Paranoid American episodes

  • Occult Disney #30: Aladdin, Subliminal Messages, Inversion of the Golden Bough and DisneyQuest!
    Aladdin is one of my favorite Disney "classics" for lots of reasons, even the soundtrack is good. Did you know that the original story actually took place in China? Here we talk about the backstory, production, mythology, history and more. We even talk about the Aladdin Genesis/SNES games, Magic Carpet Ride at DisneyQuest and of course, Robin Williams.

  • Occult Disney 29: The Sad and Tragic Source of Beauty and the Beast (and the Golden Bough)
    Beauty and the Beast was peak Disney renaissance, and a commercial success. As with many previous Disney animations, the studio deviated far from the original script, in some cases changing the core dynamics of the story. This is a perfect example, as Belle's father is reduced to a mediocre engineer (in the original story he was a king). We also get into the dark origins of the inspiration of Beauty and the Beast: a link to an older time when arranged marriages were the norm and many young brides would see their assigned husbands as older and hairier "beasts".

  • Occult Disney 28: Rescuers Down Under and The Golden Eagle of Enlightenment
    The better of the Rescuers Down Under, and the "first fully digital" Disney animation, although compared to today's standards I still consider this traditional animation in many ways. Lots of interesting threads here. Percival (Pierce the Veil), Golden Eagle and the intersection of animals in military warfare and technology.

  • Occult Disney 27: The Little Mermaid, the Power of Contracts, Paracelsus, Melusine & Little St James
    The Little Mermaid is a true Disney classic, and perhaps the most advanced example of Disney mastering the formula and going beyond their usual story writing process. Here we have an inversion of The Golden Bough published in the 1890s, of how the true ruler of any kingdom must capture the daughter and slay her father (the king) to ensure virility and prevent inbreeding.
    We also have the inversion of the mermaid story itself (Melusine) in which a mermaid was a beautiful creature without a human soul, and thus not included in reincarnation or afterlife. They simply dissolved into "sea foam" at the end of their life, unless they married a human.
    Disney can't allow their protagonist and ancillary merchandising to be based on a character without a soul, so the formula is simply inverted to keep its occult meanings. Truly a fascinating subject once all of the historical context is decoded.

  • Occult Disney 26: Oliver & Company, Disney Proxy Inception, and NLP Embedded Story Programming
    The Disney Proxy thesis continues, with some very specific and practical examples of Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) techniques in the first "modern" Disney animation. All previous animations took place in more classical / timeless periods, while Oliver and Company talks directly to new viewers in a reality much closer to their own.

  • Occult Disney #25: Who Framed Roger Rabbit, Intersection of Realities, and Adult Art in Disney Toons
    Who Framed Roger Rabbit is an occult ensemble based in esoteric and exoteric conspiracy, from the Red Car transit line being overtaken by the oil industry, to a more nuanced hint at how two different realities might interact, and how their respective laws of physics might work.

  • Frogs and Salamanders, Silver Mines and Gold Treasures | Monthly Mormon Monday 8
    In this episode we talk in depth about Willard Chase's affidavit of 1833, in which he recounts a story about Joseph Smith fighting a toad protecting the Golden Plates, which shapeshifts into a human being, and beats him up severely. It's a story of silver mines and gold treasure that might have been conduits to a bigger picture of the divine. Watch as Heidi struggles to keep Thomas from joining Mormonism, but in turn ends up giving praising Joseph Smith for perhaps the first time ever!
    Will Thomas become a Mormon? Who knows! Watch this episode to find out!
