(00:00):
Today we're breaking down weapons.

(00:01):
They filmed the director claims was inspired by alcoholism, but trust me, they packed
this thing with so much occult symbolism.
It might as well be a ritual, a missing classroom of kids in Maybrook, PA, where the mascot
is a goat, a mass sleepwalking event that goes down at 217 a.m. on 888, the serious lion
gates portal parasitic mind control numerology tying into Osiris Q and Crowley's Leabor 777

(00:25):
plus a witch ant literally weaponizing children through magic.
This movie hints at the subconscious, the basement, the hidden sun, and maybe the end times of
the new a on my supporters got to vote on which film analysis they wonder for their bonus
show for the month of October.
And this controversial new film called Weapons was the winner.
So I'm here to deliver and I'll be honest, I'm a bit surprised at how much I was able

(00:46):
to find here, join along as we decode weapons.
We're going to walk through this whole film, starting with a brief discussion of the cast
and all that stuff I do, the preamble for the movie.
They're going to hit the ground running.
We've got some hidden messaging, goats with the bobs.

(01:08):
We got 1948, what that means.
The serious lion gates portal of the blazing star of free masonry, 217 and the remaining
of that connections to Stephen King, the shining QAnon, Osiris and the resurrection ritual,
Mark of the Beast, parasitic mushrooms, seven glizzies and a meaning of that bell with

(01:30):
the triangle with the number six, the tree, MK Ultra, Campbell, so Coca-Cola will pull
it all together in the conclusion I'll pitch my theory about the coded meaning of this
film as the summoning of the anti-Christ through Alistair Crowley's horror Babylon.
That's a lot because there's a lot to get through.

(01:50):
So we're going to try to buzz through this thing and if you're free feed losing, you're going
to get a preview and you're going to say, "Dang Isaac, I want to buy you a coffee so hard
right now to unlock the whole show, along with the hundreds of other bonus shows you do
every single month for the supporters and go add free with early access and the whole
works."
Well, you got three options for supporter feeds and one I recommend is patreon.com/luminatiwatcher.

(02:14):
The easiest one is Apple Premium, the cheapest one if you can copy and paste an RSS feed link
and deal with me as your tech support guru, luminatiwatcher.com, the VIP section.
Everything is always linked in the bio.
See if this is your month to buy me a cup of coffee with inflation.
It's now cheaper than a cup of coffee.
Oh my goodness.
And thank you for all my supporters that have been supporting the show, keeping it alive.

(02:38):
I appreciate you as always.
Now I'll put a bunch of episodes in the show notes that you can link to.
You can check out if you want to dig deeper into some of these topics that I'm going to bring
up throughout the analysis for maybe the newbies that don't understand some of these concepts
and it's too confusing because we don't have time to unpack the gory details of each of

(03:03):
these kind of complex theories.
So I'm going to refer you to the episodes that I'll link in the show notes.
Also another reminder for my people that are on Patreon or VIP section.
If you're looking for the video version of this, that's a tier two perk.
Right?
I know it's goofy, right?
But anyway, this is how it was set up years ago back in 2017 when I started this.

(03:24):
So tier two is the video version of the show where you can watch the movie clips and all
the images I'm talking about as I bring them up.
That's going to be on tier two.
And you're on tier two, there's going to be a link in every episode show notes for the
tier two video index, okay?
All right.
Now the preamble I do for the movie reviews because I find these important.

(03:49):
How long is this movie?
Well, it's over two hours, just barely, which honestly kind of surprised me for how speedy
this thing moved through the story.
So it's two hours, but little asterisk, it moves pretty quick.
And in fact, you know, the next question you're going to ask is, well, should I watch it before
I listen?

(04:09):
It's one of the better horror movies I've seen in a while to great little horror mystery,
but there's a few very gory scenes.
So if you're a little sensitive, maybe you're not going to love these couple of scenes
where it gets pretty gory.
The, in fact, when I watched the trailer for this movie, I thought it looks stupid.
I wasn't going to watch it.
But due to high demand and of course the, the supporter feeds who voted on what movie

(04:33):
analysis they wanted for their bonus show for October, weapons was the winner.
So here you go.
And like I said earlier, I actually watched this movie and I thought, okay, I mean, there's
some witchcraft in there.
I can figure out something to talk about with this guy.
And then it won the poll that I did.
And I rewatched it and I thought, there's a ton of stuff in here.

