The hidden symbolism and layered allegory in Stanley Kubrick movies has been studied by vigilant researchers for decades, and one of the foremost analysts is returning guest Sean McCann of the ‘Wake The Dead’ podcast.

In this episode, Sean hones in on ‘Full Metal Jacket’ and - its surface narrative aside - decodes it as a commentary on the dehumanisation caused by trauma-based mind control, with several unlikely connections to the satanic Disney corporation and its key emblem of Mickey Mouse.

We remain perplexed as to whether Kubrick was communicating the messages he did - albeit symbolically - with the full complicity of his paymasters - or whether he was a maverick who sought to go his own way, and who possibly paid the ultimate price for doing so.
