Speaker 1: It's me, diar Way.
Speaker 2: Who is this?
Speaker 3: I don't know, it's me. It's amid the Ruins. It's
Speaker 3: a guy who makes dire Way of music. It's amid
Speaker 3: the Ruins.
Speaker 1: Since sense.
Speaker 3: Dire Way music music.
Speaker 2: M M.
Speaker 3: What I've talked about in you know, probably one hundred
Speaker 3: articles of Jays analysis is the implementation of the AI
Speaker 3: smart grip in the giant smart cities, which is what
Speaker 3: IBM talks about publicly building. And that's where we're going,
Speaker 3: and that's what I think we have to be really
Speaker 3: concerned about.
Speaker 4: So all of these tensions, they.
Speaker 3: Are kind of a long term strategy to basically get
Speaker 3: everybody moved into megacities. They'll be forced to they'll be
Speaker 3: forced off of land and so forth for an environmental
Speaker 3: reasons and basically concoct and invented environmental nonsense.
Speaker 2: Then you'll be stuck in some hell a whole megacity
Speaker 2: in a.
Speaker 3: Basically a carton size apartment, living over a target or something,
Speaker 3: or inside of the target or a Walmart. As I
Speaker 3: said several years ago, it's actually coming true.
Speaker 2: Now there's a Shipagan city.
Speaker 3: This is all part of the long term global strategies.
Speaker 3: But to get there, you've got to have the constant clash,
Speaker 3: the constant alchemical blending and mixing and smashing together right
Speaker 3: out of Manicheanism to produce the convergence, to produce the synthesis.
Speaker 3: And that's what's crucial in all this and what is
Speaker 3: absolutely true from an alchemical, esoteric, philosophical, and geopolitical perspective,
Speaker 3: the fact that the Ruin elite seek to be post human.
Speaker 3: Jason alsos dot com, you are not allowed. Girls are
Speaker 3: not welcome.
Speaker 4: Welcome boys and girls and nerds.
Speaker 3: Are you all little simple jacks tonight? Are you all
Speaker 3: little simple jacks? Do you have your Do you have
Speaker 3: your oval walls on?
Speaker 5: Are you ready to play?
Speaker 3: Are you ready? Because tonight's movies do feature simple jack.
Speaker 4: We've got a treat for you, boys and girls.
Speaker 3: Tonight we got lawn mower Man, Thirteenth Floor, gyanam On,
Speaker 3: even Sky Existence and Video Drone. So I'm a more
Speaker 3: and more Croninberg fan. I mean, I've seen many Croninberg
Speaker 3: movies over the year. Year over the year, over the
Speaker 3: year I've only I'm only one year old, over the
Speaker 3: year that I've been alive, and now I am more
Speaker 3: of a Cronberg fan because I enjoyed scanners. Do you
Speaker 3: remember when we watched scanners into that?
Speaker 5: Yeah, his head popped. That's what I remember about scanners.
Speaker 3: You look nice to know I like you and blue.
Speaker 3: It's uncommon. Thank you. I look like I'm wearing a
Speaker 3: I'm either going to sleep in this boomer pajama shirt
Speaker 3: or I'm going to give you fifties gas self service.
Speaker 3: Better tip me. Greatest generation, I want more than a dime?
Speaker 3: Are you the greatest generation?
Speaker 5: We are zennials. We are on the cusp of millennial
Speaker 5: and Gen X, a micro generation.
Speaker 3: And even though I'm the creator, founder, copyright, trademark, owner
Speaker 3: of all the boomer jokes, I still get called a
Speaker 3: boomer all the time, which makes no sense. If you
Speaker 3: birth is a joke, you give birth to this joke,
Speaker 3: then you get and I don't have anything in common.
Speaker 5: You become what you mock. Eventually.
Speaker 3: The only thing I have in common with boomers is
Speaker 3: Florida and a tiny grill. But the tiny grill is
Speaker 3: like a homeless person grill. It's not even boomer bloomber grills.
Speaker 3: You know, you have there like they wed a ton
Speaker 3: and you wheel them around like a damn gurney.
Speaker 5: Right, you do have some boomer slippers that you were in.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but the.
Speaker 3: Feet sweat so I can't even really wear them. Yeah,
Speaker 3: that's a problem. Sweaty feet, clammy feet, clammed up feet. Uh,
Speaker 3: don't read the chat. They will distract you and they'll
Speaker 3: try to they'll try to play mind games, try to
Speaker 3: get in your head and play syops like the lawnmower man.
Speaker 3: Do you remember that he gets some people's heads. Oh yeah,
Speaker 3: he develops god powers because of because of evolution.
Speaker 5: Evolution? Is that what you want to start with.
Speaker 3: Well, we want to remind the people welcome everybody. And
Speaker 3: by the way, you can do super chats still through
Speaker 3: stream laves and that little gay zombie pops up doing
Speaker 3: the running man.
Speaker 5: Uh.
Speaker 3: So you please can still support your favorite content creators.
Speaker 3: I hate that phrase. This makes me sound like a
Speaker 3: freaking machine that spits out content. The content machine. Support
Speaker 3: your favorite content machine. I'm a content algorithm that just
Speaker 3: vomits it out for you. You're the little baby birds,
Speaker 3: the baby the baby maybe nerd birds, and I'm the
Speaker 3: mama that choose up the content and vomits it up
Speaker 3: into the baby nerd mouth, baby nerd bird okay jokes.
Speaker 5: No, that was like Alex Shoon's level, like weird and gross.
Speaker 3: That's what my mind does. I go through these, you know,
Speaker 3: like improv style stream of consciousness things. That's what's that's
Speaker 3: what's fun.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 3: Some of the people in the chat are actively presently
Speaker 3: engaged in four simultaneous sy offs on us at one time.
Speaker 3: What are we doing? What are we starting with? We're
Speaker 3: gonna start with not that that's the popular one. We're
Speaker 3: gonna do the less popular ones first. Uh, We're gonna
Speaker 3: do thirteenth Floor and Dyannemonic pick one.
Speaker 5: I liked thirteenth Floor. Let's start with that one because
Speaker 5: I was surprised that I liked it more than Dark City.
Speaker 5: It was kind of like, what was it? Dark City
Speaker 5: and the Truman Show.
Speaker 3: In the in the Matrix. Now we're intentionally not doing
Speaker 3: the Matrix because I mean, everybody hiss that. Come on,
Speaker 3: it's time to do the other eighties and nineties virtual
Speaker 3: worlds Internet right that what's coming is gonna be so badass, dude,
Speaker 3: the Net. We're gonna be surfing the net and it's
Speaker 3: gonna make everybody smart and everybody's gonna be cool, and
Speaker 3: there's gonna be Napster and LimeWire. You could download a
Speaker 3: song and it takes like three days to get one
Speaker 3: MP three and you can leave it running all night, bro,
Speaker 3: and you'll have your favorite Enigma song. We turn to
Speaker 3: its hands, as long as you're willing to let that
Speaker 3: damn napster run all night on your on your twenty
Speaker 3: four fifty six k motum.
Speaker 5: Bro with your oh one of these had oh, that's
Speaker 5: Johnny and Monic. Because data storage was super tiny.
Speaker 3: Yes in the future, when they download things into your brain,
Speaker 3: they apparently didn't consider the fact that like five gigabytes
Speaker 3: is not a lot.
Speaker 4: Because or perhaps Keanu really doesn't have a lot of.
Speaker 5: It has eighty gigs of them?
Speaker 4: Are we doing joining to Monaco?
Speaker 5: Let's see thirty four first, because I liked it so
Speaker 5: the year, but.
Speaker 3: Actually the eight gigabytes is better than what is in
Speaker 3: lawnmower Man, because in lawnmower Man, Pierce Brosman thinks three
Speaker 3: megabytes is a lot.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you go ahead.
Speaker 5: The year is twenty.
Speaker 3: Year, twenty twenty four, but the.
Speaker 5: Movie was made in nineteen ninety nine, so in nineteen
Speaker 5: ninety nine they thought in twenty twenty four four years
Speaker 5: from today, that we would have these kinds.
Speaker 3: Of technology, go landa pod and you get to be
Speaker 3: a god of your own world.
Speaker 5: Well, it starts out with I think therefore I am,
Speaker 5: So what does that mean to pertain to the movie.
Speaker 3: Well, the movie is just kind of I mean, there
Speaker 3: is a gnostic ish theme to the movie, so it's
Speaker 3: kind of hearkening to the idea that, Well, dude, like
Speaker 3: what if reality is virtual? You know, like it's all
Speaker 3: just my mind projecting reality and we think the computers
Speaker 3: are like going to give us an insight into virtual reality.
Speaker 3: But dude, it's telling us that real reality is virtual.
Speaker 4: It's like that's a simulation theory, isn't that.
Speaker 5: Part of this the New age science club people they
Speaker 5: talk about everything's just a hologram.
Speaker 3: I was in chess club.
Speaker 5: No, I mean, like the guy of uh.
Speaker 3: Spirit, I know, but I'm making there. I was really
Speaker 3: in chess club, not science club.
Speaker 5: That's cool.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but we never played We never played chess. We
Speaker 3: just went to be we got out of class and
Speaker 3: then I stood in the front of chess club for
Speaker 3: the yearbook picture. I never played chess once.
Speaker 5: I like chess.
Speaker 3: Yeah, man, we was scamming.
Speaker 5: This movie is based on a book called Simulate. Come three,
Speaker 5: I guess.
Speaker 3: Right now, and we got to go a little faster
Speaker 3: than this.
Speaker 5: Okay, but open scene he's cheating on matrix wife with
Speaker 5: matrix prostitutes. Is the guy who made this entire world
Speaker 5: phenomenal cosmic powers is really cheating? I think?
Speaker 3: So if the real the actual wife is also not actual,
Speaker 3: then how can you cheat on something that's not real?
Speaker 5: Didn't he have a real wife and.
Speaker 3: The real Well, you just ruined the movie.
Speaker 5: He's cheating on his matrix wife with matrix The future sucks.
Speaker 3: Usually in dystopian they have to will be very good dystopia.
Speaker 3: It was like a badass.
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's why they have to escape into virtual rally
Speaker 5: because reality bites. What is that movie surrogates? Yeah, let's see,
Speaker 5: fully formed cyber beings are sims or units and PCs.
Speaker 5: So he's going into this cyber world and all the
Speaker 5: people are so realistic that it looks like the real world.
Speaker 5: You can't tell the VR from reality. The VR is
Speaker 5: even better than reality actually, and so it's full of
Speaker 5: NPC units, right, just like Inception.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's a good analogy to Inception.
Speaker 5: What I liked about this movie was that one of
Speaker 5: the worlds was set in Los Angeles in nineteen thirty seven,
Speaker 5: which I think is a cool time and place.
Speaker 3: It's a in sci fi noir. This is in the
Speaker 3: nineties when Neo NOA is still popular.
Speaker 5: Is this the one that had the Blade Runner apartment.
Speaker 4: Yeah, there's a lot.
Speaker 3: Of throwbacks of Board Runner in this movie.
Speaker 5: So there's talk about transferring consciousness into the matrix. Every
Speaker 5: character has a double or an avatar. Right, Let's see
Speaker 5: the sims are missing time when they're not occupied. Do
Speaker 5: you remember that part.
Speaker 3: Yes, So there's also a mind control element to it
Speaker 3: to where the people kind of pass out, and then
Speaker 3: other consciousness invades different NPCs consciousnesses and so there's like
Speaker 3: a weird It's basically like what if what a virtual
Speaker 3: reality was actually just alternate realities and they all kind
Speaker 3: of coincide, and like altars are just people in other
Speaker 3: you know, multiverses or.
Speaker 5: Whatever, Like you're just an avatar for an alien or
Speaker 5: angel or a.
Speaker 3: Demon or some kind of Yeah, we're doing Thirteenth Floor
Speaker 3: the nineteen ninety eight.
Speaker 5: From Thirteenth Floor, which I thought it was better than
Speaker 5: I thought it was going to be because I'd never
Speaker 5: heard of it. Let's see, sims are men, sims have rights.
Speaker 5: So there's this discussion.
Speaker 3: In the movie seems to mean, I mean the vegans,
Speaker 3: the vegans vegans in Australia they say kids, I mean
Speaker 3: seems I mean, it.
Speaker 5: Seems a meaning ting. So there's this question if a
Speaker 5: sim has thoughts and feelings and actions and will and
Speaker 5: agency in a virtual world, does it have rights? Is
Speaker 5: that's going to be something that we have to think
Speaker 5: about in the future.
Speaker 3: I mean, they probably will start saying that AI augmented
Speaker 3: reality beings somehow have rights because that would help promote
Speaker 3: transhumanism and AI and all that. So probably, I mean,
Speaker 3: it all be a bunch of fraud, but there's no
Speaker 3: limits to the fraudy.
Speaker 5: Yeah. So one of the reveals in the movie is
Speaker 5: that it's very much like The Truman Show or and
Speaker 5: they have a flat Earth because it's.
Speaker 3: Yeah, because you come to the end of the you know,
Speaker 3: thirty seven La Hollywood, It just comes to an end
Speaker 3: and then it's likes and retro scent wave background.
Speaker 5: Basically just unfair.
Speaker 4: But you come to your screens, your retrowave screensaver at
Speaker 4: the end of La Bro.
Speaker 3: Take the far down to the three, get on the three,
Speaker 3: and then go to your retroave. The Kristen Wi the
Speaker 3: Californians go, mm.
Speaker 5: Let's see what else retrowave matrix inception. That's it, knoxtick
Speaker 5: trickster Demiurge.
Speaker 3: Yeah. So the old guy who's the blind, fumbling creator
Speaker 3: deity of this matrix world, he's forgotten and I don't
Speaker 3: forget what he is, but he he doesn't know what's
Speaker 3: going on. And once again it's the nimi Urge narrative.
Speaker 3: And there is an interesting twist in this movie. Spoiler alert. Uh,
Speaker 3: the the bad guy is not your typical bag. I
Speaker 3: won't tell you who the bad guy is, but it's
Speaker 3: not the bad guy that you think. Let's go in
Speaker 3: an interesting direction. I don't know why this movie is
Speaker 3: bombed by the critics. It's not a bad movie. Maybe
Speaker 3: people felt it was too similar to the Matrix one year.
