Description

Was Aleister Crowley the wickedest man who ever lived? (Spoiler: No. He was just a jerk.) Adam and John are confirmed cinephiles, so they can be forgiven for reading too much into the "magical" qualities of film. Turns out early cinema actually grew out of the magical tradition. We discuss the occult roots of the film industry. And, of course, we go off on a few tangents - including a discussion of acting as shamanistic pursuit, and why modern horror films suck.

"Inane ramblings from the fringe, half-baked politics from suspect sources, 'open-minded' nonsense about paranormal topics." John and Adam explore trending and historical fringe topics in a sometimes-frustrating, occasionally profound, always entertaining quest for truth.
