Check out Lorerunner (and his Stream channel). He does ruminations on Star Wars/Trek (books, games, series, movies), movies, games, series, and general discussion. Also has his own setting (The Imperium) that he reads and talks about. It's barely advertised, but he's got a podcastgen page for MP3's of everything[?] but his streaming channel's content. Very helpful during the workweek since the way he talks doesn't distract much. Seriously, search for your favorite game/movie and add "lorerunner" after. See if you learn something new about it, especially if he did a Lorerun or Classic Run. Also, Joseph Anderson. Bruh. Straight forward, long, and without the childishness of others.

a very eye opening analysis. like all of the videos in high quality. always great to watch your content!

This channel is pure quality so long I've been waiting for a new upload. Thats why I kept rewatching the earlier ones over and over because your content is unique!! Thank you so much, it's needed now more than ever!!

Great timing for Quarantines my man

Truly ecstatic that you posted this. Keep making great content. I've loved everything you've put out so far.

Finally! A new video of yours that I’ll watch dozens of times and put on to sleep to every work night.

Yes! I was thinking out loud some weeks ago while rewatching this film, hoping this channel would do an indepth analysis of it. So, either this is a strange coincidence, or you are monitoring my den from the webcam and messing with my head. PKD's paranoia does not seem so outlandish now....ahahaha. Excellent, brilliant content here, many thanks for your hard work and unique insight.

I just wanted to highlight your phenomenal channel. The content has no superlatives to describe it. Thank you and I eagerly await your next essay.

incredible! i remember now that the video about Jacob's Ladder was removed. it was such an incredible video! i hope that you guys can upload that again

So happy to see another video essay from you. Love these!

My friend. Your work is very appreciated. This is the future, your methods of entertainment are so thought provoking and informative at the same time. I hope you get yours. You are the best at what you do

Watching your videos transcends me from reality

A channel with the least amount of videos I am subscribed to, yet is my favorite!

I always look forward to your videos, all of them are very high quality. Keep up the good work!

Still impressed by your analysis and your ability to craft compelling, thought- provoking content, all these years later. I’ll keep coming back as long as this channel exists. Thank you.

Your work is just incredible! I love hearing your thoughts and ideas for movies. This is one of the best but I enjoyed all the other ones as well.

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 and this is before watching the video! (... your previous work has already established your unmatched ability to extract and express philosophical ideas from modern cinema and classic literature). Thank you!! I will, as always, watch at least 2x.

this mans voice should be a universal documentary voice.so satisfying to listen to 👌🏼

Another great analysis , thank you for all the work you out into making these. 🙂👌

Dude, that was DEEP. I need to watch it again and take some notes!

I don’t know you but man I’ve fallen in love with your mind. Please keep going with your incredible work, your insights and applied research are inspired.

I just stumbled upon your channel and I have to say, I've been down your rabbit hole for a good four hours. Lol! Seriously, you've reawaked my fascination with Existentialism, Camus, Jung, Bernays, and just getting together with friends and deconstructing a movie (intelligently mind you) and saying "Wow, that dude is f-ed up!" Love your work! Keep them coming!

Ok its official, this is my favorite channel on KZread.

This is it, I am becoming a patron. Keep em comin´, guys! It sucks that the viewers of the "viral" uploads don´t stay loyal, I keep the channel on the back of my head and check it out every now and then. I am pretty sure there is something to Dick´s, gnostic or otherwise paranoid/simulation tinted perspectives of our reality, in part because I feel it, and in part because I have witnessed bizarre, paranormal phenomena myself, like things of the past changing, what is known as the Mandela Effect.

I enjoy your analysis. Hope to see more from your channel!

Can't stop watching your videos. So awesome. Keep them comming

It was not a good idea watching this STONED AF HOLY SHIT DUDE I FEEL LIKE IM IN THE DR.STRANGE TRIP!!!! THIS IS AN AMAZING VIDEO YOU ARE AN AMAZING COMMENTATOR!!! THANK YOU FOR THIS VIDEO!!! KEEP IT UP!!

Just love your content. Thank you! And your voice is like a warm cup of cocoa on a cold night.

welcome back dude

Really liked the Jacob's Ladder video also. Thank you for your efforts :)

Not sure how you dont have a million subs already. You make great work m8

Looking forward to this. i own a precog ball from the film!

