Podcast appearances and mentions of tyler measom

Was I In A Cult? is not your typical cult podcast. Hosted by writer/comedian Liz Lacuzzi and documentary filmmaker Tyler Measom, the duo bring you first-hand stories from real cult survivors— each episode infuses humor, heart, and hope into tales that can otherwise be dark.  And the guests have not only survived, but transformed their darkest moments into stories of strength. As cult survivors themselves, Liz and Tyler aim to humanize the cult experience. Give it a listen… it may just leave you asking yourself “Wait… was I in a cult?!” -- Dr. Nadine Macaluso joins us today to discuss our first of its kind on this show… a cult of one. Who exactly was her cult leader? None other than “The Wolf of Wall Street,” her ex-husband, Jordan Belfort. In the movie adaptation of Jordan's book, “The Wolf of Wall Street,” Dr. Nadine was portrayed by Margot Robbie and had no say in how her life was portrayed. Well, today Dr. Nadine is here to share the truth behind her picture perfect life. On the outside she had beauty, wealth, the doting husband, and two wonderful kids. But today she shares the truth about what was going on behind closed doors: the isolation, the loss of self, the abuse, the control, the manipulation and the gaslighting that kept her in a haze of confusion and pain. But, like every guest on this show, she shares the moment she finally found the strength and courage to walk away for good.  Now a respected therapist, Dr. Nae emphasizes the importance of therapy in her healing process and destigmatizing the experiences of victims of cult leaders or pathological lovers. A Brooklyn gal at heart, Dr. Nae is as real as they get and was an absolute joy to have on the show.  *** Listen to Was I In A Cult?: https://www.wasiinacult.com/ Learn more about your ad choices.

My guest tonight, for a late night conversation, is award-winning producer and director, Tyler Measom. Tyler's latest documentary, "Murder Among The Mormons” took the country by storm earlier this year on Netflix.  I am very excited to have him on to talk about making that film and the true story of the Salt Lake City bombings of 1985. Together, we are going to look for the truth in a world filled with lies and deception…. Heavy stuff, with my guest, Tyler Measom, on this episode of The Necronomicast! Tyler Measom Online

I was thrilled to get Tyler Measom on the podcast. A fellow Utahn, Tyler  is behind some of best documentary work out there. An Honest Liar and  Sons of Perdition are two films of his that have stayed with me for  years. It was pleasure talking with him about his most recent release  Murder Among the Mormons. Check it out on Netflix if you haven't  already!  --- "High-stakes exploits turn deadly — and shake a global church to its  core — in this extraordinary true crime story." (Netflix)

As the dancers of Utah’s Ballet West prepared for their first public performance during the COVID-19 pandemic, directors Diana Whitten and Tyler Measom filmed the company to document how they dealt with the difficulties and uncertainty of creating art during unprecedented times.

Filmaker Tyler Meason joins John and Seamus to talk about his latest project "Murder Among The Mormons."

Tyler Measom is an ex-Mormon filmmaker of incredible documentaries like "An Honest Liar" and "I Want My MTV." He recently co-directed the Netflix miniseries "Murder Among the Mormons" and joined Jess for a bonus interview. We discussed how Mark Hoffman's actions affected the Mormon Church, what happens when experts are fooled, and what he learned from the people he's interviewed. We would recommend watching "Murder Among the Mormons" before listening to this episode since we discuss the conclusions at length and spoilers abound. (Also: It's really very good!)

