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.

Liquid Dreams (Monarch 9), with Sean McCann
On this special main feed episode of the Monarch series, Brett is joined by Sean McCann of the Wake the Dead podcast to analyze the cyberpunk erotic thriller Liquid Dreams (1991), a nearly forgotten midnight movie about a gnostic adrenochrome sex cult deploying DARPA-level MK mind control tech through the entertainment industry. Described by the director as his version of The Wizard of Oz, Liquid Dreams, like The Wizard of Oz, is as an allegory for Hollywood itself—possibly the ultimate Revelation of the Method movie in terms of the film industry’s weaponization of sex and violence to depattern mass consciousness and reduce it to raw material at the service of a spiritually psychotic global superclass.https://onegreatworknetwork.com/sean-mccannhttps://twitter.com/CinemaPsyophttps://www.patreon.com/PsyopCinemahttps://linktr.ee/psyopcinemathomas-psyopcinema@protonmail.combrett-psyopcinema@protonmail.com

Highway (Jared Leto 2)
Continuing our series on Jared Leto, we cover the 2002 film Highway, showing how it leverages 90s nihilism into the all-out pornographization of culture in the 2000s. We analyze the rock star archetype, why it's at the center of Leto’s career, and the clumsy cultural engineering agenda driving it. Finally, Brett proves that Kurt Cobain didn’t kill himself.https://twitter.com/CinemaPsyophttps://www.patreon.com/PsyopCinemahttps://linktr.ee/psyopcinemathomas-psyopcinema@protonmail.combrett-psyopcinema@protonmail.com

The Da Vinci Code and Dan Brown, with Geoff Shullenberger
Geoff Shullenberger returns to Psyop Cinema, this time discussing the novels of Dan Brown and their trilogy of film adaptations (the subject of Geoff's recent essay for American Affairs). He and Thomas talk about the strange prescience of Brown's novels, in his early work's treatment of the deep state, surveillance, and encryption and his later work's promotion of transhumanism and depopulation. They cover The Da Vinci Code's defense of elite sex rituals, Angels and Demons' weak approach to the reconciliation of science and religion, Inferno's portrayal of a virus meant to depopulate the world, Brown's consistent themes of reproduction and elite succession, and many other aspects of the once strangely popular Robert Langdon franchise.https://americanaffairsjournal.org/2022/11/mythology-of-the-deep-state-the-novels-of-dan-brown/https://outsidertheory.com/https://twitter.com/g_shullenbergerhttps://compactmag.com/https://twitter.com/CinemaPsyophttps://www.patreon.com/PsyopCinemahttps://linktr.ee/psyopcinemathomas-psyopcinema@protonmail.combrett-psyopcinema@protonmail.com

A Scanner Darkly (On William Ramsey Investigates)
We return to William Ramsey Investigates, to discuss A Scanner Darkly, the Richard Linklater adaptation of the Philip K. Dick novel. This bleak film gives us the chance to talk about the drug war psyop, how surveillance and intelligence culture erode identity, and some reservations about Linklater's work. As for PKD, unlike many other major figures from the worlds of counterculture and sci-fi, we find him to be more tragic than malevolent. https://www.williamramseyinvestigates.com/https://twitter.com/WilliamRamseyInhttps://twitter.com/CinemaPsyophttps://www.patreon.com/PsyopCinemahttps://linktr.ee/psyopcinemathomas-psyopcinema@protonmail.combrett-psyopcinema@protonmail.com

Former Atomwaffen Member Speaks Out About Satanic Infiltration
Thomas speaks with Theodore, a former member of the Atomwaffen Division, an infamous neo-Nazi paramilitary organization. Theodore describes how AWD's ideology underwent a dramatic shift, with the group's National Socialist extremism being supplanted by an even more sinister and perverse anti-human Satanism, associated with the Tempel ov Blood, a nexion of the Order of Nine Angles. We go into the details of how this shift took place, including the troubling role of FBI informant Joshua Sutter. Theodore talks about his journey into and out of this dark world and how he now understands all of it through his Orthodox Christian faith. We discuss different crimes associated with Atomwaffen, how the mainstream and fringes of society contain the same nihilistic and self-worshiping traps, the involvement of intelligence agencies with trafficking, the AWD's perspective on various American Nazi figures, and what people get right and wrong about radicalization narratives.https://twitter.com/CinemaPsyophttps://www.patreon.com/PsyopCinemahttps://linktr.ee/psyopcinemathomas-psyopcinema@protonmail.combrett-psyopcinema@protonmail.com