Not to undercut the actual content, but I appreciate the additional step of the color correction of the film.

Sad to see the Jacobs Ladder vid was taken down but this is good

Amazing work my boi, keep it up.

BRAVO! Truly great analyses!

it is like the end of BTTF3 which Doc said that the future hasn't been written yet. and that the future is what ever you wish to do.

Wow that was really good.... Marci

You really need to do one of these on the the Netflix show Dark. If you haven't seen it you will be blown away by all the themes put in 3 seasons. I could break it down but I don't want to spoil it incase you haven't seen it yet.

That being said, the argument that without a god anything is permissible is just plain wrong. Even without god you can empathize with the suffering of another by close consideration of what causes you suffering. In my view, suffering is the primary concern and intent is the only metric by which to measure the morality of any action. Furthermore I would argue that a belief in god is not only unnecessary for moral action and compassion, but many times detrimental to moral inclinations. In the presence of a god who is all powerful and who's word is final, any action is permissible, even the most heinous crimes against humanity, if it is in pursuit of that god's word. And to be held in check by a fear of hell does not give you the true moral measure of a man. It is in the absence of the threat of eternal damnation that moral action has any value - when you are not held at the proverbial gun point. People who argue that in the absence of god all things are permissible, conveniently forget about all of the bombings, rapes, murders, torture, burnings, and all other types of human suffering which are the direct cause of the presence of god - centuries of these actions justified by this belief. We don't need a god. We need common sense, compassion, self-awareness, and cognitive empathy. We need to understand that conscious suffering is the metric to target in our efforts to be more moral animals.

I just found this channel... Ark of The Covenant, The Blackbear's treasure, Nazi Gold in Austria’s Lake Toplitz! Subscribed !

but what is a good life? what is considered advantageous? that implies purpose. then the question becomes: towards what purpose? do we choose it for ourselves or is it chosen for us? and if so, by whom?

Lady here - Its on Patreon. I became a 5$ a month member to support the channel, and you can watch it by doing so. Happy I did!

I have to ask: is there a reason films and literature revolving around technology that predicts the future always ends up predicting their own destruction? I have noticed this *trope of precognition being ultimately self destructive.* The precog’s prophecies leads to the shutting down of the system, the machine in PKD’s Paycheck also predicts its own destruction. The AI in the Hulu plus show Devs also ultimately predicts a series of events leading to its own destruction. Is this a commentary on the self defeating nature of existentialism and post modernism in favour of something more hopeful?

Does anyone know what the book is called that he said was 8000 pages?

Very well done display of complex and difficult philosiphies. The "pandemic" we are currently dealing with is the product of existentalist crisis and the endless thirst for power by the few. The big brother Tech that "sees through walls" in the future no doubt upon us in many forms, from "smart cities" "smart grids" and "smart dust", "0 carbon"everything, autonomous traceable cars, boarder walls, "vax passports", along with pandemic forced data grabs of all manor, and perhaps most disturbing of all, a liquid concoction that they so desperately want to inject into each of our bodies. Its not a stretch to assume this "mrna" dose is trackable/traceable and likely worse. It is plain to see the master plan unfolding before us, and many simply walking obliviously into this coming downfall of humanity even chipping in and snitching on friends and neighbors as was the case in Stasi occupied East Germany during the cold war. Let's CHOOSE to say NO to this future, stand our ground, and not submit to the whims of global rulers. If you doubt any of this is upon us and they are just doing all this for "your safety", your own indoctrination is to blame.

@aprilmintacpineda2713

@@broderickbunnell2115 your so called "shadow" is very narrowly defined, what about the other things you didn't consider? Lust? Desire to take revenge? Wrath? Desire to get rich? Etc, given that "the shadow is the repressed part of our being", aren't those things part of the shadow? and if so, then does embracing the shadow mean accepting that you have those things? I think the idea of "embracing" the shadow is trivial as long as "embracing" it and "acting on it" are two separate things. Because if we all embrace and act on our "shadows" then, behold, the purge.

Did you put a strobe effect on this. Or am I having a flashback?

