Psyop Cinema

Joined by Luemas from Chant It Down Radio, we analyze the cult classic Donnie Darko. This 2001 film directed by Richard Kelly includes the involvement of plenty of sus Hollywood figures, including major Monarch actress Drew Barrymore. We talk about time travel mind control, sexual revolution propaganda, and the movie's countless other dark symbols and themes.

Thomas goes on William Ramsey Investigates to discuss his essay "A Digital State: Ukraine as Cultural Engineering Laboratory," written for issue #1 of Cultural Engineering Studies magazine. Thomas describes the dozens of music videos filmed in the last couple decades in Kiev by highly sus Western artists, which frequently feature occult and trauma-based mind control symbolism. They talk about the Ukrainian entertainment industry, the Zelensky government's Ministry of Digital Transformation, and Ukraine's function as a testing ground for the globalist technocratic agenda.

Brett goes on William Ramsey Investigates to discuss his essay "NASA and Hollywood: A DCF Research Report, Part 1," written for issue #1 of Cultural Engineering Studies magazine. As Director of Research Operations for the Decoding Culture Foundation, Brett has looked deeply into NASA's collaborations with Hollywood, through FOIA requests, archives, and direct communication with NASA's entertainment liaison. They discuss his findings and how they indicate that something more is at work in the Hollywood/DC relationship than simple national security state propaganda.

In a new installment of their series on David Fincher, Thomas and Brett cover The Killer, Fincher's 2023 hitman thriller starring Michael Fassbender. They discuss Fincher's continued preoccupation with psychopathy and the dark self archetype, the film's hints concerning deep state conspiracies and the Thelemic religion of Hollywood, and its surprising thematic connections to Fincher's previous film, Mank.  Just as Oppenheimer confirmed the show's conclusions about Nolan, The Killer totally validates the Psyop Cinema reading of Fincher.

Thomas and Steven continue their analysis of True Detective, this time joined by Jasun Horsley for a conversation about season two. Finding the season significantly underrated, they talk about its mixed reception and contrast its approach to that of season one. Resuming discussion of Pizzolatto's treatment of masculinity, family, and sexuality, they also find much worth considering in the season's depiction of the parapolitical dimensions of the California counterculture.

Thomas and Steven conclude their analysis of Malick's Weightless trilogy, looking at his 2017 film Song to Song. With this movie, Malick solidifies the Weightless trilogy's status as authentically Christian (specifically, Kierkegaardian) cinema. Using the setting of the Austin music scene, it delivers a positive message concerning the emptiness of hedonistic contemporary culture and how that lifestyle might be escaped. Thomas and Steven pay special attention to Michael Fassbender's role as a sinister record producer named Cook, Malick's version of a Miltonian Satan, a character that hints at the dark occult underbelly of the music industry.

We are joined by both William Ramsey and Sean McCann for a discussion that follows up on the analysis we did with them earlier this year of Leave the World Behind. Unpacking the surprisingly dull recent Alex Garland film Civil War, we also spend time talking about the much more lively film The Second Civil War, a 1997 made for TV movie directed by Joe Dante. The Second Civil War offers a satirical depiction of a heavily diversified America that is unable to cope with the complexities of globalization and is on the brink of violent conflict. We analyze the political ethos driving each film, considering their approaches to the ideal of journalistic neutrality, and discussing the extent to which Garland's film offers a pretense of being non-ideological. These films also give us the chance to offer our interpretations of recent American political developments and our thoughts about whether the events of such movies may represent our genuine future.

Thomas and Steven discuss the first season of True Detective, analyzing its iconic depiction of occult conspiracy. They talk about the series' treatment of religion and philosophical pessimism, its approach to masculinity, and the thematic ambiguities of the show's conclusion. While expressing appreciation that this masterpiece of television includes so many positive notes, they also discuss the limitations of even well intentioned media depictions of organized ritual abuse.

Continuing their examination of the Weightless trilogy, Thomas and Steven explore Knight of Cups, Malick's 2015 film that dreamily depicts a screenwriter's search for meaning, as he wanders through the maze of Hollywood life. Analyzing the film's gnostic and tarot reference points, they again seek to discern whether Malick is subverting standard Hollywood spirituality with a distinctly Christian vision. Thomas theorizes that Malick's use of the tarot is a sly and sophisticated critique of Hollywood hedonism as well as the occult worldview that underpins it.
