welcome, How are y'all doing? No Jamie tonight Jamie wasn't feeling it.
I told her we had the Dagon liturgy tonight Dagon vespers and she said she
didn't feel like it, so she's not she's not doing her Dagon service like
she's supposed to. So it's just old me. It's a little oldie,
but many of you are used to that. We're alone together hashtag alone together
hash this is my wings are sprouting and I'm gonna fly off in terms of
the virtues of my soul. I will fly away. Oh glory a fly.
We're we're not die hallelu you by and by ha ha we're ha ha
We're oh ha we're If you would hit like and share. Are you ready
for Lovecraft? I don't know how we haven't covered Lovecraft yet, but we
haven't somehow, and here we are. I read a book about Lovecraft many
years ago, and it kind of got into some of the esoteric elements and
the necronomicon and all that kind of stuff, which I do not believe is
real. Actually did read the so called necronomicon that came out from was it?
Simon and Schuster put out a so called necronomicon from a few years ago.
Um, I just think that's that's obviously a made up thing, right
there? Is no real book from the mad Arab called the Necronomicon that invokes
the old ones. But it was kind of funny because it had like all
of these guttural invocations like a theuven tuven throat or whatever that is. Remember
when like really extreme spurgs, we're getting into tuven throat singing like five years
ago. What, by the way, thank you? Why are we got
super chats rolling in? You guys are really generous. Appreciate that. Did
you know dagon is in the Bible? Of course you knew that because we
haven't educated beautiful fast boy audience and two fast girls. There's literally two girls
in the audience, and if Jamie's not here, there's one. So basically
I'm just joking Rachel and Melissa. That's about the extent right now, I
said, isn't that the extent of the girls and the audience? So there's
three three females, Rachel, Jamie, Melissa, and if Jamie's gone,
then it's it's a sausage festival. Get up, Get up? Where is
everybody? It's Monday night? What is there to talk about? If it's
not day gone and love crap? By the way, did you know he
was a literal insult literally. Well, actually he did eventually have a lover.
He did have the kawitis he caught He did eventually catch kawaitas. But
this was a weird story where his lover woman had to had to basically make
him do it. Pretty crazy stuff, right, So I didn't really know
a lot of his background. I lived a little bit when I read a
book about his It was a book about his esoteric stuff basically, but I
knew he was basically an insull man. And if if you take a look
at the fella, well you can probably see one. I mean, he's
homely. Isn't even enough to describe this man. But part of the reason
he has that look, right, that aonon and there was a rumor that
he had a little bit of a little bit of keeping it in the family
in his background, and this might have then influenced his pattern of creeper secrets
in a family. That's an emerging pattern we will see in his stories.
Now, not every movie Tonight is a directly Lovecraft based story, because there's
not actually that many of those. There's a few, but I wanted to
focus Tonight on the heavily Lovecraft influenced movies. So a couple of the movies
are actual Lovecraft movies, the late early two thousand's Daygone. That was actually
pretty fun. It's pretty gross, but it's also fun. And the thing
with Lovecraft is that he's mainly known for being the ultimate horror influence. So
whether it's Stefan King or whether it's John Carpenter, I mean, you can't
escape the influence of Lovecraft in horror. So I thought it would be fun
to do a deep dive into the esoterics and the meanings and the symbols,
because there's quite a bit there. And I am not a huge Lovecraft fan,
so that's why it's sometimes it's interesting to do the things that you're not
used to. And even though I'm not a big Lovecraft fan, I can
go on a journey with you guys. Together we will do our own katabasis
to find and invoke the Old One Old One. I'm just the Cathulonic deities
from the Beyond. So we have a selection of movies. I did want
to talk about Dagon first because Dagon, of course, is a biblical thing
and I was just rereading the Book of Judges, as you guys might have
known I mentioned I think a few weeks ago. Not only do we have
multiple references to the Triad in Judges, we also have the wild story of
Sampson. And if you remember, Samson is in there fighting against the Philistines
and they worship a Dagon. Dagon is this fish guide? Did you know
that? And that will be apparent in a lot of these. He's a
you know, he comes from New England, so he's by the sea and
there's a lot of this fish god stuff going on. Right, But if
you've never seen the movie Dagon, I recommend it. It's it's bizarre.
So maybe I can pull up the original trailer here. Again, Remember there's
not that many film adaptations of his films, right, So there's Dagon,
which is too When is this nineteen two thousand, two thousand and two or
three? And this one is pretty good? This is the story I have
read, So I've read one story. This one I did Stuart Gordon.
This is classic like Cornball, you know, Full Moon video is Stuart Gordon
type stuff. So he's done a few of these Lovecraft adaptations. But you
have the Shipwrack, you have the cult, and the one good thing about
the story that I did, like, is that in no, right it
is? It's not very long, it's a it's an easy read, you
know, fifteen minutes or something. And basically, this guy who's a morphin
adict this writing of his last experience on this island to write with this sheafish
coult basically, well, I mean in the in the movie they make it
a sheat fish Colt. But the weird part was that he's baptized in black
goo. I thought that was weird, right, So that I wasn't expecting
in this story because in the Black you have this uh you know, goo
substance when he is shipwrecked and he arrives on the landmass and he's covered in
black goo. So is this, like the is this the first instance of
black goot in literature? Is it supposed to be oil? You have a
recurring theme in horror films, right of the semi sentient black goo, from
X Files to a million other other horror movies. Jamie and I did a
whole podcast on this kind of stuff. But in Daygone the story, these
elements are present, and eventually the island of the Dad, which is said
to have this monolith that is covered in hieroglyphics. The first reference that's interesting
in this story is to Milton. And if you've seen the shows that we've
done Baselt Analyzer, right, it's like there's the Paradise Losses constantly referenced and
Lovecraft references because it says I've come to Satan's kingdom, and he says like
I feel like Satan climbing into or down the mountain to his kingdom or something
like this. Right, So you get these Paradise loss references, and you
there's this giant monolith which is covered with the hieroglyphics of the fish people,
and then he ends up, of course, the victim of this cult fun
story, and the movie is a pretty good adaptation to that. So let's
get into the movie because we're here to mainly talk about movies. So Daygone
is, as I said two thousand and one, if you remember, you
have to all seeing eye, which is the whatever company made this intentionally chose
the Alds thing eye. So there is this fascination, I think, with
a lot of directors and companies and writers to see Lovecraft as this occult figure.
But in Lovecraft's own life, he apparently adopted atheism at one point,
So I don't know. Yes, Milton's partyslist, so I don't know if
he died as an atheist. But I do always find it strange, which
we'll get to when we get to the Dunwich Horror is the references to weird
cobbalistic stuff. So we'll see that here in a minute. But I can't
even readmail notes. So this one is a story about greed and party were
some of the film here the story Stuart Gordon film. But it is an
esoteric order of the of Dagon. Right, there's the esoteric order of Dagone.
It's a human sacrifice cult and it's a fish god. And why do
they worship the fish god? Well, let's look at Daygone and see what
the what the ocean gave us? Right, what does the ocean give as
a kind of deity? Because I think that will be part of the key.
And I wonder why, why why do the Philistines worship Daygon? So
I have a classic summary here. I'll read really quick from the Fawcett's Bible
Dictionary, which is an old school classic theologa dictionary, Bible dictionary. It
says that Daygone it derives from dog and fish. So fish dog, fish
dog. This sounds like a cart like a weird cartoon Network cartoon, right,
fish dog the male god to which out our goddess corresponds and is mentioned
in second maccabe's. I didn't I didn't actually recall that this was in second
Maccabie's The body and fish tail worshiped at Hiropolis and Escalon, which I think
that's the Philistine, right, Philistines of Escalon. The mermaid is actually derived
from Dagon. And by the way, in the movie, this shake is
a mermaid, right, doesn't She actually looks like at one point the logo
of Starbucks, right, because y'all know the logo logo of Starbucks is you
know, that's the fish goddess, you know, getting frisky, right,
y'all know that, right, But she's got fish tentacle legs. Dagon has
derived also from this Phoenician idol. She answers to the Greek aphrodite, the
divine principle supposed to produce the seeds of all the living things from the moisture.
So perhaps then that's why this is logos ermaticos, right, she corresponds
to the logos vermaticos. She's the matrix of the womb, so to speak,
the goddess. Twice a year, the water is brought from distant places
important to a chasm. Blah blah blah. But it says Dago, Dago,
not Dago, not a Dago pimp. Dagon was the rational god of
the Philistines, national god. Excuse me, it's a very tiny text.
His temples were at Gaza and Ashdod, according to First Samuel, which if
you remember, in the Book of Samuel, Dagon is the idol that's worship
by the Philistines. And when they steal the arc, Dagon keeps falling over
in front of the arc, which shows the deference to the true God of
Israel. Right. The temple of Dagon, which Sampson eventually destroys, is
probably a Turkish chios probably resemble a Turkish kiosk, a spacious haul with a
roof and a front upper four columns. Blah blah blah. The Philistines and
chief men celebrated this sacrificial meal there whilst people assembled above and upon this balustrated
roof the half man, half fish form of Dagon found at I can't read
that word. Something some weird city was natural to the maritime coast of its
dwellers. They seamlessly joined the human form to the divine beast that perishes to
symbolize nature's vivifying power through water. So basically, Dagon's the water god,
right, So this association with water maybe also some primitive kind of form of
Neptune or something like that. I mean, I'm just speculating. He does
kind of look like Neptune and some of these drawings of Dagon because he looks
like he doesn't have the tried it, but he's got like a weird hat,
and you know, he's got fish parts. And by the way,
this comes up in this movie, right because when the poor seduced soul here
ends up on this Colt island, he thinks he's gonna get lucky. And
you know, this girl's not too bad looking, but she's got fish parts.
So that's pretty much a deal breaker. Right now. I know some
of y'all nasty people that you wouldn't even care, but that's because you're nasty.
