The concluding episode of our series with Steven DeLay on the films of Terrence Malick. Thomas gives a speculative explanation for why Voyage of Time (2016) was so unwatchably bad. We have an extended discussion about the beautiful depiction of Christian martyrdom in Malick's 2019 film A Hidden Life, which portrays the life of Franz Jägerstätter, a conscientious objector under the Nazi regime. Brett (rejoining the Malick series for the first time since the initial three episodes) gives his opinion on some of the films that Thomas and Steven have analyzed in recent entries. Finally, we talk about our overall impression of Malick's work and career and give our picks for his best and worst films (in terms of both themes and craftsmanship).

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.

We joined our friend Jay Dyer on his show for a discussion about three films that deal with trauma-based mind control designed to cultivate psychical powers, particularly in children. Breaking down De Palma's The Fury, Cronenberg's Scanners, and Mark L. Lester's Firestarter, we talk about theta programming, the real history of government-sponsored psychical research, and the occult ideology that drives such experimentation. Films such as these program their audiences to venerate mutants and crave the catharsis of seeing their powers unleashed.

Jasun Horsley joins us for a conversation about his book Big Mother: The Technological Body of Evil, which analyzes the Satanic techniques that converge upon the human body in the modern world. Topics of discussion include how the Wachowskis' red pill turned blue, the significance of the COVID-19 pandemic, how the occult divine child relates to Big Mother, some disagreements about Satan, and whether Sam Harris has more children in his basement than Ted Bundy.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