(04:56):
So I'm glad this worked out very well because I, I, we'll go through it.
Okay, there's just, there's a ton of stuff in here.
And if you do plan on watching this, I highly recommend watching it before listening to
this analysis because it's the mystery of the movie that keeps you locked in for those
two hours.
Okay.

(05:17):
Now, the next segment of course, who's in it?
You got the cast and the crew directed and written by Zach Kregger, who also,
wrote and directed Barbarian, which was also a great movie.
Fun fact, he's married to Sarah Paxton.
She was in Twin Peaks, the return she played Candy Shaker.

(05:38):
And she is, which is, which I'm just now realizing quite the curious name because she plays
this sort of eye candy character.
So kind of a funny plan words for her name in Twin Peaks.
Also side plug.
I just got back from Seattle.
And where I got to meet Ray Wies and Cherle and Mary Reaver and David Lynch's sister,

(05:59):
it was insane.
It was incredible.
And if you want to learn more about that, I've got a special edition, Gray Lodge episode
over on Breaking Social Norms because I took my lovely wife, Josie, and we unpack the
trip to Seattle.
What it's like, well, we talked to them some crazy questions I asked.
You can hear what Cherle thought of my tattoo of her and how she shot me down.

(06:25):
You'll have to listen for more of the exciting details on Breaking Social Norms.
Okay.
Now, in the movie, so Sarah Paxton is also in weapons.
She plays the wife of Justin Long's character.
He was in a movie called Idiocracy, which we prophetically covered in March of 2023 because

(06:50):
we keep marching down this stupid path.
Again, I'll link that idiocracy in the show notes.
It was a great time doing that analysis because that was one of my favorite movies back when
I watched it in 2005 or whatever it was.
Now the producer of rep weapons was a guy named Roy Lee.
And I'd never heard about this guy, but he's produced just about every movie in history.

(07:12):
If you don't believe me, look him up on Wikipedia.
I won't even try to go to the list.
It's insane.
Josh Brolin, oh big head there plays Archer.
I've heard something about how Hollywood likes actors with big heads.
And my man's got a big head.
All right, big head for some big brains.
And he was in the goonies, right, which I will do a film analysis on sometime here for

(07:35):
my number one supporter, Cheryl.
I got it.
It's in the works.
It give me 12 months.
I know I work on a slow, but you know, I can't rush art.
Okay.
And when the stars align, I will make that happen.
He was also in no country for old men, which I criminally have not even seen yet.

(07:56):
It's on my list.
I got to watch it.
I know it's great.
He also plays Thanos and the Avengers and he's in Dune.
One more could you ask for?
Well, you could ask for an 80s movie called Thrashing where he's a skateboarder that stars
Cheryl and Finn, our beloved Audrey Horn, who still hasn't been blocked on Instagram.
And I did watch Thrashing a while ago.

(08:19):
Great 80s movie.
You can't stop, Josh Brolin.
This is what I'm trying to get out here.
Even when it comes to wives, he's been married and divorced three times, including Diane
Lane.
He's a nepot baby.
His dad was an actor.
He was his dad was in Peeley's Big Adventure.

(08:40):
And at the end of the movie in Peeley's Big Adventure, you see a film being made about the
life of Peeley Herman.
And guess who plays Peeley Herman?
My man, Josh Brolin's dad.
So and his mom and Josh Brolin's mom was a casting director.
His stepmom is Barbara Streisand.
Of course, he's going to be famous celebrity, right?
Now he says he tells his life history that he grew up in the rough side of town, which I

(09:06):
thought really.
That's kind of strange.
He said he was rolling with a bunch of punk rockers and they were stealing cars to support
his heroin addiction.
So, hey, I'm not judging.
Now Archer was originally going to be played by Pedro Pascal, but he had committed to
Fantastic Four, which my man down a salt lake was going to see Fantastic Four.

(09:28):
I'm waiting for him to hit me up and tell me how it was.
I met him at the Italian Fest.
Anyway, yeah, Pedro Pascal was going to be Archer, but they got the tap big head to get
in there and do it.
Really a garner.
She plays Justine Gandhi and she was in the Netflix show Ozark with Jason Bateman.