But I think for most of us rational human beings, that's a deal
breaker. So no fish parts and she's not having it though, right,
She's like, I still want you you are still with me, and if
you, I don't want it to spoil the movie, but I'm gonna spoil
the movie. She ends up getting him into the cult, so basically he
becomes, you know, kind of half fishman. Now, another element to
this, which is just typical and biblical symbology and theology, is the the
likening of human beings to beasts. And in Scripture, the lining to a
beast is what happens as a result of living in a wicked, idolatrous way,
right, you become more and more beastly. And in part I think
that's partly the motivation for why the gods of the nations that are worshiped in
Scripture or in ancient Egypt or whatever, like, they're they're hybrids, right,
they're half human half they're dog headed, they're pig headed or whatever.
And that animal blending has to do symbolically with number one. It represents the
demonic, obviously, because unclean animals in the Old Testament represent the demonic.
Every unclean bird in the Book of Revelation, for example, is a reference
to the unclean animals and the bidicus, which in Revelation the unclean birds are
called demons. So we know that's a key indicator of how to understand these
birds and these creeping things and the ones that feed on carcasses, right,
those kinds of animals. But there's another element too, which is the intention
of blending and mixing improper things. Right. So this idea of a fish
headed man or a you know, a fish bootied woman. That's gross,
but it's also intentionally blending the things that are not supposed to be blended.
Right. There are boundaries delineations between not just species, but different types of
beings. Right. I think about Jude when Jude castigates the angels for going
after the females, citing Genesis six. This is going beyond the natural delineations
of that kind of being, mixing kinds that shouldn't be mixed. So it's
a mark of a lot of paganism, and not everything, but a lot
of pagan idolatry and this kind of you know, ancient world religion stuff that
you'll see the blending of man and beast. Just again, think of Egyptian
symbology and Egyptian hieroglyphics and the Steele's of Egypt, this kind of stuff that's
making this point by the way, I think you have those super super chats
much appreciated. We're down on Dagon tonight. Did y'all go to the Dagon
Liturgy this last weekend? Some of y'all did, because we got a few,
We got a few damn Heathens and Pagans in the audience, and y'all
was out there at the day of the Dagon Liturgy. Y'all was out there
at the damn Daygon liturgy, which you bought Deantrius over there over there at
the Daygon Liturgy. As the Avon might say, well, you shouldn't have
been going to that church. That's the wrong church. I can tell you
that last point that I wanted to mention about. Oh, by the way,
if you don't know the when Sampson pulls down the pillars and it collapses,
that is a type of Christ pulling down the pillars of Hades. If
you didn't know that, in the typology of the descent in Heroin of Hades,
and Sampson is in many ways the type of Christ. By the way,
if you didn't know that, now, let's see what else is going
on here. The last section I want to read about Dagon that's neat is
that it says the Hindus worshiped. I can't read this. It looks like
Fishna Krishna instead of Christiana's Fishna. I can't read it actually looks like it
says Fishna, but it's not so. The Hindu equivalent of Dagon is Fishna
instead of Krishna. The Babylonian Odakon. In the doorway of synoc Rib's palace,
there is a bas relief with representations of Dagon with the body of a
fish, but under the fish's head is a man's head, and the tail
is women's feet joined to the tail. So he kind of sounds like he
might have both parts. Does that make sense? When I knew my scowl
over the reading glasses, y'all know what I mean? Both parts interesting.
In First Samuel four, when you see the falling over of Dagon's head,
it says, excuse me, the falling over Dagon his head falling. The
cutting off of Dagon's head and hands when it falls before Jehovah's arc and is
therefore lying on the threshold, prefigures the ultimate cutting off of all idols mentioned
in the Great Day of Jehovah and Isaiah two eleven to twenty two Beth Dagon
in Judah is another and another in Asher. According to Joshua fifteen forty one
and Joshua nineteen twenty seven, show the wide extension of the worship of Dagon.
His temple in Felicia fastened up, fastened ups. I can't read the
Saul's head. That doesn't make any sense. In his temple, Oh,
in Saul Saul the apostle, not Paul. In his temple, the Philistines
fastened up. Oh. When Saul killed himself and the Philistines took Saul's body,
they cut his head off and they stuck his head in First Chronicles ten
in the temple of Dagon. That's right, because they were honoring Dagon giving
them the head of salt. And remember David cuts off Goliath's head. Goliath
is also a Philistine. So the removing of a head is not just it's
just sort of a barbaric, you know, war thing. It's symbolic,
and you'll find it symbolic, not just in scripture or in battle in ancient
history. It's symbolic in literature too. There's a lot of places in literature
where people have the removal of the head is symbolic of the removing of the
dynasty, like the next person the King, the death of the King,
and in one of the movies tonight we'll see that with the death of the
King. So I hope you enjoyed the four Foura into the actual history of
Dagon. But I think that his turning into atheism, it's probably why he
focused so heavily on all of these biblical deities. I don't think. I
think he had some kind of protest loose Protestant connection, but he was not,
to my knowledge really like he was opposed to Catholic Like he was anti
Catholic. I knew that, and anti you know other religions will say.
And he had some um, you know, he made fun of people.
Let's put it that way. He made fun of people in other communities,
so to speak. If you know what I'm trying to say over here on
YouTube, can you figure it out? So that's the character now again.
But did he get into the occult and that kind of stuff later? I
don't know. I'm not a Lovecraft scholar, but I didn't. I mean,
maybe he was interested in the occult stuff, because he does put some
weird stuff in books that do seem to kind of hint at the occult,
right, thank you for those do I actually look kind of like I looked
in high school. So you're like, what's up with this long hair?
Well, I put a picture up explaining that I told my stylist in the
trailer today, give me the Manson and I got a gobble gebble goggles.
So you got a Manson haircut free a charge. I hope you enjoy it.
I hope you appreciate it, and you are good stewards of my hair
because you don't always get this with your content creators. So that's Daygone.
It's fun, but it's also gross and mucky. I mean there's a lot
of dang. I mean you basically the movie is like a chump. You're
inside of a chum bucket for the whole of a movie. I mean it's
gross like that. Right, They have psalms, They do a liturgy to
Daygone. You think I was joking. I don't know. There's a Daygone
liturgy. So you know, if you go into the Dagon Church, it's
time to become Orthodoxy. We find out that this Nerd, of course,
is chosen by this priestess of the Dagon cole right, and she's the one
that engineered everything to bring him there. And there was this The story is
that there was a famine at one point, I think in this island talent
or whatever. And many many years ago they made a pact with the god
of the sea, the devil of the sea, and so if he gave
them wealth, then they would worship Dagon. And they meet initially in an
old Daganism, and they faithfully keep the traditional Dagonite liturgy. They don't update
to the Dagon Nova sordo. They do the traditional Dagon liturgy faithfully, and
they chant to the God of the ocean yea ea ea eah. Oh they
over there singing nelly Okay, but that is what they chant. Uh.
And they have to do human sacrifice initially to make this pact to get paid
with that ocean ocean gold. Dude, they're getting puwed. They getting pewed.
What's that tough lesson? Well, when you make a pact with Dagon,
you might get a little blamed for a little while, but then when
you die, you become basically a fish zombie in the service of Dagon.
So was it worth? You know? What's uh? What's up rapper,
Gold all over my chain, Gold all over my watch. Don't believe me,
just watch right, Trinidad James basically made a deal with Daygone. Trinidad
James over there worshiping Daygone. It doesn't pay to worship, that's but the
messages don't worship Daygon. Right, we own that Sampson Bible were why you
got long hair? Because I'm like Sampson. That's one. I got that
Sampson look and if you cut it off, I'll be a woos But if
I have long hair, it's over Son. Get me an octagon with this
long hair, and see who lasts ten seconds in the octagon when I got
my long hair? Right, Daygone all over my watch. Don't believe me,
Just watch Thank you for those super cheddes. You guys are being generous
tonight. Do we have four hundred people that like love Craft? What looks
like it? Welcome, hit like and share? Move on, move on?
They say, move on, Move said Moby, Move said Moby to
the carnivore. There's a vegan coming through. What's up next? Well,
we're gonna go through this one quick because we've done it before. But it's
such a heavy Lovecraft influenced movie. We have to do it. And it's
also something that I overlooked in my earlier days of movie watching, because when
it came out, I didn't really get it out of said this is just
weird, and I wasn't super into John Carpenter yet, and now I do
like John Carpenter, and so when I found out, oh yeah, this
is actually super duper Lovecraft. Right, Lovecraft has a story called at the
Mountains of Madness. Right, Well, that's why the third of the Apocalypse
trilogy is called In the Mouth of Madness. Now, if you've never seen
In the Mouth of Madness, I recommend it. It is I'm trying to
work on us because it's it annoys me. I don't listen to my talks
when I do them, but I hear myself say uh, and I start
getting them own nerves, and I'm about to fire myself and then you'll get
a different altar in my head taken over, and who knows what you're gonna
get right in anyway, But this is a lot of fun. And who
could not enjoy John Carpenter movies nowadays? Right, of course, so we
got Sam Neil playing well, I won't say who's he's playing author. He's
basically Steve King. Okay, so that's the who this character is, the
preeminent Dean Koont's all right, Dean Coombs, Dean Coots or Dean Coombs.
So there's there's one for the memors to make. You want to make a
meme, make the Dean Coombs. But basically sam Neil is John Carpenter,
I mean, Samuel is Dean Coonts and Steve Kane and he's an author and
she's like trying to figure out, Okay, I want to write my next
you know, big horror novel that's going to revolutionize everything and everybody. And
his name is he goes into the pseudonym Sutter Kane, right, So who's
Cutter Cane. Oh, it's the pseudonym that he writes under. And it's
not a real person, we think, right, And so this book comes
out and by the way, I think it's one of Charlton Heston's last roles.
If I remember, I've got Charlton Heston there, Shutter Kane. Dig
gun is made of fish, dag gunn. There's made of fish? People?
