Mandy and Beyond the Black Rainbow, with Sean McCann
We are joined by Sean McCann for a discussion of the films of Panos Cosmatos, analyzing Beyond the Black Rainbow's MKUltra New Age horror and Mandy's dark psychedelic Nic Cage rampage. Getting into his biting commentary on 1960s boomer spirituality and 1980s Reagan conservatism, we discern which countercultural psyops Cosmatos is rejecting and which ones he wholeheartedly embraces. Dark goddess worship, Programmed to Kill style mind control, and dissociative power trips for the powerless make their usual appearances. Finally, we make some comments about The Viewing, Cosmatos' episode of Guillermo del Toro's Cabinet of Curiosities.https://onegreatworknetwork.com/sean-mccannhttps://twitter.com/CinemaPsyophttps://www.patreon.com/PsyopCinema http://psyop-cinema.com/https://linktr.ee/psyopcinemathomas-psyopcinema@protonmail.combrett-psyopcinema@protonmail.com

Blade Runner
We talk about Blade Runner, getting into its attack upon the boundaries of the human and its prevalent Illuminati symbolism. Differentiating Philip K. Dick's ill-fated Gnostic impulses from Ridley Scott's overt promotion of the superclass worldview, we contrast the source material and the film, also noting key distinctions between the several cuts of the movie. Blade Runner turns out to be a standard Hollywood sci-fi vehicle for Luciferian transhumanism. https://twitter.com/CinemaPsyophttps://www.patreon.com/PsyopCinemahttp://psyop-cinema.com/https://linktr.ee/psyopcinemathomas-psyopcinema@protonmail.combrett-psyopcinema@protonmail.com

Halloween (2018), Halloween Kills, and Halloween Ends, with Geoff Shullenberger
Geoff Shullenberger joins us for an analysis of the recent David Gordon Green Halloween trilogy. He discuses a Girardian reading of Halloween Ends as well the "lab leak theory of Michael Myers." Is the 2018 film correctly read as based and right-wing, or is it more of the same MK-culture fetishization of trauma? Why is Halloween Kills so terrible? And does Halloween Ends present a cringe lib approach to evil or a positive subversion of typical Hollywood incel revenge fantasies?https://outsidertheory.com/https://twitter.com/g_shullenbergerhttps://compactmag.com/https://twitter.com/CinemaPsyophttps://www.patreon.com/PsyopCinemahttp://psyop-cinema.com/https://linktr.ee/psyopcinemathomas-psyopcinema@protonmail.combrett-psyopcinema@protonmail.com

John Carpenter's Halloween, with the Collins Brothers
We are joined by Paul and Phillip Collins to discuss John Carpenter's Halloween, in the first of three episodes on the Halloween franchise. They explain the apotheosis of Michael Myers, how this archetypal slasher fits into the occult transhumanist project to transcend good and evil and remake humanity. We discuss depictions of evil within Carpenter's work and how the weaponized insanity of Myers relates to demonic clowns and what we have called "the Joker cycle."Invoking the Beyond: The Kantian Rift, Mythologized Menaces, and the Quest for the New Man - https://www.amazon.com/dp/1663213518https://www.conspiracyarchive.com/author/collins-brothers/https://twitter.com/PhillipDCollin1The correct title of the Spanish film that Brett refers to as Agony is Anguish (1987).https://twitter.com/CinemaPsyophttps://www.patreon.com/PsyopCinemahttp://psyop-cinema.com/https://linktr.ee/psyopcinemathomas-psyopcinema@protonmail.combrett-psyopcinema@protonmail.com

Malick's Origins and The Thin Red Line, with Steven DeLay (Malick 3)
We discuss The Thin Red Line with Steven DeLay, after first going much deeper into Terrence Malick's background. Considering many remarkable and little known facts about Malick's biography, we analyze his relationship to the academia/media/intelligence culture creating complex. We then talk about Malick's late 90s epic war film The Thin Red Line, discussing whether the underlying religious message is essentially Christian or pantheistic and unpacking the significance of the film's notable casting choices.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
