#Heaven's Gate Podcast

Propaganda below the cut:

It's really interesting narrative nonfiction and what I love about it is that the narrator/host is a cult survivor so he has a lot of empathy for the people he's talking about.

Episode 123: Lights! Phoenix! Action!

Garth has returned from his special assignments, and Cody has returned from Phoenix with a tale to tell. Get out your telescopes and potato cameras, look upwards and through the past to the mid 90's as we explore one of the largest mass UFO sightings in history! And along the way we'll take a ride on a warthog too. 

As always, please come join the episode discussion on the Least Haunted Discord!

Enjoy the images and videos below!

Newspaper article with artists interpretation of eye witness accounts of UFO that flew over Arizona March 13th, 1997.

Flight path of UFO. Starting in Henderson, Nevada and finishing near Tucson, Arizona. A route of approximately 370 miles or 546 Kilometers. This was traveled in 1.25 hours.

At 10:00 pm Mike Crispin looks southward across Phoenix towards "South Mountain" and captures this footage.

Approximate line of sight of Mike Crispin, with his position being the North (top) end of the line.

Arizona Governor Fife Symington III holds a press conference about The Phoenix Lights with an aide dressed as an alien.

The A-10 Thunderbolt II aka "The Warthog" Close Air Support (CAS) jet aircraft. Development began in 1972, and it entered into service in 1977. Headquartered at Davis-Monthan Air Force Base in Tucson, Arizona.

The General Electric GAU-8 Avenger 30mm Gatling Gun.

The Gau-8 Avenger can fire 3,900 30 millimeter depleted uranium rounds a minute. The round on the left is the 30 millimeter round, with the left being the round of a 30.06 rifle for comparison.

A video Analyisis of the Crispin footage that shows what is really going on with the second set of lights seen on March 13th, 1997.

Enhanced image from the video that shows the night time lights superimposed on top of daylight footage from the same exact spot and angle. This proves that the lights were beyond South Mountain, and confirms the official explanation of a LUU2 flare training exercise over the Barry M. Goldwater Gunnery Range.

Rick Alan Ross on How Cults Work, & How to Get Out (Deprogramming, NXIVM, Waco, Heaven's Gate & more)

Rick is a fascinating guest as he's been a part of the story of some of the largest cults in recent memory, from working with both the Branch Davidians and the FBI in Waco, to working with a family to free their daughter from Keith Raniere & NXIVM.

Our season 3 finale was one of my favorite episodes of “The Fantastic Story Society.” We were able to get into the nitty gritty of the variety of ways cults operate and some of the most famous and/or unusual cuts of all time. The biggest point of this episode was to bring awareness that 1) cults exist and they’re more ubiquitous than one might imagine 2) literally ANYONE is susceptible to getting…

Listed fandom fun

A bit of random data before we jump into the rankings for listed fandoms …

Since the numbers post yesterday we've had signups for nearly 60 new auctions, bringing the current total to 779. That beats the number of signups for 2016/7, 2018, 2019, 2020, and 2021, and puts us withing spitting distance of our record last year of 819. Can we do it? Will we do it? Signal boost FTH posts and encourage others to participate. More money raised for good causes, more fanworks in the world — it's a win/win!

We posted yesterday about the state of our unlisted write-in fandoms (we've had nine new ones since then!). Time to check in with the rankings for the listed fandoms.

At the top of the pack we have:

87 K-Pop * 66 Good Omens 50 Sherlock Holmes * 44 Harry Potter * 37 Marvel * 32 DC * 31 Mo Dao Zu Shi / The Untamed 27 Red, White, & Royal Blue 25 Star Wars * 23 Scum Villain's Self-Saving System

Our first tie is for 11th place -

22 Avatar The Last Airbender 22 Teen Wolf

And after that, nearly every other place is a tie. And which ones are ties for which places can be shifted slightly with just one signup. Or completely upended with two. Where will your fandom land?

Remember that if your fandom isn't here (or in the rest of the list below the cut), you can write it in. Signups are OPEN through Monday!

or. Rand on the night of Rachel's disappearance and her birthday.

[yuri-alexseygaybitch]

Yeah Andrewism's been pissing me off for a while now. I initially skipped the political cults video because I knew it'd just be a retreading of his shitty podcast episodes.

He's a frequent guest on It Could Happen Here, and he did a two parter on the LaRouche movement, but instead of focusing on their history or their beliefs or even just staying on topic of that particular cult, he kept just going "blah blah all ML movements are cults, blah blah all statists are cults, blah blah there's no difference between an organisation with a stated ideology and a high control group", and it just felt like anti-learning. No good warnings of behaviours from organisations to watch out for, just ideologies to watch out for, because there never has been and never will be an anarchist cult it's impossible. It was like a reddit atheist going "all religions are cults there's no difference between heaven's gate and a small church people only go to for weddings and holidays".

And also him saying he wouldn't mention right-wing cults bc everyone knows they're bad - like, why not compare and contrast these groups? Why skip them if not to just completely ignore that they're the bigger more pressing concern? I don't know of any neo-Jim Jones-ian groups that exist nowadays, but there sure are giant well funded megachurches that say Trump is the second coming.

Even if you did want to make this hypothetical video, wouldn't it just be better to call it ML cults, and list the bad organisations and the cultic tactics they use? I'm p sure the average breadtube fan has heard of the BITE model.

He also really took umbrage when FD Signifire promoted a Chemical Mind video defending people who get called "tankies", and said they would talk privately about it.

