No ano de 1950, o escritor de ficção científica L. Ron Hubbard publicou um livro intitulado "Dianética: A Ciência Moderna da Saúde Mental". Imediato sucesso de público, apesar de rechaçado pela comunidade médica e científica, o livro prometia curar o corpo e a alma de seus pacientes a partir de práticas simples e revolucionárias. Não demorou muito para que o movimento criado por LRH se tornasse algo ainda maior. Nascia assim, em 1953, a Cientologia, religião que capturou a atenção da mídia ao longo das décadas seguintes por suas práticas duvidosas e sua extensa lista de adeptos entre as celebridades de Hollywood. Nos arriscando a tomar o famoso "processinho" em busca da verdade, o RdMCast de hoje expõe todos os podres da religião/culto/esquema de pirâmide mais famosa e sinistra de Hollywood.

Is Scientology the one true religion? Is Scientology a Faith, is it Fiction, or is it merely a Cult? Since its inception, Scientology has been steeped in mystery and controversy. So, we wanted to find out what all the weirdness is about. Our findings were quite alarming. Their methods of indoctrination, their protocols surrounding their collective behaviors, and their mafia-esque management structure; All implicate a sinister narrative contradictory to what they preach. Google: Shelly Miscavige, and follow the path to the truth behind this new-age religion. This week the boys take on Scientology in efforts to understand the belief system behind the mystery.

Hello angels. We're back and better than ever, discussing super-recent recommendations like Dawson's Creek, which Grace has finally started watching. Naturally, this is cause to revisit the Katie Holmes/Tom Cruise saga of '06, which remains the most chaotic whirlwind romance in Hollywood history. We're also talking about Meghan Markle's New York Times op-ed - aside from bringing to light more awareness about miscarriage, it's proof that Meg has an uncanny ability to intuit the moment culturally. So why are the royals wasting her? Then, Halima Aden - the first hijab-wearing supermodel - is quitting fashion, saying the industry caused her to compromise her beliefs, and we investigate the trap of being 'first'. Dakota Johnson and Cara Delevingne are both launching sex toy companies, but are suspiciously coy about using their own products. Then it's on to a column by Dolly Alderton arguing that women should focus on having 'character', rather than being beautiful.

He was privately educated at Westminster School and read History at Oxford, graduating with a first. He moved to the USA where he was introduced to the American documentary maker Michael Moore and started making segments on unusual subcultures for Moore’s show TV Nation.

Since then, he has made dozens of documentaries, many of them in the USA.

We were honoured to have Mike on at the start of the show for an exclusive interview where we talked not only about Scientology but also comedy and life in general and a few other surprises. It was an amazing interview and not to be missed and we were all very thankful to Mike for agreeing to join us after we actually prank called him by accident a couple of weeks ago! Such a good time was had. After the big interview we moved onto our silly attempts at comedy calling up a whole bunch of Twitter complainers, as always our favourite racist motel owner. We also called some U.K. w*nkers to remind them to put their clocks forward, which they didn't seem to appreciate. We then caused absolute mayhem at a hotel and ended things by calling the front desk to hear the aftermath. Overall another long an epic show which was lots of fun. As always stay tuned as we have much, much, more to come! Love you guys!

Louis Theroux is one of the most important figures on British TV. His BBC documentaries have won him two BAFTAs, an Emmy nomination and superstar status across the pond (and Down Under). Louis started out as a correspondent on Michael Moore’s NBC show "TV Nation" and then got his own show examining weird aspects of humankind. His latest foray is “My Scientology Movie”, a documentary feature film. Louis sat down with Josh to discuss religion, politics, creativity and what we mean when we say we “believe” something.

In Louis Theroux's new film, My Scientology Movie, the Church of Scientology doesn't give him access to the key leaders or buildings themselves... That sounds like quite the obstacle for a documentarian, so Theroux does the next best thing: He hires actors to recreate well-documented scenes in Scientology's history. All the while, the actual Church seems to be keeping tabs on him. Theroux has worked with Michael Moore, and his projects have often focused on interesting subcultures -- everything from the KKK to Westboro Baptist Church. I spoke with him about Scientology's version of "turn the other cheek," the harassment that one key defector of the Church still has to put up with, and what one thing could hurt the Church the most.

My Scientology Movie sees BBC presenter, Louis Theroux, attempt to infiltrate the Church of Scientology, an organisation infamous for being shrouded in secrecy. Curiosity about the mysterious inner workings of the church, along with reports of assault committed by leader, David Miscavige, motivate Theroux’s efforts to understand life inside the Church and why it is so confidential. Since first approaching the Church in 2002, Theroux’s pursuit to gain access to the Church and interview Miscavige had been denied. Classified under the spiritual state of Operating Thetan (OT) and one of the highest levels within the hierarchy, members of the “Sea Org” also declined to be involved. Without admittance to the Church or interviews with practising Scientologists, one would assume any plans for the documentary would be abandoned. Instead, Theroux sets out to re-enact incidences involving Miscavige, the Sea Org and high profile member, Tom Cruise by holding a casting call in Hollywood, where the Church’s Los Angeles headquarters resides. Theroux is aided by Mark “Marty” Rathbun, an ex-Scientologist who was previously Miscavige’s second-in-command. The casting call sparks bitter backlash from the Scientologist community, resulting in Theroux and his team being stalked and threatened throughout the film. Casting actors to re-create Marty’s recollections of being a Scientologist works well to gradually introduce the audience to Scientology and awaken Marty’s memories. Most importantly, this approach compels Scientologists to engage with the documentary. Theroux appeals to the quality all scientologists, whether practising or excommunicated, seem to share in the film; an overbearing sense of pride. This could be attributed to the “auditing sessions” all members must undergo, which involve practicing intimidation techniques and dominating your opponent’s mind. Marty helps Theroux conduct a mock auditing session with the cast members to help them understand the harsh treatment within the Church and what motivates their characters. These techniques aim to instil doubt and distrust in the follower, hardening their mind but also weakening their empathy. Marty, despite having left the Church seven years ago, displays a similar type of pride when speaking about his previous role within Scientology, boasting that the “Church was absolutely at [his] beck and call”. Marty is a conflicted character, both reminiscing about former glory and bitter towards his past aggressors. The main criticism against Theroux documentaries is the presenter tends to insert himself into the narrative, steering away from traditional methods of strict observation. Fans of Theroux will relish the moment he catches his interviewees off-guard with his quips and quirky interviewing style, a trademark of his documentaries. Those intrigued by both the subject and the way the presenter engages with the subject will find this film captivating. However, I can appreciate that those who prefer the traditional style would not welcome his techniques, which often blur the line between conventional documentary and reality tv. This is where the genius lies, though, for the cast of actors play two roles in this film; the fabricated re-enactment of Marty’s memories and their real experiences with Scientologists as they’re hounded during filming. The switches between official BBC camera footage and mobile recordings suggests the documentary is largely unfiltered, and reinforces the idea of the film’s authenticity. This balances the growing suspicion you may feel when listening to Marty’s stories, a position I found myself in especially when he omits piece of information or becomes agitated without warning. I would highly recommend going to see this film, whether you’re a Theroux fan or not. It sees the talents of director, John Dower, and producer, Simon Chinn, come together and make a thought-provoking and entertaining film.
