To the Wonder, with Steven DeLay (Malick 6)

4/21/2024
Thomas and Steven continue the Terrence Malick series, introducing a discussion of the Weightless Trilogy, which begins with To the Wonder (2012) and constitutes some of the most fully realized Christian cinema ever produced. We talk about Malick's Kierkegaardian inspiration and analyze the film's depiction of romance, family, and the search for God. https://twitter.com/StevenDeLay4 https://stevendelay.com/ https://sunypress.edu/Books/L/Life-Above-the-Clouds https://twitter.com/CinemaPsyop https://www.patreon.com/PsyopCinema http://psyop-cinema.com/ https://linktr.ee/psyopcinema thomas-psyopcinema@protonmail.com brett-psyopcinema@protonmail.com

First Reformed

4/9/2024
As a sequel to our Taxi Driver episode, we analyze Paul Schrader's 2017 film First Reformed, an explicit work of religious engineering. We examine how the movie's sophisticated propaganda depicts the dying remnants of American Protestantism being absorbed into the globalist religion of the future, complete with worship of the earth mother goddess. We also talk about apocalypse programming, provide further background on Schrader, and discuss some recent disturbing comments that he's made. https://twitter.com/CinemaPsyop https://www.patreon.com/PsyopCinema http://psyop-cinema.com/ https://linktr.ee/psyopcinema thomas-psyopcinema@protonmail.com brett-psyopcinema@protonmail.com

Oppenheimer (Nolan 5)

3/11/2024
A return to our series on Christopher Nolan, discussing how Oppenheimer makes explicit the globalist politics implied by the sci-fi transhumanism of some of his previous films. We analyze how the movie treats standard Nolan themes, such as the master manipulator and the death of the soul (often symbolized by the death of women). Oppenheimer's depiction of the Promethean salesman of science gives us further confirmation of Nolan's significance as a cultural engineer. https://twitter.com/CinemaPsyop https://www.patreon.com/PsyopCinema http://psyop-cinema.com/ https://linktr.ee/psyopcinema thomas-psyopcinema@protonmail.com brett-psyopcinema@protonmail.com

Taxi Driver

3/3/2024
In a discussion that much of our longrunning Joker analysis has built to, we do a deep dive into Martin Scorsese's Taxi Driver (1976). We explain the foundational place of Scorsese's film in the feedback loop between media and spectacular crime that we call the Joker Cycle. Looking at other relevant films and filmmakers, we speculate on the possible role of Brian de Palma in the Taxi Driver psy-op, discuss Peter Bogdanovich's Targets (1968) as an early entry into the feedback loop, and explain the over-the-top revelation of the method in The Last Horror Film (1982). Breaking down Taxi Driver, we talk about the manufactured profile of the lone wolf spectacular criminal, Travis Bickle as proto-incel, and how the movie is a paradigmatic example of MK-culture reality/fiction breakdown. CORRECTION: The Terror was released in 1963 rather than 1968. https://twitter.com/CinemaPsyop https://www.patreon.com/PsyopCinema http://psyop-cinema.com/ https://linktr.ee/psyopcinema thomas-psyopcinema@protonmail.com brett-psyopcinema@protonmail.com

The Bourne Identity, Supremacy, and Ultimatum (on Chant It Down)

2/26/2024
Thomas joins Luemas on Chant It Down Radio, discussing the first three films in the Jason Bourne franchise. Starring the deeply sus Matt Damon, limited hangouts and revelation of the method abound in these movies. Discussing how Hollywood's political messaging has shifted over the last couple decades, Thomas and Luemas explain how the exceptionally spooked-up filmmakers behind this franchise blend sincere critique of CIA wrongdoing with disturbing fetishization of mind control. https://www.chantitdownradio.com/ https://twitter.com/CinemaPsyop https://www.patreon.com/PsyopCinema http://psyop-cinema.com/ https://linktr.ee/psyopcinema thomas-psyopcinema@protonmail.com brett-psyopcinema@protonmail.com

