As we continue Season 5, Mike speaks with Alex Gibney (Agents of Chaos, Going Clear: Scientology and the Prison of Belief, Taxi to the Dark Side)  about his documentary series for HBO Max, “Wise Guy: David Chase and the Sopranos”.   If you are familiar with Gibney's work, you will know that his documentaries often have a political topic or a political edge, so it won't surprise you that while he doesn't overly focus on it, he does explore the ways in which the legendary HBO series was a commentary on America. But the true pleasure of this documentary is to witness the incredibly deep ways that Chase's own life informed his work and–this may actually be connected–the ways that Chase used techniques that he learned from directors like Polanski, Lucci, and Kubrick to shape his own cinematic language.   Follow: @alexgibneyfilm on X @topdocspod on Instagram and X    The Presenting Sponsor of "Top Docs" is Netflix.

We're taking a closer look at a topic that we've touched on briefly before: Media covering the effects and inner workings of cults. The HBO documentary Going Clear is one of the most recognizable documentaries about the Church of Scientology. Celebrities like Tom Cruise have deep ties to this cult that was founded by prolific author L. Ron Hubbard.  Some interesting aspects of this belief system are the need to pay huge sums of money to advance to higher levels of the organization and the fact that many aspects are not even explained to members until they have reached specific levels.  For all its focus on mental health, are believers actually involved in activities that support good mental health?Join our Discord for free at goodcompanydiscord.com!Check out our gym (Third Street Barbell) at ThirdStreetBarbell.com https://www.thirdstreetbarbell.com/ and subscribe for updates about our apparel line at goodcompanyapparel.com https://3sb.co/!

Every other week this fall, we will be airing some of Alec's favorite episodes from our archives. This week features two incredible authors: chronicler of Hollywood legends, Sam Wasson, and the Pulitzer-Prize winning The New Yorker writer, Lawrence Wright. Sam Wasson tackles distinctive creators and seminal moments in Hollywood history, from Blake Edwards and Paul Mazursky, to Audrey Hepburn and the history of improv. Alec loved Sam Wasson's book, The Big Goodbye: Chinatown and the Last Years of Hollywood. In this fascinating conversation, Wasson tells the story of the four men behind the 1974 film: producer Robert Evans, screenwriter Robert Towne, director Roman Polanski, and star Jack Nicholson  - and how the film was a turning point in each of their lives. Lawrence Wright is an author, screenwriter, playwright, and staff writer for The New Yorker magazine. Filmmaker Alex Gibney directed an HBO documentary based on Wright's reporting in Going Clear: Scientology, Hollywood, and the Prison of Unbelief. In his in-depth and varied reporting, Wright has documented the Jonestown massacre, explored allegations of Satan worship, profiled brimstone-tinged gospel preachers, and tracked the histories of al-Qaeda and the Church of Scientology.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Strange Death of Flo Barnett, Mother-in-law to Scientology Leader David Miscavige. Original Article by Tony Ortega Flo Barnett is a name you won't hear listed when it comes to popularly known Scientologists. Flo Barnett was the mother to Shelly Miscavige, who was / is married to present day Scientology leader, David Miscavige.  Shelly Miscavige became a name of interest when actor Leah Remini blew the whistle on Scientology. Remini had been questioning the whereabouts of Shelly Miscavige.  Due to a prolongated absence of Miscavige,  from their usual events that she would typically attend. Shelly Miscavige hasn't been seen in public for over 15 years now. While it has been stated that Shelly Miscavige is known to be alive and well, other's seem to question this as fact..due to the secrecy surrounding anything Scientology related.  If you thought the story about Shelly Miscavige was unusual, wait till you hear about her mother.  Most people are familiar with the usual character's & stories associated with Scientology. From Tom Cruise, to John Travolta, Kirstie Alley, & Leah Remini.  From the A&E series " Leah Remini: Scientology and the Aftermath", to " Troublemaker: Surviving Hollywood and Scientology" By Leah Remini. There's even a documentary, " Going Clear: Scientology and the Prison of Belief" By Alex Gibney.  Scientology has been steeped in controversy since it's conception,  founded by L. Ron  Hubbard in the 1950's.  Hubbard initially developed a set of ideas that he called Dianetics, which he represented as a form of therapy. This he promoted through various publications, as well as through the Hubbard Dianetic Research Foundation that he established in 1950. The foundation went bankrupt, and Hubbard lost the rights to his book Dianetics in 1952. He then recharacterized the subject as a religion and renamed it Scientology, retaining the terminology, doctrines, and the practice of "auditing".[6][15][16] By 1954, he had regained the rights to Dianetics and retained both subjects under the umbrella of the Church of Scientology.[23] Follow Bizarre Buffet Online Support Bizarre Buffet On Patreon Follow Bizarre Buffet On Instagram Like Bizarre Buffet On Facebook Subscribe To Bizarre Buffet On YouTube Bizarre Buffet Online Follow The Host's Of Bizarre Buffet Follow Marc Bluestein On Instagram Follow Jen Wilson On Instagram Follow Mark Tauriello On Instagram   If you're enjoying the content brought to you here at Bizarre Buffet, please consider leaving a positive review of the show on Apple Podcast's / iTunes.

