Psyop Cinema

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

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

Thomas talks with James Ellis about their experiences being immersed in Nick Land's philosophy, returning to Christianity, and the limits of the human in accelerationism and Christian worldviews. They discuss the dangers of modern nihilism, the phrase 'Be not afraid,' politics and the war in heaven, and analyze John Carpenter's In the Mouth of Madness.

We recently appeared on the Wake the Dead podcast to talk with Sean McCann about the Joker. In addition to further analysis of the 2019 film, discussion topics include trauma based mind control, Satanic ritual abuse, Alan Moore, and weaponized nihilism. https://onegreatworknetwork.com/sean-mccannhttps://twitter.com/CinemaPsyophttps://www.patreon.com/PsyopCinemahttps://linktr.ee/psyopcinemathomas-psyopcinema@protonmail.combrett-psyopcinema@protonmail.com

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

Brett and Thomas join Emmet Penney on the ex.haust podcast to discuss the school shooting themed found footage film The Dirties. We discuss pop culture obsession, the figure of the mass shooter, and the relevance of this film to the content of our ongoing Joker series. https://exhaust.fireside.fm/https://twitter.com/nukebarbarianhttps://twitter.com/CinemaPsyophttps://www.patreon.com/PsyopCinemahttps://linktr.ee/psyopcinemathomas-psyopcinema@protonmail.combrett-psyopcinema@protonmail.com

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

An unlocked episode of Brett's Monarch series, with some new commentary from Thomas on the strange career of Anya Taylor-Joy. Brett reveals the massive number of Monarch mind control tropes showcased in the 2021 Edgar Wright psychological horror film and shows how it portrays initiation into the culture-creation industry. Thomas then surveys many of Taylor-Joy's other roles, pointing out a disturbing trend of blatant portrayals of trauma-based mind control.https://twitter.com/CinemaPsyophttps://www.patreon.com/PsyopCinemahttps://linktr.ee/psyopcinemathomas-psyopcinema@protonmail.combrett-psyopcinema@protonmail.com

We survey the highly suspicious career of Jared Leto, focusing on his role as frontman of Thirty Seconds to Mars. Having played both the Joker and Mark David Chapman, the cascade of unnerving details about Leto comes as no surprise. We talk about his odd upbringing, how he turned his fans into a literal cult, his Laurel Canyon home, his strange use of symbols, and many other giveaways that Leto's career is an obvious product of cultural engineering. https://twitter.com/CinemaPsyophttps://www.patreon.com/PsyopCinemahttps://linktr.ee/psyopcinemathomas-psyopcinema@protonmail.combrett-psyopcinema@protonmail.com

A Psyop Cinema Halloween special, combining three of Thomas' Patreon bonus episodes from last year. 2021's Psy-Optober bonus series analyzed The Cabin in the Woods, The Guest, and John Dies at the End. The Cabin in the Woods provides a near perfect metaphor for cultural engineering while also seeking to trap its audience inside a nefarious false binary of either total control or annihilation. The Guest functions as a cautionary tale about super-soldier experimentation. John Dies at the End contains a helpfully stark portrayal of transhumanist evil amid its scattershot stoner philosophy. Check out our Patreon if you enjoy this unlocked bonus content and stay tuned for more Joker episodes soon to come.https://twitter.com/CinemaPsyophttps://www.patreon.com/PsyopCinemahttps://linktr.ee/psyopcinemathomas-psyopcinema@protonmail.combrett-psyopcinema@protonmail.com
