... Quick question: why does every pop star suddenly cover one eye? Why do kids' movies have more occult symbolism than a 19th century spell book? And why does everyone say, "Oh, it's just a coincidence," right before they change the subject? Welcome to Occult Symbolism in Pop Culture, the podcast where we ruin movies, music, and your sense of reality in a fun way. My name is Isaac Weishaupt. In each episode, we decode the hidden language of Hollywood, conspiracy theories, secret societies, MKUltra mind control, Satanian death cults, and much more, through familiar pop culture. From deep dives of The Shining, to 1984 book clubs, to alien disclosure updates, to dark enlightenment conspiracies of Peter Thiel's Antichrist, to interviews with guests like Dr. Jacques Vallée, it's your new home for truly independent research into the occult. Is it all intentional? Is it psychological? Is it spiritual warfare, or am I just being paranoid? I don't tell you what to think, I just hand you the red string and let you connect the dots. Subscribe to Occult Symbolism in Pop Culture on all podcast platforms and my new YouTube channel at Occult Symbolism, because once you see it, you can't unsee it.