Speaker 3: I think after the first Matrix. It's similar in a
Speaker 3: lot of ways to the Matrix, but also different in
Speaker 3: other ways. So it's not a bad movie. So I'm
Speaker 3: not sure why the critics bombed it. Fans the audience
Speaker 3: seems to like it. It's usually about a seventy seven
Speaker 3: out of ten from the audiences, and then you know, yeah,
Speaker 3: critics are like, screw this.
Speaker 5: So what I thought was interesting about this was that
Speaker 5: the whole virtual world was built around just satisfying your vices. Gambling.
Speaker 3: Well, that's going to be the purpose of all the
Speaker 3: VR stuffy, Yeah, exactly, So.
Speaker 5: Don't harm your body with real vices. Just go into
Speaker 5: the virtual world and you can gamble and have sex
Speaker 5: and all that other.
Speaker 3: And granted, we could have included you know, Blade Run,
Speaker 3: but I mean I've already covered done multiple videos on
Speaker 3: Blade Runner and the Matrix, so we wanted to do
Speaker 3: the ones that aren't always talked about, right, So you know,
Speaker 3: some of these are still fairly you know, big movies
Speaker 3: with al Sky or whatever, and they were fun too.
Speaker 5: This one was a really fun batch, don't you think. Yeah? Ye,
Speaker 5: so spoiler alert can we say that ahead?
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 5: One of the secrets that you find out is that
Speaker 5: the virtual world is inside the virtual world. So it's
Speaker 5: like if you had a video game the Sims, and
Speaker 5: the Sims made the video game the Sims in their world.
Speaker 5: That's what. Yes, it's fair.
Speaker 3: Some little shee yeah.
Speaker 5: Shade archetype shadow self so the.
Speaker 3: Bad guy, the good guys.
Speaker 5: The bad guy, yeah, in another world, another reality, his
Speaker 5: higher self. Yes, so he's the real DeMier. It's not
Speaker 5: the old man exactly right, that's what you find out.
Speaker 5: And she's Sofia. Does somebody in here's named Sofia?
Speaker 2: Actually?
Speaker 5: Yeah? But if you die in the game, you die in.
Speaker 3: Rel that's in existence.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 3: But in thirteenth floor, the thirteenth floor is that missing dimension.
Speaker 3: It's another dimension. It's that other layer level of existence,
Speaker 3: and there is the Nosta. There is a gnostic mythology
Speaker 3: to this because this whole time he's searching for Gretchen
Speaker 3: Mall and she ends up being his Sofia principle that
Speaker 3: you know, heals him or whatever and things can return
Speaker 3: to to normal. They have a happy ending when they
Speaker 3: solve the matrix puzzle.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 5: Again, I didn't like the year twenty four to twenty four,
Speaker 5: the real, real, real reality twenty four in the movie.
Speaker 5: I thought it looked kind of that's.
Speaker 3: Not the reality.
Speaker 5: That's No. At the very end, when they're at the beach.
Speaker 3: The layer is still a layer of the matrix.
Speaker 4: Really, or is he the good consciousness in the regular guy?
Speaker 5: Yeah, he's the that's right.
Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, yeah, No, La does not look like that now.
Speaker 3: So they have this glistening nor.
Speaker 5: Will it look like that four years from now.
Speaker 3: There's like glistening you know, Space City in twenty twenty four. Yeah,
Speaker 3: and it looks like you know, dump like just as
Speaker 3: much as it did in nineteen ninety eight, ninety nine.
Speaker 4: All right, what's next? John Namonic?
Speaker 3: Okay, Well, so John, thank you for the super chat.
Speaker 3: We will get to those in a minute.
Speaker 5: Johnny Mnemonic, nineteen ninety five, excellent. Corporation's rule is the
Speaker 5: first note we got so everything.
Speaker 4: That's the note for every dystopian movie.
Speaker 5: Yeah, but they also rule man like, they're so cool,
Speaker 5: like you can do cool things with your mind in
Speaker 5: the computer.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so the corporations give you a well in this
Speaker 3: in this dystopia, I think this is set.
Speaker 5: In twenty twenty one, so that's next year. Yeah, next year,
Speaker 5: Keanu Reeves will have eighty gigabytes of memory, so a
Speaker 5: little bit bigger than iPod first first.
Speaker 3: No, first generation iPod had more than that, didn't it.
Speaker 5: Okay, the first video the first video generation I thought
Speaker 5: I had was sixteen. So there's a new plague called
Speaker 5: nerve attenuation syndrome.
Speaker 3: This is interesting because this movie does have some elements
Speaker 3: in it that are pretty revelatory. There wasn't really much
Speaker 3: in Thirteenth Flour that was revelatory and like a predicted
Speaker 3: programming since, but John Monic does have that because we
Speaker 3: find out that the the sickness that people are getting
Speaker 3: everywhere is due to the over abundance of frequencies. Yeah,
Speaker 3: there's all these frequencies everywhere. Yeah, and it's basically it's
Speaker 3: basically messing people up. And so that's the dilemma that
Speaker 3: Kinko has to solve at the end. But anyway, this
Speaker 3: is a William Gibson novel, So that's why this has
Speaker 3: some of the element because he wrote Neuromancer, which has
Speaker 3: some of these same kind of predictive stuff, and it
Speaker 3: has a matrix in it that's a neuromancer. So we
Speaker 3: know that William Gibson's going to give us something predictive.
Speaker 5: There's a new class of people called the low text
Speaker 5: remember that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, these are the revolution there's always a revolutionary in
Speaker 3: every one of these dystopian movies.
Speaker 5: So the low texts don't want to merge with the machine.
Speaker 3: They live in Under the Bridge that are like rats,
Speaker 3: but they ironically have a giant computer system, so it's
Speaker 3: like they use technology. They're not they're not really they're
Speaker 3: like Amish or they're like the Mennonites, right, yeah, the
Speaker 3: the Mennonitees will you know, use the bank and the
Speaker 3: card and Amish are like, we don't use zippers because
Speaker 3: they're from Satan.
Speaker 5: They use the word info wars. So there's some kind
Speaker 5: of battle going.
Speaker 3: On, right, So there's all kinds of information warfare is
Speaker 3: brought up in this I lost the place in the
Speaker 3: notes chips Klaus might stored Oh they talk about storing
Speaker 3: data in humans and Klaus, as we've talked about in
Speaker 3: the Fourth and Dusty Revolution analysis, Klaus mentions that in
Speaker 3: his book he says it in the future, we might
Speaker 3: store data in DNA.
Speaker 4: That's what this movie is about.
Speaker 3: And Kinko Reeve is actually a spy. He's a data
Speaker 3: courier spy person and he's called Agent Smith and he's
Speaker 3: dressed up like Agent Smith in The Matrix, which is
Speaker 3: odd because it's only three years later that he will
Speaker 3: play Neo.
Speaker 5: So the low text live in City Corps New Darwin
Speaker 5: in Wake Up Call Oh, so Darwin is a hero
Speaker 5: neo Darwinian, Yeah, Darwinian, but he's at the New Darwin
Speaker 5: Inn when he gets a wake up call. And then
Speaker 5: there's Skype. Remember every future movie has a dimension.
Speaker 3: Version of Skype, you know, that's always but and they
Speaker 3: act like everybody's going to call everybody for every call
Speaker 3: on Skype, and nobody does that. That's what they got wrong.
Speaker 4: Skype is for interviews and that's it.
Speaker 3: Everybody texts everybody there, nobody's skypes FaceTime.
Speaker 5: There's a lot of interesting things going on in the
Speaker 5: background of the world in this movie, like China. There's
Speaker 5: like riots in China and Beijing over that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's very much a Blade Runner kind of future,
Speaker 3: but not very good special effects. So it looks like,
Speaker 3: I mean, once again they're throwing back to Blade Runner
Speaker 3: and he mentions that the he has to fight the Yukuza.
Speaker 3: So the Japanese Yakuza at the beginning is working for
Speaker 3: They've been hired by the Big Corporation whatever, the Big
Speaker 3: Mega corp. And every dystopian movie is so that it
Speaker 3: was interesting that they have this kind of you know,
Speaker 3: spy element to it, and it makes it I've not
Speaker 3: yet read William Gibson. So it makes me really want
Speaker 3: to get into Neuromancer because I'm sure it has a
Speaker 3: lot of predictive stuff in it. But thank you for
Speaker 3: those super chats there, Finian, and we'll get to those
Speaker 3: here in a minute.
Speaker 5: Twin girls, I don't know what that means.
Speaker 3: Maybe there's some maybe I was thinking of, like the astrological,
Speaker 3: just like in cubric the Twins astrology.
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, yeah, so he only has eighty gigs and
Speaker 5: then he has to get an upgrade and he gets
Speaker 5: one hundred and sixty gigs. Man, but it's not enough.
Speaker 5: He's mister Smith. You said that Keanu has a rebel tooth,
Speaker 5: just like you. So there's a close up of his
Speaker 5: teeth and you can see on the bottom just like
Speaker 5: Jay Kanu.
Speaker 3: Has seventeen seventy six in my mouth.
Speaker 2: Right now.
Speaker 3: There's a revolution going on in the underground. The above
Speaker 3: ground are elite, they're perfect, and the underground there's a
Speaker 3: revolution to overthrow the the upper class.
Speaker 5: Comic book characters, anime battle scenes. I don't remember that
Speaker 5: the web serves you. So, yeah, he's got the whole
Speaker 5: Was there.
Speaker 3: A scene where it switched to anime?
Speaker 5: I think he was watching that.
Speaker 4: Oh okay, well that's predictive.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so they will.
Speaker 4: Be looking in the future and anime taking over doing.
Speaker 5: The Yukuza thing too, so that's why they have that.
Speaker 5: So they download all this crap into his head, but
Speaker 5: he only has dial up and he can't take it.
Speaker 5: So he's gonna die man if he doesn't like get
Speaker 5: his information.
Speaker 3: So they figured all this amazing stuff out in the future,
Speaker 3: but they're basically using you know, like you said, first
Speaker 3: generation iPod storage level and the upload download speed is
Speaker 3: like dial up level, so it doesn't work too good
Speaker 3: in Kinko's head.
Speaker 5: The Free City of Newark is like can you say those? Yeah,
Speaker 5: so they have a no technology zone. Yeah, the load
Speaker 5: text and.
Speaker 3: It looks like Chaz Chop.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's all burnt out. Yeah, it's really bad, and it's.
Speaker 4: Run by Iced Tea.
Speaker 3: By the way, Iced.
Speaker 5: Tea, let's see with oh, because without the Internet, we'd
Speaker 5: all live in boxes like hobos. Right, No, that's what
Speaker 5: they're trying to show without technology.
Speaker 3: But this movie is it's against the Internet.
Speaker 5: That's what the low text like live like rats in
Speaker 5: the sewer.
Speaker 3: And so we need because they're oppressed. Though but by
Speaker 3: the Corporation Inc. Corporation in Corporate Corporation Inc. Always oppressed.
Speaker 3: That's why, that's why they're fighting against it with the
Speaker 3: dolphin power. Remember, yes, we'll.
Speaker 5: Get to that, are we We're not there yet, No
Speaker 5: chop Renaissance off Apocalypse.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, Henry Rollins is in this by the way.
Speaker 3: Yeah, as a doctor.
Speaker 5: And it's so steampunk like their look and.
Speaker 3: Everything the well that was nineties. Remember a tank girl?
Speaker 3: What's her face?
Speaker 5: I know you're doing about Petty Lory Petty.
Speaker 3: She went from point brank, point break to tank girl
Speaker 3: and then what.
Speaker 5: And then what?
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 5: No, she was on Orange is the New Black.
Speaker 3: Okay, so let's see his.
Speaker 5: Brain can't hold all the memes and the nineties gifts.
Speaker 3: Yes, dancing Baby gift basically shorts circuits Kinko's mind.
Speaker 5: Oh, he had to erase his childhood to hold all
Speaker 5: the data. That was interesting.
Speaker 3: Dump that recycled, ben, dude, we got to fit some
Speaker 3: more memes in here.
Speaker 5: There's an eye in the pyramid when he goes online.
Speaker 3: Yes, so we see illuminate confirm does actually show up
Speaker 3: and it's not it's this, it's an intentional illuminate confirm here,
Speaker 3: so the Internet is you know, illuminate confirm and also
Speaker 3: in hackers when he first hacks at the beginning, they're
Speaker 3: talking about illuminate confirm and the nWo and you see
Speaker 3: the all sing on it, So it was it is
Speaker 3: interesting that they have intentionally placed the all singular let's.
Speaker 5: See pharmaicom data in his head. So that's one of
Speaker 5: the interesting things about this.
Speaker 3: Is what is.
Speaker 5: The pharmaceutical industry is wrapped up in this Yakuza data
Speaker 5: dump that Keanu has to curry in his DNA, right, Yeah, because.
Speaker 3: They have the cure to nash and they want to
Speaker 3: gain the system, get everybody six so that you have
Speaker 3: to get the cure. Where have we heard of this before?
Speaker 5: Oh, there's the Church of the Retransfiguration member.
Speaker 3: Like, yeah, Dolph Lundgren plays imagine Dolph Lundgren dressed up
Speaker 3: as Jesus, dressed up as Francis of Assisi, as a
Speaker 3: as a super soldier assassin. So yes, Dolph Lundren is
Speaker 3: literally playing a super soldier as France of Assisi as Jesus,
Speaker 3: and he's ahead of a cult.
Speaker 5: Oh and then if you get this neurological disease, this
Speaker 5: nerve attenuation syndrome. They call it the black Shakes. That
Speaker 5: was kind of weird because.
Speaker 3: Well, didn't they spit out goo or something something black?
Speaker 5: I think they did have the foaming.
Speaker 3: So technology Wi Fi is poisoning.
Speaker 5: It's poisoning people. Yeah, Pharmacom has again.
Speaker 3: And Pharmacom, who is behind this poisoning, has a cure.
Speaker 5: Yeah, William Gibson story is that the author?
Speaker 3: Yeah, I just said that like five times.
Speaker 5: Deep fake?
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think there was some kind of a version
Speaker 3: of a deep fake in the movie at some point,
Speaker 3: which is again way ahead of its time. I don't
Speaker 3: remember what it was, but.
Speaker 5: Yeah, oh there was one. Yeah, what was it? I
Speaker 5: don't I know what's trying about, but I don't remember.