Murder Among the Mormons (2021) is the new Netflix true-crime docuseries about Mark Hofmann, who is one of the most notable forgers in history. Hofmann created forgeries related to the Latter Day Saint movement, which led to fame and fortune. But the truth caught up with Hofmann one fateful day in 1985, as two innocent people lost their lives.  We are joined by award-winning co-director and producer of Murder Among the Mormons, Tyler Measom. His previous work includes Leaving the Cult: Sons of Perdition (2010), An Honest Liar (2014) and Biography: I Want My MTV (2019).  Tyler directed this docuseries with Jared Hess, who is best known for his films Napoleon Dynamite (2004), Nacho Libre (2006) and Gentlemen Broncos (2009). Tyler talks about how he and Jared came to turn this story into a docuseries, as well as what they discovered about Mark Hoffman and the nature of belief. In the process we also learn about getting a film idea to the big screen.  “The power he must have felt to create and change history, to alter what millions of people believe, and know and pray to every day – to have the power to change that in your basement is a remarkable feeling I suspect.” – Tyler Measom Time Stamps: 05:38 - What the series Murder Among the Mormons is about. 08:19 - Why the story wasn't heavily publicised at the time. 09:41 - How co-directors Tyler and Jared made the story so gripping. 11:20 - The boom period there was for collecting Mormon antiquities.  13:04 - How Mark Hofmann was such a successful forger.  16:02 - How Hofmann started his career in forging.  20:56 - Why he went into a life of deceit. 25:33 - Why Tyler and Jared decided to make a documentary about Hofmann.  30:42 - How a documentary goes from a brainstorming session to being on screen.  36:36 - The way a docuseries format gives the filmmakers more freedom.  37:49 - The willingness of people to be interviewed for the film.  41:45 - How they knew the film would be so successful.  45:59 - The reasons Mark conned Mormons.  49:01 - How Tyler kept his own beliefs regarding Mormonism separate from the film.  50:24 - What the film says about belief.  51:36 - The next projects Tyler is working on.   Resources: Murder Among the Mormons (2021) Leaving the Cult: Sons of Perdition, a book by Tyler Measom Billy Wilder's 10 Screenwriting Tips This is Distorted Alamo Pictures Connect with Tyler Measom: Website LinkedIn Instagram Facebook Connect with Factual America: Facebook Instagram Twitter   Connect with Matthew Sherwood: Facebook LinkedIn Twitter   More From Factual America: Connect with Factual America: Facebook Instagram Twitter   Connect with Matthew Sherwood: Facebook LinkedIn Twitter   More From Factual America: Moment of Truth: The Murder of Michael Jordan's Father McMillion$: McDonalds' Monopoly Fraud Revisited The Hart Family Tragedy