https://www.lawrencewright.com/ (Lawrence Wright) is the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of https://www.lawrencewright.com/books/the-looming-tower-al-qaeda-and-the-road-to-9-11 (The Looming Tower: Al-Qaeda and the Road to 9/11), which provides a sweeping narrative of events that lead up to the 9/11 terrorist attacks. He's an author, screenwriter, playwright, and staff writer for The New Yorker magazine.  Along with The Looming Tower, Wright has written 10 other nonfiction books including https://www.lawrencewright.com/books/going-clear-scientology-hollywood-the-prison-of-belief (Going Clear: Scientology, Hollywood,and the Prison of Belief) and several plays, many of which he has performed in. Lawrence is a member of the Council on Foreign Relations, the Society of American Historians, the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, and serves as the keyboard player for an Austin-based blues band. Lawrence joined Clint to share some selected wisdom on life in Texas, his writing process, and his journey to becoming an award-winning author.

Lawrence Wright, a Pulitzer-Prize winning author, wrote this book on Scientology. I give a brief overview of his book to show how this belief system shares many attributes of cults, why it has an appeal, and ways Christians can interact with someone who is involved with it.

Hosted By Hoyt Richards & Chele Roland We were thrilled to have the incredible Spanky Taylor and Tory Christman on to talk about their many decades in Scientology—Spanky was also a key figure in the successful whistleblowing documentary on HBO titled “Going Clear: Scientology and the Prison of Belief.” She was indoctrinated into the group around age 13, and Tory entered in her teens as well. It was hard listening to their stories, as Spanky shared about the group's version of prison camps, detention centers, and child labor camps, and countless other unbelievable human rights violations—Resulting in her having to kidnap her OWN baby to escape the cult! While Tory (who has a great YouTube channel: ToryMagoo44) shared about the physical trauma of being denied her epilepsy medicine, working 30 hour shifts for Scientology non-stop, and giving every last cent to this cult to “work her way up the bridge,” to ‘clear' her physical issues. Culminating in Tory being threatened and literally chased across the country as she attempted to escape! Again, this was a tough episode to hear, without feeling angry and frustrated that Scientology is still getting away with all this abuse! You will absolutely fall in love with Spanky & Tory, and our conversation with them definitely underscored the importance for all of us to speak out! Thank you Spanky & Tory for your unwavering bravery and for inspiring us with your strength and vulnerability! #IGotOut Visit our website at https://whatheflok.com Follow us on Social: Tik Tok - https://www.tiktok.com/@whatheflok Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/whatheflok Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/whatheflok Twitter - https://twitter.com/WhaTheFlok Youtube - http://hyperurl.co/a1615r Executive Producers: Chele Roland, Hoyt Richards and Katheryne KTEE Thomas Production Partners: In Ohm Entertainment and Floating Downstream Inc. http://inohment.com Filmed, Recorded and Mixed: Pink Clouds Studio Theme song: “Get Me Through the Night,” provided by JES and Intonenation Records http://OfficialJES.com and http://intonenationrecords.com Director & Editor: Katheryne KTEE Thomas Camera: Vishvak Prakkruth Production Assistant: Sarah Scheiman Sound Recording: Gerardo Serrano; Additional Sound Editing and Re-Recording Mixer: Tom Fritze Website and Graphics: Melissa McKeehan and Mike McKeehan Social Media Team: Melody Joy Conte, Krystal Nunez and Kira Sutherland *The opinions and observations expressed on any WhaTheFlok recordings, channels, social media platforms and website do not reflect any official position or viewpoint of the podcast.

