Go Broke Go Woke: An Odyssey into Esoteric Film & Christopher Nolan (September 18, 2026)
The Secret TeachingsShow Notes
Christopher Nolan is one of the few directors in the world of film using traditional techniques mixed with practical modern effects to make his movies. For years he was accused of whitewashing and downplaying women alongside of criticism for telling his stories in a non-linear fashion with variations in the audio. He is also criticized for relying on explanatory dialogue instead of an overload of stimulating images. Suddenly, however, his movie The Odyssey is being called "woke" for the casting of racially-different actors and for interpreting the original story in a modern way, even portraying Odysseus as weak because the movie relied on the psychology of trauma. Ironically, the so-called diverse cast saw very little air time, and some of them were not horrible performances. Portraying Odysseus as more human and interpreting his journey through a modern lens is not in any way new to a Nolan film. Most of his films rely heavily on psychology and somewhat unorthodox dialogue. Some castings don't work, but others do; like when he was criticized for casting Heath Ledger as the Joker, which turned out to be one of the single greatest performances in cinema history. When asked about the "woke" accusations, Nolan doubled down on his body of work and made no attempt to justify it based on politics, race, gender, etc. In other words, it appears that accusations of "woke" are based on nothing but broken, hollow arguments that are looking for conspiracies and something to be angry about. In this case, it is coming from the right rather than the left. Furthermore, Nolan uses practical effects to create plane crashes, atomic bombs, and even giant cyclopes, instead of relying on CGI, something that again, ironically, something the anti-woke people are usually complaining about in Hollywood needing to change.

Are data centers being built for Internet fun, are they a hoax, or are they being used to build a body and language system to process an alien intelligence? Chris Michaels and Ryan Gable sit down for a shared show to discuss this and much more, including how UFOs, vaccines, NASA photos, nuclear bomb videos, etc., are sketches, computer models, interpretations, and fake respectively.
Who is Andrew Gentile, aka, AJ Gentile? And who or what is his hecklefish? Interviews with Joe Rogan and Shawn Ryan have revealed both his entertainment background and his Jewish family history, despite his identity as a gentile in more than name. A recent lawsuit has portrayed him as a content creator, whose very first attempt at making a Youtube video for "The Why Files" garnered an impossible 4 million views even though he claimed nobody was watching. Another overnight sensation with a Hollywood and Jewish background, AJ Gentile and his fish repeat the same conspiracy mythology and sensationalist talking points, often followed by a rejection of the same, or a debunking; or rather, an undermining of the entire idea that there may be something beyond authority and mainstream narratives. He did so recently on Shawn Ryan by tying the banking industry and Rothschilds to lizard people and Jews to undermine the conversation. According to IMDB, he also "writes software for use in government agencies."
For years the public was both warned and assured that genetic engineering was either a major problem or our salvation. With some companies shutting down, amid widespread rejection of the technology, and the USDA saying cattle are not genetically modified, it appears GMO fish and beef -- in whatever capacity they failed -- have transitioned to 3D printing. One of the leaders in this industry is Steakholder Foods, an Israeli company that markets their products as "exceptional texture and genuine quality." The company recently launched their Perfecta (which suggests perfection) which includes products like 3D steak, chicken and salmon. Their website uses an asian woman as a front, while deeper scrolling reveals Benjamin Netanyahu overseeing the printing of synthetic foods. Yet another attempt to replace the organic world with a synthetic one, while also profiting and posturing as saviors. They can also print candy.
Ryan and @IanMalcolm84 team up on shared simulcast between "The Secret Teachings" and an X-space to hold a conversation on how across cultures and time, the same accusations and actions are made and taken against the same group of people with small hats. Despite all the censorship, threats, fines, jail time, war, etc., and no matter where or when, "antisemitism finds a way."
What is resting witch face? Is it the new bitch face and should it instead be called MAGA or Mar-a-Lago face, even though it crosses party lines? Are these witches actually aliens, or are they trolling the public? This may be the case, considering what appears to be attempts to make viral moments mirror AI generated images of aliens; what appears to be a shift in UFO disclosure to vague statements about non-human intelligences in Washington DC that look human but aren't. Plastic surgery does not universally produce such terrible work, implying that the mutilation of these faces, including people with direct access to the halls of power, are occuring for other reasons, perhaps sexual ones, or shame, blackmail, etc. Accompanying the faces are often bizarre behaviors, neurological disorders, and laughing episodes. Are they suffering from kuru? Are they cannibals?