Speaker 2: What it was.
Speaker 3: I know that in my heart there will never be
Speaker 3: a fake Kiano Reache because he is a deep reality
Speaker 3: for me. There's no deep faking Kinko.
Speaker 5: You can't fake that.
Speaker 4: He's true love. It's true love.
Speaker 5: Johnny has a breakdown because he wants his ten DS
Speaker 5: luxuries of Oh, he doesn't want to join the Ludites
Speaker 5: because he has too much luxury in the virtual reality.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Kinko has a spurgout because he wants his chicken.
Speaker 3: Are they virtual attend are they?
Speaker 5: Yeah? Well, like if you live in the technological world,
Speaker 5: it's half and half, so you know your creature comforts
Speaker 5: and then you can have whatever you want to VR.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 5: Can you get like infinite tends in the r Why
Speaker 5: are they fighting technology by being steampunk? Get the word?
Speaker 4: It's just an older version of tech.
Speaker 3: They're like they're anti at tech, another they're low tech. Yeah,
Speaker 3: I guess steampunk.
Speaker 5: Even though we draw the line at Ai Man, we
Speaker 5: just like machine except four. There's the robo dolphin your favorite.
Speaker 5: Does this remind you?
Speaker 3: And he beats Dolphin Lundren? That was mind Joe, I
Speaker 3: want credit for that.
Speaker 5: What does that remind you of the dolphin?
Speaker 3: They reminded me of Dolphin Lungren? What do you mean what.
Speaker 5: You did a show about the book that John?
Speaker 2: Oh?
Speaker 3: It's yeah, it is like John C. Lily.
Speaker 4: I was like, why do they put this stupid dolphin
Speaker 4: in there?
Speaker 3: And then because the dolphin is working with the low
Speaker 3: text to beat the corporation that has sent dolphin Dolphin
Speaker 3: Lundren as an assassin, and so the dolphin sends out
Speaker 3: a signal and it like knocks out dolphin.
Speaker 5: It's because of his what do you call it a
Speaker 5: whole location? Yeah, yeah, his sonar.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 5: So they hook up a dolphin the Internet and the
Speaker 5: dolphin has dolphin dial up. Oh and his name is Jones.
Speaker 5: The dolphin's name is Jones.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a dolphin Jones who's fighting fight.
Speaker 5: Sonar killed Dolph. The dolphin can take you into the data.
Speaker 3: Well, it is a it is a brain interface where
Speaker 3: that's where Keanu has to jack in, which is all
Speaker 3: like what you'll see in the matrix in a couple
Speaker 3: of years. But when he jack's in, he has to
Speaker 3: get the dolphin to help guide him into the matrix, remember,
Speaker 3: and it's all like max headroom looking matrix.
Speaker 4: And but the point is that John C.
Speaker 3: Lily was studying dolphins for brain computer chip interfaces.
Speaker 4: So that's the only reason.
Speaker 3: I could think of why William Gibson would have I
Speaker 3: don't even know if you put this this stupid dolphin
Speaker 3: thing in the book. But when you watch the movie,
Speaker 3: it's just like what and the dolphin can send the
Speaker 3: signal out of his head.
Speaker 2: I mean, the.
Speaker 3: Dolphin has to open his third eye I and he
Speaker 3: can fight. That's the only way a dolphin could beat dolphin.
Speaker 5: Lungern right, yep, that's the end.
Speaker 3: Dolphin dial up? What is that? What's your last?
Speaker 5: Lady? Trapped? Or AI? Was there like a cliffhanger? Do
Speaker 5: you remember?
Speaker 3: I don't remember? Anyway, I had fun? How many? How many?
Speaker 3: How many dolphin lungdrens do you give? Giant the moment?
Speaker 5: Seven?
Speaker 3: Seven? This movie is not that good.
Speaker 5: But I had fun though, so it bumps it up.
Speaker 3: No, as a movie, not how much fun movie?
Speaker 5: Six?
Speaker 3: This movie is at best of five?
Speaker 5: Come on, five dolphins for you?
Speaker 3: Wasn't to get that stickball out of here? Stupid ass movie?
Speaker 3: I mean it was funny.
Speaker 5: Vanilla Sky or videos?
Speaker 3: Are you missing one? Lawnmore manor we just did that?
Speaker 3: We haven't done, we haven't Where are you at all?
Speaker 2: Right?
Speaker 5: This is your favorite of the thing?
Speaker 3: No? No, the best movie of these, arguably is video Drum. Okay,
Speaker 3: what's that up there? We already do? Oh yeah, that's
Speaker 3: pretty good though. Anyway, pick one to go next.
Speaker 5: Let's go law more.
Speaker 3: Okay, yeah, dude, let me warn you because lawnmower Man Okay,
Speaker 3: I haven't seen it since the nineties. Law more Man,
Speaker 3: it is pure comedy. If you go into this movie
Speaker 3: looking for anything other why are you drinking younger coffee?
Speaker 3: What are you doing? Do you want a water coffee?
Speaker 3: This movie is it's Retarto, like its central character is
Speaker 3: s Retarta. So yeah, I mean, we think of the
Speaker 3: history of slow characters, and we think of the local bots,
Speaker 3: and we get we get for like make check. I
Speaker 3: hate Forrest Gump. That's one of my all time most
Speaker 3: hated movies. Never like Tom Hanks's face. Always disliked his face,
Speaker 3: Radio Radio Cuba, Getting Junior playing a blessed slow boy,
Speaker 3: Sleep with Billy Bob is a blessed slow boy. And
Speaker 3: there was one more I had, simple Jack, simple Jack,
Speaker 3: But yeah, whatever, he doesn't really count, but we'll count
Speaker 3: oh flowers for Aldren. So let's start with this. This
Speaker 3: is nineteen ninety two. Yeah, it's a Steve King story.
Speaker 3: I've not read this dumb thing. I don't know. Every
Speaker 3: time it's a Steve King story, I was like, it's
Speaker 3: nothing like the book. I don't know whatever. I mean.
Speaker 3: I read three Stephen King books and I mean, well
Speaker 3: we did that, didn't we do a talk on the stand.
Speaker 3: It was like the book pretty much, But I haven't
Speaker 3: read any of these other ones. So I don't know,
Speaker 3: lawmore Man.
Speaker 5: It's like books are really way worse, and they took
Speaker 5: out the horrible horrible.
Speaker 4: Did you read it or any of those?
Speaker 5: No, because I heard it was really bad. The book
Speaker 5: is bad as in like de yeah, like way worse
Speaker 5: than movie. But so Stephen King took his name off
Speaker 5: of this. It was so bad.
Speaker 3: Really, I think I thought it was a hit. I
Speaker 3: don't know. Let me you start talking it started, let
Speaker 3: me see if it was a hit. I don't remember.
Speaker 5: Virtual Space Industries right, And they had the monkey in
Speaker 5: the mind wiper in that carnival ride the gyroscope, So
Speaker 5: they have the monkey in the vomit machine like he's
Speaker 5: going to eat too many hot dogs.
Speaker 3: Well, remember we did Fortress and when they wipe Christopher
Speaker 3: Lambert's mind, ye call it the mind wiper. And it
Speaker 3: just happens to be the stupid ass ride from the circus,
Speaker 3: the carnival ride where you spin around and get your
Speaker 3: ass dizzy to throw up. It's just to sell you
Speaker 3: that you can throw up the funnel cakes.
Speaker 5: So they have a monkey in there. I think that's yes,
Speaker 5: is what Michael Jackson's monkey bubbles. Remember that that's.
Speaker 3: Not you should lie to the audience.
Speaker 5: That'll make a better I just wanted to bring up
Speaker 5: bubbles because I like him. Why not, I'll bring up
Speaker 5: bubbles anytime. He apparently has some kind of upgrade and
Speaker 5: now he's a monkey.
Speaker 3: So the Deep State under the guys of virtual space.
Speaker 4: Industries, right, mm hmm?
Speaker 3: Really? Uh retard retard name for a company that deals
Speaker 3: with creating virtual spaces as an industry monkeys, which is like,
Speaker 3: but what The one interesting thing about this is that
Speaker 3: it is made clear that they have a secret relationship
Speaker 3: with the Deep State. So this is a public private
Speaker 3: deep state company that is tired of doing experiments on monkeys.
Speaker 3: Because the monkey turns into monkey assassin, he breaks free
Speaker 3: from the Deep State. I'm not kidding. So the monkey
Speaker 3: gets out of his mind, Wiper breaks free, and you
Speaker 3: said he goes and kills people.
Speaker 5: I don't know this, but he was going on a
Speaker 5: shooting spree.
Speaker 3: Mafia monkey all he needed. I would have liked this
Speaker 3: movie if they had just given him a cigar, because
Speaker 3: the monkey with a cigar is funny. But if he
Speaker 3: doesn't have a cigar, it's just he sucks. But a
Speaker 3: monkey with a cigar and like a Tommy gun. That
Speaker 3: would have been great.
Speaker 5: We need to watch that one where the gorilla is
Speaker 5: the butler.
Speaker 3: Oh my gosh, worst of all.
Speaker 5: Yeah, let's so the monkey.
Speaker 3: Anyway, they're mad because they can't figure out if it's
Speaker 3: really gonna work by turning monkeys into super intelligent monkey assassins.
Speaker 3: So they decide to RoboCup monkey. He literally looks like robocops.
Speaker 3: So they make a super soldier monkey. Yeah, and then
Speaker 3: they were like, all right, uh, let's find a let's
Speaker 3: find a beautiful slow boy to experiment on.
Speaker 5: Yes, well, YouTube, you said, YouTube says faith. He's a
Speaker 5: woman's fantasy.
Speaker 3: But which I thought was funny if they met him
Speaker 3: in this as Job.
Speaker 5: Job Job, that's his character's name. It's so stupid.
Speaker 3: He wears overall. It's like freaking Chucky, like a four
Speaker 3: year old, Like like he's on the he's on the
Speaker 3: box of play school toys. Like literally, I know he's
Speaker 3: dressed like Chucky. Yeah, I mean, come on, what slow
Speaker 3: boy actually does dress like Chunky in overalls? Come on,
Speaker 3: He's like he's like my buddy, dude, Oh yeah, totally
Speaker 3: my buddy.
Speaker 5: He just he gets around on hot wheels.
Speaker 3: Right, mm hmm, that's what I'm telling you. This movie
Speaker 3: is freaking funny, dude. I mean, you cannot take this
Speaker 3: movie seriously. It will crack you up.
Speaker 5: The evolution of the human mind, we have to take
Speaker 5: it seriously.
Speaker 3: Oh that's actually it's not PC, is it? Because they
Speaker 3: chose a slow boy and so it's not PC.
Speaker 5: Next step in evolution is VR, and it can turn
Speaker 5: all of the dumb dumbs into geniuses.
Speaker 3: That was you, just Jack. That was a stupid. Part
Speaker 3: of this movie was a jacking in. It's gonna lead
Speaker 3: to human evolution and we're all gonna get smart do
Speaker 3: once we can have Wikipedia in our head, We're gonna
Speaker 3: be so smart and everybody be a genius. Dude, it'll be.
Speaker 5: Awesome of Google in your brain.
Speaker 3: That's well, that's how they present it in the movie.
Speaker 3: And they even say the evolution of the human mind
Speaker 3: is virtual reality. I think that's what the Pierce Brosnan characters.
Speaker 5: I like how they're contrasting simple Jack's simple job. They're
Speaker 5: contrasting simple job religious beliefs. While he's in his simple state.
Speaker 3: Yeah he's a Christian, yeah, and he's but he's.
Speaker 5: A Christian who allows his priest to abuse him.
Speaker 3: Yes, he's raped and been pillaged and flagellated by a
Speaker 3: Roman Catholic priest who's a creeper weirdo, which is an
Speaker 3: interesting element that he put in there.
Speaker 5: But so I like how Pierce Brosnan in the beginning
Speaker 5: his girlfriend walks out of him because you're skipping he's
Speaker 5: in the pr We said all that.
Speaker 3: One thing that's funny about the movie, and you see
Speaker 3: this in all these dystopian older nineties ages, is that
Speaker 3: they project it like by twenty fifteen, twenty twenty two,
Speaker 3: vr'll be everywhere. Dude, is still not a thing. I mean,
Speaker 3: they keep trying and trying trying to push VR. I
Speaker 3: don't know why it's still not a thing. I mean
Speaker 3: I have not done Oculus or any of this stuff.
Speaker 3: But they're always wrong about the projections of the year, right,
Speaker 3: like where's the flying car.
Speaker 4: Nobody's doing VR. It's it's all lame, it's not cool.
Speaker 3: But in this time period, it was like, dude, wait
Speaker 3: till the Internet to where and everybody's in VR.
Speaker 5: Ye.
Speaker 3: And by the way, imagine being James Bond and to
Speaker 3: go from being James Bond to experimenting on Slow Boys.
Speaker 3: I mean, in this dumbass movie, what was Pierce Brosman thinking, Well.
Speaker 5: I like how she walks out on his double low
Speaker 5: ins because he's on the VR.
Speaker 3: That's my joke. You can have it.
Speaker 5: We wrote it down.
Speaker 3: He has this hot wife and she's like wanted to
Speaker 3: get frisky, and he's like, I'm in the middle of this.
Speaker 3: I'm in the middle of the VR and he's going
Speaker 3: into the VR and it's like and he's was he
Speaker 3: trying to have VR relations kit?
Speaker 5: I don't think they didn't show that. He's just ignoring
Speaker 5: her for the VR and she gets fed up and
Speaker 5: I'm like, well, that's the only thing that's true about
Speaker 5: this movie in the future is that all the women
Speaker 5: are gonna walk out because they're sick of them Internet.
Speaker 3: Well, they do mention the VR coitas at some point.
Speaker 3: It comes up as wait till everybody can have VRD,
Speaker 3: it's gonna be so rare.
Speaker 5: He takes that widow lady into the VR to do it,
Speaker 5: remember or the lady the milf, the milf.
Speaker 4: Yeah, the milf that simple Jack puts the moves on.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 3: This was in Flowers for aldron On too, because there's
Speaker 3: this point where so he's simple and then when his
Speaker 3: IQ starts going up, like he's doing whatever he's doing,
Speaker 3: and then he gets a certain point and he hits
Speaker 3: puberty and then he notices boobs.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's like, yeah, he was too simple and childlike before.