YT often shadow-bans, deletes & hides (unless I hit the "sort by" tab) most of my comments, whether short or long, on Liberal or Conservative videos, if I'm one of the first or last ppl to comment, and whether or not there are 20 comments, or over 2k. So, I write for myself. I've grown & can see how I've improved as a person. The mere fact that I'm not influenced by "likes" or replies, lets me know I'm on the right track to self-reflection, and not absorbed in the Social Media world of what others think of me. I WOULD like feedback, though. Free exchange of ideas is essential to humanity, and the censorship that the tech oligarchs impose on us is killing that & along with it a chunk of our vital sense of "self". *I have been DISAPPEARED.* My Tweets are NOT visible (and I do NOT mean they're hidden behind a "Sensitive Warning" screen~ They are just GONE). I haven't been on FB in ages, ever since they started shutting down Private Groups for things that Mark Zuckerberg simply didn't agree with (school-of-choice, Harvard denying admission to Asians, etc.), and I began an Instagram acct. but I'm just not dedicated to Social Media. My 2¢ is that Hollywood is backed by politicians whose sole purpose is power & control. Money is tool for that, so it's used often as a means to that end~ Producers & directors will take quality literature and turn it into slop that appeals to the masses by hiring mega-stars & paying them multi-million dollars for one movie, add some CGI effects, and maybe do some shots on exotic locations that cost a fortune just to hype the film even more. It's ALL a distraction~ Because heaven forbid we recall that time when we were young & faced with a simple choice of "good" OR "bad". Telling a lie, or telling the truth, even when telling the truth was going to get us into trouble... but we did it anyway, because we're basically good ppl. And that time the store clerk wasn't looking & our friend wanted us to steal that candy bar. We didn't. Because we're GOOD. We've done BAD things, too, but they want us thinking of ONLY the BAD things we've done, NEVER the GOOD. *We are ALL GOOD PEOPLE WHO DO BAD THINGS ONCE IN A WHILE, NOT bad people who do good things once in a while.* If you go looking for bad things, you will find nothing but bad things. (RDP: I just found your channel bc YT put it into my recommendations [lol... they got something right!]- THANK~YOU for a GREAT VIDEO! I can't wait to watch ALL OF THEM!)

Can you please do an analysis of The Dark Tower Thank you

I would love your take on the movie Enter The Void.

Top five favorite movie of all time maybe I'm a big fan of utilizing the precogs and the future technology gives me this nostalgia. How life was so smooth selling for cruise but then he had to work his ass off just to prove his innocence. And then we don't know if his wife really broke him out of dream state or was that a part of his dreaming

A fascinating essay that once again impresses me with a different but compelling reminder of how film can communicate meaning that is as useful to the individual as it is to the culture that produced it. I ended up watching it and discovered it's a very different film then how it was perceived at the time in opposition to another film like Blade Runner. Your discussion of the postmodern mood and alienation seems to hinge an a different interpretation then I've seen discussed in critical theory, mostly in how they theorize it as being more than just a loss of faith in long narratives, but in the way instrumental reason leads to a totalitarianism that starts to hinder humanity. Overall I'm most interested in how your use of Jungian shadows and myths to explain the way humans need to confront their darkness in order to become whole is very different from the current trend that see's the history as having created the world that imposes injustice and needs to be confronted as a collective. I would be very interested to hear your response to a historian's explanation of Sarte and the inner struggle to be free that becomes rooted not in finding grace, but being a revolutionary. kzread.info/dash/bejne/qW2Vx82tlLisaMo.html I look forward to your thoughts.

Shit. This was so good.

One thing, the constant *drugged ghost effect* editing with a soulless narration is a headache-inducing nightmare to sit through X_X Besides that, I truly appreciate the extensive research on the film, is one of my favorites! One of the best in Tom Cruise's career in my opinion.

I blame that one English teacher I had for making me hyperaware of mispronunciation. "Raskonilkov" should definitely not have bothered me as much as it did lol. "Kiroskiro" was only once, but the name.. I wish I didn't notice shit like that. On an unrelated note, science has shown that the makeup of Insane Clown Posse is the most effective at preventing face scanning technology from identifying you. So if you're ever really trying to prevent identification, becoming a Juggalo with sclera contacts for a day might cover your tracks.
