Not our usual dreck — this week we cover a movie with some pedigree. Ari Aster is considered one of the American auteurs of this generation. But what happens when he tries to make a movie about small town pilledness during early covid lockdowns? Starring Joaquin Phoenix, Emma Stone and Pedro Pascal no less? We ruthlessly investigate Eddington (2025).

Jake, Julian, and Travis try to make sense of Trump’s continued and ineffective attempts to make his base stop caring about the case of Jeffrey Epstein. In some conspiracist circles, Trump’s moves on this issue are so confusing that they have resorted to “Trump clone” theories. We also discuss the Wall Street Journal (WSJ) report that revealed the cryptic birthday note that Trump sent to Epstein.
For dessert, the Jake Street Journal (JSJ) has done an investigation of its own and secured a collection of additional birthday wishes written from Donald Trump to Jeffrey Epstein.

Many Trump voters were under the naive impression that his administration would release information about Jeffrey Epstein’s co-conspirators in his child trafficking operation. So it came as a shock when the DOJ released a memo claiming that they couldn’t find any “client list,” there is no evidence of Epstein blackmail activities, and they did not find “evidence that could predicate an investigation against uncharged third parties.”
Not even MAGA loyalists are buying this.
Jake, Julian, and Travis try to make sense of the DOJ’s blundering attempt to put an end to Epstein chatter, discuss how the memo contradicts previous statements by FBI Director Kash Patel, Attorney General Pam Bondi, and Deputy Director Dan Bongino, and explore whether this is scandalous enough to fracture Trump’s base for good.

Is there actually a liberal equivalent to QAnon? Travis doesn’t think so.
But there are anonymous entities and online communities that bear some of the noxious elements of QAnon, despite being liberal. In this episode we explore two of them.
First, we take a look at the “Alt National Park” social media accounts. These are anonymous “resistance” accounts that got started during Trump’s first term, but took a strange turn when they moved to Bluesky.
Then we explore the 4 AM Club, a loose community of spiritual women on Tik Tok who believe that they were awakened to something significant the day after the 2024 presidential election.
Will fake park rangers and online channelers save us from the horrors of the Trump administration? You already know the answer, but listen to the episode to hear what we have to say about it.

Science In Transition Episode 1: Birth of the Clinic
As various fields in the medical sciences advance during the interwar period, doctors confront a problem: the treatment of adults who desire to change their sex. While many clinicians propose psychotherapy, a few dotted across the Western world have a different idea: use newly synthesized hormones and surgical procedures to treat them. Liv and Spencer dig into the early decades of the Western gender clinic, its treatment of gender-variant and intersex children, and the crusaders who sought to morally mandate the transsexual out of existence.

Hundreds of people have been arrested in Los Angeles after days of protests, which are in response to aggressive immigration raids ordered by President Trump. When people took to social media to make sense of the events, they were confronted with fake, AI-generated videos of the protests. They also saw real photos that were labelled as out-of-context by AI. Thus breaking new ground in worthless, deceitful slop.
Plus, we speak to Anna Merlan at Mother Jones about her recent reporting on the RFK Jr.-connected “MAHA Institute.” That organization’s head, Leland Lehrman, has pushed extremist ideas for decades, including endorsing the conspiracist fraudulent text "Protocols of the Elders of Zion.” RFK Jr. himself is evidently embracing a genuinely anti-vax agenda in his role as Health Secretary by firing and replacing the Advisory Committee for Immunization Practices (ACIP).
We've seen the future. And the future is an AI chatbot telling you to treat your latest typhus infection with apple cider vinegar.

RFK Jr. is now running the Department of Health and Human Services. So we sat down with journalist and Conspirituality co-host Derek Beres to get an idea about how long it will take for Kennedy’s "Make America Healthy Again" (MAHA) agenda to revive the black plague.
We chat about why Beres argues that Kennedy's wellness-sounding platform masks an exclusionary health vision which amounts to “soft eugenics,” RFK Jr’s endorsement of the MMR vaccine and how this angered his followers, harmful narratives about autism which will probably be endorsed by the federal government, and how the MAHA Commission's AI-generated report doesn’t seriously address health problems facing children.

A viral conspiracy theory has taken tik tok by storm with a bold claim that the “2020 effect” is finally fading. The colors are returning to planet Earth and summer is looking like it might have a “2015 vibe”. Jake and Travis are joined by OG QAA guest and fellow conspiracist researcher and author, Mike Rothschild, to try and uncover why the color disappeared in the first place, and the repercussions of it returning once again. Have the planet’s devs finally pushed the long-awaited graphics update? Or have they merely reverted to an older patch?

What happens when conspiracists make their dreams come true by taking over the deep state agencies and cracking them open? FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino's recent shift from conservative radio host to federally-employed "Epstein killed himself" advocate has created chaos among those who hope for new revelations from newly influential insiders.
Joined by Will Sommer of the False Flag newsletter, Jake, Liv, and Travis dissect Bongino's controversial flip-flop, the disillusionment of the MAGA faithful, and Glenn Beck's anguish over the situation.
Meanwhile, James Comey's cryptic seashell Instagram post sparks a numerological panic and a Secret Service visit, mainstream conservative media cozies up to QAnon figures, and Elon Musk signals a pullback from political spending after a major loss in the Wisconsin Supreme Court election.