Speaker 3: That, but he's a grown man. It doesn't make any sense.
Speaker 5: I want Net, the Worldwide Net? What does that mean?
Speaker 3: Oh? That My note was that I'm talking about the
Speaker 3: way people thought about the Internet in the future.
Speaker 4: They were like, we're gonna.
Speaker 3: Have the Net and it'll be the world Wide Web,
Speaker 3: and you'll be able to surf it, and everybody will
Speaker 3: have the Net and we'll all be surfing it, and
Speaker 3: it's going to be so rad And they didn't realize
Speaker 3: that it was like the destruction of the whole universe.
Speaker 3: The Internet would bring the total dystopia collapse of.
Speaker 5: The dirtiest thing ever created.
Speaker 3: Well, they didn't in the movie. I guess you could
Speaker 3: actually argue the movie, Well, if you know the end
Speaker 3: the movie is kind of warning that the Internet, the
Speaker 3: Internet is going to lawn mow us. All that's what
Speaker 3: That's what happens. Remember, Oh, lawnmower over man, lawnmower lawnmowing. Yeah,
Speaker 3: and we're all tards, arts, we're all jobs, and we
Speaker 3: think we're gonna be turned into geniuses by by the
Speaker 3: surfing the web, and instead it's gonna it's gonna it's
Speaker 3: gonna mower minds because he mows that one guy's mind
Speaker 3: at the gas station.
Speaker 5: And every man is a god in the virtual world.
Speaker 3: Right, that's the that's the lure, the trap de bait. Dude, bro,
Speaker 3: it's gonna be so awesome when you can have sex
Speaker 3: with dragons in your virtual world. That's what you've always
Speaker 3: wanted to do.
Speaker 5: Right, Well, that's what they're all these futuristic movies. That's
Speaker 5: what they're doing in the VR or are right here right.
Speaker 3: Oh. I did have an instance one time recently where
Speaker 3: a slow boy was in front of me, uh and
Speaker 3: he pulled his pants down relieves himself and then pulled
Speaker 3: them back up and all within about five feet of
Speaker 3: me in the middle of a giant parking line with
Speaker 3: a bunch of people out there. That was an interesting
Speaker 3: event and that was true.
Speaker 5: Story that really I missed it. I was inside it.
Speaker 5: Let's see. Oh, the lawnmower, he calls it big Red
Speaker 5: because it's like a car.
Speaker 4: It's like his fire truck.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 3: And then Pierce bros And is like, oh, I'm so
Speaker 3: tired of experimenting on monkeys. If I could only but
Speaker 3: find a slow boy to experiment on. And then he
Speaker 3: walks out of his basement and what do you know
Speaker 3: next to him as a shed provided full with a
Speaker 3: slow boy right in front of Oh, well, here we go.
Speaker 3: So he lures Job into the apparatus. Yes, and they
Speaker 3: play video games right, well, they start with video games,
Speaker 3: oh yeah, and then it turns into it. By the way,
Speaker 3: why is the neighbor's kid who's like ten hanging out
Speaker 3: with Joe the full grown man chucky boy slow boy
Speaker 3: and they're in Pierce Brosn's basement. Isn't that a little weird?
Speaker 3: I mean, nobody's thought this was weird.
Speaker 5: But you always go over to your adult neighbor's house and.
Speaker 3: Play video games in the in the basement. And what's
Speaker 3: with the grounds keeps always being weirdos? They're they're always.
Speaker 5: Creepy groundskeeper Willie.
Speaker 4: If you're a damn groundskeep, dude, give it up.
Speaker 5: Well, remember when he first goes in ritual magic symbols.
Speaker 3: No, this is the second time. He brings him in
Speaker 3: and he says, I want to take you to the
Speaker 3: next level, and then he yeah. Then he feeds into
Speaker 3: him all of the ritual magic and shout out to
Speaker 3: Isaac Illuminati Watcher, heat will be he and I'll be
Speaker 3: chatting tomorrow night about a series he did. It was
Speaker 3: really cool. But Isaac also covered lownmore Man and his
Speaker 3: analysis was fun. And by the way, we didn't steal.
Speaker 3: I didn't steal. We didn't steal the simple jack joke.
Speaker 3: We thought of it also in concert with you, Isaac,
Speaker 3: we love you.
Speaker 5: It's super obvious.
Speaker 3: Is I think that the Ben Steeler movie had to
Speaker 3: be pulling from this?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 5: Probably? Oh and also there's alchemy symbols, right.
Speaker 3: So he uploads ritual magic into Jeff Ahey's head anyway,
Speaker 3: and this turns him not just so he has a
Speaker 3: stage where he's a genius player. He's like, turns into
Speaker 3: this genius player, but he actually looks like a gay
Speaker 3: version of Javier Bardow. He looks really weird.
Speaker 4: But then he.
Speaker 3: Goes from macin on the neighborhood mills to an insane
Speaker 3: god god man like he thinks he's got god power.
Speaker 3: He starts developing god power, yes, psychic power, yes, you know,
Speaker 3: can make stuff fly around, And it's just it turns
Speaker 3: into total idiots.
Speaker 5: So the more time you spend in virtuality, the more
Speaker 5: cool powers you have.
Speaker 3: And he just keeps downloading more information into his head
Speaker 3: and he's evolving, evolving, evolving to become.
Speaker 4: The new God.
Speaker 3: And then he faces off against the Crucifix in the
Speaker 3: virtual world, and he's like trying to defeat Jesus in
Speaker 3: the virtual world. It is just I don't know what
Speaker 3: drug Steve King was.
Speaker 5: On hedgerom inside that vre it was.
Speaker 3: I mean, it was really really this is a really,
Speaker 3: really stupid movie. It's only good because it's freaking hilarious.
Speaker 3: But it does show that that that Silicon Valley and
Speaker 3: the Militransditional Complex Deep State are totally the same, and
Speaker 3: the Militrandis complex is behind the Silicon Valley companies private companies,
Speaker 3: quote unquote, and that this is being put out for
Speaker 3: everyone's social engineering they call the puppet masters in the movie.
Speaker 5: Yeah, did they mention neotropics in there?
Speaker 3: Yeah, they mentioned neotropic drugs like limitless pills, which I
Speaker 3: just thought was an odd reference.
Speaker 4: But I'll give them one point.
Speaker 3: For lost, forgotten, archaic eighties terminology that is no longer
Speaker 3: used or heard. Dutical.
Speaker 5: I never heard that before.
Speaker 4: We always enjoy the slang that never made it.
Speaker 5: Trying to make dutical happen.
Speaker 3: Yeah, dutical never happened. And then I got a kick
Speaker 3: out of taking dope. It's a great boomer phrase for
Speaker 3: the drug.
Speaker 5: They have a saturn cube for a logo.
Speaker 3: I think they did. They had some kind of weird
Speaker 3: cube logo for the company that was like a box
Speaker 3: and it was very Saturnalian. But I mean this has
Speaker 3: the same gnostic themes, right of like over Coming to
Speaker 3: demi Urge. You know, he goes into the virtual world
Speaker 3: and he wants to become God. The whole point is apotheosis,
Speaker 3: The whole point is transhumanism.
Speaker 5: He wants to upload himself and merge with it.
Speaker 3: Well, he wants out of the complex's motherboard. He's stuck
Speaker 3: in the computer motherboard at the Military Inditional Complex, Silicon
Speaker 3: Valley companies. He's at Facebook or whatever. He wants out
Speaker 3: of that. Uh, and he's fighting Pierce Brosnan and the kid.
Speaker 3: That whole scene is hilarious and then, uh, you know,
Speaker 3: spoiler alert, I wonder if he got out and then
Speaker 3: all every phone in the world rings in the last sequence.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, he's so he got out to do what
Speaker 3: to call everybody?
Speaker 4: Harassed?
Speaker 3: Everybody like these damn robocollars. But basically he just turned
Speaker 3: into like the robocolor that called you Jenny Dunn's you have.
Speaker 5: Do you want to hear that story? You have to
Speaker 5: listen to boiler Rooms.
Speaker 3: You must replace the Lacheng Corleston within four hours or
Speaker 3: are we going to put you in dinner? You have
Speaker 3: been working, would have been in London? Where are we at? Existence?
Speaker 5: This one? I can't read yours?
Speaker 3: Yes you can, I'll help you read it.
Speaker 5: Okay, that's your job, sleep reader.
Speaker 3: Welcome everybody. We got three hundred nerds. You're watching Jay's analysis.
Speaker 3: We're doing next up. David Cronenberg My new sort of
Speaker 3: favorite director, Existence.
Speaker 5: Existence, Existence, This one.
Speaker 4: Jude Law and uh, what's your face?
Speaker 3: Jennifer Jason Leeke.
Speaker 5: This one creeps me out.
Speaker 3: It's a creepy movie. It's good.
Speaker 5: Mm hmm.
Speaker 3: Like all David Cronenberg movies, they're unsettling. And the first
Speaker 3: time I watched it, I was unsettled, but I was
Speaker 3: still into it. The second time I watched it, I
Speaker 3: liked it even more. I'm glad we watched it. I
Speaker 3: do recommend existing by right back to how many overalls
Speaker 3: do you give lawnmar.
Speaker 5: Man eight and a half?
Speaker 3: Yeah, just on the basis of whether the movie is
Speaker 3: good or not. Yeah, uh yeah, I'll give it three
Speaker 3: and a half overalls. What do you do with a
Speaker 3: half overall? It's beautiful, like you hang it off, like.
Speaker 5: Yeah, when they used to do that one.
Speaker 3: You'll see Chasing Waterfalls b.
Speaker 2: That was the.
Speaker 5: Biggest song of nineteen ninety five. Where you at slave
Speaker 5: units in existence? What does that mean?
Speaker 3: So the film begins with this weird meeting of people
Speaker 3: at a former church. It's an old church and this
Speaker 3: crew of people is there to try out I think
Speaker 3: they call it Slave Units, and it's a new video
Speaker 3: game that's being developed, and it's like this weird almost
Speaker 3: looks like human organs that you squish on and stick
Speaker 3: into you.
Speaker 4: To jack into the matrix, stick it in with.
Speaker 5: Like an umbilical cord thing.
Speaker 3: It looks like an ambilical cord and also has sexual
Speaker 3: ish connotation. It looks like yeah, yeah, and uh, I
Speaker 3: think they're called somebody. Something's called slavey in the thing
Speaker 3: that you have is called your slavey unit. So you
Speaker 3: in the in this dystopian future, everyone carries around their
Speaker 3: virtual world bodily organ with them. So Cronenberg, I guess,
Speaker 3: thought it would be interesting to merge the worlds of
Speaker 3: technology and biology into you know, as if this thing
Speaker 3: was like an organ probably like where we're going with
Speaker 3: these phones and whatnot, Right, they'll be like organs. So
Speaker 3: it's a video game summit corporations. They're testing out this
Speaker 3: game that's been developed, and they they liken it to
Speaker 3: a virtual religious experience. So already Kronenberg is all right,
Speaker 3: and there's there's no doubt about this that the film
Speaker 3: has this gnostic connotation to it. Right, this world is
Speaker 3: the real virtual world. The architect of the virtual world
Speaker 3: is the crazy psycho. And can you beat the video game?
Speaker 3: Like this life is the video game? Right, God, the creator,
Speaker 3: God is the boss of the video game. Basically alone
Speaker 3: with games, I don't everybody's just alone, I guess, is
Speaker 3: what we're saying. The other thing that's funny about this
Speaker 3: that doesn't make sense is that the whole maybe this
Speaker 3: was a clue to tell you that this is once
Speaker 3: again shocker, surprise or alert. You're not really in the
Speaker 3: real world, You're in the matrix.
Speaker 5: Yeah, there's always that, which reality is real? Element?
Speaker 3: Julu is his name is Ted Pickle. Then he say
Speaker 3: his name is Ted Pickle. P I k I thought
Speaker 3: that was funny. I don't know, but no Pickle p.
Speaker 5: I k u l uher the demonste Goddess. So she's
Speaker 5: the Sophia or is she the DeMier?
Speaker 3: They call her the demon as the goddess because she
Speaker 3: is supposedly behind she's the badassest game creator. Remember the
Speaker 3: Jennifer Jason Leeue character is the most the awesomest game
Speaker 3: designer in the future. And so there is an attack
Speaker 3: on the testing display what do you call it where
Speaker 3: you're testing.
Speaker 5: Out a yeah, anyway, But the funny thing about.
Speaker 3: It the attack though, and he runs away with her Jude.
Speaker 5: Laws all right. The funny thing about that was the
Speaker 5: meeting have like boomers in it, Like that was what
Speaker 5: I was going to say.
Speaker 4: One of these boomers are going to be playing.
Speaker 5: This game interested in the game.
Speaker 3: Like that should have been a clue. Ah. So they
Speaker 3: do identify Allegra as the goddess, the Demon, the demon
Speaker 3: s and so some guy comes in and death to
Speaker 3: the demon s Olegre Geller, and he tries to kill
Speaker 3: her and she runs off of Jude Law. And then
Speaker 3: so Jude Law is, you know, now on his adventure
Speaker 3: with her. What does this say?
Speaker 5: Games, bullet tooth, bone gun.
Speaker 3: I don't know what that. Yeah, sometimes I can never
Speaker 3: remind note. Uh, yeah, there's some weird stuff with bodily
Speaker 3: parts and fluids and goo and mush and all that.
Speaker 3: That's always going on, I guess in David Cronenberg movies.
Speaker 3: But uh, the.
Speaker 4: Bone gun actually comes up later.
Speaker 3: That's another that's one of the keys to let you
Speaker 3: know when you're not and when you are in it
Speaker 3: aren't in the matrix?
Speaker 5: Okay, but what is this called totems?
Speaker 3: Yeah, like an inception. Yeah, in this dystopian future, it's
Speaker 3: just like like in thirteenth Floor, you can go into
Speaker 3: other matrixes in the matrix. So when you go in,
Speaker 3: you can then go into a store where you buy
Speaker 3: other games inside the game. So then you get lost
Speaker 3: into in the sense of what was real reality. Hence
Speaker 3: why At a philosophical level, I think David Cronenberg is
Speaker 3: asking us an existential less question existence, what is existence?
Speaker 4: What is actually real?
