Barry Josephson, Jeffrey Epstein, and the “Epstein’s Books” Detail in Enchanted (5/4/26)
00:14:02
The controversy centers on a background detail in the 2007 Disney film Enchanted, where a storefront named “Epstein’s Books” appears briefly on screen. On its own, that might be brushed off as coincidence, but it becomes far harder to ignore when...

What's up, everyone? And welcome to another episode of the Epstein Chronicles. So we know that Jeffrey Epstein was a depraved, disgusting bastard. And we know that his friends, well, they were too. And now we're finding out that one of the producers from the movie Enchanted had a very, very close relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. And inside of the movie Enchanted, there was a scene with a bookstore, and that bookstore was named Epstein's. And then when you go back and you look at the emails between the two of them, it's relatively obvious to me that this was an Easter egg. And not only that, but in a Disney movie. It's almost unconscionable until you remember who owns Disney. And then, of course, you remember the Amy Robach tapes and how ABC protected Jeffrey Epstein. So as disgusting and as revolting as it is, is it really that shocking? It's not to me. These legacy media outlets and these companies have proven time and time again they don't care about people. They care about profits. They care about the next click. They care about keeping people engaged. And however they have to do that, that's what they're going to do. And when it comes to abc, the last thing they wanted to do was to lose access to the royal family. So instead of broadcasting Virginia's story and letting all of you know what happened, they sat on it, they quashed it, and they chose to protect Jeffrey Epstein. And boy, were they able to do that for years. Today's article is from the sun and the headline, princess and the Pedo. Epstein's Bookstore appears in Disney film Enchanted, produced by pal, who offered Predator Assistant with a great rack. Hell of a guy to be making kids movies, huh? Bunch of sick degenerates offering Jeffrey Epstein, your assistant who has a great rack, as if she's chattel. Just something to be traded, you know, I wish we could drop people like this, people like Epstein back in the old days and sell them off at a slave market. You know, bring them to like the slave market in Constantinople and then sell them to some far flung province. I mean, they like to hold people in servitude, right? They like to human traffic people, right? Maybe they need a taste of their own medicine. This article was authored by Emma Perry. A scene in beloved Disney movie Enchanted shockingly depicts a store called Epstein's Books. As close links between one of the film's producers and the pedophile can be revealed. Maybe the next Disney movie should have Woody Allen as the director. And maybe they can get Roman Polanski to produce it. And how about that dude from Dance with Wolves that ended up just getting arrested? Whatever his name was, he can be in it too. I mean, they have no shortage of sick degenerate fucks in Hollywood, right? The 2007 family movie depicts a cartoon princess navigating the real world of New York City and ends with the scene where characters are making gowns for children. In the sequence, a group of young girls in princess outfits is shown. But when the camera transitions to the next shot, it pans directly to a storefront bookstore prominently labeled Epstein's Books and. I know, I know. Just another coincidence, right? Like everything else, everything's a coincidence. Trust me, bro. Don't trust your own eyes or your own intuition. While this could be a coincidence, the Epstein files reveal a deep personal and professional relationship between Enchanted producer Barry Josephson and the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, raising questions as to whether its inclusion was deliberate reference. I think it was. How about that? Now, Josephson, I'm sure he'll say that that's just a bunch of BS but that's what liars do, right? They lie. And considering Josephson's trying to pass Jeffrey Epstein, one of his assistants, I would say that Josephson is another disturbed individual. Josephson, 70, who served as one of two main producers of Enchanted, appears extensively in the files, sharing multiple emails and even posing for photographs with Epstein. What do you mean? I'm in a picture with Jeffrey Epstein? I never met the guy. Except that one time. And the other time. Oh, wait, and the third time and maybe a fourth and a fifth. Photos from the files released by the U. S. Department of justice show the two men together on the set of the 2015 Western Movie and Edge. Never seen it, no idea what that movie is and definitely have no desire to see it. If this dude was involved. In one, the pair sit in the director's tent while the others, they pose surrounded by