Also it does bear mentioning that the usual host of It Could Happen Here is Robert Evans of Behind the Bastards, whom many people have suspicions about due to his work for the NED-funded Bellingcat. I know that's just guilt-by-association, but those two are associated.

All Breadtubers are ops and you can't change my mind

My Peak TV Journey Only Murders in the Building

The short version: I liked the most recent season, I get why some people didn’t, and I hope the next season is the last. While the building of the title is still the site of the murders, the past two seasons have mostly been show biz satire. The way a viewer feels about it will depend on how you feel about all the variety of guest stars this affords. I found myself enjoying thinking about how these actors appearing resonated with their other roles. For some examples:

The murder victim for the season was Sazz Pataki, Charles Haden-Savage’s long time stunt double. I feel sad about the loss of Sazz, whose presence was always a treat. Watching the third season of Party Down reminded me how much Jane Lynch can make a character different while still being distinctly a Jane Lynch character. True star material.

The season introduced Bev Melon an executive at Paramount played by Molly Shannon. I enjoyed thinking about how her character here is as the kind of person who made her The Other Two character, Pat Dubek’s life miserable. Also through this Richard Kind was on continuing to be in everything, here as a neighbor who wears an eye patch for conjunctivitis and looks somewhat menacing. For viewers like me who saw him in both Girls5Eva and Evil over 2024, this was a funny midpoint.

It was great seeing Desmin Borges as another one of the west wing neighbors. I’ve missed his presence since You’re The Worst ended. That said, he and his family had the most underdeveloped presence of the newly introduced neighbors. He can do so much more! (And I trust that the unfamiliar to me actors who played his wife and daughter can too.)

Finally seeing Griffin Dune as Dudenoff, a film professor/ unofficial landlord made me feel like I had great luck with timing. He showed up shortly after I finished reading his memoir, The Friday Afternoon Club: A Family Memoir, which per the subtitle, was more bout being from a family of writers than his own experience as a filmmaker. His character, Dudenoff, has a Scorsese book on his desk, likely because Dunne co-produced and starred in After Hours, which Scorsese directed. (Though Dunne is also forever haunted by the idea of what if Tim Burton directed it.) I once saw Dunne do a Q&A after a screening of After Hours and I’m thrilled by his presence ever since.

The seasons plot involved a movie based on the first season being made. As such there were a lot of homages to other movies. Each episode is named after a movie and the early ones at least have characters talk about that movie. These included comparing the premier to Sergio Leone’s Once Upon a Time in the West which I have never seen. In the second episode, Sazz appears in footage from a documentary about stunt performers talking about how much she like Errol Morris’s Gates of Heaven, which I also haven’t seen. I also haven’t seen The Sisters Brothers, which was referenced this season by having the film within the show directed by a pair of sisters with the family name Brothers. I suspect that Selena Gomez suggested this as the writer/director of The Sisters Brothers also directed Emilia Perez.

I was amused that the movie about the podcast within the series was being produced by Paramount. The tv series is produced by and broadcast on a streaming service owned by Disney. How did this happen? I have to assume that it was part of a push towards better brand awareness that included Paramount sponsoring the summer movies at Bryant Park

(I didn’t get to any of them) and a Paramount in the 1970 series at the MoMA, (I only got to a screening of Robert Altman’s Nashville, which is great).

The transition to being about lonely apartment dwellers to showbiz satire with aging affecting everything feels sort of inevitable. After all Charles and Oliver started as show biz veterans with various amounts of dissatisfaction with their post-career lives. But even if you liked the various celebrities playing new characters or versions of themselves, the part of the season that said that this case would have us circling back to the beginning, only for that not to be true was frustrating. Sazz’s murder was entirely related to things going on in her life. There plot holes from the first season that were pointed out are still plot holes. There’s were some plots introduced in the second season that hadn’t been mention since. The building related characters whose murder is sets up. The next season has barely been seen in the past two. Which gets back to why I hope the next season is the last, so they can commit to taking care of these plot holes, and more importantly, the lives of the buildings inhabitants.

heard about mikko, sorry bud. that's rough. chris macfarland will never see the gates of heaven.

this ask filled me with so much joy immediately. i have been looking at nothing but hockey content for the last 6 hours. i've watched THREE emergency podcast episodes. you didnt ask but i need to yap so my thoughts are below the cut lmaoo

im pretty present on avs twitter and tbh i've kinda been expecting this to happen for like ? months lmao?? like i know avs fans were all really confident that he would resign, but like MONTHS ago they said his camp wanted 14 mil and the avs couldn't pay. i'd rather we trade then lose him after this season honestly

now like. ofc im DISAPPOINTED lmao. i hate that athletes are willing to leave a team they love and have found success with because they want 14 mil instead of 12. that's always kinda bs to me. but it's his right, he's damn good 🤷

im not gonna lie, im not incredibly happy that we traded MIKKO RANTANEN for a second and fourth liner, i would've preferred we gave a franchise player in exchange for a franchise player. BUT this trade does free up smth like 1 million in cap, which is... nice. not much, but nice

anyways!! i honestly think i'm happier with this trade than most other people are? like yeah necas/drury combined aren't as good as rantanen, but i don't think this is like... devestating. cmac's lowkey got my full trust after mittelstadt/wedgewood/blackwood.

THAT BEING SAID!!! im going to miss mikko in the media videos SO FUCKING MUCH. so much jo content is just.... gone now. never to be seen. FUCK!!!! hopefully they learn their lesson and let him be paired with nate next year