(09:54):
The first couple of seasons were great.
I stopped watching it for no reason at all.
And she was she's in the she's most famous for that meme of if you're going to if you want
to stop me, you're going to have to kill me.
You know what I'm talking about.
Or if you don't, maybe I'm more chronically online than some of you.
She was in a show called the Americans.
I've never seen it.

(10:15):
She was in a apartment seven, a, which was the prequel to Rosemary's baby, which I surprisingly
liked.
I thought that was fair.
Everyone hated it.
They proceeded to shat on it.
I don't know why I thought it was good enough.
She was in Sin City, a game to kill for the sequel.
And that also started Josh Brolin.

(10:37):
Alden Aaron Reich.
I don't know if I'm saying his name right.
He plays the police officer Paul.
He got his start after meeting Spielberg at a bomb.
It's and later worked on Francis Ford Coppola's T-Dore after auditioning by reading catcher
in the rye, which we did a two part series on February of 2025.
Again, I'll link in the show notes.

(11:00):
Unless you're on the VIP section, I can't link.
You're just going to have to like scroll back in time to that correct episode.
Patreon.
I'll try to dig up the links for you guys to keep it easy.
Apple premium.
You can't link those.
You're going to see links in the free feed, but that's for the free feed ad filled versions
of those episodes.
So my recommendation, if you're on the supporter feed, scroll back, avoid the ads.

(11:23):
Benedict Wong plays Marcus.
He's the principal.
He was in sunshine, which we just did a film analysis for as the bonus episode in August,
I believe.
And he was also in the Avengers with Josh Brolin.
Amy Madigan, she plays Aunt Gladys.
She was in Uncle Buck field of dreams, gone baby gone.

(11:47):
She was in Carnival, which I want to rewatch.
I watched that back in the day when it came out, stars the man from another place from Twin
Peaks.
Now, I didn't know this, but she's been married to Ed Harris since 1983.
And he's always in good stuff.
He was in Truman Show.
He played Christoff, which we covered Truman Show back in January 2020.

(12:08):
In the soundtrack, it's full of stars.
The movie features prominently one of George Harrison's biggest songs called Beware of
Darkness, which featured apparently Eric Clapton, Ringo Star, Gary Wright, and of
course George Harrison.
But it's a song about not getting bogged down in the illusory nature of reality, what they

(12:29):
call Maya, the tultex called Maya.
And it's about finding one's own true will and purpose, which is very apropos for the
Allerster Crowley aspect that we're going to tie into since he was the guy who basically
came up with this idea of pursuing one's true will.
All right.

(12:50):
It's about pursuing your universal purpose.
Now we're going to get into the movie.
Plots boys coming.
I'm going to walk you to the whole thing.
So even if you're scared a little bit, I'll walk you through.
You don't need to be scared.
You don't need to see the gore.
I walk you through.
And it's the perfect time.
It's spooky season, of course.
So without further ado, let's get into it.
We start with a young female narrator.

(13:13):
And she sounds like the girl on, if you heard the great album, Liquid Sores by Giza from
the Wu Tang claim.
Anyway, she sounds like her, but she claims this is a true story.
I'm like, oh, here we go with the true story thing.
We just talked about this with Texas Chainsaw Massacre.
And she says a true story happened two years ago.
The news won't cover it because the government police couldn't solve it and they can't,

(13:37):
they can never admit to incompetency.
And it talks about this elementary school in Maybrook, PA.
It was actually filmed in Georgia because there is no Maybook, PA.
But listen to this girl.
She's going to basically explain the whole mystery of this film.
So take a listen.
This is a true story.
It happened right here in my town two years ago.

(13:57):
A lot of people die and a lot of freely weird ways in this story.
But you're not going to find it in the news or anywhere like that because the police and
the top people in this town were like someone bears that they weren't able to solve it,
that they covered everything all up.
But if you come here and ask anyone, the author is the same thing that I'm going to tell

(14:20):
you now.
This story starts in my school.
Maybrook Elementary is kindergarten through 5th grade.
So this one Wednesday is like a normal day for the whole school.
And they had this teacher who was new.