young women whose faces have been redacted on the set. In another, Josephson, who has worked on movies and TV shows including Bones, Dirty Grandpa and Kiss of the Spider Woman, pretends to tie an unknown female to some railway tracks. Now look, under normal circumstances, you could write that off as people having a good time, right? Joking around, whatever, on set, enjoying their lives. But when we're talking about Epstein and his friends, are you willing to write anything off at this point? I know I'm not. Not in the least. The pair also emailed each other many times between 2010 to 2018, with Josephson taking loans from Epstein and and even arranging an audition for Enchanted for the financier's goddaughter, Selena Dubin. Uncle Jeffy. Remember good old Uncle Jeffy and Selena Dubin. Imagine being Glenn Dubin and allowing this dude near your family after he was with your wife for all those years. And he's a child molester. I have a sneaking suspicion that Mr. Dubin's favorite place inside of the bedroom is in the corner in the cuck chair. Seems like the perfect place for somebody like Mr. Dubin. In one alarming 2011 email exchange, years after Epstein's conviction for child sex crimes, the predator asked Josephson if he knew of any amazing women in their early 20s. I would like to be an assistant. Well, well, well. Epstein never trafficked women from anybody else. Maybe it's not as insidious as as a traditional trafficking ring, but the results are all the same. Josephson responded by recommending a woman who had worked for him on two previous films, stating, I have the girl. Her name is redacted. She worked for me on two films. Young, attractive, insane, rack, smart, although not a genius, but very efficient, will do anything. And tight lipped, period. End of story. In other words, you can abuse her, you can exploit her. She's not going to tell anybody because she wants to be in Hollywood. Is that clear for everybody out there? Now, for all the jerk offs out there that want to play coincidences, that's what that means. Josephson later offered to provide her contact information or have her call Epstein directly from Los Angeles. The film producer also arranged auditions for movie parts for women and girls known to Epstein, including his goddaughter, selena Dubin. In one 2011 email after Selena's audition, Epstein wrote angrily, I cannot tell you how annoyed I was to hear that someone was harsh with my goddaughter. You have no idea. And I'm sure Josephson didn't like that email, huh? Somebody like Epstein sending you that. Next thing you know, somebody's coming to your house and you're disappearing. Ask Al. Josephson wrote a long email back saying she. She said she just gave her the feedback she tells all the young actors that come into her. The whole audition process is brutal, it's harsh and it's filled with disappointment. He went on to explain how difficult it was to get his own wife a small six line part on Bones. He added, I've apologized to Eva, Selena's mother, and I'm reluctant to call Selena directly. If you'd like me to kindly speak to her, apologize directly, I will do that. Also, if you want me to set up another kind and gentle audition, I can easily do it. Imagine the kind of power and pull you must have to talk to a Hollywood producer like that and then for him to come to you slobbering and babbling and begging for forgiveness. It really is telling. I mean, how many people are we going to have evidence of Jeffrey Epstein emasculating? Who are powerful people? I mean, a picture of Bill Clinton in a dress and some pumps on the wall? What do you think that was about? Again, I'm sorry and I'll do anything to make amends. In 2015, he also offered to help Epstein make a movie about men who are falsely accused by women. Josephson offered to put the script through his own company, writing certainly the side of the coin not covered by news outlets. Anything to help your pedophile buddy, huh? He borrowed 120,000 from Epstein in 2011 and 2015 and 2013, according to the files, both of which were repaid. All of these loans and shit that these people get, you mean to tell me they're all on the up and up, huh? Everything is locked and loaded? Or do they have their own shadow financial system that is basically unreportable? In another 2013 email, he listed his expected future earnings, including 300,000 for Enchanted, and wrote, as in the past, I will pay you back as quickly as possible with interest. Again, I am so fortunate to have a friend who'd consider helping me during a difficult cash flow moment. Josephson often told Epstein what a great friend he was and including in 2013 when he emailed him saying, you're an amazing friend. Nothing I wouldn't do for You? Yeah, like make a bookstore in the movie Enchanted named after you. The whole lot of you people are sick and need a trip to the volcano inside of the helicopter.