Do you damn dirty fish? Right? Chuck Kane? I mean Chuck
Heston, y'all being generous tonight. Appreciate that. Chuck Heston, one of
his last roles, I think, is the literary agent, and he's like,
hey, you know, we're excited about your new book. This is
gonna be a killer. But things start getting weird, and they get weirder
and weirder and weirder. And I like this movie the more than I watch
it. The first time I watched it, I didn't like it, right,
I'm sorry, you're right, You're right. I had to had to
refresh myself because this one I haven't watched in a little while. Cyder Kane
is the author in Sam Neil is recruited to investigate what happened to him because
he's missing. So he's on the trail of it and I'm sure everybody you
all know, right, it's him, right, So he doesn't remember it
because he's become the vehicle for basically, you know, Cthulhu over there to
write his masterpiece. And yes, I've seen Nefarious. This has a nefarious
style element to it because if you've seen the movie that all the Evangelicals Are
God Got over, the Glennbeck movie Nefarious, there is a bit of a
sutter Kane element to it because the guy who's the psychiatrist becomes well inavertently,
the demon wants him to be the vehicle for his message to in the world,
the Dark Gospel it's called in the movie. In this we find out
that Sam Neil is on the trail, as we said of sutter Kane,
which it is ultimately find outs him, but he's realizing that he's part of
a story that's writing him and there's this demonic you know, from on entity
that's using him as we progress in the story, and he you know,
cuts up the book covers to find a map, and then the hobos start
going crazy. John Carpenter and his hobo demons, right, they're everywhere.
You can't watch John Carpenter movie without the hobo demons. By the way,
Glenn Beck put a hobo demon in his Nefarious movie, So David Lynch hobo
demons, you just can't get away from him. Right. They're wineos,
their own box cars, and they're chopping heads off and they got two pupils,
right, like this hobo demon here so things to people to start going
nuts basically, right, they're losing it. And it turns out that Sam
Neil, who has an altar identity as Sutter Cane, is actually initially aiding
the apocalypse. That's why it's part of the Apocalypse trilogy of John Carpenter.
But he's initiating it because he's written this book which is just too crazy.
It's just too evil, it's just too much. It's got too much Coonts
in it. Dean put too much coons in it, is what I'm trying
to say. And it's just going to end the world. Right, we
like hobo demons over Jamie and I always talk about hobo demons and when you
get around hoboes a lot of them. Unfortunately they do seem to have demons.
I'm not trying to be mean. I'm not a hobo hater. You
no hobo, well you know hoboo. I don't hate hobos, just stating
fact. Man that by the way, the double pupils, if you're wondering,
that signifies double personality, right alternate. So basically humans are getting possessed
on a mask. I'm starty to think maybe this book was written, maybe
maybe we are in Sutter Kane's novel, right, I mean, the world
is turning into Sutter Kane's novel basically because people are going everybody's a hobo demon,
now I want it. We were out in the pub in public at
the Zoo and Jamie and I were talking about the whole public looks like a
hobo demon. So maybe this is real, maybe that we're living in the
days of Sutter Kanes. But it's like The Ring is okay what we got
going there. So basically, you know, in The Ring, if you're
Naomi Watts's two Front Teeth and you watch the movie, then it's you're done
for right, You're cursed. Well, if you read the book, you're
cursed, and it's basically bringing about the apocalypse. The novel is thus the
portal for the old ones to enter, and so there's I think also,
yeah, there's kind of a Crowlean nod here because Crowley supposedly channeled the Book
of the Law and it was from I wass and it was gonna be the
final word of the end of the Aon and all this nonsense, right,
But in this story, it's his trilogy. It's it's the House of Leaves
trilogy, or maybe it's more than three books. It's a billion dollars horror
franchise. So it's basically there's a lot of coons in this Dean. It's
if you know what I mean, billion dollars franchise. More and more people
are dissociating when they read the book, so it's more than just a book.
It's an actual like demonic talisman. It turns out more and more people
are reading it bookstores or something people are busting into. Now we know this
is not the end of the world the way the world will really end because
nobody reads books. Okay, so you're not gonna have an apocalypse of people
reading a book because people don't read, because people have turned into hobo slow
boys, hobba slow boy, habba slaba, right to use the Russian for
hobo slow boy labba slava. The book not only is it being is it
basically I'm an inadvertent incantation to invoke the old ones through to this world.
It's the older ones are coming through when you read the book through the minds
of the people that read the book, and they get double pupils because they're
now possessed, you see, and it's creating a demon hive mind. And
Jamie said, this is like, basically, what if goose Bumps were the
end of the world. That's basic. Yeah, did you read your Goosebumps
books? Did you know? Did you know that basically a goose Bump went
in the world. That's what's going on here. We do see, by
the way, a square encompass that is flashed in one of the scenes.
I think when he's besieged by hobo demon Sam Neil. That is well,
when he's on the trail after the city basically goes ape shit crazy. He
decides he's gonna have to go track down Sutter Kane if you're out what's going
on? The Agency Literary Agency sends him and he goes to hobbs In because
it's a blast place that he was seen, which is some weird place in
New Hampshire. Again, more nods, I think to Lovecraft right, because
New England, right, and Steve Steve King, he's up there in Dairy,
New England, Stephen King, He's watch out, there's greasers and slow
boys and there's you know, Chuck Taylor's and a red balloon. Right.
That's like every Stephen King and Jamie and I were talking about the perfect Stephen
King movie would be a greaser slowboy that is a killer, but he's also
a savior. That's how Stephen King would do it. So there's a new
movie coming out, Boogeyman. Right, how many slowboys are going to be
in the Stephen King Boogeyman? Is the Boogeyman a slow boy, but he's
a lovable slowboy who secretly has an alternate personality inside of him that will also
save the day, you know, some kind of baloney like this. Anyway,
Eventually, as he's investigating at Hobb's end the world, insane people are
now the majority. There's an odd Saint Anthony quote right, that is reference.
Everybody knows the Saint Anthony meme. It's gone on the internet now for
five or six seven years now, right when the which is because and I
think it's actually referenced in this movie. So this movie was memeing that meme
before anybody else, which is pretty wild, is this one? Right?
Yep? Yeah? Can y'all see that? Now? You can't see that?
Did I have the check up that whole time? Or did y'all not
see her? Was she visible? Did y'all see the day going girl?
Or is it just me on my face whole time? Did I forget to
change it anyway. There is the Saint Anthony meme. Right, a time
is coming when people will go mad, and when they see somebody who is
not mad, they will attack him, saying, you are mad because you're
not like us. And that's actually reference. That's what's going on in this
movie. Basically everybody's going nuts. And we find out that he thinks he's
found sut or cane at this horrible city where it's just getting worse and worse
and worse. People are basically breaking out with hives and the zombie virus and
you know the kup and there is an Orthodox church, yes, and that
crazy. It's getting crazier. So here's you know, Sam Neil doing his
investigating at this place. Now I'll check this out. What does he see?
Look at that a giant? And I looked up this actual church and
I can't remember if it's a Uniate or Orthodox. But isn't it odd that
they chose that because it's just so played out you know in movies that issues
Roman Catholic churches, But for whatever reason, they chose an Orthodox church in
this And the guy that plays what's his name, he's he's the Paula trades
Dad, right, he is who we think is the author, but then
it turns out no, actually he's an alternate identity in the head of Sam
Neil. Okay, that makes sense. And he's written the book and there
you see the portal. The book is the portal for the entities to come
into the world. So you know, Steve King and Dean Koon's and R.
L. Stein, they're the magicians that write the magic ritual, the
book that then invokes and brings the entities into this world. That's the point
of this movie. And then of course it ends with Sam Neil in the
mental institute. And anytime in a movie you go into a mental institute,
you have to cover the place and crosses. Right, you can't have any
exposed surface first surface space that is not completely covered in crosses. That's just
that's just how it goes in the mental inst And sometimes you just even put
the mark or to your skin, cover yourself and crosses. I mean,
classic staples of Hollywood mental institutes. And it's all there, baby, So
long story short, by the way, who knows that the children are decaying,
which is a sign of the youth are now being corrupted corrupted. He
becomes the channel for the entity that tells him what to write, and we
find out this is a new Bible and now it will be a new evil
Bible for the future. There's also some sort of confession to the devil.
Eventually we find out the Sutter Cane books are more popular than the Bible.
There's a reference to I think therefore you are, so the entity thinks therefore
you are right. Not I think therefore I am Descartes, and not I
am that I am of God, but I think therefore you are. The
page is the portal the Abyss is opened. That is the point of this
here, right, because the entities they want to get into this world,
right, it just sucks over the abyss. Basically, it's this shitty man,
trust me, right, and so you want to get over here because
we got beaches, we got Charlton Heston, we got what do we got,
we got Sam Neil, we got ice cream. We've got a lot
of things that the Abyss doesn't have. So they want to get back over
here. But as you guys know, I'm sure you've all seen it,
the whole world basically dissociates and has a schizophrenic break, which seems to be
what Avistad wants to create. By the way, yes, sam Neil really
likes these kind of like lose your mind movies in Event Horizon, Yeah,
exactly. So the movie was able to capture the even the non readers because
a lot of people won't read the book, and so In the Mouth of
Mattis gets made into a movie, and we see the fifth wall broken,
the fourth wall broken when Sam Neil is crazy going crazy in the movie,
watching himself in the movie that we're watching. So it's like, whoa dude,
inception, right, meta inception, He's watching his own movie. And
then Kane reveals that Trent is one of the characters, and then we're supposed
to think, ah, you, dear watcher reader, are also a character.
You see, So a lot of interesting overlaps and playing with a lot
of different ideas of meta narratives and all that. It is a genuinely creepy
movie in parts if you go watch it. I mean it's corny in certain
areas, but I did. I remember seeing this movie in the theater and
it was a lot of fun, and it genuinely is still kind of creepy.
I think elements of it are. There's a lot of stuff that's corny.
I mean when he's running down that hallway because there's a hallway to the
Abyss by the way, if you didn't know, and then the goog the
goo goblins and sea creatures are chasing him, that part is pretty corny.
It's actually kind of funny. But yes, in the Mouth of Madness a
Lovecraft inspired adventure. Let's move on to the next one. Now, this
one I won't spend too much time on because it's not a whole lot in
it. But it was a fun movie. And it's a recent adaptation of
Lovecraftian things. And that is Sacrifice from twenty twenty one. And this is
a really well made independent indie horror movie, and it has all of the
indie horror twists, but it's still good. And they use a really interesting
where's my note to you filter the way it was I think a shot in
you know, some kind of like high super high deaf and I sometimes I
don't like that look. It doesn't look like a movie. But this one
I actually add some kind of weird aesthetic to the story. And there's a
lot of neon and a lot of Aurora borealis green that you know, make
for a very esthetically pleasing horror experience. So there you see baby Cuthulhu,
Baby's first Cuthulhu. Jamie said, because this guy, we find out.