Speaker 3: And if these virtual realities do come to be indistinguishable
Speaker 3: and we go into them or whatever, how will we
Speaker 3: even know what is real? And will we even forget
Speaker 3: to come back to the one that is real. I mean,
Speaker 3: I don't think that's really going to happen. But that
Speaker 3: was that's the question he's raising.
Speaker 5: That was Jude Law's worry. His character was always worried,
Speaker 5: like how do I know what?
Speaker 3: Yes, he keeps asking her, yeah, and she doesn't really
Speaker 3: answer him. She doesn't really give a clear answers to win.
Speaker 3: How he'll know my.
Speaker 5: Body be okay if I go into the VR.
Speaker 3: So this world, this reality is the lowest level of reality.
Speaker 3: The there is a great architect God that we think
Speaker 3: is well, actually we we do know that it's Allegra.
Speaker 3: She is the the real uh savior here Gmo bug,
Speaker 3: there's something new with genetically modified.
Speaker 5: In the VR world. There's weird insects and so that's.
Speaker 3: Oh, they've genetically modified these weird beings. Yeah, and that's
Speaker 3: a clue that you're not in the real world because
Speaker 3: it's like a bug with like five heads and you
Speaker 3: know no physical what only that remone notes scheme. I
Speaker 3: don't know, that just makes sense. We'll go whatever, living biocomputers. Oh,
Speaker 3: it's presenting humans as if they're living biocomputers. And then
Speaker 3: amphibian eggs. There was something crazy to do with fish. Oh,
Speaker 3: that's right. The way that they create these computers is
Speaker 3: through fish eggs, and they modify, genetically modify seafood and
Speaker 3: fish to be storage units for computers. Remember that.
Speaker 4: And you are the body.
Speaker 3: So this is actually something that they're rolling out nowadays,
Speaker 3: which is that the human body and its energy itself
Speaker 3: will actually power the slave devices that track and trace you.
Speaker 3: Claus talks about that, but that's been mentioned by the
Speaker 3: techoleee for a long time. The trout farm, don't they
Speaker 3: mention the GMO trout and that they couldn't tell the
Speaker 3: difference between the real trout and the fake trout. This
Speaker 3: is all going on at a Chinese gut factory.
Speaker 5: A restaurant to remember.
Speaker 3: Well, the restaurant is the front for the gut factory,
Speaker 3: and they're genetically modifying the eggs at this factory for
Speaker 3: to make the video game.
Speaker 4: Yes, so there is this.
Speaker 3: David Cronenberg I likes to utilize the macabre, the absurd,
Speaker 3: the Grotesque, as it's called in literature. If you read
Speaker 3: Flannery O'Connor The Grotesque, it is a metaphysical movie. Not
Speaker 3: a lot of movies are bound up with metaphysical questions.
Speaker 3: And so, even though obviously I don't agree with David
Speaker 3: Kroneberg's I'm sure he's a gnostic, but he does at
Speaker 3: least ask metaphysical questions in movies, which is pretty rare.
Speaker 3: So even though he's probably denying that there is a
Speaker 3: real world, I'll give him points before I'll give him
Speaker 3: a four Jude Law teeth and three fish guns because
Speaker 3: he's he's asking interesting questions. What does that say energies
Speaker 3: of reality can't agree? I got to write better notes man. Anyway, So,
Speaker 3: as you can imagine spoiler alert, the real world was
Speaker 3: not the real world. It was all layers of matrix.
Speaker 3: But they eventually do get out of the matrix, and
Speaker 3: Jude Law is there too. Doesn't he shoot Allegra at
Speaker 3: the end? Yeah? Right, yes, Jude Law is the assassin.
Speaker 3: He shoots Allegra. Yeah, because the idea is that she
Speaker 3: is the demon goddess who designed this matrix?
Speaker 5: Right, sorry?
Speaker 2: Yes?
Speaker 3: And Jude Law questions this this game. Well, actually doesn't
Speaker 3: he shoot two other people? He doesn't shoot her?
Speaker 5: Is?
Speaker 3: I can't remember, I'll forgotten it. I forgot how the
Speaker 3: movie ends, and I can't read my note what it
Speaker 3: says hit by a car? Oh, that's one of the
Speaker 3: games you can play, get hit by a car. That's
Speaker 3: some fun anyway. Existence is a great movie.
Speaker 5: I give it, and the only hook up in the
Speaker 5: virtual world, not the real world.
Speaker 4: You don't remember how it ends?
Speaker 3: Chat? How does it end? I'm sorry, I'm getting I'm
Speaker 3: getting tired in my mind as all mush. I did
Speaker 3: a lot of exercise today, so I don't know what.
Speaker 3: I can't hardly talk.
Speaker 5: We got two more?
Speaker 3: Can we make it through two more? If you guys
Speaker 3: want to support me, yeah, I feel free. We got
Speaker 3: a few super chats. I'll read a couple of super
Speaker 3: chats John for three dollars. It would be good. Would
Speaker 3: God be cool with me let letting someone use my
Speaker 3: Amazon Flex account to make deliveries and get paid for
Speaker 3: the use of my account. I don't I'm not an
Speaker 3: ethical consultant. I'm not gonna go. But I don't think
Speaker 3: that's a big deal. I don't know, but Finn fine
Speaker 3: topic yeah, go ask or the duxburies. That's not my job.
Speaker 3: Would you say nacissism is a form of goddess worship
Speaker 3: because of the Sofia thing. Yes, it has elements of polytheism. Yeah,
Speaker 3: and so absolutely, the goddess definitely plays a huge role
Speaker 3: in the Gnostic mythos and in all the different systems.
Speaker 3: Troi la Mexicano for five dollars. All the Mexicans are
Speaker 3: considered extinct in futuristic sci fi movies.
Speaker 5: It's a movie explaining why we aren't around anything.
Speaker 3: He says. Lol. Yeah, I've never really, I've never thought
Speaker 3: about that question.
Speaker 5: It was remember that movie Read Dawn with the high
Speaker 5: school kids. Of course it was Mexico and Russia and
Speaker 5: China invading.
Speaker 3: Well and no, it's they invaded through Mexico and it
Speaker 3: was like communists from El Salvador's Mexican.
Speaker 5: Oh okay, but.
Speaker 3: Man, that's a great question. I've never even thought about it.
Speaker 3: Isn't Antonio, Oh he doesn't count because he's from Spain.
Speaker 3: There's some there's some futuristic movie with Antonio Banderas.
Speaker 4: Sorry, dude, that's the closest you got, is.
Speaker 3: Like Antonio Banderas because he's in some b B sci.
Speaker 5: Fi movie, So maybe more Mexican authors should write sci fi.
Speaker 4: Yeah, there you go, Joelo, right, rite your sci fi
Speaker 4: thing where.
Speaker 3: All the honkys are going and you know it's like.
Speaker 6: Machette cheech and chong and then that's it and you
Speaker 6: and then you guys have to yeah, yeah, you guys
Speaker 6: have to repopulate the earth with the four uh uh
Speaker 6: what are they called?
Speaker 3: The Latina girl? The laws Cholette's.
Speaker 5: Okay, well, where's Penelope Cruise from?
Speaker 3: I'm gonna get more coffee from Mexico. She's Spanish? Got
Speaker 3: how does she say?
Speaker 5: It?
Speaker 3: Comes my mind?
Speaker 5: Is mush keep talking to the People's all right, we're
Speaker 5: gonna do Vanilla Sky and all these are your notes,
Speaker 5: I can't read them. Let's see scientology. So this probably
Speaker 5: has an element of the l Ron Hubbard in it.
Speaker 5: Remake of a foreign film. Oh yeah, so it was
Speaker 5: a was it a Mexican film or a Spanish film?
Speaker 5: But Penelope Cruise was in both Vanilla Skuys. There's the
Speaker 5: Dakota building that is famous. It uses that building that
Speaker 5: you can see that in Roseberry's Baby, and that's the
Speaker 5: building where John Lennon was shot.
Speaker 1: Yeah, ju.
Speaker 5: Was the other Vanilla Sky Mexican.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 3: I thought it was a Spanish film.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it was in Spanish. I'm not sure who's I
Speaker 5: don't think it's.
Speaker 3: A Mexican film. And Penelope Cruise not for Mexico. Uh yeah,
Speaker 3: I want to do this this pretty soon.
Speaker 2: Here.
Speaker 3: This is the classic you know what happened with AMR
Speaker 3: David Chapman and all that stuff. That'll be a fun
Speaker 3: one to do. But the Dakota Building is relevant for
Speaker 3: this because she said it's got all these historic connections.
Speaker 3: So and I even watched the DVD commentary and they
Speaker 3: said they intentionally chose the Dakoda Building for all those
Speaker 3: weird past events. And then you even see in the
Speaker 3: opening sequence the camera flies in like a demon, almost,
Speaker 3: which I think, doesn't it do that in Rosemary's Baby?
Speaker 3: I can't remember. Coffee's weak, Dudes, doesn't even do anything.
Speaker 3: It's like coffee pissed and I'm drinking the piss of
Speaker 3: the coffee. So it's not doing anything. It's two weak.
Speaker 4: It is a remake of the Foreign film.
Speaker 3: I know that. I know that everybody's always the foreign field. Well,
Speaker 3: nobody watches Foreign films really so, I mean, some dude, but.
Speaker 5: Uh, VR simulation right.
Speaker 3: Well, if it's in the whole series that we're doing
Speaker 3: on VR, we know it's a VR movie. So I'm
Speaker 3: assuming you've all seen the movie and you know that
Speaker 3: it's a simulation.
Speaker 4: Of course, when you first watched the movie, you're kind
Speaker 4: of WHOA.
Speaker 3: I didn't realize that, And I also wasn't sure until
Speaker 3: I went back and watched some of the DVD commentary.
Speaker 3: At what point he was in this simulation future state?
Speaker 3: And it's when he passes out in the street.
Speaker 5: Oh, Vanilla Sky is also the name of a painting.
Speaker 3: That's why when he looks up after he passes out,
Speaker 3: he looks up and sees the sky. I look like that.
Speaker 4: Yeah, because this is his personal.
Speaker 5: And paint is like a fantasy.
Speaker 3: It's his personal VR because he saw the painting earlier
Speaker 3: in his apartment.
Speaker 5: Yeah. It's also a Beautiles song. I yes, it is
Speaker 5: a sure?
Speaker 3: Well this does how well?
Speaker 1: Bet?
Speaker 5: Every time he was a bet he has to watch
Speaker 5: a dog movie with me, so he won't bet it's
Speaker 5: a Beatles song.
Speaker 4: This is a dog movie.
Speaker 5: Vanilla Sky Beatles.
Speaker 3: I didn't. I didn't say that it wasn't true. Uh,
Speaker 3: it's Paul McCartney, So I don't I don't know if
Speaker 3: that counts. That's not Beatles is now, it's not. Paul
Speaker 3: McCartney is not the Beatles. Dom to know. Paul McCartney
Speaker 3: is not the Beatles. The real Beatles are John Lennon.
Speaker 5: I think it is a whole Beatles song.
Speaker 3: It's Paul McCartney. Okay, so you know he had his
Speaker 3: own solo career. Anyway, where are we at? Oh? So
Speaker 3: it begins with him running and he sees the empty
Speaker 3: Times Square and then he wakes up. Uh. It's by
Speaker 3: the way, this reminded me of that movie Quiet Earth,
Speaker 3: which is a B sci fi movie that's actually really good.
Speaker 3: The guy thinks he's the last go on Earth. It's
Speaker 3: a fun movie that's like a Cern type of thing
Speaker 3: where Cern went nuts and deleted everybody somehow.
Speaker 4: Anyway, watch Quiet Earth if you've never seen it.
Speaker 3: If you're looking for a good B sci independent sci
Speaker 3: fi movie that's that's fun from the eighties. It's a
Speaker 3: I think it's New Zealand movie or Australia.
Speaker 5: Anyway, Open open, I'll tell you in another life when
Speaker 5: we are both cats.
Speaker 3: That's a good Penelope, but she says open open your
Speaker 3: eyes and.
Speaker 4: Then Tom wakes up.
Speaker 3: Uh, And so this is also like inception. Notice the
Speaker 3: similarity between the Virtual World's themes and movies and dream
Speaker 3: State movies. Naturally they're all the same. How do we
Speaker 3: know what would be the difference. So he almost wrecks
Speaker 3: his car in that opening sequence with Jason Lee if
Speaker 3: you were noticed, And that's a pre signifier foreshadowing that
Speaker 3: everything that's happening in this beginning part is kind of
Speaker 3: leading up to the central folk sigeh of the Virtual World, right,
Speaker 3: because he's gonna have the crazy car wreck with Cameron
Speaker 3: Diaz right foreshadowing.
Speaker 5: Oh and kmeron Diaz. She's such a pathetic character in this.
Speaker 3: Like total Yeah, she plays crazy bitch who turns into
Speaker 3: crazy bitch.
Speaker 5: Yeah, poor girl chasing a guy who does not care
Speaker 5: about her.
Speaker 3: And Tom Cruise is the son of some big publishing
Speaker 3: mogul who basically he runs the equivalent of Rolling Stone.
Speaker 5: No, they call him like Citizen Kane. First character, Tom.
Speaker 4: Cruise runs what's the equivalent of Rolling Stone?
Speaker 2: I know?
Speaker 5: And his board they call him the Seven Dwars.
Speaker 3: Yeah, well there are mythological or fairy tale references in
Speaker 3: the movie. And that's because ultimately this is a Luciferian
Speaker 3: themed movie. In mind you, because I actually think the
Speaker 3: movie is quasi scientology related, not with all the alien
Speaker 3: bugs attached to thetans and all that stuff, but just
Speaker 3: the whole idea of you know, I mean, Tom plays
Speaker 3: a big role in the production of this movie. I
Speaker 3: do believe that scientologists believe in cryogenetic freezing, and that's
Speaker 3: what this movie is about, I think. So if I'm
Speaker 3: wrong about that, I'm sure somebody the chat can't correct.
Speaker 5: We see that Walt disneyeded that, and then nobody could
Speaker 5: prove that.
Speaker 2: Right.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, and thank you. Shout out to Father Deacon.
Speaker 3: Right Penelope Cruise that is in both versions, which is
Speaker 3: an interesting thing. She plays in the Spanish end in
Speaker 3: this one. Where are we at.
Speaker 5: Nineties?
