OCCULTURE 141: Phil Hall // Bigfoot, Patterson, Gimlin & The Weirdest Movie Ever Made
Oct 17, 201901:06:31Tap to summarizePhil Hall is the author of, among other titles, a book called The Weirdest Movie Ever Made: The Patterson-Gimlin Bigfoot Film. Phil is a film writer whose work has appeared in The New York Times, New York Daily News and Wired, and he is the host of the podcast “The Online Movie Show with Phil Hall”, which is available on SoundCloud. What Phil has done in this book is look at the Patterson-Gimlin Bigfoot film from a technical filmmaking standpoint and as a cinematic and cultural artifact. He also looks at the men who made the film and the details of their story before, during and after their infamous Bigfoot footage became a meme. We’re not too interested, for the purpose of this discussion, in the “authenticity” of the film. Whether the footage is real or a hoax doesn’t matter. Because this is a piece of art whose impact can be felt beyond belief systems. At the end of the day this is just a film, a movie. And as Phil says, it’s perhaps the weirdest movie ever made.

OCCULTURE 139: Alan Abbadessa // The 9/11 Spider-Verse, The Loose Change Legacy & The Post-Postmodern Conspiritainment Zeitgeist
Sep 11, 201901:18:56Tap to summarizeAlan Abbadessa is one of the minds behind TheSyncBook.com, a multimedia web platform dedicated to nurturing and exploring the art of synchronicity. If you’ve ran in these circles online long enough you’ve surely come across their books or videos or podcasts. Alan is here to talk about one of The Sync Book’s latest projects, a docu-series he’s producing called Hindsight 20/20, the first episode of which is online now. It’s called 9/11 Spider-verse, and it explores a cinematic world where 9/11 conspiracy theories are just the tip of the iceberg. This episode is going to spider out and spiral out from 9/11 and explore the legacies of the Loose Change and Zeitgeist films as well as the synchromystic subculture and post-postmodern artistic movement these films may have spawned. One note on the chat from a sound quality perspective. Alan’s computer was out of commission, so we had to record via phone, plus we just recorded this on Monday, September 9, and I wanted to turn this around quickly because of the subject matter, so I did not edit nearly as much in post-production as I normally do. This one sounds more like a RAW episode, so please excuse any umms, uhhs, longer-than-usual pauses or any annoying mouth or breath noises. If you can get past those things, this is one conspiritaining chat.

OCCULTURE 136: Bob Frissell // Redefining Humanity, Breath Alchemy & Our Physical Geometry
Aug 12, 201901:00:37Tap to summarizeBob Frissell is the author of, among other things, “Nothing in This Book Is True, But It’s Exactly How Things Are”, which was just re-released with a 25th anniversary edition. Bob’s work is something I stumbled upon several years ago, and this book was pretty instrumental in shaping the young, inquisitive mind I had at the time. Bob’s book is considered an underground classic in the realm of metaphysics and spirituality, and it explores everything from higher consciousness and human evolution to sacred geometry, the secret government, UFOs, Atlantis and so much more. We’re not going to get too metaphysical though, so if you’re here for UFO and Atlantis talk, this is not for you. This chat is more about the topics that more directly affect our everyday lives and how we can continue on the path of positive personal transformation. Because, really, that is my primary interest here and always has been, and it turns out it’s Bob’s primary interest too, so it was nice to explore that common ground together. So take a few deep circular breaths and let Bob Frissell guide you through the hidden hallways that make up the haunted house we all have living inside us.

OCCULTURE 135: Aaron French // The Mandela Effect, Conspirituality, New Memory & The Convergence of Everything
Jul 30, 201901:13:47Tap to summarizeAaron French has written what he says is the first academic paper focused on one of the most batshit theories any of us have ever heard of. His paper is called “The Mandela Effect & New Memory” and was recently published by the academic journal Correspondences: Journal for the Study of Esotericism. Aaron’s paper looks at this recent phenomenon and why it’s become such a popular conspiracy theory and Internet meme, and how it sheds light on our contemporary technoscience culture and the influence of advanced information technology on human cognition, memory, and belief, and aspects of the Mandela Effect that are familiar to esotericism, since both conspiracy theories and esoteric knowledge cohabit the same marginalized cultural space. Aaron is also an accomplished academic and has written many pieces of weird fiction, some of which we’ll talk about in the Patreon extension. And he’s also an accomplished anthology and magazine editor, having put together publications that featured interviews with names like Graham Hancock, Peter Levenda, Richard Smoley, Donald Tyson and Whitley Strieber. But it is that paper, the Mandela Effect & New Memory, that lays the foundation for our conversation here today, so let’s groove to that sweet sweetback badass song of conspiracy, spirituality and the memory of how fucked up our childhood really was.

OCCULTURE 134: Erik Davis // High Weirdness, Psychedelic Spirituality, Counterculture & The Paranoid Magic of Verisimilitude
Jul 12, 201901:08:29Tap to summarizeErik Davis is back in the house for a second time to rap a bit about his latest book High Weirdness: Drugs, Esoterica and Visionary Experience in the Seventies. Most of you know Erik from his podcast, Expanding Mind, or from the tome known as TechGnosis, or perhaps from his work on The Exegesis of Philip K Dick. No matter how you know Erik, you know he is the sultan of high strangeness, and High Weirdness may just be his magnum opus, which is saying quite a bit if you’ve read his previous work. High Weirdness charts the emergence of a new psychedelic spirituality that arose from American countercultural voices of the 1970s, including Philip K Dick, Terence McKenna and Robert Anton Wilson. These three authors changed the way millions of readers thought, dreamed, and experienced reality―but how did their writings reflect, as well as shape, the seismic cultural shifts taking place in America? PATREON EXTENSION Listen at patreon.com/occulture Erik’s idea of weird naturalism Terence & Dennis McKenna’s experiment at La Chorrera Robert Anton Wilson’s idea of Chapel Perilous Verisimilitude and the idea of a hoax The Exegesis of Philip K.
