cult of Kubrick, AttentionCapture, & 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 relationship between Satan and matter. https://landmademan.com/the-kubrickonhttps://linktr.ee/jasunhorsleyhttps://twitter.com/CinemaPsyophttps://www.patreon.com/PsyopCinemahttps://linktr.ee/psyopcinemathomas-psyopcinema@protonmail.combrett-psyopcinema@protonmail.com

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/CinemaPsyophttps://www.patreon.com/PsyopCinemahttps://linktr.ee/psyopcinemathomas-psyopcinema@protonmail.combrett-psyopcinema@protonmail.com

Glass Onion (Preview)
A preview of a recent Patreon-only episode, where Thomas analyzes Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery. In the full episode, he explains how its combination of mind control symbolism, woke sanctimony, and terrible filmmaking is repugnant enough to be somewhat instructive. Speaking to several major political controversies of the last few years, Glass Onion reveals the parallels between individual instances of mind control and broader programs of social destruction. Its messaging demonstrates the institutionalized nihilism of the elite worldview, for which Hollywood directors like Rian Johnson are loyal propagandists.https://twitter.com/CinemaPsyophttps://www.patreon.com/PsyopCinemahttps://linktr.ee/psyopcinemathomas-psyopcinema@protonmail.combrett-psyopcinema@protonmail.com