Speaker 3: Yeah, his dad is the citizen Kane type of character.
Speaker 3: Then we see the mask. Now this is interesting because
Speaker 3: what year is this? What your is this two thousand?
Speaker 3: So this is a couple of years after Eyeswait shut
Speaker 3: and Tom and the mask. You know this is a
Speaker 3: weird thing.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, it looks like an eyes white shut mask.
Speaker 5: It does. He's wearing a kind of yeah.
Speaker 3: So I think we can surmise that there's quasi similar
Speaker 3: themes going on here with waking up. All right, this
Speaker 3: movie continually says, wake up, wake up, wake up, open
Speaker 3: your eyes, wake up now alarm clocks. Yes. On one level,
Speaker 3: that's because the whole point of the movie is that
Speaker 3: he's in a cryogenetic virtual state, he's in the matrix.
Speaker 3: But on another level, the allegory of the movie is
Speaker 3: a Luciferian wake up to this world being the creation
Speaker 3: of your own consciousness. You are ultimately your own God.
Speaker 3: That's how the movie ends with the statement you are
Speaker 3: your own God. And then the final scene is an
Speaker 3: open an eye closed and opening eyes white shut, eyes open.
Speaker 3: Where does this take place?
Speaker 4: New York? Where does the eyes? Why should I take
Speaker 4: place New York?
Speaker 5: Who's the director of this?
Speaker 2: Uh?
Speaker 5: Somebody?
Speaker 3: Is it Cameron Crow?
Speaker 5: No?
Speaker 3: No, what's his name?
Speaker 5: No?
Speaker 4: I just looked the other day.
Speaker 2: What was it?
Speaker 3: Is this? Steven Sidberg? It is camera Crow. Don't ever
Speaker 3: challenge me. I should have bet, and then I would
Speaker 3: have to watch a dog damn dog movie. Stupid farting,
Speaker 3: barfing dog movies. Where are we at with him anyway.
Speaker 3: So Tom's got the mask, and so the story is
Speaker 3: told out of chronological order because he's we see these
Speaker 3: events and then we flash to him talking to his
Speaker 3: jail appointed psychiatrist Kurt Russell, who is his father figure archetype, right,
Speaker 3: remember that, because this is the virtual world and he
Speaker 3: constructs his father figure archetype from movies that he's watched,
Speaker 3: like To Kill a Mockingbird Gregory Peck.
Speaker 5: Isn't it one of those movies? We had a note
Speaker 5: about Carl Young's shadows self, like you, I went to
Speaker 5: the VR so that you can experience your shadows. Remember
Speaker 5: that I think was that thirteenth floor?
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's in thirteenth floor. Yeah. So the mask obviously
Speaker 3: has a lot of significance. Go watch my Eyes Wide
Speaker 3: Shut full documentary, the most popular video on the channel
Speaker 3: if you want to see my whole analysis of that
Speaker 3: in the mask and that significance. Obviously, we're living in
Speaker 3: a period of masks being forced, so we know that
Speaker 3: masks have a lot of meaning and significance. But in
Speaker 3: this sense it has to do with alternative hidden personas
Speaker 3: or the person behind what.
Speaker 4: Appears to be the case.
Speaker 3: So the subconscious is the real person or the real
Speaker 3: the location of the of what where reality springs forth
Speaker 3: from our subconscious in the view of like Carl Jung
Speaker 3: And this is obviously got you know, Youngian influence. Penelope Cruise.
Speaker 3: By the way, there is they keep referring to the
Speaker 3: keys of the Kingdom, the keys of the Kingdom. Now,
Speaker 3: in one sense it's the citizen Kane father character that
Speaker 3: is absent right, so absentee father god Tom Cruise has
Speaker 3: the keys to the kingdom, the keys to the Kingdom.
Speaker 3: There also can be an esoteric significance to this.
Speaker 5: There's a what.
Speaker 3: Right, there is some reference to that. I can't recall
Speaker 3: what it is all the top of my head. But
Speaker 3: Penelope Crew, well, I mean you can have the key
Speaker 3: to opening up the altars. Right, that's the kingdom, the
Speaker 3: inner kingdom. Penelope Cruz plays a Sofia.
Speaker 4: She's the Sofia character.
Speaker 3: She's what he's missing to be complete and to complete
Speaker 3: his awakening. And her name is Sofia, right, that's on purpose.
Speaker 5: Oh, they have holographic entertainers, remember that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's hologram Louis Armstrong or whatever it is there,
Speaker 3: just like you'll see an eyes white shut there's masks.
Speaker 3: When he goes to the girl's apartment. Remember Tom Cruise
Speaker 3: wandering through the streets, meets some girl, goes into her apartment.
Speaker 3: That's eyes wide shot with Domino. That's here with Penelope, right,
Speaker 3: he wanders into her apartment with her. She's got masks
Speaker 3: on her fridge. Domino masks on her apartment. That's intentional.
Speaker 3: There is I think a connection between a loose association
Speaker 3: with the two movies, if for.
Speaker 4: Anything Tom Cruise.
Speaker 3: But obviously the masks play a big role in both films.
Speaker 3: But Vanilla Sky, we find out, is the painting that
Speaker 3: he owns. And he shows this off and brags about
Speaker 3: it to Penelope Cruise, right, because he's trying to win
Speaker 3: her over. She's playing a little hard to get, so
Speaker 3: he's kind of interested in her over Cameron Diaz, who's
Speaker 3: like the hot blonde and she's, you know, got all
Speaker 3: these famous friends, and she's in some kind of alt
Speaker 3: band that sucks right, like a Courtney Love type of character.
Speaker 3: And but I'll be Cruz is just this normal New
Speaker 3: York girl attending Juilliard or whatever. So he's he's attracted
Speaker 3: to that because she's foreign to his whole you know Kingdom.
Speaker 5: She's more authentic, and yeah, he can't.
Speaker 3: The Kevir Diaz gets on his nerves. I said, his
Speaker 3: mind is blown for a basic bitch because she's like
Speaker 3: the most boring, normal New York girl. She's like, I like,
Speaker 3: what is she like cats and dance? There's nothing interesting
Speaker 3: about her actually, and he's just like whoa, you know.
Speaker 3: The Kurt Russell archetype, as we said, is like the
Speaker 3: Jiminy Cricket conscience guide. He's the father figure archetype who's
Speaker 3: trying to help Tom figure out what's going on in
Speaker 3: this mental labyrinth. This one, by the way, is the
Speaker 3: most philosophically deep of the movies, except for maybe Video Drum.
Speaker 3: Video Drum's pretty pretty philosophically dense, but I think Vanov's
Speaker 3: Sky is pretty much equal to it. But Kurt Russell
Speaker 3: tells him time is not our friend, and so he's
Speaker 3: trying to get him to uh figure out what's going
Speaker 3: on before there's some sort of impending doom which Tom
Speaker 3: is blaming himself for all of his problems. He's thinking,
Speaker 3: I did this, I did this, I did this. So
Speaker 3: he's basically created his own little mental prison in the
Speaker 3: virtual world. That he's in. But what's fascinating is while
Speaker 3: he's in there doing these Kurt Russell therapy sessions, he
Speaker 3: sees that stupid dog on the TV that was cryogenically frozen.
Speaker 3: Was his name? What was his name?
Speaker 4: Benny?
Speaker 3: And they say that the dog was successfully frozen and
Speaker 3: unfrozen like dog sickle work. This is a clue. This
Speaker 3: is supposed to be a clue to Tom Cruise to
Speaker 3: telling him what happened. He's trying to remember.
Speaker 5: Remember when Benny came back and he wasn't really had
Speaker 5: no personality.
Speaker 3: So this is Tom's subconscious in this virtual realm telling
Speaker 3: him in these clues what's really going on? Remember, then
Speaker 3: we find out, oh, by the way, you're a frozen
Speaker 3: and you're dead probably sort of. And you were last
Speaker 3: alive when you were wandering around the city with the
Speaker 3: peneloty Cruise and you had that mask on. You fell
Speaker 3: over in the street. That's when you went into a coma.
Speaker 3: Isn't he in a coma? Remember? He fell into a
Speaker 3: coma and then they put him in and he had
Speaker 3: in a clause in his will or something that he
Speaker 3: would go to this elite cryogenics place, remember, and that
Speaker 3: what it is, Tom coma?
Speaker 5: I thought he was in a coma after the accident.
Speaker 3: Tomk koom cruise what Yes, that was my good the one. Uh,
Speaker 3: what do you mean? It was an accident.
Speaker 5: He was in an accident before he went into the crowd,
Speaker 5: and that's why.
Speaker 3: He chose that, I thought the last.
Speaker 5: And then he got out and he had a bad
Speaker 5: face and he had a bad date, and that's when
Speaker 5: he chose to go.
Speaker 3: Yes. Was it suicide? Oh? Yeah, And they told him
Speaker 3: that they wiped his memory of doing it.
Speaker 5: Yeah, And so they're like, we'll start.
Speaker 4: You at the whatever whatever point you want to be.
Speaker 5: Starting you in and then so you don't know when
Speaker 5: he's entered the.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and the power up peoples of the of the
Speaker 3: corporation signified the change of power in his life. Because
Speaker 3: the whole message of this movie is that you are
Speaker 3: your own God. And when you figure out your your
Speaker 3: own God, you're no longer bound by your conscience telling
Speaker 3: you that you have a duty to sky God or
Speaker 3: your father right, because your father figure is who is
Speaker 3: your authority?
Speaker 4: That's the the sky God is your archetype.
Speaker 3: Right, you blow the Father God or whatever that you
Speaker 3: that you think you're morally bound to the whole point
Speaker 3: of this movie is that you're luciferianly free from all
Speaker 3: of these things if you will only wake up, and I'll.
Speaker 5: Pay attention to all the synchronicities that are telling you.
Speaker 3: Yes, the synchronicities of life will mystically lead you to
Speaker 3: your Luciferian awakenings. Yes, let's see. So he's on trial
Speaker 3: though for what beating her up? Right?
Speaker 4: So you don't know.
Speaker 3: If he's lost his mind, right, I mean, because we
Speaker 3: know the end of the movie, But during the course
Speaker 3: of the film, you don't know if he's lost his mind.
Speaker 4: And he keeps seeing.
Speaker 3: Penelope turned into Cameron Diaz and back and forth, and
Speaker 3: so he beats the crap out of her, right, and
Speaker 3: then he goes to jail.
Speaker 4: Tom cringe is what I called it, Tom Cringe.
Speaker 3: And then Kurt Russell is trying to help him recall
Speaker 3: his memory. This is another thing with gnostic philosophy, is
Speaker 3: the idea that you have to recall your your true
Speaker 3: primeval state. We're all trying to recall. This is the
Speaker 3: whole platonic idea of metam psychosis and transmigration of souls
Speaker 3: is to recall what it was like in our god state,
Speaker 3: when we were the one, when we were God. Right,
Speaker 3: because we've fallen into this this material world in that.
Speaker 5: System, we forgot that we were gods man.
Speaker 3: Yes, exactly, remember that you were God. Bro Let's see,
Speaker 3: I don't remember what. He gets facial reconstruction and he
Speaker 3: kind of looks sort of normal in.
Speaker 5: His fantasy never coort.
Speaker 3: And then the stupidest part of this whole movie is
Speaker 3: when he and this is actually a key to the
Speaker 3: meaning of the movie, which is that awful song what
Speaker 3: if God was of us? Just a love one of us?
Speaker 3: And this is the clue to tell you that you're
Speaker 3: in your own mental god world. Tom, We're in Tom
Speaker 3: God world. Cringe Cruise, God, God Cruise, We're in God
Speaker 3: cruise mode. Remember that awful song, pure garbage. Uh. He
Speaker 3: gets a pepto bismal mask. I don't know what that
Speaker 3: note means. It just looks like it's pink.
Speaker 4: Is this a dream?
Speaker 3: Right? Oh?
Speaker 4: That was Another clue to the fact.
Speaker 3: That he was in the virtual dream state was that
Speaker 3: the cars didn't match up to the time period. Remember
Speaker 3: that they were like if these cars and certain scenes,
Speaker 3: So if you pay attention, you would notice some of
Speaker 3: the scenes that you know that doesn't make sense. So
Speaker 3: he goes to his he meets hiss like his scientology
Speaker 3: handler dude who's creeping around following him around town. Who
Speaker 3: is the guy from the corporation the crowd genis corporation
Speaker 3: in reality sent in as a AI to tell him
Speaker 3: or whatever that he's in his dream state virtual world.
Speaker 3: They played a Bowie song and I started ground control
Speaker 3: to crazy Tom because he's going crazy. So Bowie, that's
Speaker 3: my David Bowie. Wake up Tom. Oh. And there's also
Speaker 3: perhaps an MK culture Hollywood star meltdown. Remember how sometimes
Speaker 3: Brittany m Kelter's stars have the meltdown and they go
Speaker 3: crazy or they beat up people and they don't know
Speaker 3: what's going.
Speaker 5: On any of them.
Speaker 3: Yeah, now I'm talking about the Tom Cruise character having
Speaker 3: an altered mental melting. He can't remember and he doesn't
Speaker 3: know what happened. Yeah, So is there an mk Ulter
Speaker 3: element to this? Maybe perhaps?
Speaker 4: And then the movie goes into the whole syllipsism.
Speaker 3: Reality It is your mind, bro. Uh. The dream state
Speaker 3: blends with reality, so we have surrealism ewat shut. Obviously
Speaker 3: we know from trom Novello. The actual story is a
Speaker 3: surrealist story. Kubrick says, iway shut is full of surrealism,
Speaker 3: and then Kurt Russell says, you hold the keys to
Speaker 3: this prison. That's another indicator that the movie is really
Speaker 3: that Tom has erected his own prison and he's got
Speaker 3: to just choose to see himself out of this through
Speaker 3: the Luciferian keys to the Kingdom. Then he sees the
Speaker 3: redheaded woman who is the you'll see her actually on
Speaker 3: posters in the movie. So there's multiple sequences where this
Speaker 3: is this redheaded woman on this poster, and the reason
Speaker 3: Tom has placed her in his experience is because she's
Speaker 3: the woman who works at the cryogenics lab. All the
Speaker 3: cryogenics people virtual world people in the real world are
Speaker 3: showing up in different places in his virtual world. You see,
Speaker 3: these are just clues. This is just like Inception. There's
Speaker 3: two different ones. Tilda Swinton is in it, but the
Speaker 3: receptionist girl who doesn't look like a crazy witch. It
Speaker 3: just looks like a normal girl.