If you're not seen sacrifice, I'll give you a rundown and we'll break down
a little bit of the symbolism. This old boy here has Nordic blood,
but he's growing up in the city. He's a city boy. He doesn't
know the old ways, right, and he's got this gal. She's pregnant,
newly pregnant, and his mom, who lives in the old Nordic country,
has passed away. And so he's like, all right, well,
let's go check out the house. I've inherited the house. Let's go see
it before we sell it, and let's make a little cash, right,
And she's like, okay, but as long as we can go back to
being a city city people. So one element of this movie is a little
annoying is the yeah, this is Cathula is the movies love to do this
thing where the city people are sophisticated and civilized and the country people are you
know, barbaric, cultish and slow boys basically, right, But everybody in
the city is virtuous and sophisticated and smart intellectual and okay, this is kind
of true. But guess what. The people in the city suck and the
people in the country suck. Oh what if I throw that one at you?
Throw you a curveball. Now, I'm not saying everybody in the country
sucks, but not everybody in the city sucks. But it is true.
And I can take you out here in the countryside of Tennessee and show you
some some funky people, and you don't want to spend time with those funky
people, And that's true, it does exist. But I can take you
into the city and I want to show you some funky people too, some
dang fentanil ze. Do you want to finanil zombie in the city or do
you want to mess zombie in the country? Which one you want? What
do you like? Who's more virtuous amongst the zombie class? Right? And
that's Them's the facts. But in movies they love to portray it like the
city people are just so virtuous in everybody in the country is a rube and
gross and we're all basically, you know, we got teeth, like uh,
you know, Lovecraft over here, right, we got we got a
a dang keeping it in the family jaw line, if you know what I
mean. That's that that's that you know banjo jaw line. They're an A
and a and a and a and aarn right, you got a deliverance jaw
line right there. By the way. There's some nasty people in the city
too, So you prefer the lake people. You could have city people,
or you have you have the lake Guess what. In the country lake people
are their own kind of thing, okay, because there's lakes around here,
and they're called lake rats. So in the countryside you got rednecks, there's
mountain people. They're all different types of weirdos. But there's the lake people
too, and they're the lake people. Could be a Lovecraft entity. I
could take you down to the lake and show you some lake people. Anyway,
This movie, by the way, has it's like a it's like a
B version of Midsomer But it actually is a pretty good movie. It's not
bad sacrifice that it is, right, So let's get back to that.
He's going back to his childhood home, and Jamie makes a great point that
he's not going there to he's going there to spawn, like the like the
sea creatures do, right, the sea creatures go back to their origins to
spawn, and he doesn't know it. But that's kind of what's going on
here, and he doesn't know as you guys can imagine, as is often
the case with human sacrifice cult movies, he's the cult sacrifice of course,
so spoiler alert, but you can probably figure that out from the name,
right, But there's some great misdirection in the movie because we don't know if
the sacrifice is going to be him, his wife, or the child.
And most of the time I think we think, oh, they're going to
sacrifice his child. No, No, it's a female priestess cult that is
dedicated to some sort of cathulonic deity in the water, and we don't I
don't think we ever see that thing. We just see a green glow,
which is pretty cool. I like that we don't see this thing that requires
him sacc but it's a green glow, right, and we have, of
course all the standard omens, and then we get just straight up cult activities,
right. I mean it's at this point you know, he should have
this should have been red flags. Okay, when you when everybody in your
village is, you know, invoking entities and doing robed baptisms that are in
no way canonical. This is the red Flax. But of course we can't
have a horror movie without ignoring red flax, and every red flag gets ignored,
even to the point where the cult utilizes a local indigenous Nordic woman to
seduce him and put him into mind control. Right, so he basically goes
into total mind control with this cult. They put him in the spell of
wanting to fit into his local tribe. So there's kind of a bit of
a left tint to this movie, right, because the wife keeps saying,
Oh, we need to go back to the city, We need to go
back to the city, and everybody in his village is like, no,
no, stay here and you will find community, stability, heritage, etc.
And we only almost get the impression that this gal is a mermaid.
I mean, I don't think it says that, but she she kind of
just comes at the ladies, she seduces him, and eventually he's like,
now I believe this stuff. He's a convert, dude. He repents and
converts to day gone oll Cathoola, excuse me, we're gonna do Underwater.
Yes, that was my next up movie with with Bella because Bella has to
end up fighting day Cathoola here in a minute. Anyway, long story short,
it's another human sacrifice movie. And I already covered dagon Um. I
love those movies that the whole town as a cult. Those are some of
my favorites. And that's that's what you get here. I do recommend it.
It is a fun trip. Bloodlines of the Cthula Nati exactly, that's
what this is about. That's his bloodline. Again. We have this family
has a deep, dark secret narrative and spoiler alert, the wife who tries
to eventually escape. We do have the black Good baptism. Also in this,
by the way, the wife tries to escape. No turns out she
is also a convert to the cult and the hobby is the sacrifice interesting the
city versus the country motif the aurora well you know that all. By the
way, there's also some connection with the Aurora borealis and the green glow because
the aurora Aurora borealis is glowing green. And then when he when he's dunked
and baptized into the cult, he sinks down and sort of has this beatific
vision of the green light, whatever that is. And he's fully initiated into
his family's heritage. And because the whole family, the whole village, by
the way, they like worship this family, right, So he's a bloodline
elite and he gets his head cut off, and so he ends up being
the sacrifice and they float his head out there or his body out there,
and they put his head in this what they call a tupole. And I
forgot to look and see if that's a real thing or a made up thing,
but it looks like some sort of folk magic. There you go.
That's what a tupac is. Tupac shakur. Well, how did I get
no Google? I don't want tupac. I want tupolec And maybe I spell
it wrong, maybe it as okay, I don't know. I don't know
if that's really or not tupelo tupoliak kubiak. We're throwing out obscure references here,
right. Nobody under forty thirty five gets those references because we're talking.
Parker Lewis can't lose tonight anyway, y'all feel me. I don't know how
we fluctuated from three hundred and fifty to five hundred people, So was there
something about this is literally just drove one hundred and fifty people away. There's
one hundred and fifty people that were just like, no, if he's gonna
talk about sacrifice, I'm out of here. Next up, y'all a fun
one. And you know I was gonna do it Cabin in the Woods.
Now we've not done Cabin in the Woods. Can you believe it? And
you would think we would have because Cabin in the Woods is totally up the
alley of what we talk about over here, and Cabin in the Woods is
a satire of horror. Obviously, Joss Whedon does intend pretty consistently actually include
conspiratorial themes and a lot of his screenplays. And we saw this when Jamie
and I did our Buffy Analysis, which by the way, is a great
podcast if you've not seen our Buffy Analysis, we went pretty deep on it,
and there's a lot more going on in Buffy the Vampire Slayer than you
would expect, believe it or not. And that was Josh Sweden getting his
start. I'm not advocating for his politics. Everybody always has like, oh,
you know, he's lift I know that you think I don't know that.
It's like, immediately when a name comes up, the no it alls
have to tell you everything that you already know. We know that, dude,
Come on, we know that. We know that. Oh y'all haven't
seen Cabin in the Woods. What the heck? What's going on with ya?
Look going on with yo? Now, I do have a good analysis
of this have to say, so I will refer a little bit to mine
my analysis. By the way, welcome everybody, if you would hit like
and share. We're having fun tonight as we delve deep into Lovecraft themed movies.
Our next one is Cabin in the Woods, a twenty eleven Joss Whedon
film. But I'll give you a little bit of a image here you can
see what's going on. So basically, we have the college archetypes, right.
This, this is the archetypes of the people in a horror movie who
go into the horror narrative willingly. And this is tongue in cheap because the
characters are pretty much knowingly and explaining themselves as horror archetypes. Right. And
we've seen this before. This is nothing new. You couldn't have Cabin in
the Woods without scream right, shout out to Randy Meeks. So basically we're
doing a little bit of Randy Meeks tonight. We're playing the part of Randy
Meeks. You'll know who Randy Meeks is, right, that's Jamie Kennedy.
And if you've not, surely you've seen Randy Meeks, right, because Randy
explains horror too and how to survive horror scenes. Right. And by the
way, we will be doing a comedy show in Hollywood. Get your tickets
now if you're not there. Jamie is the headliner. Jamie Kennedy as in
Randy Meeks Scream Jamie Kennedy. There's the tickets right there. You can't beat
that. But do you remember this scene where he explains to you the horror
archetypes. You couldn't have cabin in the was without this here. Oh yeah,
predictable. I knew he was gonna buy it. She never showed her
tits until she went legits could have afford a decent hair. Here's Randy explaining
the horror tropes right now. This is nineteen ninety six. There are certain
rules. Number one, you can never have sex. There you go,
there's a link you can go watch that Randy meeks and scream giving you the
tropes and the rules, and we have a play on this in Cavin in
the Woods where we have the rules, the lessons, the archetypes, the
patterns. But this one gets even crazier because it's not the conspiracy that you
think it is. It starts with the idea that we just have teens or
excuse me, freshman sophomore college kids being messed with. So we think,
oh, there's a giant government conspiracy because we initially see government workers in the
underground base and they basically have an underground NSA facility that is spying on,
surveilling, harassing, mind controlling, drugging these people without their knowledge by design.
But we don't know why. But you'll notice that it is an occult
government, which is interesting because you don't you don't know what's going on.
You just see what There's these nonchalant, sort of psychopathic government workers and they
seem to be arranging and surveilling these poor college kids. What the heck is
going on? Right? It's a totally synthetic environment, we find out,
and we have immediately the notions of panopticism. Everything has surveiled, everything is
watched and controlled, and it's even intentionally using the horror archetypes, archetypes and
tropes. Now the Frankrans guy, who is the stoner guy essentially because he
is the archetype of the fool. If you don't know your archetypes, the
full archetype is the character, the com the comedian, the full comedian archetype.