Devin O'Shea guides us into the world of acclaimed novelist Thomas Pynchon, whose cryptic, sprawling narratives echo the chaotic info deluge of contemporary digital culture. With Paul Thomas Anderson's newest Pynchon adaptation, One Battle After Another, hitting theaters in September 2025, and Pynchon himself releasing a fresh novel, Shadow Ticket, in October, it’s time to unpack what makes Pynchon uniquely relevant today.
From the hippie noir mystery of Inherent Vice to the critically-panned Vineland, we explore why this reclusive author has captivated (and frequently frustrated) readers for decades. Along the way, we discuss the complex relationship his work has with history, conspiracy, technology, and power.

Matthew Johnson was a once respected clinical psychologist, best-selling parenting author, and national media guest. Then he saw something strange in the woods that shattered his worldview. Brad is back following a decades-long descent into the strangest corner of the American fringe: a secretive Bigfoot research site, telepathic communication with beings of light, a spiritual war against evil forces, an elder named Zorth, and eventually, prophecies involving Donald Trump. This is the bizarre saga of Team Squatchin USA - a story that starts with a poop break in the woods of Oregon, and ends with a licensed therapist who’s been accused of starting a Sasquatch cult.

People use generative artificial intelligence to troubleshoot technical problems, churn out anime-inspired images based on their personal photos, and drive university professors who teach undergrad courses to the darkest pits of despair.
But are the applications of artificial intelligence limited to worldly matters?
On today’s episode, we discuss how strings of words generated by mindless neural network predictions over tokenized inputs are burrowing into our very souls. First, we speak to Rolling Stone journalist Miles Klee, who recently published a fascinating investigation into people who have fallen into spiritual fantasies because of their conversations with ChatGPT. And then Annie covers how conservative author Rod Dreher sees the devil in AI chatbots.
Have you heard the good news of our lord and savior: byte pair encoding tokenization?

There is no bigger franchise in the video game business than Grand Theft Auto by Rockstar Games. So naturally, fans of open-world criminal mayhem descend into wild dot-connecting in the years before each hotly-anticipated release.
The next installment, GTA 6, has been delayed and is now slated for release on May 26th of 2026. This is despite many assurances from Rockstar that everything was on track for the game to come out in 2025. Alas, this will be another Christmas without an ultra-violent crime simulator wrapped beneath the pine tree. Sad! But at least Rockstar’s long silence gave us some great theories.
Rockstar’s trademark hush-hush routine has turned GTA fandom into a sweaty detective bureau: Reddit sleuths pore over patent filings, numerologists map release dates to moon phases, and anonymous “insiders” drop breadcrumbs. In this episode we sift the signal from the speculation and ponder whether weaponized silence is part of the new marketing playbook.

Netflix’s Adolescence, a four-part thriller about a 13-year-old murder suspect, has hijacked Britain’s political conversation. Annie Kelly explains why the series hit such a nerve: it maps the online pipelines that radicalise boys in their own bedrooms, dramatizes the deadly consequences of misogyny, and spotlights the adults too clueless to confront these threats. Within weeks, MPs demanded it be shown in classrooms, tabloid headlines frightened parents over coded emojis, and right-wing investigators branded the show a taxpayer-funded anti-incel psyop involving Sophie from Peep Show.
Come listen as Annie breaks down how virtuosic television managed to inspire breathtakingly cynical discourse about race, youth violence, and fictional portrayals of social issues.

A working man. A man who works… to free his boss’ daughter from the clutches of a human trafficking ring. Gabrus joins Jake and Julian as we attempt to make sense of this very puzzling film starring Jason Statham and co-written by none other than Sylvestor Stallone. They’ve come together to make an awful mess, complete with mobsters straight out of Grand Theft Auto and the Russian bad guy equivalent of Beebop and Rocksteady. Gabrus also talks about his experience seeing the film in 4D.

Some believe that they can make a better world just by posting enough online. But the YouTube-based Blood Over Intent community raises the stakes by literally bleeding for their beliefs.
Born from the trauma of Mark Braun, a Florida plumber turned self-styled Satan incarnate, Blood Over Intent promises followers a ticket to paradise, provided they upload a DIY blood ritual to social media. The kicker? Members claim that smearing a drop of their blood on hastily scrawled intentions will unlock a mythical Arctic portal to Eden underneath the flat earth.

Soyjaks! 4chan! Breeding kink! Katy Perry!
All that and a surprise update about skateboarder and television personality Bam Margera in this week's episode.
First up, Travis will tackle the recent devastating hack of 4chan, the infamous image board that gave us Pepe memes, QAnon family members, and maybe even a president. What is this “Soyjak Party” and why do they hate 4chan so much?
Then Julian will cover the recent Elon Musk breeding kink fanfic — if the Wall Street Journal were a “fan” and documented reporting were a “fic.”
Finally Jake will report on his investigation on worrying claims from conspiracists that the recent influencer-friendly flight of a Blue Origin rocket was entirely faked. We’ll also try to figure out which graphic designer is responsible for sneaking images of Baphomet into every spaceflight patch.

An exploration of the most famous right wing crank painter in the game: artist Jon McNaughton. From tea-party-era images of Obama burning the constitution to MAGA-era images of Trump as Atlas, the progression of his career has mirrored a deeper shift in the Republican base and its obsessions. Our guest is artist, writer, and host of the Doomscroll podcast Joshua Citarella.
