An evergreen topic - is God real? More specifically is the historical Jesus Christ as an actual personification of God real? Like REALLY real? (No astrology or we-are-one stuff) If you saw our Zeitgeist review (here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z8QB-hPXeZg) then you already know about the gnostic concept that Christ is just an astro-theological mnemonic device. This documentary takes that smal...

Why are we building boring, simplistic buildings that barely last a century, when there are countless structures that have remained standing for thousands of years?

We break down JFK to 9/11: Everything Is a Rich Mans Trick, the 3.5 hour documentary that connects every major conspiracy from the 20th century.

In this off-the-rails review, we dive into the 2009 documentary “The Wild and Wonderful Whites of West Virginia,” directed by Julien Nitzberg, which shadows the notorious White family of Boone County over the course of a year. From mountain dance floors to drug deals, shoot-outs to hospital beds. The film doesn’t pull punches on poverty, addiction, outlaw culture, and a dying coal-country legacy,...

This four part documentary examines the physical evidence that proves Lee Harvey Oswald could not have acted alone.

Winnie the Pooh is as harmless as a character can be. But that's because it's meant to be the polar opposite of the darkest shades of human experience. From combat related PTSD to children's stories, we get deep and dark on this episode of Occult Disney.

Frozen is one of the most popular Disney movies of all time, with a franchise total of 2.4+ billion made. It's also a complete inversion of the original story (typical for Disney), which portrays the bad guys (trolls, Hans) as the good guys. It's a demonization of magic and puberty. It might also be related to Tarzan and Tangled. All of this and more in this episode of Occult Disney with special g...

In this episode, we dissect Disney's 2013 attempt to weaponize Wizard of Oz nostalgia with "Oz the Great and Powerful," a $215 million fever dream that somehow looks worse than the 1939 original.

Des...