He's able to speak the truth. He's able to, in the art
symbology, be the character that says, as a kind of a Cassandra right,
what's true, and no one listens to him. So there's the Cassandra
prophecy curse that you can know all the mysteries and know the truth, but
nobody, nobody listens. And so fran Krans the humorous stoner guy, who
is the archetype of the stoner character, which is kind of funny because he
violates the rules of horror that Randy Meeks sets out because you can't drink and
smoke and engage in but you can't catch the cohitis in horror movies because you're
gone. Because if you remember, horror movies operate on the kind of quasi
Christian idea that if you commit the vices you are opening the gateway, you're
making a pact in a way with evil, You're opening those doors. So
it's kind of ironic that the stoner character in this film is the one who
begins to notice things. And the first thing that we notice it's odd,
is that when they're on their way to the event excuse me, to the
cabin in the woods, the stoner character, fran Kranz, says, have
you guys noticed that cell phones are everywhere? It's almost like they're tracking and
tracing us. And he says, eventually, they're going to start putting these
things in our heads. So he immediately throws out the microhip in the head
and you're like, wait, wait a minute, what the heck? Yes,
he says this. He says that they're gonna put it in kids heads
even and track the kids. And everybody says, oh, you're just the
dumb stoner, right, You're just the stoner conspiracy man ten fool head man.
Nah, dude, they're doing it. Then we get the puppet master's
speech, and that one's interesting because as he starts to notice what's going on
that's weird in this weekend, as things get bizarre, people start acting strange.
It's because they're drugged, and the girls draw. The preppy chick is
drugged by her hair dye. So the Deep State dyed her hair dye or
excuse me, poison her hair dye, and they put pheromones in it to
make her go nuts. And he's over there watching this. He notices these
patterns, and he says, you know, have you have you? Are
you guys not noticing all these patterns. He's a pattern he's a noticer.
And then he says, it's almost like there's puppeteers that are watching us,
controlling us, causing us to do things. And they're like, ah,
you're just too stoned. You've been spoken too much. It's your paranoia.
But it turns out he's correct. Things get weirder and they get weirder,
and the crew, it's the weird part of those is not voluntary. It's
it's the environment is controlled to lead them into their voluntary acceptance of pact with
evil, and they choose the redneck zombie narrative unfortunately accidentally, and they let
loose these hordes of entities. And here's all the NSA Deep State underground operatives
cheering because they have fantasy football stall bets on who will do what and how
they will die. Well, it turns out that this is all a pact
that humankind has made through the elites with the Old Ones. The Old Ones
are the giant Titans of Old who live somewhere in the hollow Earth, and
they require human sacrifice. They require the blood of humans to keep them chill.
They are a kind of Satanic elite, then embodied in the figure of
the humans in the figure at the end of Sigourney Weaver. So Sigourney we
replaced the essentially the satanic elite that runs the Shadow Government, which has made
a deal with the Ananochi, the giants who inhabit the lower parts of the
earth, that they will not destroy the earth if they get human sacrifices.
But the human sacrifices have to be of a certain type and of certain virtues.
And so the you know, redheaded girl is supposed to be the virgin,
it turns out she's not, because again this is a this is kind
of a comedy, right, And it turns out else I'm assuming everybody's seen
it, right, that it's the Book of Enich. How's the Book of
Enich? Well, in the Book of Enoch, when the giants are on
the earth and they start demanding human sacrifice, right they This is primarily why
they're punished, right, these offspring, because they demand human sacrifice and the
worship of humans, and this becomes a rival to the worship of the true
God. And this is what, according to the account of the Book of
Enoch and Jude, brings the flood. God floods the world because these titans
are running things and they're they're just bad news. And so it turns out
that the Satanic elite have had to make this pact so that Earth doesn't get
destroyed. And so it's just interesting that it seems in the Lovecraft inspired horror
that we have this notion of blood. Sacrifice is necessary. The life is
in the blood, Leviticus says. And this, of course, in the
Orthodox view, is why the Eucharist is really the fulfillment in the truest sense
of this. I'm not saying that human sacrifice was ever good or ever could
help you or aid you. It's a demonic practice, but the fundamental idea
of their being power and uncreated life, immortality in the blood is the meaning
of both Leviticus the Mosaic Covenant. The animal sacrifices, that's what their purpose
was to point to the fulfillment and the end of that in Christ. Now,
even the sacrifice of Abraham, right that when Abraham offers Isaac, the
point of that story is actually against human sacrifice because God says that. The
point of the text is that that's not the kind of sacrifice that God requires.
And it's not the case that there's some sort of infinite debt payment that
God had to kill his son to pay a debt that he owed to himself.
Right, that's a Protestant view of this. It's not the Orthodox view
anyway, So you get the idea, right, It's basically the Book of
Enich and the Giants of Many. Human sacrifice is applied to film, and
that is actually what the Book of Enich says. If you didn't know that,
So if you read the whole text, it says that they were roaming
the earth and requiring human sacrifice into me. This makes sense because in at
least three paces places in the Duro Canon it references the Titans as actual giants.
So if we do believe in the Duro canon, if it's part of
our canterscripture, which it is. Then that's the way that we ought to
interpret Genesis six, not as symbols of powerful people. I do think that
the powerful men of old were you know, somebody like Hercules. That actually
sounds, by the way, like the story of Sampson if you ask me.
But you know, if there was a figure that was a you know,
a Nimrod, right, Nimrod was a powerful man who wanted to be
worshiped as God. Sure. Yeah, but there's also this story of the
Titans and the story of the Giants, and I wouldn't be surprised if you
know, there's not truth to that, that the Biblical story of giants,
if it's not been covered up, maybe even in archaeology. I mean,
I don't have any proof of this, but I've wondered, like, what
if the Smithsonian's job is to just cover up biblical archaeology, Right, wouldn't
it be wild? I could see that being the case basically. Right,
All right, let's move on to our next one, which was not that
good of a movie, but it did it did have some interesting elements,
and it's probably one of the first Dean Stockwell films. The Dunwich horror,
which is a Lovecraft story. By the way, thank you guys. I'll
read a couple of super chats here in a second. She go ahead and
read some, because we've gotten a good ways into tonight's foray into Lovecraft.
Lovecraft. We got super chats out the wazoo from well I missed, so
somebody sent one while I was gone. Not an expert. I like that
humility in that name. Since three dollars, he says, thank you,
Jay, you helped me towards orthodoxy. That's great to hear. I see
how much of the world is fake and great. Well, that's good.
That's exactly definitely part of the process, right is seeing that the world is
fake and gray. So hopefully you have found an Orthodox church. By the
way, find a canonical Orthodox church such as row Court Serbian Antiochian if you're
looking for a church. Co cost co law school. Three dollars Jay,
A friend of mine asked where the theory is that the illuminate confirm requires them
to inform their victims of what they are doing. So, I don't know
if any occult writers actually say this, but it's kind of like in Cabin
in the Woods. The theme of that movie is that if you are willing
to do this, this actually maybe charge, maybe charge, you're willfully going
along with this, and so all of your energy is put into this,
and that's different than if it was just in other words, it's a greater
sacrifice. It's more evil even because you've convinced the person. You haven't just
tricked them, you've convinced them to be evil. And that's kind of the
point of Cavin the Woods, because if you remember, all of the creatures
from horror movies are demons that are housed in underneath, in the underground base,
and they're let loose when they're needed, you see, for the human
sacrifice. That makes sense because the Titans and the demons work together, is
the story. But that's a great question, and the answer is that would
be my guest. But I don't actually know that. If there's any place
where anybody specifically says this, somebody said, you said that, are there
karmic implications from this? I didn't know the answer. Well, I don't
believe in karma, so but people that have this worldview might believe that it
makes the sacrifice more powerful, would be my guest. Adam nineteen twelve.
Since twenty bucks. Hey, thank you, Adam nineteen twelve. I don't
recognize that name. It seems like a new name. I'm glad to have
you over here. Are long time super chatter and supporter j mel since forty
dollars. Do you speed read? No? In fact, I am a
very slow reader, so a lot of people assume that I'm speed reading through
all these books. No. It takes me a long time and I read
really slow. But the advantage of that is that I do retain a lot
of the information, so that's the positive side to it. How do you
consume so many books? I just always have books with me at all times,
right, I'm always reading, always engaged in working through usually multiple books
at once. Right so I think right now I'll have seven or eight books
that I'm trying to work through right now, so, you know, trying
to finish up the Patrick Wood Anthony Sutton book so you can move on to
some other books. Right. So, But unfortunately I don't have any great
methist to tell you guys or creates or life hacks. You just have to
do it all the time. So that would be my suggestion to just get
more discipline and get to where you feel the way like if I don't have
a book and a pen, like I feel like I need those things in
my hand, so they kind of become second nature. DC Customs five dollars,
no question, I just love the content. Best to you and Jamie
Hey, thank you. DC Customs a long time supporter and super chatter.
Harry ten dollars. Have you seen and do you plan on doing the new
film Nefarious? I knew we get a question about this, so yes,
we did see this. We got invited to spend the weekend with doctor bou
Branson, who have you've seen on my channel, and a lot of people
at the Antiochian church up there. We had a good time with all of
them. Father Daniel was a great guy. I got to meet him and
all his sons and it was a blast, and we actually all went to
go see Nefarious. So I'll give you a quick, just statement. It's
like an issuing a step press conference. What's your statement? My statement on
nefarious positives. It's good to see Christian movies stepping it up a little bit.
And this one is you know, if you if you've seen a lot
of Christian movies are just corny and they're no good. They're just poorly produced
and they're just they're just corny. So this one is a little better than
that, and that's good, and it had some good insights. It's a
very It's very much like C. S. Lewis as Screwtape Letters, So
you can tell Screwtape Letters was an influence on this. You could tell maybe
even some of these John Carpenter movies were an influence on it. So it
had some pros. It was basically like a decent Christian independent movie, does
that make sense, Like the equivalent of an independent horror movie, but kind
of like a Christian version. And of course Glenn Back basically you know,
he's in the movie. So there was elements of it that I really liked.
I thought it was insightful. My criticisms, that's a little it was
a little over the top. The acting on the part of the serial killer
was if he had dialed down the possessed character and the normal guy, if
he just dialed them both back a little bit, it would have been a
little better. And the main guy basically looks like a cross between Joel Ostein
and Tom Cruise, So Joel Crustine, I mean, I don't know.