Here is the new episode of The Unbalanced Note on the MULTI-MEDIA MEN podcast network, where the show is related to all things Movies, Music, and Entertainment! Here on this new episode, hosts  Bryan Kluger from Boomstick Comics, High Def Digest, and Screen Rant, along with good friend Marc Ciafardini from GoSeeTalk join in on the fun. Our Feature Presentation this episode is a wonderful talk with filmmaker MIKE CAHILL and musician/composer WILL BATES on their newest film BLISS! Writer/Director/Editor Mike Cahill's newest film is titled Bliss and stars Owen Wilson and Salma Hayek and is a mind-bending love story following Greg (Wilson) who, after recently being divorced and then fired, meets the mysterious Isabel (Hayek), a woman living on the streets and convinced that the polluted, broken world around them is nothing but a computer simulation. Doubtful at first, Greg eventually discovers there may be some truth to Isabel's wild conspiracy. Bliss is a masterwork of art, to say the least, and is highly recommended. Cahill also directed Another Earth and I, Origins. Musician/Composer Will Bates has collaborated with Cahill since Another Earth. Will is an award-winning composer, multi-instrumentalist, and founder of music production company Fall On Your Sword. He has composed original scores for a myriad of filmmakers including Alex Gibney (We Steal Secrets: The Story of Wikileaks, Steve Jobs: The Man in the Machine, Going Clear: Scientology and the Prison of Belief), and Matt Ross (28 Hotel Rooms). The four of us talk about origin stories, where it all started with music and film, how the two met in New York, staging and composing scenes in BLISS, inspirations, and much more. It was a delightful, fun, engaging, and candid talk for sure. Enjoy the show! WATCH BLISS HERE! And don't forget to visit iTunes , Stitcher , I Heart Radio, and Spotify to subscribe to our podcast.

Welcome to Total Movie Recall episode 002, where we'll discuss the film Predator (1987), directed by John McTiernan & starring Arnold Schwarzenegger, Carl Weathers, Bill Duke & Jesse Ventura. Schwarzenegger, Weathers, Ventura, a vagina-faced alien. We went to deep into the jungles of Val Verde in our mind as we revisit the stone-cold classic. A team of special force ops, led by a tough but fair soldier, Major "Dutch" Schaefer, are ordered in to assist CIA man, George Dillon, on a rescue mission for potential survivors of a Helicopter downed over remote South American jungle. Not long after they land, Dutch and his team discover that they have been sent in under false pretenses. This deception turns out to be the least of their worries though, when they find themselves being methodically hunted by something not of this world. - via IMDB Things discussed in the show: Going Clear: Scientology and the Prison of Belief The Maze Runner Bloodline Flicks 36 - Atlanta Correction Billy Bragg is a singer, Steve meant Joe Bob Briggs (sorry Joe Bob) Svengoolie (Rich Koz) Predator 2 Bill Paxton The Vagrant It's not okay to use the word"faggot," slack-jawed or otherwise - thanks '80s Hollywood The Rescue The Expendables Dark Horse Comics (Alien vs. Predator) Stan Winston vs. H.R.