Boss, what's the most dreaded question that you can get when you tell people you host a podcast called the Lapsed Fan? Ugh.

It's what is it about?

Lapsed Fan Podcast Host
And why is that, do you think? Because to like pro wrestling is to lose the respect of others. Now what if we told you there's a podcast that explains exactly why that is and why it's kind of deserved? For over a decade, we've taken fact finding missions through the thicket of half truths that is wrestling history. We watch old matches, call out carnies, laugh at our own jokes, and have so much fun doing it that some people actually can't handle it. Think wrestling is an escape from real life? Think again. Same power games, same office politics, same people lying to your face. Just with entrance music and absolutely no company health insurance under any circumstances. All I offer is opportunity, not benefits. As do we, Vince. The Lapsed Fan Podcast Come for the wrestling history? Stay for the uncomfortable truth about why it used to be better and why you still care.

A year earlier, he wrote to Epstein, hope you're thriving. And as always, thanks for saving me. Whatever the that means. Thanks for saving you from what? In another gushing email, he wrote, I I'm overwhelmed by your friendship. Oh, isn't that cute? BFFs forever. Are they going to eat lunch together at the big table? Josephson was also in regular contact with Epstein's primary assistant, Leslie Groff, regarding introductions and coordinating meetings. Communications continued as late as June of 2018, with the two men arranging to meet at a pizza restaurant in New York City. Oh, they met at a pizza restaurant. Pizzagate's true. It's all real Josephson's wife, singer Brooke Josephson, announced she was divorcing the Hollywood producer with whom she has two children, after his name surfaced in the files. Announcing the news on Instagram in February, she wrote, in light of recent events in the news this week, I am prepared to share a personal update. Barry Josephson and I are going through a divorce. I was not aware of Barry's relationship with Jeffrey Epstein during our entire marriage. I respectfully request privacy and prayers for our children and I during this time. Well, that would be quite the rude awakening, huh? Married to somebody, think you know him, only to find out they're sending these slack jawed ass emails and palling around with Jeffrey Epstein. That seems like a basis for divorce to me, a representative told the Sun. Mr. Josephson had no role in suggesting or choosing any of the names in Enchanted. All names either came from the writers or the director. The sun has reached out to Disney for comment. In a previous response to publication Variety back in February, Josephson admitted he socialized with Epstein and allowed him to visit on set twice. He never traveled on his private jet or saw him with miners? Oh no, not at all. Never. Never once. So he never saw him with his assistance. Okay, cool, he said. There's no excuse for what I said in some of my emails. The language was crude and juvenile and I'm ashamed. No, that was your deepest, darkest moment, right? Nobody was watching. You could take the mask off and you could be yourself. Don't backtrack now. We saw you for what you were, Mr. Josephson, and what you are is a vile human being, josephson added. My biggest regret, bar none, is that I foolishly believed his denials of wrongdoing. I apologize to all who were hurt by this clearly terrible and depraved individual. You think he'd still be talking like that if Epstein was alive? All these people were so scared of this dude, it's not even funny. And why would they all be scared of a lone predator. Well, maybe, just maybe, he wasn't a lone predator and what he was was an asset and middleman working for various governments around the world and somebody who had accrued a lot of power. Now does that seem more likely than him being a lone predator with all this pull? Now as far as Disney goes and the movie Enchanted, I'm sure they're gonna come up with some cock brained excuse for why the place is called Epstein's. But considering all of the emails and all of the evidence, I don't know how much of that narrative I'm willing to buy. So we'll see what Disney has to say for themselves and when they respond, we'll get it added to the catalog. All the information that goes with this episode can be found in the description box.