Something about that guy's face was just kind of annoying to look at for a
lot because a lot of the movie is the prison back and forth conversation.
Basically seventy five percent of the movie is the prison discourse with the psychiatrist.
And I would have liked to have seen more than just this discourse. Um.
And there was a couple other things that didn't really make sense in the
in the in the movie, like before you leave here today, you're going
to commit three murders. And it's like the first one is you had your
mom youthanized years ago. Okay, but you said that I would commit a
murder today and that was something that happened along to it just didn't make sense.
It's like anyway, but but it's not terrible, Okay. So I
don't know what do I give it out of ten? Uh? I'll give
it six out of ten white goatees, right, six out of ten Colonel
Sanders goatees that Glenn Beck has. So how's that is? That? Is
that? Okay? But it's it's good to see, you know, Christian
films kind of of Christian films stepping it up a little bit, not being
as you're not not beating straight pure flicks. You know what I mean.
That's what I'm saying. Joseph. Ten dollars. There's a really good video
game based on Lovecrafts caused me horror called blood Born. I played blood Born.
It's fun, PLoud is simple, there's a few interesting themes. Yes,
thank you for that, Joseph. It was okay, it was enjoyable.
Kevin Farrell five dollars. I don't think I beat it. I got
pretty far in it, but I don't think I beat it. Kevin Farrell's
is nothing for you. Don't have to say anything, Kevin, but I
appreciate it. We still love you. Joshua forty fifty which one? All
right? Forty fifty ninety one hundred? What are you at? Man?
When are you gonna do a review of Five Nights at Freddy's. Five Nights
at Freddie's. I don't know this movie. It's supposed to have Matthew Lillard
in it. Okay, so we're getting some screen people. Scream for me,
Kennedy, scream for me, Jamie Um. Five Nights at Freddie's.
Well, I have to see what that is. I don't know what it
is. But if we got Matthew Lillard Lillard. Okay, that sounds fun.
He was do you remember him popping up in He popped up in Twin
Peaks season two? Remember that he was. He was good in that,
by the way, that was that was a good uh cameo there. So
Five Nights at Freddie's looks like it's going to be some kind of a Willie's
Wonderland. Remember that that was fun with Nick Cage. I enjoyed that one,
and that one had a accult serial killer possession theme. That kind of
looks like what we got here? Maybe, um, I want to ding
the you know what, So let's skip ahead a little bit. So,
yeah, this looks there's Matthew Lillard. The kids are getting sinking into that.
This is basically Willy's Wonderland to me, So yeah, we'll definitely check
it out. But it looks like will He's Wonderland. Did you guys like
Willi's see, we just jumped from like three fifty to four fifty. I
don't know what's going on with these numbers. What's up? Thank you guys
for those super chats. Much appreciated. Making it worth it tonight, Maybe
work it, watch me work it. I'll put the movies down, flipping
and reverse it. All right? That was really stupid, but I can't
resist it. Y'all want me to drop these movies rather than put my thing
down. Y'all don't want me putting all things down and flip them and reverse
them. What does that even mean? Body parts? Yo? Could you
flip that and then also put it down and then reverse it? Can't reverse
body parts? What the heck are you talking about? Um, let's see
if you would hit, like and share. And also we have live events
coming up if you guys want to come see us doing our live event and
Hollywood, get your tickets now, people need to go and get on these
tickets. Get get it right there. Jamie Kennedy, Me and Jamie live

And Jamie Hantshaw? What what? What's the problem? I've forgotten to
read my I'll give you guys this. We don't have time to read all
this. If you want to read my Cabin of the Woods analysis, I'll
put it in the chat there. If you can read that, lady,
I'm gonna said and read to y'all the lazies. Will you read to me?
I don't want to read re read to me. You need to read
lazy, get up done much horror. That's where we're at. We got
to get to this yoga suck off, yoga south off. It's about to
get crazy in here. I had a scary dream one time when this these
cathulonic deities were in my dream. It was pretty creepy. I say,
nineteen seventy done which horror. This is a Bee movie. It's not very
good, but it was fun and it's got to be one of the first
Dean Stockwell movies. And there was rumors. I mean, I'm not saying
this is true. I just people have said, oh, Dean Stockwell actually
isn't to the occult. I don't know if that's true, but I read
in a book somewhere. But we're back to um, you know, sacrificing
broads on the altar. I mean this is straight up pure demonic cult.
And Dean Stockwell wants to check out the Necronomicon from from basically an academic library.
Now, why do you have the real Necronomicon just kind of sitting out
to be checked out in the library? First of all, I mean,
if it's the real Necronomicon, people, people are gonna know it, right,
And it's just kind of over there on a glass case. I mean,
this thing would be worth a zillion dollars. Basically, you got the
book that can end the world and it's not even under any kind of alarm
system. It's just sitting there to be checked out. I'm a lizard.
What does that mean? Yes, yes, I'm a lizard person. Good
job, dude. So he wants to check out a necronomicon from the library.
He puts a little bit of a love spell on the blonde gal librarian
and she's like, oh, but he looks so good, and it's like,
really, Dean Stockwell, you know it's magic if he's spitting game as
Dean Stockwell, because he don't look that. He just looks like a normal
dude's but he looks so good he can check it out. So he checks
out the necronomicon, right, and we find out that he is the great
grandson of some hanged infamous person. And basically checking out the necronomicon. It's
an occult bible that will invoke the entities, right, So he is engaging
in his dark arts. You go to his estate. It's a giant occult
ritual estate with you know, sigils all over the floor of the tiles.
I mean, it just looks crazy, right. And the idea here is
that these rituals will open the portals to the other things, to the old
ones. So he seduces the blonde, traps her at his house, mind
controls, drugs her and essentially puts her into we don't it's it's unclear exactly
what is real and what's not, but he they put her through this ritual
essentially, and she's drugged. So we got Rosemary's Baby elements here because this
is basically this is basically a b version of Rosemary's Baby in a lot of
ways. There is a weird part two where they actually have liturgical fans in
this ritual that was the weird one of the weirdest things. So this is
the artistic way of describing an SCX ritual. You got it. Now he's
doing that Crowley pose and that makes me think, oh no, maybe actually
Dean Stockwell really was into Crowley stuff, because here he's doing that Crowley pose.
So that is you know famous pose there where you're you're like putting giving
yourself the you know, horns or whatever, and it's two pillars, and
that to me suggests that, you know, that's what Dean Stockwell is envisioning
in this movie, what he's trying to portray. Because there, you see,
there's the estate right where they got there, basically Torgo, right,
they got an old Torgo running around trying to warn everybody about hanging out at
this estate. The worst part of this movie is that it turns out spoiler
alert, that it's a brother to Dean Stockwell who lives in the basement basically
the dang broom closet, and he is a Cthulhu. Man. I don't
know how he's got a Cthulah brother, but he's got a Cthulah brother with
a bunch of tentacles somehow, and that's because the parents his mom had the
caught the Khitis with some sort of sea demon entity. So so that's the
Dunwich horror, right is that? Again? Not only are we in New
England with all the in cell horror boys up there, uh like Lovecraft and
Dean Coombs, but we're also up there with Dean Stockwell and his weirdo brother,
who's basically, who's the guy in Pirates of the Caribbean. That's his
that's his brother, right, y'all know what I'm talking you've seen Have you
seen Pirates of the nobody's seen that movie either, nobody's seen parts of Caribbean
anyway. So basically that's his bro. That's because they're Daddy. They're real
Daddy. Wasn't the Milkman. It was Dagon basically. But there are some
interesting sequences some you know, his whole body becomes this weird icon. You'll
notice the Hebrew letters there, the Kabbalah, all that kind of stuff that
pops up. Also in the Tom Kum Moo Mummy movie Kumy Mummy with Tom
Kum which was a terrible movie, but the goddess, remember her body was
all inscribed and so basically the body becomes a giant book, a living book,
a living word, which is this is an mimic right of Scripture and
Jesus as the logos, the Bible as the living word, etc. It's
kind of a version of that. I think this comes up in Colorado Space
too, right, which will return to that here in a say I can
I'll give a brief overview that because that was a lot of fun. But
basically a long as we're sort of the mother Lavina I had um made love
to a entity and Dean Stockwell and his brother are the offspring of this entity,
and that's how Dean Stockwell has his powers and so he knows actually too,
because he's part shall we say, Ana Knaki, he has the ability
to through sex magic, you know, do some crazy stuff, you know,
do a little bit of earthquaking. Did the earthquake for you too?
Katz Loud? Did the earth move for you? Took anyway. It's but
it's not a very good movie. So interesting ideas, very Rosemary's Baby,
but pretty goofy. Now, there is a fan favorite that we're not going
to be covering tonight. Everybody loves Evil Dead and Army of Darkness were an
I'll do Evil Dead Rise. There's not a whole lot in it, but
it is a cathulu cathulonic movie. But yeah, I mean, maybe we'll
just do you know, Evil Dead and Army of Darkness some other time.
But obviously that's a very Lovecraftian movie. Sam Raimi's classic movies. Um,
yeah, this is Genesis six Nephelim stuff going on. Now. There is
color magic, which is interesting that pops up in this movie. Dean Stockwell
does engage in quite a bit of color magic, and I'm wondering to what
degree Lovecrafts studied or was interested in those topics. Again, you'll see there's
the giant sigil of this cult there on the ground. Of course, those
are all made up in this movie. But the here's the weird part.
If you go and read the summary of the actual story, it'll tell you
more about the background of the necronomicon at the library, which you can just
check it out. By the way, what's the late feet By the way,
when if you don't bring back in the night, I mean, you
can just put a curse on the library and you know, so you can
get around those ladies here's the weird part. The cosmic entity yog Sothoth,
which is first mentioned in lovecraft story the case of Charles Dexter Award, the
being that is said to take the form of a conglomeration of blowing spheres.
So it's almost a sort of entity like the spheres of the Kabbalah, you
see. And there's a later connection right between this in mathematics, you'll see
what I mean. Watch this. This is an all knowing deity. Now,
in my view, this might be because Lovecraft was not a fan of
anything to do with the Hebrew Bible or anything to do with that that you
catch what I mean, especially as he became an atheist in so man of
his day. So this all knowing deity who appears as Hebrew spheres, is
this the Biblical Old Testament God? You see? This is Yahweh? I
think so is Yahweh supposed to be perhaps yog soth off what he calls a
demon. This demon is also co terminous with all time and space, but
it's also locked out of the universe that we inhabit. So this would be
like a gnostic portrayal of how the you know, how how they see Jehovah.
