Noah Rymer joins us for a lively discussion of Catholic literature and morality, Flannery O'Connor fandom, and selecting the least-bad vices. We also get a sneak peak of denouement, now available from Anxiety Press. Noah Rymer is a poet, editor, and prose writer who runs the literary outhouse Pere Ube as editor-in-chief, and whose debut novella denouement was released in March 2025 from Anxiety Press. He usually writes within the suburban gothic, and these dreadful narratives can be found within most magazines of ill-repute, such as APOCALYPSE CONFIDENTIAL, BRUISER, DO NOT SUBMIT!, and other similarly sordid sleaze-rags. You can often find him spiraling slowly into madness or chasing the specters of early modernity out of his closet. Dark Waters vol. 1 & 2 are available to order!

[originally published on Patreon Apr 5, 2022; Ellroy Boys is now defunct but Apocalypse Confidential is thriving] Second entry into the Paranoiac Films series, and I'm joined by Blauer (@blauer_geist) of Ellroy Boys and Apocalypse Confidential to discuss the other JFK assassination film, Executive Action (1973). As always, we discuss some of the finer points of the film and weigh the pros and cons of the film on its own. Then we compare and contrast it to Oliver Stone's JFK.  We discuss the source material, the director, screenwriter, and actors involved, and then talk about Executive Actions, or whacks, as they're also known. Along the way we discuss how we both got into JFK conspiracy culture.

Submission guidelines can be found at http://www.TallTaleTV.com   ---- About Tall Tale TV ---- Hi there! My name is Chris Herron and I'm an audiobook narrator. In 2015, I suffered from poor Type 1 diabetes control which lead me to become legally blind for almost a year. The doctors didn't give me much hope, predicting an 80% chance that I would never see again. But I refused to give up and changed my lifestyle drastically. Through sheer willpower (and an amazing eye surgeon) I beat the odds and regained my vision. During that difficult time, I couldn't read or write, which was devastating as they had always been a source of comfort for me since childhood. However, my wife took me to the local library where she read out the titles of audiobooks to me. I selected some of my favorite books, such as the Disc World series, Name of the Wind, Harry Potter, and more, and the audiobooks brought these stories to life in a way I had never experienced before. They helped me through the darkest period of my life and I fell in love with audiobooks. Once I regained my vision, I decided to pursue a career as an audiobook narrator instead of a writer. That's why I created Tall Tale TV, to support aspiring authors in the writing communities that I had grown to love before my ordeal. My goal was to help them promote their work by providing a promotional audio short story that showcases their writing skills to readers. They say the strongest form of advertising is word of mouth, so I offer a platform for readers to share these videos and help spread the word about these talented writers. Please consider sharing these stories with your friends and family to support these amazing authors.

Subscribe to the PPM Patreon to access the Premium Feed: patreon.com/ParaPowerMapping Today we're joined on the show by the inimitable Jacob Everett, editor-in-chief of Apocalypse Confidential, for a wide-ranging & far-reaching conversation that serves as a preliminary materials for a deep dive into the New England opium smuggling outfits & the Sino-American trade in the 19th century. It's a highly enjoyable parapolitical jam sesh... W/ a particular focus on Jacob's family history, specifically his ancestor Ramsay Crooks, who was a Scottish-born fur trader who would ascend the ranks of the Pacific & American Fur Companies to the very zenith, becoming wealthiest man in America John Jacob Astor's most trusted lieutenant & eventually president of the American Fur Company himself once Astor left the game. We learn about Crooks' involvement in the overland, Lewis and Clark-esque expedition to establish the Astoria settlement, a grand "Chinese" dream of Astor's that is seriously reminiscent of previous fur trading & alchemical colonial plantation schemes that we've covered in previous MasSUSchusetts EPs. We establish how the PNW fur trade was viewed as an essential link in numerous triadic Sino-American trading get-rich-quick schemes, and how Astoria itself would eventually serve as a loading bay for furs to be added to Perkins & Co ships laden w/ contraband cargo (opium) that would then make their way to Canton. We also find time to discuss all manner of things, from Dick Cavett; to Astor enlisting the MasSUSchusetts author Washington Irving in a pseudo-mythologizing psyop project to glorify the short-lived Astoria settlement; to a quick rehash of the PTCave phenomena & recent mass shootings; to Astor's Freemasonry; to the Tonquin incident & the tragic deaths of 100s of indigenous warriors; to white boy familial guilt; to Milk Morgellons; to Ramsay Crooks' Civil War colonel son & "Indian agent"; all the way to Jacob's experiences editing a magazine of the Kali Yuga, and, most importantly, whether he believes humans are ontologically evil or not! Oh, and short fiction about rape-y dolphins, which kinda connects to the last one. Songs: | The Velvet Underground - "Venus in Furs" | | The Psychedelic Furs - "Here Come Cowboys" |

Adam speaks with American harsh noise master Worth, aka William Van Gorder, who has a new record on White Centipede Noise called Sacred Violence Noise. Will recorded the album while on residency in Thailand, and throughout the conversation relays the experiences he had there and in his Southeast Asia journey more broadly. What is it like to make noise for an audience that has no fucking clue what is happening? MAGIC! Duh. Talking about Thailand and Southeast Asia leads these two artists to discussion of another shared interest: writer New Juche. Juche is also an artist who finds transcendence in beauty in abjection and decay – the decay of the Southeast Asian landscape, and the abjection in his own perverse sexual habits.

Blauer Geist and Chi Chi look back towards their home state of OREGON to unearth the meaning of death, rot, overgrowth, edginess and the true glory of being alive through two novels by Blake Nelson (GIRL + USER) and two films by Gus Van Sant (PARANOID PARK + ELEPHANT). Pioneering, the limits of the American universe, mass violence, skateboarding, gentrification, “Put a Bird On It,” strippers, distance between irony and reality, dirtiness and pure beauty in the monotony and triteness of life.

On this episode, we invite EIC of Apocalypse Confidential, Blauergeist, on the show to talk about Takashi Miike's first theatrical release, Shinjuku Triad Society. Blauer knows his shit, as one of the mics on the great Ellroy Boys podcast, so I figured he'd be good to talk to. He'd never seen a Miike flick before! What a way to start...at the beginning. Severed heads, toilets with threatening auras, architecture, we talk about all kinds of good shit on this one.

In this super chill, super intimate, super funny episode I talk to one of my best friends on the planet: Blauergeist (@blauer_geist). BG is the founder and publisher of Apocalypse Confidential (apocalypse-confidential.com). We talk about that, we talk about serial killers, we talk about Seinfeld, we talk about love and dating - we cover everything on this episode. Thank you for listening!

System of Systems, at long last, is back. First things first, Ben AKA the Perpetual Self Optimizer is no longer the producer/co-host, and we want to thank him for all the great work done on this program.  Replacing him is none other than former guest Will Samson, who takes over production duties and second mic. Welcome him! In our first episode back, we have Ellroy Boys co-host and Apocalypse Confidential editor Blauergeist! specifically to take on the colossal disaster that is The Sopranos prequel film The Many Saints of Newark. Somehow, as bad as this film could be (cheesy as fuck casting, thin plot, aesthetically flat and gross) it's somehow so, so, so much worse. It's the kind of spinoff film that complicates the entire legacy of its source material. The great work of American pop art reduced to a shitty, faux edgy dirtbag leftist meme.