Leave the World Behind (on William Ramsey Investigates)

1/31/2024
We and Sean McCann joined William Ramsey for a discussion about the recent Obama-produced apocalyptic thriller Leave the World Behind. Directed by Sam Esmail, the movie is filled to the brim with globalist propaganda concerning social collapse, 'disinformation,' and the need to trust the technocratic elite at all costs. It also includes the usual subtext concerning the virtues of dissociative pop-culture mind control. https://www.williamramseyinvestigates.com/ https://onegreatworknetwork.com/sean-mccann https://twitter.com/CinemaPsyop https://www.patreon.com/PsyopCinema http://psyop-cinema.com/ https://linktr.ee/psyopcinema thomas-psyopcinema@protonmail.com brett-psyopcinema@protonmail.com

The Tree of Life, with Steven DeLay (Malick 5)

1/12/2024
Thomas and Steven discuss the spiritual and social themes of The Tree of Life, Terrence Malick's 2011 coming-of-age of drama with a cosmic background. They unpack the narrative's biblical references to Genesis and Job, and Steven describes the film's resonances with Augustine, Freud, and Dostoevsky. Analyzing the film's dichotomy between a motherly "way of grace" and a fatherly "way of nature," they disagree about whether The Tree of Life's critiques of 1950s American family life are biblical or aligned with standard Hollywood worship of the divine feminine. https://twitter.com/StevenDeLay4 https://stevendelay.com/ https://sunypress.edu/Books/L/Life-Above-the-Clouds https://twitter.com/CinemaPsyop https://www.patreon.com/PsyopCinema http://psyop-cinema.com/ https://linktr.ee/psyopcinema thomas-psyopcinema@protonmail.com brett-psyopcinema@protonmail.com

Blade Runner 2049

1/8/2024
Continuing the discussion that began with our analysis of Blade Runner, we look at the legacy sequel released in 2017 and directed by Denis Villeneuve. Blade Runner 2049 intensifies the psy-op of the original film, making the Monarch tropes and mind control themes far more obvious. The ever-sus Leto appears as a Elon Musk style tech-oligarch with Promethean aspirations. Considering the various perspectives advanced within the film on human/tech hybridity, we find Blade Runner 2049 to be promoting an anti-human worldview even more insidious than that of the Jared Leto villain. https://twitter.com/CinemaPsyop https://www.patreon.com/PsyopCinema http://psyop-cinema.com/ https://linktr.ee/psyopcinema thomas-psyopcinema@protonmail.com brett-psyopcinema@protonmail.com

The Albertini Tapes (on Wake the Dead)

12/21/2023
Brett and Steven DeLay appeared recently on Sean McCann’s Wake the Dead podcast to discuss the shockingly detailed accusations of ritual murder, blackmail, and human trafficking made by Richie Albertini, an associate of the Gambino crime family who grew up in the 80s alongside a bevy of future Hollywood A-listers. Albertini was later involved in running phone sex blackmail operations for Mossad, and he was the bar-back at Johnny Depp’s Viper room in the 90s. Citing specific films, Brett and Steven explain how incidents like the alleged ritual murder/blackmail initiation detailed by Albertini make their way into Hollywood productions. A must-listen for fans of our Joker series, as one of the top creative contributors to that film is directly implicated by Albertini. https://onegreatworknetwork.com/sean-mccann https://stevendelay.com/ https://twitter.com/CinemaPsyop https://www.patreon.com/PsyopCinema http://psyop-cinema.com/ https://linktr.ee/psyopcinema thomas-psyopcinema@protonmail.com brett-psyopcinema@protonmail.com