This is hinted at in the passage from Through the Gates of the Silver
Key by Lovecraft. And this is wild because here we're getting into some weird
fi esophagal stuff. The Lovecraft says, all in one and one in all
limits being and self. So here you have the one in the mini question,
infinity in the one, and the one is also infinite. It's also
the question of the one of the mini philosophically speaking, and limitless being in
the self, not merely a thing of one space, time or continuum,
but allied in all ultimate, animating essence of existence, the unbounded sweep,
the last utter sweep, which has no confines, and which reaches outreaches fancy
and mathematics alike. So this is beyond what God is, beyond being,
but also in being, so speak via his energies. It was perhaps that
which certain secret cults of Earth worshiped as yog Sothoth. So these are the
names that he made up for these different things. Right. Kenneth Grant,
the Chrolean Typhooni guy that wrote about a bunch of occold stuff. Right,
He suggested that the description of Yoko is a conglomeration of malignant globes from the
spheres of the clee thought of the Cabala. This deity has other names,
that which the Crustaceans of Yogoth worship as the beyond one. So this is
the Operonne, which in Greek theo or philosophy might be also referencing God.
Right is God's essence is beyond being apathetic theology, and which the vaporous brains
of the spiral nebulae know as the untranslatable sign right. So God, who
the one who cannot be named right? So tetragrammaton perhaps. Then it goes
on to say that this deity sees all and knows, also has omniscience.
To please that deity would however, bring new knowledge of many things, and
it requires, according to some human sacrifice. So there might also be a
connection to Chronos with this yoga. According to Lovecraft's letters, and by the
way, do you know he wrote the second he was the second most prolific
letter writer after Voltaire. Jogstho is the offspring of the nameless Mists, born
out of the deity of as a Thoth. So where does he get this?
This deity mated with Shube Niggerroth, which is this thing. Okay,
we're talking about literal flank spaghetti monsters now, right, look at these things.
I mean it actually it looks like spaghetti. I mean that's that is
This is what This is the deity that Richard Dawkins worships. Right. You
thought Richard Dawkins was making fun of chrisanity when he talked about flying spaghetti monster.
Now he's actually a worshipper of the ancient rights of as Athoth and Daygone
in Yog. So there you go as a thought. Is the hideous name
combined the biblical name of Anathoth where Jeremiah is from an Azazel to make Anathoth.
The alchemical term Azoth is used in the ritual magic writings of a e
Wait, and he was the model wizard for the thing on the doorstep.
So here where you do have a direct reference to ritual magic through ae Wait
and Lovecraft. So there is some degree. And they hear you all these
weird names that you're supposed to like, you chant these and it summons them
all the silly stuff, right, fun guy from you Goth. And there's
there's a lot of sighting of chaos here. So maybe Jordan Peterson, No,
do you believe in yolks Off? Well, I know a lot of
about it, but do you know about it? Do you believe in the
rights of Dacan and chaos? A lot of a lot of k anyway he
does. There does seem to be some um out of the Alons, right.
Lovecraft defined Subna Groth as the mother Goddess, the mound, the all
mother. So here's the goddess. This is the same as Astart and in
the in the work Out of the AONs, she is described as one of
the deities uh siding with humanity against evil gods. So there you go.
Her first mention is in the Dumb with Horror, the Dunwich Horror, where
I quote from the Necronomicons Necronomicon discussing the old one breaks into the exclamation of
this entity anyway, So there you go. Curious references there, Father Dagon.
So the esoteric connections to Dunwich Horror are much more interesting than the actual
movie, The Dunwich Horror, which is again not very good. But if
you're looking for a fun B movie, the next few are not going to
be too difficult. Hopefully we can get through these pretty quick now Here's what
was interesting was that when I watched this, uh Bella movie here, I
thought, I'm gonna get a shorthaired. You know, Susan Powder, you
know, underwater vampire lesbians. Right, that's what you think when you when
you're looking at this right with Kristen Stewart. No, this is Cthulah.
What. Yes, it was. Okay, it was an entertaining movie.
I wouldn't say it's good. But the most interesting part was that I didn't
know that I was watching a Cthulah movie, So I actually enjoyed the fact
that had no idea. And now I've ruined it for you. The key
most interesting element of this movie, I have completely ruined for you. So
they're studying the Marianna Trench, so basically, you know, a bunch of
basically like James Cameron, he's sending Bella down there. There's no sparkly Robert
Pattinson's I'm sorry if that's what you wanted into the Abyss. Now, I
like this because the Abyss is tied to the biblical Abyss. Right, stop
the insanity. People don't know who There's like two people in the chat and
know who Susan Powder is is it power or power powder? Remember, stop
the insanity powder it is, dude. Christen Stewart was like, I'm done
being a vampire. I want to look like Susan Powder. Stop the insanity.
I remember the nineties, dude, if you so in the nineties.
This is one of those omnipresent infommercials. And there's like a handful of these
from the nineties, right, I mean, there's a bunch of nineties infommercials,
but some of them just kind of have like enshrined themselves in everyone's psyche,
unfortunately, and Susan Powder is one of them. Stop the insanity to
taking back her life and becoming lean, strong and healthy. Thousands have hurt
her message and now you can too. It's time to take control. It's
time to stop the insanity. So, anybody falling asleep on the couch in
nineteen ninety three, you wake up at one in the morning, this is
what you see. I mean, she's more excited than freaking Bill Gates at
a Microsoft conference to stop in santy. She got Katy Perry too. Then
she remember Katy Perry looked just like that. Why you know, looking insanity
years it's the starvation and the deprivation and the doing anything to be skinny.
It's waking up every day hating the way you look and feel. It's beating
the heck out of ourselves all the time. Because anyway, I concur stop
the insanity. Stop the cathulonic insanity. Is what Bella is over here saying
she's gonna do it anyway. Long story short, they cross the Abyss,
and as they get deeper and deeper into the Abyss, things get worse.
We think that we're just plagued by these sort of shrimp men, these weird
shrimp creatures. No, it's actually a gigantic cthulhu. And we get by
the way, there's a weird Bafa Matt pentagram in this movie that just pops
up on a map out of nowhere, so that that was the one interesting
I mean, it's like a literally like a weird inverted pentagram on the map.
It makes no sense, but it's there. Don't know why. It
doesn't really fit the narrative. It's like a t J. Kirk Is that
him? Is that the Amazing Eight? It's TJ. What's his name?
He's in this So this is basically just aliens underwater and then it turns out
that it's Cthulu anyway, So there you go. I just well, that
who whole movie for you, But you know what you're getting, that's what
it is. Going back and watching Color out of Space was enjoyable. This
is a nineteen twenty seven Lovecraft story and it was okay. The actual story
was it was okay. I didn't really care for Dagon was not that interesting.
I do know this story as well. And Arkham Arkham is an old
town full of Witch's legends and evil. We find out that there is a
druid lady by the lake in this movie. This is Nick Cage's daughter,
right, She's Drew Lee. Just Jamie's notes. Nick Cage's daughter is into
Wicca, which is interesting because this film adds into the story the Witchcraft element,
the wick element, right, And I like this idea kind of like
you know, stranger things where she doesn't actually understand that she does invoke this
entity. Right, So the daughter and doing her Wiccan rituals seems to be
actually calling down this entity. And we later find out that she has the
necronomicon, the fake necronomicon that I'm talking about, right, The Simon Necronomicon,
which is not real, and she has Crowley's Book of the Law in
her bedroom. That is weird because of course that's not mentioned in the actual
story, but it's intentionally put into the movie. And so here she is
riding out there and and there's a lot of this is very visually well done.
I think it's the same people that did Pano Cosmatos is Beyond the Black
Rainbow. I think they produced this, and the same people that did Mandy.
It's pretty gross. I'm gonna go ahead, Warreny. There's a lot
of John Carpenter goo creatures. There's basically a giant ball of nougat and alpaca
and goo's. It's pretty gross. And humans begin to meld together, basically
have the undoing of the cosmos. Basically the metaphysical structure of the world itself
is beginning to unravel. And I actually like this element a little bit.
This was interesting. I like this in a horror movie because it's not something
we usually see in horror movies. You know, it's it's what if there's
a thing that's just a color from space, that's that's invoked and it's just
make in the metaphysical structure of everything just kind of go ape shit, that's
what this movie is, and you get your fill of crage. There is
no shortage of crage. Crage rage, and he goes completely insane. So
I've already done a whole breakdown of this movie, so I'm not gonna redo
all that. You can go watch my analysis. I will give you the
link to that right here if you want my color out of Space full breakdown.
Back when I was I don't know what I was thinking sitting down at
the bottom of the screen. We're in a stupid hat. I don't know,
but I wasn't putting a whole lot of thought into esthetics back then.
We've definitely look at that. We've definitely helped the aesthetics, right, that
stupid hat off, I didn't even know it was a girl's hat. Oh,
I just self owned, self owned. It was on the brack with
all the other hats. What am I supposed to do? Hey my fault?
Hey let's never wear a hat again. Thank you guys for those super
chats. Appreciate those all. Right, Where are we at, Evil Dead
Rise? If you want to watch the full analysis where I get into the
esoteric elements, but I did enjoy Colorado Space Mandy. Mandy's not Lovecraft,
but you know, this is when Nick Cage is starting to like make a
kind of a comeback, and you know, we were we were happy for
that. We were we were here aiding and cheering them on, helping as
best we could. And unbearable lightness of being the unbearable weight of massive talent
is also really good. So Nick Cage has had He's had a streak of
really good movies in the last five years. I would say, um,
Mandy is a better movie than Colorado Space, but for an independent, you
know, weird horror movie. I didn't enjoy color but it is gross.
It's a yuck movie. Jimmie and had decided. I had forgotten how gross
it was, but it does capture the disturbing grossness of a Lovecraft horror store.
