Verifier Andy's betrayal has borne fruit! The heretic renegades of the Cinemania Society are forced to continue their 12th conclave, having been strapped into chairs Clockwork Orange-style and forced to watch  a kooky and obscure British satire from 1989, "How to Get Ahead in Advertising," featuring Classic Loki portrayer, Richard E. Grant. All nefariousness contains the seeds of its own demise however, and it Scrutinizer Zacharia may be having a massive allergic reaction (à la Akira) to whatever it was Andy put in everyone's tea...

The heretic renegades of the Cinemania Society have finally found some ground transport that keeps them out of the rain and cold, but Verifier Andy has something nefarious and diabolical planned for his turn as Pontifex of Presentment. The Society is forced to watch "How to Get Ahead in Advertising," yet another obscure British independent film, but this time another joint from HandMade Films, one that features Richard E. Grant delivering some truly maniacal monologues. It's Clockwork Orange time, bitches.

In this special super-extended Profile in Cinemania, researched, written, and performed by Profligator Daniel, our listeners are presented with a dubious deep dive into one of the weirdest individuals to ever exist in the multiverse, one Louis Whitley Strieber: retired marketing guru, author of "The Hunger," hack novelist, self-confessed alien abductee, and podcast host. Listen with caution, for infection with CINEMANIA is assured.

The heretic renegades of the Cinemania Society find themselves on the outskirts of an abandoned futurecore theme park (legally distinct from any other futurecore theme park you might be imagining), where they decide to hold their next Conclave examining the blockbuster sci-fi action spectacular from 1990, Total Recall! One can only imagine what manner of dreadful encounters the gang might have as they skulk through the rusting beams and mildewed thrill rides of this once grand (but oddly Soviet) playground of the people...

Listen in horror as we play for you the secret recordings recorded secretly (secretly, I tell you!) as the Cinemania High Council convened a meeting during its office holiday party to discuss the progress on eliminating the heretic renegades formerly known as the Cinemania Society Chapter #35. 

The heretic renegades of the Cinemania Society are safe, having fled some Cinemassassin-Cosmonauts bent on murdering the s**t out of them.  They take refuge in one of the exhibits within the abandoned futurecore theme park (legally distinct from all other futurecore theme parks), and having concluded their Conclave examining the sci-fi action schlock-tacular Total Recall, render judgement.

This is the episode we had intended to publish back in September, but which we had to recall because SAG-AFTRA clarified its position for us on podcasts like ours, and we did not want to cross the picket line. Now that the SAG-AFTRA strike has been suspended, we are proceeding with publication of this series. 

We apologize for the error in upload on 11/15/23. The file has since been repaired and should play normally.
