We dive deep into the Prime Video series "Cocaine Quarterback" about Owen Hansen, a USC walk-on who became the team's steroid supplier and eventually a major money launderer for the Sinaloa Cartel.

Lightyear got banned across the Muslim world, quietly bombed at the box office, and somehow nobody's asking why Disney made it in the first place.

Bob's Burgers was pitched as a show about a family secretly serving human flesh, and the movie never actually disproves it. We talk about the Bob's Burgers Movie and find it's loaded with dark esoteric DNA, from the cannibal origin story that Fox quietly buried to the Epstein-flavored secret society running Wonder Wharf from underground. It's a kids cartoon about a struggling burger joint, sure. I...

Matt and Paranoid American break down Disney's Encanto through the lens of Project Monarch, MK Ultra, and Fritz Springmeyer's 13 Illuminati bloodlines — and the parallels are impossible to ignore. From Mirabel's butterfly-covered clothing and the shattered jade shards of Bruno's prophec...

Join Paranoid American and Sean Chris as they dive into "In Search of the Edge," a Canadian film that was supposed to debunk flat earth theory through satire but ended up being so deadpan serious that viewers can't tell it's fake. What's mind-blowing is how every argument presented in this 1990 mockumentary is identical to claims made by flat earthers today, making you wonder who influenced whom.

G.I. Joe was basically MK Ultra with a theme song and a toy line. In this episode, we break down the G.I.

Disney's most forgettable film hides its most disturbing occult blueprint — and almost nobody noticed.