The last one I'm gonna do is Evil Dead Rise. This was not
the movie I expected. I didn't know what to expect. Evil Dead movies
are pretty pretty intense if you watch the series with Bruce Campbell. I mean,
I grew up with this, makes have the poster had the BHS.
I just for whatever reason, I really liked Evil Dead an army of darkness
growing up, and that was where I first heard of the Necronomicon before I
checked it out from a university library. In Evil Dead Rise, we have
some interesting elements that didn't expect we have the should pull it up. No,
we don't need that. We've been going for pretty good while it's getting
kind of late. Did you notice the beginning when we find the teens at
the cabin in the woods and it looks as if it's the cabin from right
Ash's cabin. I assume she's reading Wuthering Heights and she's saying the phrase let
me in, and a lot of people forget that Wuthering Heights is basically a
kind of a possession story, right, Emily Bronte, Right, well is
it? No? Does she write? I read this actually in my film
and lit class, and it was better than I expected it to be.
And the old movie is also okay. It has Olivia to Haveling in it.
Right, that's right. Oh wait a minute, So Kate Bush has
a song. I'd be interested to hear what her song is. Nineteen thirty
nine. Well, I didn't realize it was that old, but yes,
so this if you've never seen. This is, by the way, it
has nothing to do with Lovecraft. But I was talking to Jamie about this
and she didn't know that this is like basically a possession movie because the entity
or Heathcliff, right, he basically it's like, let me in, let
me in, and then you have the consciousness stepping into another being because one
person is so into another person. But it's almost it's like, wait,
is it that or is it a possession movie? Right? Yeah, Heathcliff
and I forget her name, But this is a pretty good old movie if
you're looking for a good old movie. But it's a possession movie. So
we already have this hint at the beginning that we know this is going to
be about demonic possession. Then we fast forward to the present day after the
girls that in Guys the Cabin are basically all demolished via this demonic entity,
one of the evil dead, and we are at an apartment building where it's
kind of nods to Ghostbusters, right where you've you've got a single mom who
now has lost her masculine authority in the household. And you'll notice a lot
of horror movies that we see this element where there's a single parent, and
particularly where the spiritual father is missing, there's now an open doorway for the
demonic to enter. And that's what happens here, you actually get. I
don't think it's intentionally saying that because it's trying to have like a feminist message,
but ironically, in an indirect way, it doesn't have a feminist message
because all hell breaks loose now that she and the husband have parted ways.
And I think it's something like, you know, she says he cheated or
something like that, and then her sister, who's a rocker and also a
feminist, comes to console her. Because she's now a single mon to I
think three kids, and with no spiritual father in the house, the gates
to all hades have been opened loose. And what I did appreciate about this
movie, and it's also gross. I'm gonna warn you this is a gross,
you know, yucky horror movie. I mean, this is actually what
I think demons would be like you know what I mean. Like, it's
not this is more of a demonic portrayal of how evil and manipulative a demon
actually and malicious a demon actually would be, as opposed to a lot of
goofy Hollywood portrayals, because in this the demons are are actually very smart,
very clever. Now, I mean they have like too much power, right,
Obviously this is way over the top, but you have that old theme
of how the demon is basically eventually kicked out of the house when the mom
gets fully possessed and they keep trying to deny that she's possessed, even though
they can't. It gets to a certain point where it's basically undeniable. They
somehow boot her out of the apartment and she keeps wanting to get back in.
And this is a classic horror mythology trope of you have to willfully invite
and let these things in, right, Yeah, the cheese greater thing.
That was the worst part. That was two or three times I had to
do this, right, this is pretty gross. But oh I forgot to
mention. The whole building is haunted. And that's because this was a bank
and it was at one point I think was it related to somehow connected.
It's like a church, it became a bank or something, and they had
to bring in these priests and do an exorcism because this priest had found an
old book, which is the Necronomicon, and the priest thought that for the
Vatican he could transcribe the invocations and then the Roman Colley Church would know what
the demons were up to. Now, it's interesting that it went from being
church to bank, right, because that's funny. But the Vatican says,
no, you can't translate that, which we know that's not true, because
Francis would be like, yes, please translate the necronomicon. Now we're going
to use that in the next Nova Sordo Acumuanist liturgy. The priest has told
no, And so the priest defies the Vatican and says, well, I
don't care if I'm excommunicated, I'm gonna go ahead and do an audio recording
on an LP on a record of the rituals the next anomicon. And so
good mcguffin there, because you can't the necronomicon can't really do anything until you
say the magic words. And this is all again Roman Catholic thinking, because
it's like, you know, the priest, no matter what, even if
he's a Satanist in the Roman Caolic Church, right, he can still pronounce
the magic words and it's still you know, causes the Eucharis to be that's
all very mechanical, technological thinking about spirituality from the overly legalistic rigorism of the
Roman Calolic Church. And it's sacramentology that's in this book and or it's gonna
be in this movie. And so we have the Son, who, by
the way, do you notice the it's it's hard to seem to be very
non binary. And the son doesn't know what he's getting into because he's a
DJ, and so he thinks he's just found weird old recordings right to like
mix or whatever, and he starts playing the records, and then we have
the invocation of the demons. I forgot to say that, but that's a
very it's just a very superstitious attitude towards sacramentology, which is just the opposite
of you know, the Orthodox aud right, it's not a mechanical, you
know, device that you can tap into like some kind of magic formula.
By the way, did you notice too that it's funny that they portray the
necronomicon in this as living, So it's actually bound with human flesh. So
it has a body, right, it's got skin, it has teeth,
and it's alive. So once again, just like if you think about it.
In scripture, you have the Lamb's Book of Life. Excuse me,
the Lamb's Book of Life. There's also mentioned the Book of the Living.
We have the mention of Ezekiel eating the Book, the Living Book, the
Living Word. The next chronomicon is like an inverse of that. It's like
a demonically living book or word. And oh yeah, I forgot. We're
in Los Angeles. St. Patrick's Cathedral, Los Angeles had the book in
nineteen twenty three, the preach wan and translated they said, no U.
This leads to the entity being really released. When the kid the DJ plays
the records, the demon possesses the mind first and then you rock from the
inside out in this narrative, and that's why in this they the possessed can
you know, do a lot of they're basically like super villains in this.
The plan for the entities is that they want to bring total chaos. So
we have like full on right Joran Peterson level stuff here total chaos. Well,
they're gonna bring total chaos. There's a lot of nods too. Maybe
it's like the Ghostbust like Ghostbusters with the haunted apartment complex or building, or
it's kind of like the Ghostbuster's building. Right, we have nods to the
shining with the blood in the elevator. There's a blood baptism, which is
odd because that's actually one of the ancient mysteries of the Mithra is a blood
baptism, and we see that for what a reason in this So sort of
like Christianity really isn't well, actually it's ambiguous. It's sort of like in
Evil Dead, the Christianity it's almost like it's not that it's it doesn't have
any power, but the characters aren't Christian and so maybe you could read it
in that way that well, if you're not Christian, then you're not you
don't have that protection that you would have. And so these women, again
this is maybe inadvertent, but the two sisters, one of him gets possessed,
right, and the other one saves the little one of the kids.
She only saves one. It's almost impossible in other words, without you know,
explicit Christian faith. So basically nothing works against these things except some form
of virtue or some form of maintaining that that notion of virtue. We get
a John Carpenter Goo person that was neat, but it's very gross. So
but it is very Lovecraft inspired, so I'm very interested. And this time
around, I'd never thought about the patterns and the connections between living books.
That was something that piqued my interests this time around. And we got more
super chats. I'll read those here. See we got Orthodox night ten dollars.
This is Elijah. I hope you enjoyed the visit to my parish.
Yeah, we had a great time. It's a lot of fun. I
hope it wasn't a bombardment. Now, we had a great time talking to
everybody there. I enjoy your esoteric occult streams. Thank you, of course,
not promoting it. We're just pointing out what's in these movies, the
symbolism, the imagery. Gregory Miller eighty two sixty four, ten dollars.
I live in California, Gold Country. Did you get it all? Is

distance from me. Well that's good. There are others are OCA and they're
far away. This church, however, has no website. Well, as
long as there are a canonical church, that's where I would recommend, So
you know, stay away from like weird schismatic non canonical groups l OK thanks

married this last week at the Orthodox Church. Hey, that's great to hear
so many people. You know, we spent the whole weekend with people that

There's also action two point er if you want to boost your overall intimate and
energy levels. So we're talking about supplementation for lack of proper nutrient density.

just wholesome, good mushrooms. Daily vitality support. That's a great one.

any more super chats. Thank you guys for all the support. Hopefully you
enjoyed the Lovecraft breakdown. I've never done that before. Saw some new movies.
I'd never seen some Lovecraft films that I didn't know about, and they
were okay. It makes for a better experience talking about in the movies with
you guys than some of these Talking to you guys is better than some of
these movies, I'll put it that way. But it was still fun and
I think next we will be doing we got another Tom coombstream we're gonna do
because I thought, well, we haven't done Edge of Tomorrow. We haven't
done, which is Tom Coom in Space, Groundhog Day, Alien, Groundhog
Day. We haven't done Oblivion. We didn't do Mummy, and so we're
gonna do another Tom Coomb stream because I forgot. He's got so many weird
movies too that we could do. And we got a old movie stream coming
up that's gonna be fun, dark, esoteric. Noah. I can't decide
when I would play a dark occult Noam movie or something like that. Because
I finally found some old forties film nowham movies that have a lot of dark
themes and symbolism. I didn't think there. I was having a hard time
finding any there's a little bit of Fritz Lang, but now we found something,
so that's gonna be fun. I'd never seen, believe it or not.
I'd never seen White Heat. It a while mah, so I finally
watched a James Cagney movie. We watched White Heat. It was a lot
of fun. That's gonna be fun to dissect. We'll do it. We'll
do We're gonna do a character study. We've not really done that style of
analysis yet, so it'd be something new to do. We will do character
study of bad guys. We'll do Cagney and White Heat top of it's a
classic. We're gonna do Edward g Robinson in a couple of his roles because
he was a interesting character, and we'll explain why we're doing that. And
we've not done a podcast on Sunset Boulevard yet, so we need to do
all those. Those are gonna be a lot of fun. So that will
be one of the upcoming podcasts. And then tomorrow I will have on with
