We discuss cancel culture, the masons, breakaway civilizations, secret moon colonies... and one fascinating, mythical "lost" film from the 80s that ties it all together!

Is an advanced race of tall, albino-like extraterrestrials from Arcturus living on the Nevada test range? Has our government struck a deal with the aliens to obtain advanced military technology? Take a deep dive with us as we chronicle this fascinating, seemingly implausible story from one man who claims it's all true!

We discuss several recent "documentaries" occupying the twilight zone between fantasy and reality. Are these films omens? Augurs of a dark future?

Are we moving into a new dark age of superstition? Is the consensus reality of post-enlightenment reason vanishing in a post-modern haze of news and subjective reality?

And why are the French f*cking with us?

Oh, and John gets a visit from an owl.

We return to our roots and do a feature-length takedown - er, review - of the new(ish) documentary BOB LAZAR: AREA 51 & FLYING SAUCERS.  Do we think there's life on other worlds? Almost definitely.

Intelligent? Probably.

That they've visited earth? Possibly.

The they've visited earth sometime in the last century? Unlikely, but who knows?

That Bob Lazar actually participated in a government effort to reverse engineer an alien spacecraft? 

Listen and find out!

We review the fascinating and disturbing documentary, HOLY HELL.

The film chronicles the 22-year journey of former members who were trapped in the bizarre Buddhafield cult.  

Through personal archive footage and interviews, the film chronicles the rise and fall, not only of the cult itself, but of its strangely charismatic leader, Michel Rostand (aka Andreas).

This is one of those "cautionary tales" of how cult leaders use time-tested techniques to manipulate and coerce vulnerable and impressionable minds to do their bidding.

Check it out.

In tonight's podcast, we discuss a fascinating documentary on Netflix called JIM & ANDY: The Great Beyond, which chronicles the behind-the-scene antics of Jim Carrey playing Andy Kaufman - and his alter-ego Tony Clifton - on the set of Man on the Moon.

At first glance this might not seem very paranormal, but the questions this documentary raises about the notion of the self, the other, etc., are nothing short of profound.

JIM & ANDY is the extraordinary story of the meeting of the minds, both literally and figuratively, of two comedic geniuses who have pushed the boundaries of their art. And in what can only be described as "the method gone metaphysical", Jim not only portrays Andy, but may in fact have become him (at least in his own mind) during the making of the film.

And really, is there any difference?

What's real? What's not? What is truth? What is fantasy? Who are we? All of these questions, and many more, are raised for you to ponder, but without any easy answers.

We also talk about some current events, the hypernormalisation of our time, and how we might be actually living in the era Andy Kaufman's work foreshadowed.

Plus, another What's the Word on the Street, Johnny? At least we think so. Maybe. ;-)

We discuss DISCOVERING BIGFOOT, the new documentary by Todd Standing, a controversial figure in cryptid circles. Is Standing nuts? Is he sincere? Is he lying? Is he the target of an incredibly long and unlikely con?

The movie is available on NETFLIX. Give it a watch. Let us know what you think.

"The mainstream media's agenda is clear. They want you to believe that conspiracies don't exist, the world is exactly like they say it is, and anyone who disagrees is to be marginalized, mocked and shamed."

Filmmaker Adam Green compiles an effective archive of cases proving an orchestrated effort to weaponize the term "conspiracy theory." From JFK to Iraq to 9/11... to Iraq... somewhere along the line it became wrong or dangerous or unpatriotic to ask questions. 

There are no wrong questions. Only wrong answers.

We interview writer and historian Francis Richard Conolly, the filmmaker behind the explosive documentary and viral sensation, JFK to 9/11: Everything Is a Rich Man's Trick. Released in 2014, it has garnered rave reviews since its release and, probably more than a little consternation from the, "powers that be", as it explains and synthesizes a tremendous amount of information that the elite don't want you to be aware of, let alone understand. Clocking in at 3 1/2 hours, Everything Is a Rich Man's Trick, takes you on a journey from WWI up the present day, explaining the, "who, how & why of the JFK assassination", and the likelihood that many of the same players (or at least the same playbook) were behind 9/11.  It's not only deeply informative, but riveting as well, and we couldn't recommend it any higher for those interested in how the "real world" works.

In fact, in one of our first podcasts, we reviewed the film, which you can listen to here.

The assassination of President John F. Kennedy lingers as one of the most traumatic events of the twentieth century. The open and shut nature of the investigation which ensued left many global citizens unsettled and dissatisfied, and nagging questions concerning the truth behind the events of that fateful day remain to this day. Evidence of this can be found in the endless volumes of conspiracy-based materials which have attempted to unravel and capitalize on the greatest murder mystery in American history.

Now, a hugely ambitious documentary titled Everything is a Rich Man's Trick adds fuel to those embers of uncertainty, and points to many potential culprits whose possible involvement in the assassination has long been obscured by official historical record.

In this, our first exclusive interview for Magical Mystery Radio, we talk to Mr. Conolly about his plans for a Part 2, and the difficulty he's having is raising funds for the film. Are the intelligence agencies colluding with tech companies to hamper his fundraising efforts? What is it that they don't want you to know?

As Conolly stated in a recent Reddit AMA, "The Oligarchs believe that the public, when push comes to shove, are a contemptuous rabble who are only interested in easy pleasures like drinking and gambling and fornicating and are, in the final analysis, every bit as selfish as the Psychopaths who rule over them. As I write this they will be laughing inside their Stately homes and private island retreats, quietly confident that the public will not help Francis Richard Conolly make another Film because they are not creatures of principal. This is what the rich will be thinking right at this moment. Are they right? All adults know that a price has to be paid for everything. Is your freedom, and your children's future, worth the price of a good Hamburger?" F.R.C. May 2017

So, what will it be? A future where true freedom reigns with an informed and active citizenry or, as George Orwell put it, "... imagine a boot stamping on a human face - forever."

You decide.

Do vaccines cause autism? Is there a massive coverup by the pharmaceutical companies? Adam and John dive headlong into a controversy for which they are wildly unqualified.  

CURSE OF THE MAN WHO SEES UFOS (2016) is the profile of a man who, well, sees UFOs. More than that, it's a human story about the things we cling to to give our lives meaning. Are the aerial lights Christo has followed since he was a child actually trying to communicate with him? Is he a tragic dreamer with a desperate need to seek reason in a seemingly random universe? Is he simply a man with eyes wide open?

Who are we to say?