Speaker 1: Uh.
Speaker 3: He keeps seeing her Hollywood mind control. I don't know
Speaker 3: what that means. He killed Sophia? Does he kill her?
Speaker 5: Yeah? Remember he strangled her and that's why he's in
Speaker 5: the prison with us because he killed her.
Speaker 3: Oh I thought he just beat her up, but he's
Speaker 3: he's in there from and remember the Cringe love making scene.
Speaker 3: How bad that was? Coomb Cruise down Control. It's crazy Tom.
Speaker 5: That's another thing about all these VR movies is like
Speaker 5: a bunch of Coomers. That's all they do is like.
Speaker 3: Get in the VR and well that's what everybody thinks
Speaker 3: of virtual reality. Oh what can I put my peep in?
Speaker 5: That's what's coming next.
Speaker 3: Gone Control to Major kom And the reason that this
Speaker 3: movie has the sixties soundtrack is because he works as
Speaker 3: the head of Rolling Stone or whatever it is supposed to.
Speaker 3: You didn't get that.
Speaker 5: Yeah, Cameron Crow always classics.
Speaker 2: In his.
Speaker 3: Uh. I had another joke something about Tom cringe and
Speaker 3: I forgot what it was. Oh. I can only do
Speaker 3: the Tom.
Speaker 4: That's all I can with Tom. That's the only time
Speaker 4: Cruise something.
Speaker 5: Crazy about his teeth, like they're not centered.
Speaker 3: He has rebel teeth.
Speaker 1: He had.
Speaker 5: His whole upper teeth are rebels, all of them.
Speaker 4: You've got a Luciferian.
Speaker 3: Rebellion going on amongst teeth, amongst his molars. Left hand
Speaker 3: path molars. Uh, where are we at? The subconscious is
Speaker 3: all powerful? Kurt Russell tells him that's changed that Kurt
Speaker 3: is his guardian angel character, his father archetype. Oh the
Speaker 3: the there's an interesting clue. One of the neat parts
Speaker 3: of the movie is all the clues. Right, So if
Speaker 3: you're paying attention to the clues, you you probably have
Speaker 3: to watch this movie extra couple of times through or
Speaker 3: you wouldn't notice this stuff. But there's a guy who's
Speaker 3: the guy who has the dog that went into the
Speaker 3: crowdgenis state on the TV and the guy's wearing a
Speaker 3: T shirt and it says something and then L I
Speaker 3: E stands out, So it's telling you that the it's
Speaker 3: a lie.
Speaker 4: The reality that he's in is a lot right.
Speaker 5: Oh is that the life?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 5: Yeah?
Speaker 3: And then the life extension but their acronym is l
Speaker 3: I E lie.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 3: And then there was something to do with seventy two
Speaker 3: and Kabala. What was that? I don't remember. There was
Speaker 3: something that seventy two comes up, but that's an important
Speaker 3: number and Kabbalism, there are seventy two names of God
Speaker 3: and Kabala, right, But seventy two was in the film
Speaker 3: for some reason. Prominently, there was something to do with
Speaker 3: DNA and life extension. I don't remember this, but they what.
Speaker 5: This is like that TV show that I watched without you.
Speaker 5: I don't know what that is, the one about upload
Speaker 5: yourself into the cloud, the cloud before you die.
Speaker 3: I haven't seen that. I don't know. He chooses this
Speaker 3: is the other reason we know this is a Luciferian
Speaker 3: themed movie is he chooses the Lucid Dream option package
Speaker 3: for when he goes to the cryogenic company and they're like, okay, well,
Speaker 3: when we freeze you, you can either just be there
Speaker 3: waiting until in the future we can save your life,
Speaker 3: or you can enter into the cryptotainment excuse me, cry
Speaker 3: attainment option, which is where you get to live in
Speaker 3: your own universe. You could you get to be Tom God.
Speaker 3: And then a song plays, I have a universe inside
Speaker 3: of me, and that's another key clue to what's going
Speaker 3: on here. So he chooses that option. He chose to
Speaker 3: have his memory wiped, which is option because in the
Speaker 3: MK Ultra programs they have discussed wiping people's minds. They
Speaker 3: discussed people with trauma. Soldiers with trauma have undergone testing
Speaker 3: to have their memories wiped. All this stuff is real,
Speaker 3: and eternal sunshine is spole is money. They do refer
Speaker 3: to resurrection, and but here resurrection means you stay in
Speaker 3: the cryotainment state until in the future we figure out
Speaker 3: how to prolonged life and give you transhumanist immortality. So
Speaker 3: that's why we find out. That's what's going on. And
Speaker 3: the final sequence is that, bro, this is a revolution,
Speaker 3: a revolution of the mind. It's the final frontier, which
Speaker 3: is there's a quote they say, everybody used to laugh
Speaker 3: at Jules Verne, but now we have a revolution of
Speaker 3: the mind. Right, So it ends with I'm taking up
Speaker 3: good vibrations. Right. So the Beach Boys, we all know,
Speaker 3: the Beach Boys is all directly tied into the MK
Speaker 3: culture of Manson mind controls, sixties counterculture, Crowley stuff.
Speaker 4: And guess who else is tied.
Speaker 3: Into the sixties counter culture Manson, Crowley stuff, l Ron Hubbard.
Speaker 3: Where does Tom go to church? Where does Tom go
Speaker 3: to church? Yes, so hence the counter culture. This will
Speaker 3: be relevant for tomorrow's show with Isaac. You guys will
Speaker 3: want to hear this where we cover Marjorie Cameron. What
Speaker 3: do they call it? The Oasis Project. Yeah, So basically,
Speaker 3: the life extension company has gone out of business because
Speaker 3: it's like five hundred years in the future, I don't know,
Speaker 3: something like that. But now it's some other company that
Speaker 3: owns it. And you are your own God. If you
Speaker 3: want to stay in this world, your mind is God,
Speaker 3: and everything in your world is your creation. You just
Speaker 3: live in your own memory dream state basically. And so
Speaker 3: we figure out that he is actually the architect of
Speaker 3: his own world. And this architect needed its Sophia principle
Speaker 3: in the alchemical stuff, right, that's always the case. But
Speaker 3: did he did? He say wanted to wake up? And
Speaker 3: at the point, like they said, he.
Speaker 5: Was like, that's why everything was going wrong because to
Speaker 5: wake up.
Speaker 3: Yeah, And but Tom had chosen the option that to
Speaker 3: wake up, he had to face his fear, which was
Speaker 3: to jump off the building. Yes, that was the key
Speaker 3: to time to wake up. So and he chooses to jump,
Speaker 3: does he wake up? Yeah, that's the last sequence of
Speaker 3: his eye opening. Yeah. Okay. Oh. What was interesting is
Speaker 3: that he had to rid himself of the father archetype.
Speaker 5: Oh, because his dad was the mogul or the Kurt
Speaker 5: Rustle you need. Oh yeah.
Speaker 3: So in other words, in order to become your own God.
Speaker 3: You're gonna have to rid yourself of thinking that you
Speaker 3: need the god, the father archetype you see you are.
Speaker 5: Because he's just a projection of your imagination exactly.
Speaker 3: And yeah, then Tom says, I want to live a
Speaker 3: real life.
Speaker 4: I don't want to be in the matrix.
Speaker 3: So he had previously been a Tom Sickle, he had
Speaker 3: been Coom Cruise, he had been Tom kOhm And now
Speaker 3: he's illuminate Cohon Fern and his eye opens up. And
Speaker 3: that's the last sequence. That is another guy, last one.
Speaker 4: Can we do it?
Speaker 3: By the way, we got a couple of super chats,
Speaker 3: we got some generous people. Finally throwing in that fat
Speaker 3: cash our buddy, Dick Rawl says, for three dollars, do
Speaker 3: you have a po so you can start playing that, Bro,
Speaker 3: I ain't gonna say that on its channel. Come on now,
Speaker 3: come on now, Dicky Rawl fawns for five dollars. Now, no, homie,
Speaker 3: they're not getting rid of me that easily. Don't worry, bro,
Speaker 3: don't worry, Bro. Janey Sophia interesting name, twenty five fat ones.
Speaker 3: I'm a longtime listener. Your lectures led me to orthodoxy. Well,
Speaker 3: God bless you. That's great. That's what we want to
Speaker 3: hear tonight. We're just clowning around though with our classic
Speaker 3: esoteric Hollywood style Tall City ten bucks. Thank you both,
Speaker 3: God bless. Do you have any thoughts on Michael Heiser
Speaker 3: or doing Unseen Realm. I've only read his Divine Council stuff,
Speaker 3: so I don't know about the actual book. I read
Speaker 3: the papers long ago before he had published the books,
Speaker 3: so I think his work's good. I have any problem
Speaker 3: with what I've read?
Speaker 4: Maybe down the road, Yeah, we can do that.
Speaker 3: Okay, two and eighty thirds still still here.
Speaker 4: Thank you for those super chats.
Speaker 3: Everybody. Everybody like my Tom kun jokes. Come on now,
Speaker 3: that was yeah, that's good. Oh you can't read this,
Speaker 3: so you won't read the ones that are These aren't
Speaker 3: that bad.
Speaker 5: I can't read.
Speaker 3: This is probably like down control to ma to koom.
Speaker 3: It's crazy, Tom crazy. That's that's funny, dude.
Speaker 5: I don't know what we're talking about.
Speaker 3: David Bowie, Tom Cruise. I'm happy because Tom Cruise goes
Speaker 3: crazy in this movie, acts like he doesn't reach he
Speaker 3: doesn't reach Nick Cage level.
Speaker 4: That's not the dirty of a joke. It's funny.
Speaker 3: To call him kun Cruise with Tom Kum the way
Speaker 3: he acts in that movie. All right, Video Drome. Uh,
Speaker 3: After Scanners and reviewing Video Drome, I am much more
Speaker 3: impressed with David Cronenberg. I'm a new David Cronenberg fan.
Speaker 3: I mean, I always liked kind of some of those movies,
Speaker 3: but uh, there's quite a bit of revelatory stuff in
Speaker 3: the Scanners, and I like existence the second time through.
Speaker 3: And this is about my fourth time seeing Video Drome,
Speaker 3: and every time I watch Video Drome, I noticed new things.
Speaker 3: And once I noticed the MK Ultra Assassin stuff in
Speaker 3: Video Drone, which I never noticed before. Now I really
Speaker 3: like David Croneberg.
Speaker 4: I think it's pretty badass.
Speaker 3: He's almost like a weirder gooier John Carpenter.
Speaker 5: Yeah. I like Peter Jackson his stuff have you seen not?
Speaker 5: But his other stuff is pretty weird andoy like that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, But there's just like a certain feel to the
Speaker 3: David Croneberg movies. They all have it. It's kind of
Speaker 3: like David unless shes got his own style. Yeah, you know,
Speaker 3: John Carpenter has his own style. Anyway. So we see
Speaker 3: at the beginning a sleek James Woods working at a
Speaker 3: sleazy TV channel called Civic TV. It's a small cable
Speaker 3: access type of channel, and they're trying to h it's
Speaker 3: the station that you take to bed with you. In
Speaker 3: other words, they play degenerate, right at the end edge
Speaker 3: of what the communications decency people allow.
Speaker 5: Remember usay up all Night, It's kind of like that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, James Woods is basically playing like the director of
Speaker 3: USA Up all Night or the station manager type of guy.
Speaker 3: So what we see him originally doing is trying to
Speaker 3: broker a deal with some weird Japanese guys who have
Speaker 3: created some softcore erotic type of movie that's he watches, says,
Speaker 3: this is too soft.
Speaker 4: It's no good. Nobody's gonna like this.
Speaker 3: So James Woods has it in his head that he
Speaker 3: wants to push the limits. He's like, we need to.
Speaker 3: We got to, you know, go all in here and
Speaker 3: really push the limits. And if we put out some
Speaker 3: really degenerate, gross, weird stuff, we'll really get new viewers. Right,
Speaker 3: That's what people are craving is something new and degenerating, weird.
Speaker 3: So as he's on this, he's talking to his satellite
Speaker 3: nerd guy up in the station thing with whatever, all
Speaker 3: the tech stuff. This tech dude. Nerd picks up this station,
Speaker 3: which appears to be a Malaysian s n uff thing.
Speaker 3: Doesn't really show this, so don't don't worry about it.
Speaker 3: I mean, it's it's probably a rated R movie, but
Speaker 3: that's what the movie is implying. It's something akin to
Speaker 3: eight millimeter type of a thing. Max is agame. Max
Speaker 3: Wren is the James Woods character, and so he's immediately entranced.
Speaker 3: He's like, Oh, there we go. That's what we want.
Speaker 3: We want something edgy like this Malaysian torture movie.
Speaker 2: Here.
Speaker 4: He says, let's put this on.
Speaker 3: It'll be violence galore, it'll be the next big thing.
Speaker 3: How is it connected to pressor Professor Oblivion? There's something
Speaker 3: to do with Professor Oblivion. I forget how that's the.
Speaker 5: Guy who's only on VHS's.
Speaker 3: I know that, but I know that, But how does
Speaker 3: he connect to the station? I can't remember.
Speaker 5: Isn't that where they're getting the the feed.
Speaker 3: I don't think the feed's coming from He says that
Speaker 3: maybe it is. Anyway, we'll set that aside for a minute,
Speaker 3: but we have an interesting phrase. The TV is the
Speaker 3: retina of the mind's eye. That's an interesting there's a.
Speaker 5: Lot of one liners in here that are kind of meaningful.
Speaker 3: So I think he does track down some association between
Speaker 3: this weird signal that's being sent out and this Professor Oblivion,
Speaker 3: like oh dash, like he's Iris or something, right, Uh.
Speaker 3: And then he goes to meet with Professor Oblivion and
Speaker 3: he lives atop a homeless shelter. He's got this weird
Speaker 3: palatial condo over this homeless shelter, and all the homeless
Speaker 3: people have TVs. There's cubicles with TVs, and we find
Speaker 3: out he's experimenting on all the homeless people.
Speaker 5: That's their therapy. He thinks they don't fit into society
Speaker 5: because they haven't had.
Speaker 3: So they have to be socialized through TV to heal them.
