Brace yourselves for a thrilling journey as we venture further into the enigmatic universe of Scientology. In this riveting episode, we pull back the curtains on the clandestine world of Scientology training films. With our guest and collaborator, Mitch Brisker, we probe into the UPPER INDOC TRs - the relentless training routines meant to mould individuals to the will of L. Ron Hubbard and the Church of Scientology. Our scintillating conversation highlights a film we shot, casting Sea Organization members from the Int Base, commending the remarkable performances by Al Mace and Lyman Spurlock.
Delve deeper with us as we shed light on the notorious Scientology film TR-7 and its elusive cast. We discuss the enigmatic roles of celebrities such as Tom Cruise, Kirstie Alley, and Nicole Kidman in these training routines, and their connection with the controversial Potential Trouble Source/Suppressive Person Course. We also give you an insider's look into the extravagant arrangements for A-list celebrities and the meticulous attention to detail that goes into creating the trailers for these Scientology films.
Our discussion doesn't stop at the glitz and glamour of Scientology's close ties with Hollywood; we also take you behind the scenes, revealing fascinating stories from the set. Discover the unconventional way progress in a Scientology film script is measured, and hear tales of near-misses and on-set challenges. We explore the significance of film in Scientology, scrutinize the restoration process of these films, and postulate on the likelihood of leaked footage. This episode is a compelling amalgamation of Scientology, films, and the ensuing controversies. Trust us; you don't want to miss this one!