This week Mormonism and the world (basically) have been captivated by the new Netflix Documentary "Murder Among the Mormons" - which covers the Salt Lake City bombings of 1985, and is currently #2 in the USA on Netflix.  (SPOILER ALERT!!!!) While reactions to the documentary (produced & directed by friends Jared Hess and Tyler Measom) have been universally SUPER positive, many progressive and post-Mormons have expressed a wish that the documentary would have spent more time discussing the role of the Mormon church in: a) creating the environment that gave rise to the bombings, b) attempting to cover up/hide its problematic history, and c) obstruct or hinder the investigation of the bombings. I this epic, 2-part, 6 hour interview with Mormon/Ex-Mormon legend Sandra Tanner, we cover many of the questions/topics/issues that progressive and post-Mormons have been wanting to know about the Mormon church, Mark Hofmann, the bombings, and the investigations, such as: What do we know about Mark Hofmann's childhood and adolescent years? When and how did Mark Hofmann lose his Mormon faith? What are some of the direct and undeniable similarities between Joseph Smith and Mark Hofmann? What can we ascertain about Mark Hofmann's possible motives for forgery? What issues regarding Mormon Church truth claims were being discussed publicly during Mark Hofmann's childhood and adolescence years, and what written materials may have influenced him? What behavior on the part of the Mormon church in the 1960s and 1970s may have served as motivating factors for Hofmann?  Particularly, to what extent did the LDS Church participate in overt deception of its members that could have influenced him to turn on the church? What are Sandra's memories of Hofmann and his close associates like Shannon Flynn, Brent Metcalfe, Curt Bench, Lyn Jacobs, Brent Ashworth, etc.?  Were any of them suspected as accomplices? What do we know about the main Mormon-related Hofmann forgeries, and why were each relevant from a Mormon.history perspective?  How did Hofmann's forgeries intersect with and challenge Mormon church truth claims?  How did they stand to harm the church? What role did the Mormon church play in hiding and/or covering up Hofmann's forgeries? Perhaps most importantly, Sandra recounts the inspiring story of her husband, Jerald Tanner, discovering that Hofmann's Salamander Letter was a forgery a FULL YEAR before the bombings, how she and Jerald fought about his discovery, what Hofmann's reaction was to Jerald's discovery, and how it was received in the larger Mormon studies and news community (spoiler alert: it was largely ignored). Sandra also movingly discusses how she and Jerald were largely ignored and marginalized by the broader Mormon history community, including being denied a display table at Sunstone, and how many Mormon history scholars would take advantage of the Tanner's research without giving them any credit or citations.  She cites as the main reason of this mistreatment her and Jerald's willingness to question Joseph Smith's sincerity - which remains a taboo in the Mormon studies community to this day. Sandra recounts her memories of the bombings and of the investigations. Perhaps most importantly, what responsibility does the Mormon church play in contributing to the environment and led to the bombings? All this, and so much more.  This is a 6 hour interview. Part 1 (4 hours) talks mostly about Sandra's memories during and after the bombings. Part 2 (2 hours) focuses more on Sandra's direct reactions to the documentary Murder Among the Mormons. For your convenience we have created time codes that will let you know which parts of the videos you can jump to (if you want to jump around or refer certain parts to friends). We hope you enjoy!!!!!!!  And a HUGE thanks to Sandra (and Jerald) Tanner for sharing with us her/their historic insight.  For me, this was a true honor.  MORE TO COME!!!! - John Dehlin (March 10, 2021) P.S.  If you value Sandra and her contributions to Mormon history, please support Sandra Tanner and Utah Lighthouse Ministry with your donations!!! ==================== 00:01:32 - Sandra’s impressions of “Murder Among the Mormons” 00:14:39 - How the LDS church was portrayed in the documentary - positive vs. negative 00:21:06 - Could this documentary pose a challenge to some member’s faith? 00:23:16 - Truly’s role in the documentary & lawyers as church “historians” 00:30:20 - Was it smart for it not to be a “hit piece” in the LDS church? 00:42:11 - How the story is being revived 00:51:15 - Could Hofmann had any accomplices’? 00:54:44 - Heroes & villiain of the story 01:00:35 - Culpability of the LDS church & their obstructing of justice 01:04:13 - Sandra’s recommendations for books on this subject 01:10:47 - Legacy of the Hofmann scandal & its impact on Mormonism 01:22:56 - “Lying for the Lord” & how Joseph Smith set a president of dishonesty within the church 01:28:04 - Why people stay in the church after they have lost their faith 01:32:21 - Could there be another event like this that threatens the church? 01:34:35 - Sandra’s predictions for the future of Mormonism 01:39:48 - Upcoming biography on Jerald & Sandra Tanner 01:43:41 - Sandra’s experiences from Mormon Stories Podcast 01:50:07 - Reflections on Jerald Tanner 01:54:21 - Closing remarks

I this epic, 2-part, 6 hour interview with Mormon/Ex-Mormon legend Sandra Tanner, we cover many of the questions/topics/issues that progressive and post-Mormons have been wanting to know about the Mormon church, Mark Hofmann, the bombings, and the investigations, such as: What do we know about Mark Hofmann's childhood and adolescent years? When and how did Mark Hofmann lose his Mormon faith? What are some of the direct and undeniable similarities between Joseph Smith and Mark Hofmann? What can we ascertain about Mark Hofmann's possible motives for forgery? What issues regarding Mormon Church truth claims were being discussed publicly during Mark Hofmann's childhood and adolescence years, and what written materials may have influenced him? What behavior on the part of the Mormon church in the 1960s and 1970s may have served as motivating factors for Hofmann?  Particularly, to what extent did the LDS Church participate in overt deception of its members that could have influenced him to turn on the church? What are Sandra's memories of Hofmann and his close associates like Shannon Flynn, Brent Metcalfe, Curt Bench, Lyn Jacobs, Brent Ashworth, etc.?  Were any of them suspected as accomplices? What do we know about the main Mormon-related Hofmann forgeries, and why were each relevant from a Mormon.history perspective?  How did Hofmann's forgeries intersect with and challenge Mormon church truth claims?  How did they stand to harm the church? What role did the Mormon church play in hiding and/or covering up Hofmann's forgeries? Perhaps most importantly, Sandra recounts the inspiring story of her husband, Jerald Tanner, discovering that Hofmann's Salamander Letter was a forgery a FULL YEAR before the bombings, how she and Jerald fought about his discovery, what Hofmann's reaction was to Jerald's discovery, and how it was received in the larger Mormon studies and news community (spoiler alert: it was largely ignored). Sandra also movingly discusses how she and Jerald were largely ignored and marginalized by the broader Mormon history community, including being denied a display table at Sunstone, and how many Mormon history scholars would take advantage of the Tanner's research without giving them any credit or citations.  She cites as the main reason of this mistreatment her and Jerald's willingness to question Joseph Smith's sincerity - which remains a taboo in the Mormon studies community to this day. Sandra recounts her memories of the bombings and of the investigations. Perhaps most importantly, what responsibility does the Mormon church play in contributing to the environment and led to the bombings? All this, and so much more.  This is a 6 hour interview. Part 1 (4 hours) talks mostly about Sandra's memories during and after the bombings. Part 2 (2 hours) focuses more on Sandra's direct reactions to the documentary Murder Among the Mormons.

