Flight of the Navigator
Added 2024-02-17 04:54:12 +0000 UTCBrett covers the 1986 Disney sci-fi movie Flight of the Navigator, about a 12-year-old boy who becomes psychically bonded with the alien AI/spaceship (voiced by Pee-wee Herman) that abducts him and transports him into the future. Uncovering the film’s thinly veiled p-e-d-o subtext, Brett reveals the entire plot as a coded depiction of theta programming, a form of trauma-based mind control aimed at activating superpowers in child subjects. He also examines Disney’s relationship with NASA and scratches further under the surface of the Francis Ford Coppola-George Lucas-Steven Spielberg axis that revived Disney in the 1980s.

Is media an extension of this old idea of "the noble lie" gone haywire, pandoras box unleashed?

2024-02-28 09:43:08 +0000 UTCI think a good theme to note is the little pocket demon the kid has at the end. We also see this in Stranger Things, the heroes make it out of government mind control programs but they keep a cute little demon to stay in their pocket....