Mandy and Beyond the Black Rainbow, with Sean McCann

12/16/2023
We are joined by Sean McCann for a discussion of the films of Panos Cosmatos, analyzing Beyond the Black Rainbow's MKUltra New Age horror and Mandy's dark psychedelic Nic Cage rampage. Getting into his biting commentary on 1960s boomer spirituality and 1980s Reagan conservatism, we discern which countercultural psyops Cosmatos is rejecting and which ones he wholeheartedly embraces. Dark goddess worship, Programmed to Kill style mind control, and dissociative power trips for the powerless make their usual appearances. Finally, we make some comments about The Viewing, Cosmatos' episode of Guillermo del Toro's Cabinet of Curiosities. https://onegreatworknetwork.com/sean-mccann https://twitter.com/CinemaPsyop https://www.patreon.com/PsyopCinema http://psyop-cinema.com/ https://linktr.ee/psyopcinema thomas-psyopcinema@protonmail.com brett-psyopcinema@protonmail.com

Blade Runner

12/13/2023
We talk about Blade Runner, getting into its attack upon the boundaries of the human and its prevalent Illuminati symbolism. Differentiating Philip K. Dick's ill-fated Gnostic impulses from Ridley Scott's overt promotion of the superclass worldview, we contrast the source material and the film, also noting key distinctions between the several cuts of the movie. Blade Runner turns out to be a standard Hollywood sci-fi vehicle for Luciferian transhumanism. https://twitter.com/CinemaPsyop https://www.patreon.com/PsyopCinema http://psyop-cinema.com/ https://linktr.ee/psyopcinema thomas-psyopcinema@protonmail.com brett-psyopcinema@protonmail.com

Halloween (2018), Halloween Kills, and Halloween Ends, with Geoff Shullenberger

10/30/2023
Geoff Shullenberger joins us for an analysis of the recent David Gordon Green Halloween trilogy. He discuses a Girardian reading of Halloween Ends as well the "lab leak theory of Michael Myers." Is the 2018 film correctly read as based and right-wing, or is it more of the same MK-culture fetishization of trauma? Why is Halloween Kills so terrible? And does Halloween Ends present a cringe lib approach to evil or a positive subversion of typical Hollywood incel revenge fantasies? https://outsidertheory.com/ https://twitter.com/g_shullenberger https://compactmag.com/ https://twitter.com/CinemaPsyop https://www.patreon.com/PsyopCinema http://psyop-cinema.com/ https://linktr.ee/psyopcinema thomas-psyopcinema@protonmail.com brett-psyopcinema@protonmail.com

They explain the apotheosis of Michael Myers, how this archetypal slasher fits into the occult transhumanist project to transcend good and evil and remake humanity.

We discuss The Thin Red Line with Steven DeLay, after first going much deeper into Terrence Malick's background. Considering many remarkable and little known facts about Malick's biography, we analyze his relationship to the academia/media/intelligence culture creating complex.

Jacob's Ladder (On Debra Gets Red Pilled)

We went on the podcast Debra Gets Red Pilled for a fun conversation about the influential horror film Jacob's Ladder. It's a movie that hits most major Psyop Cinema themes, including religious engineering, trauma-based experimentation, the psychedelia psyop, Gnosticism, and fetishization of dissociation.

Sus of Freedom

9/18/2023
A look at the multi-layered psyop around Sound of Freedom, the popular recent Jim Caviezel film dealing with child sex trafficking. In contrast with the charged discourse around the film's alleged QAnon themes, we analyze the subtle quality of the Monarch 'dogwhistles' actually present in the film. We discuss those involved in the production and promotion of this movie, clarifying which of these figures are highly suspicious and which seem to be benign. At the center of our investigation is Caviezel's career (which is strangely filled with movies depicting memory loss and reality distortion) and troubling persona. Finally, we speculate about the possible purpose of this psyop and how it might relate to our current political landscape. https://twitter.com/CinemaPsyop https://www.patreon.com/PsyopCinema http://psyop-cinema.com/ https://linktr.ee/psyopcinema thomas-psyopcinema@protonmail.com brett-psyopcinema@protonmail.com