We hope you enjoy!!!!!!!  And a HUGE thanks to Sandra (and Jerald) Tanner for sharing with us her/their historic insight.  For me, this was a true honor.  MORE TO COME!!!! - John Dehlin (March 10, 2021) P.S.  If you value Sandra and her contributions to Mormon history, please support Sandra Tanner and Utah Lighthouse Ministry with your donations!!! ==================== Part 1 Timecodes: 00:07:13 - Summary of Sandra’s background 00:14:51 - Sandra’s understanding of Mark Hofmann’s early life & beliefs 00:19:39 - Hofmann’s exposure to treasure digging and LDS truth claims 00:32:02 - Parallels between Mark Hofmann and Joseph Smith 00:36:12 - Theories surrounding the Golden Plates & Book of Mormon 00:45:30 - Speculations on Mark Hofmann’s faith crisis 00:48:17 - Sandra discusses Shannon Flynn 00:55:53 - More on Hofmann’s mission, & his research into Mormon history 00:57:03 - Salamander Letter 00:58:50 – Sandra on intentional deception by LDS Church leaders 01:00:58 – Hofmann first comes to Utah Lighthouse Ministry in 1978 to share first known forgery – on the 2nd Anointing 01:06:19 – Mark’s handwriting – juvenile “chicken scratch” 01:07:10 – The beginning of a discussion of Mark Hofmann’s possible motives 01:09:07 – Mark Hofmann’s lack of empathy - callousness with the bombings. 01:12:44 – Mark Hofmann’s ego & his desire to pull off the “ultimate deception” 01:14:23 – Hofmann’s desire to embarrass the church & expose the faults their “power of discernment” 01:18:50 – More comparisons between Joseph Smith and Mark Hofmann – Around their “Ponzi schemes” unraveling into chaos and violence 01:20:56 – Discussion of Anthon transcript - Hofmann’s first major (known) Mormon forgery 01:28:34 – Jerald Tanner first uncovers forgery in 1960s – Oliver Cowdery pamphlet 01:31:21 – Jerald Tanner received pushback on forgery claims - Fawn Brodie and Juanita Brooks state they will continue to use the document 01:35:19 – Discussion of original Anthon transcript 01:39:08 – Hofmann’s Joseph Smith III Succession Forgery 01:45:58 - Hofmann trying to paint Brigham Young in a bad light. 01:52:11 – Brent Ashworth describing Hofmann “fishing” for documents that collectors might want 01:53:01 - Hofmann begins a bidding war over his Joseph Smith III Succession document 01:54:11 - LDS church “front buyers” 01:57:09 – Hofmann’s claim to have the McLellin collection 02:05:19 – Lyn Jacobs & Sandra’s thoughts on his omission from the “Murder Among the Mormons” documentary 02:08:18 – A discussion of frequent questions regarding Hofmann’s sexuality 02:14:09 - Hofmann’s 1825 Letter from Joseph Smith to Josiah Stowell 02:17:42 – What LDS Church leaders knew about Joseph Smith’s use of folk magic and treasure digging 02:21:15 – The Smith family merging of folk magic with Christianity - Hyrum Smith’s use of “magic documents” & Joseph Smith’s use of the “Jupiter Talisman” 02:28:52 – LDS General Authorities consciously sanitizing Mormon church history (Hinckley, Oaks, Turley) 02:31:40 – Church Patriarch Smith showing magical papers at LDS church firesides in the 20th century 02:32:50 – Wilford C.