Speaker 3: So but Professor Oblivion supposedly says TV can save society,
Speaker 3: and so James Woods like, all right, well I got
Speaker 3: to meet this guy. This sounds crazy. So he goes
Speaker 3: and he can't meet with him because he's only on
Speaker 3: TV on TV, so he's meta TV. You remember that part, Oh.
Speaker 5: Yeah, because he goes on that talk show.
Speaker 3: But when he goes on the talk show, they'd have
Speaker 3: to wheel out a TV to be his character on
Speaker 3: the talk show.
Speaker 4: So there's meta level.
Speaker 3: Metaphysics questions that, as we saw in the Existence, David
Speaker 3: Cronenberg is asking this kind.
Speaker 5: Of question, right, all of these have a kind of
Speaker 5: inceptional Yes, exactly.
Speaker 3: He talks about the cathode ray tube, but we know
Speaker 3: that that has a golden dawn esoteric origin, right, the
Speaker 3: Crooks Tube. Max says, I want a movie that I
Speaker 3: want show or a streaming network that's no plot, just moaning,
Speaker 3: and by that he means torture and murder. So he
Speaker 3: meets up with a chick who becomes his new girlfriend,
Speaker 3: Debbie Harry Blondie. And by the way, if you didn't notice,
Speaker 3: Blondie was hanging out with I think Marina Abramovich, which
Speaker 3: is interesting. Well, it turns out Debbie Harry, who's the
Speaker 3: supposedly the moral psychiatric character, she's a psychologist or something
Speaker 3: like that. So she turns out to really enjoy the
Speaker 3: bead creepy bonded stuff, right, So she likes this kind
Speaker 3: of stuff. The more that James Woods is watching this
Speaker 3: kind of stuff to try to find these creepy TV shows,
Speaker 3: the more he's into it. Just like the Nick Cage
Speaker 3: character in eight millimenter, right. So it's almost like the
Speaker 3: Debbie Harry. She's leading him down into more and more
Speaker 3: of this degeneracy and she's like, ooh, let's make out
Speaker 3: and do this, this, this right. And then it's even
Speaker 3: to the point where they're like drinking blood right or
Speaker 3: tasting it. I should say this is the idea of
Speaker 3: the theater of brutality, that the toxic media would have
Speaker 3: the power and the ability to brutalize the public. The
Speaker 3: degradation of the flesh. That's the whole point of this movie.
Speaker 3: So there's a gnostic component, which is the hatred of
Speaker 3: the flesh which underlies this movie. Now what's interesting is
Speaker 3: that James Woods keeps insisting that the there's a race
Speaker 3: to the degeneracy and it calls to mind like the
Speaker 3: old Faces of Death Mondo video type stuff. Here, let's
Speaker 3: see I covered this part. Oh, when we're in so
Speaker 3: when he's by the way, when he's in Professor Oblivion's office,
Speaker 3: it's all religious iconography. There's icons. I think there's an
Speaker 3: icon there's a Shiva the Destroyer there. So he represents
Speaker 3: like the far off father figure. They call him the
Speaker 3: father God. He's Father Oblivion and he runs this weird
Speaker 3: mission right, which is this mind control place. He says,
Speaker 3: the difference between you and video Drome is that videodrome
Speaker 3: has a philosophy. This is what he tells Max Wren,
Speaker 3: the Oblivion character who we don't we never see Oblivion.
Speaker 4: And James Woods is he's obsessed with this by now.
Speaker 3: He says, look, I gotta get access to this signal,
Speaker 3: to the show, to the station.
Speaker 4: He says, I can't figure it out.
Speaker 3: What do you mean it has a philosophy, And he
Speaker 3: says that the philosophy of video Drome is that TV
Speaker 3: becomes reality. The more Max stays in video Drome, meaning
Speaker 3: his obsession with it, watching it, watching it over and
Speaker 3: over and over and getting access to these tapes, the
Speaker 3: more it starts to rewire his brain and he starts
Speaker 3: seeing things. It actually changes his perception of reality. So
Speaker 3: this is all an allegory for mass media, for TV.
Speaker 3: I mean, David Cronenberg is correct in this. He's telling
Speaker 3: us correctly. What's actually going on, and what starts to
Speaker 3: happen is that the VHS and the TV world starts
Speaker 3: to come alive. And there's even a statement made at
Speaker 3: one point that TV is there. I think it's the
Speaker 3: Deep Stay guys. You remember when the guys from the
Speaker 3: secret government show up and they're like, the battle for
Speaker 3: the mind of North America is being fought in the television,
Speaker 3: in the video drum. Yeah, so TV is intended to
Speaker 3: become reality in the simulacrum. Your reality is half simulation.
Speaker 3: And this is what Oblivion eventually tells Max Renn. He says,
Speaker 3: the vision that you're watching, the frequencies and the screens,
Speaker 3: he says, they're causing tumors in your head. Then he says,
Speaker 3: the tumor is alive. The tumor is video drum, and
Speaker 3: it's a virus in your mind.
Speaker 5: It's just like Joint and Monica that the technology is
Speaker 5: making them ill.
Speaker 4: And then this is when it gets really crazy.
Speaker 3: The Deep State men in black operator operas operators who
Speaker 3: come to Max wren They say, guess what, Max, your
Speaker 3: video drum's first victim. We chose you to be the
Speaker 3: scientific mind control experiment to see what we could do
Speaker 3: with programming you through the video drum. He says, all
Speaker 3: of it. Your tech nerd guy. He works for us, basically,
Speaker 3: the NSA, And he says, not only that, we're going
Speaker 3: to program you to see what we can and can't
Speaker 3: do with this, and surprise, shocker, they program him to
Speaker 3: be an MK ultra assassin, a killer. He says, I
Speaker 3: Max Wrenn, the James Wood character, says he finally realizes
Speaker 3: what's going on. He says, I was video drums first victim. No, no, no,
Speaker 3: I'm sorry, Professor Oblivion, I'm sorry who says I'm a
Speaker 3: video drones first victim? Because he ends up dead and
Speaker 3: you find out there is no Professor Oblivion. There's just
Speaker 3: tapes of this guy. The virtual world starts becoming real.
Speaker 3: It starts seeping into the mind of James Woods. The
Speaker 3: point of all this is that the mind itself, that
Speaker 3: the TV is a mind virus. It's all about signals, warfare,
Speaker 3: signals research, signals intelligence. The signals caused the brain tumor
Speaker 3: and the hallucinations. Doctor Oblivion is the first v logger,
Speaker 3: which is interesting. He is. We find out he's the
Speaker 3: co creator of video Drone. But the reason he's dead
Speaker 3: is because he thought that television could be a thing
Speaker 3: that could educate people. But the deep state, the military
Speaker 3: industrial complex, grabbed up all of the technology and weaponized
Speaker 3: it to create a tumor giving toxic system, and the
Speaker 3: tumor is a new organ that's developing. Remember the weird
Speaker 3: organs in existence, right, Cronenberg has a thing for organs.
Speaker 3: What does that say? Something doses of signal greater and
Speaker 3: greater doses of the signal will create the tumors in
Speaker 3: the mind of the public. And then through the signal
Speaker 3: that's sent out, I think they live. Remember the signal
Speaker 3: that's being sent out, they can alter everyone's perception. So
Speaker 3: the purpose of the gun and him putting the gun
Speaker 3: in his stomach and all this polling it out, this
Speaker 3: is because he's being programmed for a cathode ray mission, right,
Speaker 3: So that the cathode ray mission is where he goes
Speaker 3: to meet Professor Obliving where they're experimenting on the hoboes.
Speaker 3: But he's also being pro for a cathode a mission,
Speaker 3: meaning that yes, to go do a mass bang bang event.
Speaker 3: So that's the crazy part of this is that he
Speaker 3: is told that he has to by the deep state
Speaker 3: people through the signals, he has to go and shoot
Speaker 3: up do a bang bang at his TV station. And
Speaker 3: then crazy part we find out that the cover front
Speaker 3: company behind all this is called Spectacular Optical and they
Speaker 3: are a lens development company that also creates lenses for
Speaker 3: the Deep Stay and missile guidance services for NATO. So
Speaker 3: it's a defense contractor company that makes refracted lenses that's
Speaker 3: engaged in psychological warfare to test to see if TV
Speaker 3: screens and lenses can send a signal to program the public.
Speaker 3: And it just so happens that James Woods is the
Speaker 3: test subject for the assassination program, so he becomes a
Speaker 3: mind controlled assassin. It took me like four times to
Speaker 3: watching this movie to figure that out because it's a
Speaker 3: really weird surrealist movie. But once I like now, it's like, oh,
Speaker 3: that's totally what this mean. That's why they mentioned him
Speaker 3: working for the for the ferd Nado.
Speaker 5: Just like all the other ones in this batch is
Speaker 5: like confabulation of reality.
Speaker 3: And but they make it very clear that he is
Speaker 3: sent on a assassination program mission because eventually the girl
Speaker 3: says she she has the key key phrase. What does
Speaker 3: she say? She says, you are the weapon you've aceived
Speaker 3: received your killer programming m hm. And so he's just
Speaker 3: a patsy. He's just a patsy for this test. Anyway,
Speaker 3: let me I don't want to get ahead of myself
Speaker 3: because this is this is crazy. He dissociates. Uh, he
Speaker 3: kills an old woman I think at some point, but
Speaker 3: he's starting to not be able to realize what's real.
Speaker 3: He doesn't even know if he has a body, so
Speaker 3: he's he's got alters. He's dissociating.
Speaker 5: He becomes one with his weapon.
Speaker 3: Weapon, because he is a weapon. Now he's a weapon.
Speaker 3: The guy that he the nerd at his the nerdy
Speaker 3: tech guy, turns out to be an NSA deep state guy.
Speaker 3: He's a plant that was put there by the Milter
Speaker 3: Indotional Complex company, he says. He tells James Woods, he says,
Speaker 3: the whole point of this was to expose you to
Speaker 3: the signal to videodrome, to get you involved. And he's like,
Speaker 3: would you James Woods, so you've never seen it, He's like,
Speaker 3: why would I watch any of that stuff? He's like,
Speaker 3: it's degenerate, it just destroys you. So the deep state
Speaker 3: people don't watch it. Then they put a virtual reality
Speaker 3: apparatus on James Woods and he has to sit there
Speaker 3: and get programmed to another even greater level by this
Speaker 3: VR apparatus. And this is what programs him to go
Speaker 3: do the assassination.
Speaker 5: That was weird because after he put the apparatus on,
Speaker 5: they never showed him take it off, so anything after
Speaker 5: that could have been deeper into the.
Speaker 3: That's a good point, you know, anyway. But so he
Speaker 3: is the patsy though. I think we're supposed to think
Speaker 3: that he really is doing a killing though, because he
Speaker 3: becomes a killing machine. He goes and does his assassination thing.
Speaker 3: And she says, they can play you now the girl,
Speaker 3: that woman that he saw originally, Video Drum is death,
Speaker 3: and he says, you are death. You are the program,
Speaker 3: the program programming, TV programming, you are the program. The
Speaker 3: cassette is the program.
Speaker 5: You become one with a net in the other ones,
Speaker 5: you're one with the video drum.
Speaker 3: And then we have these weird phrases where he says,
Speaker 3: I am the video cassette made flesh. I am the
Speaker 3: video word made flesh. So it's like the new God basically.
Speaker 3: Then he decides that he's had enough of this stuff
Speaker 3: and Video Drome must be destroyed. He starts chanting death,
Speaker 3: the video Drome long lived the new Flesh. So he
Speaker 3: ends up killing his nerd handler and then he goes
Speaker 3: to the conference where there's the Deep State handler guy
Speaker 3: who works at Spectacular Optical is showing off the new
Speaker 3: line of lenses for glasses. There we see a lot
Speaker 3: of all seeing eye imagery that's there on purpose, and
Speaker 3: they call it the Medici line. That's interesting, Black nobility, right,
Speaker 3: this is the time period when optics was beginning to
Speaker 3: become a science.
Speaker 5: She masks too.
Speaker 4: Yeah, but there's not really any masks in this movie.
Speaker 5: Except that they were any other movies.
Speaker 3: There's a giant quote of Lorenzo de Medici, the love
Speaker 3: of the eye, the soul, et cetera. Something about the
Speaker 3: Sistine Chapel comes up. Renaissance optics science is what this
Speaker 3: is referring to. We must undergo a total transformation, kill
Speaker 3: the old flesh to become the new flesh. Don't be
Speaker 3: afraid to.
Speaker 4: Let the body die.
Speaker 3: And then we see James woulds apparently die. So I
Speaker 3: my reading of this is that it's like an MK
Speaker 3: delta assassination programming. He goes to kill himself after he's
Speaker 3: done his job of assassinating, so he assassinates to him
Speaker 3: he's supposed to assassinate, and then he goes and he
Speaker 3: he's run out of the city and he's living in
Speaker 3: this little shack and he sees a TV and the
Speaker 3: TV says, it's time for you to ascend to the
Speaker 3: next phase. Go ahead and get ready of your flesh.
Speaker 3: Is this just his suicide programming as an assassin? What
Speaker 3: do you think?
Speaker 5: Yeah? I think that was my second time watching it,
Speaker 5: and the first time I didn't know a whole lot
Speaker 5: about what we're talking about.
Speaker 3: So well, it was a fun, fun bunch of how
Speaker 3: many uh what's what was the goody's grossest thing in
Speaker 3: that movie.
Speaker 5: When he opens his belly.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's what everybody remembers. How many.
Speaker 5: Googun?
Speaker 3: How many hand goog guns? Do you give it?
Speaker 2: All right?
Speaker 3: All right, thank you guys, We're done. Paul City was
Speaker 3: the last one. Thank you guys for the super chats.
Speaker 3: This was a lot of fun virtual worlds. I don't
Speaker 3: think the optimism of the eighties and nineties about what
Speaker 3: the net and the virtual realm would be has actually
Speaker 3: come to play come into play. Rather, I think we're
Speaker 3: entering into the dystopia and not the the fun surfing
Speaker 3: the web phase of what everybody thought it would be.
Speaker 3: So I'm gonna say the best of these movies is
Speaker 3: probably Videodrome after that Vanilla Sky existence, and then the
Speaker 3: other ones are more comical. All right, God bless everybody,
Speaker 3: have a good night.
