Psyop Cinema is a podcast about the film industry and its intimate connections to mass manipulation, conspiracy, and the occult. Hosts Thomas Millary and Brett Carollo explore film from a deep politics perspective, demonstrating how the artistry of cinema combines with psychological and technological knowledge to engineer culture in subtle (and sometimes not-so-subtle) ways— making each of us the subject of the greatest mind control experiment in history.

Talk Radio (Oliver Stone 5)
Continuing our Oliver Stone series, we analyze the psy-ops within his 1988 film Talk Radio. Starring and co-written by Eric Bogossian, this film is strangely out of place in this era of Stone's filmography, and we discuss why Stone was led to direct such an unusually impersonal film. Based in large part on the career and assassination of liberal shock jock Alan Berg, the film gives us occasion to
The Manchurian Candidate, with William Ramsey
Brett and Thomas have William Ramsey on to discuss The Manchurian Candidate, one of the most iconic cinematic depictions of mind control.

Other topics of discussion include the deep political context behind this film and similar movies and the strangeness surrounding the JFK assassination and other key events from that time
Wall Street (Oliver Stone 4)
With Wall Street (1987), Oliver Stone continues both his search for the figure of the "good father" and his consideration of the legacy of 1960s idealism, this time through a critique of 1980s economic greed. We discuss those themes and how the movie is largely a limited hangout, with Gordon Gekko functioning as a fall guy for the true money power. Finally, we note a surprising amount of 9/11 pred
True Detective Season 3, with Steven DeLay
Thomas and Steven return to True Detective, analyzing season 3, where the series goes full psyop.

Enemy of the State, with Steven DeLay (Surveillance Cinema 1)
Brett, Thomas, and Steven have a comprehensive discussion of the 1998 Tony Scott film Enemy of the State, a movie with an underrated amount of conspiratorial significance.

We have one of our mos
Joker: Folie à Deux
Our long-awaited analysis of Joker: Folie à Deux, a film so sadistic that even mainstream critics noted its contempt for its audience. In one of the ultimate exercises in Hollywood hypocrisy, the movie seeks to reinforce the psy-op of the 2019 film while simultaneously morally condemning the audience for falling for that psy-op. We analyze the movie's demonological subtext and discuss how Folie à
Angel Heart, with Sean McCann and Hans Utter
Brett and Thomas are joined by Sean McCann and Dr. Hans Utter for a deep dive into Angel Heart, a mystery horror movie released in 1987, directed by Alan Parker and starring Mickey Rourke and Robert De Niro.

Song to Song, with Steven DeLay (Malick 8)
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.

First Reformed
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
Oppenheimer (Nolan 5)
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
Taxi Driver
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
The Bourne Identity, Supremacy, and Ultimatum (on Chant It Down)

Leave the World Behind (on William Ramsey Investigates)
We and Sean McCann joined William Ramsey for a discussion about the recent Obama-produced apocalyptic thriller Leave the World Behind.

Blade Runner 2049
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 per
The Albertini Tapes (on Wake the Dead)
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.

Blade Runner
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 stand

Halloween (2018), Halloween Kills, and Halloween Ends, with Geoff Shullenberger
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 appro
Halloween III: Season of the Witch, with Sean McCann
We continue through the Halloween franchise, this time joined by Sean McCann to discuss the strange cult classic Halloween III: Season of the Witch.

Morbin' Time (Jared Leto 6)
Our Leto series takes us to the infamous 2022 film Morbius. Like Leto's career, Morbius is a highly synthetic product, a strange blend of ideas and images from earlier movies in the superhero genre.

The Little Things (Jared Leto 5)
We sift through more serial killer misdirection as we analyze The Little Things, an enigmatic thriller starring Denzel Washington and Jared Leto. All the usual themes of religious engineering and hints of the realities of Programmed to Kill conspiracies are present.

Suicide Squad (Jared Leto 4)
Suicide Squad is an especially important entry in our series on Jared Leto, given that his performance as the Joker is the reason we've been taking such a close look at his hyper-sus career.

Mr. Nobody (Jared Leto 3)
Next up in our Jared Leto series is Mr. Nobody, a 2009 sci-fi drama that thinks it's far smarter than it is. It fits perfectly within Leto's ultra-sus career, containing apocalypse programming, omega programming, and divine child themes.