(14:40):
Her name was Justine Gandy.
And on this day, she was going to her classroom just like every morning.
But today, what's different?
Today, none of her kids were there.
Every other class at that school had all their kids.
Even the other third grade Mrs. Beltot was full.

(15:05):
But Mrs. Gandy's room was totally empty.
Well, not totally.
There was one boy there and his name was Alex Lilly.
And he was the only kid in the class of 18 that came to school that day.

(15:25):
And you know why?
He was the only one there.
Because the night before at 217 in the morning, every other kid woke up, got out of bed.
Walked downstairs, opened the front door, walked across the front yard and into the dark.

(15:49):
And they never came back.
Now right off the rip, we're going to see some images and you got to look, you got to frame
by frame it.
The Maybrook mascot is a goat.
Right?
I don't see no bobs, but the bobs are there.
We just don't see it on the logo for the school.

(16:09):
But the mascot's a goat.
You see it on the logo.
You see some posters now in the opening shot.
If you're not watching the video version of this podcast, the opening shot you see the
teacher just in Grady walking down the hallway and you'll see a lot of posters on the wall.
And it's, it's like class president running for class president posters, you know, whatever,

(16:30):
right?
Silly stuff.
One poster out of all those.
Doesn't have any text on it at all.
Clearly begging for our attention, but you wouldn't notice it.
In fact, I didn't see the first two times I watched this movie.
And to me, what it looks like and it's hard to tell, I try to, I try to run it in HD

(16:52):
on my, on my big screen and it wasn't any better.
But you can see the images I'll put on the Instagram ad, I said, why is that like a subscribe?
Or I'll put on the video version for my video, folks.
What you're going to see is what appears to be a, I would argue a magician on the peak of
a mountain with a goat climbing the mountain.
And you're going to see 17 kids each in a little pond, a little, little like body of water.

(17:19):
I counted it up 17 exactly.
And this is very important.
It's very important because that's what the story is.
It's about at 217 AM, 17 students disappear.
So it's very important.
And I liken this to the initiation ritual of Hodorowski's film, The Holy Mountain.
In fact, the colors on it, for some reason, strike me as similar to The Holy Mountain for no

(17:44):
reason at all.
Like the blue and the yellow.
But nonetheless, that tells you this film is loaded down with symbolism that they baked
into the background.
In fact, I'm going to tell you right now, I bet I could watch this again a fourth time and
probably find even more.
All right.

(18:05):
Now the new teacher, her name is Justine Gandy and she goes to class.
There's only one student named Alex Lilley.
That's our protagonist.
That's our hero's journey guy.
But in the background of the classroom, the first time I watched this, there's a wail,
there's a board of wails with some weird words that look like magical incantations to me.

(18:27):
Okay.
And I'm going to prove to you why you should trust me because I looked them up and it turns
out I'm very wrong about that.
The words are Odont, Odont City and Mystic City.
And turns out those are actually species of wails.
I mean, like my PA public education failed me apparently.

(18:51):
So not magical incantations at all.
I thought they were, you know, but like Oh, Don to seize.
I mean, I'm so stupid, but I don't have to say the words Odont to cities.
They are the whales that have teeth and Mystic cities.
They use the what they call bullying.
They filter out food through these big mouths full of water.

(19:12):
I don't know.
There's this thing with sea creatures in this movie that can't quite unpack yet.
There's sharks and whales and all kinds of stuff.
They also see in the classroom very briefly again, you got a phrase it frame by frame.
Something on there's a poster board about killings in India in 1948.

(19:35):
I looked this up.
It's got to be referencing the assassination of Gandhi.
All right.
That's when that happened.
Funny enough, the teacher's last name is Gandhi.
Got to be on purpose later on.
We'll also see one of the house numbers is 1948.

(19:56):
Why all the references to 1948?
Well, there was one particular place that was formally established and given statehood as
its own country.
It's been very controversial ever since.
It's about the size of New Jersey.
The colors are blue and white.
Is this film referencing that?
I believe it is.
I have some ideas that we're going to talk about in the conclusion, but it's relevant somehow.

(20:21):
I'll explain it to you.
Now, it's 217 in the morning and those 17 students, they all wake up, they walk out their home,
they never come back.
They do that little no-root-toe run where their arms are flailing back.
The director claims that this was influenced by that horrendous Vietnam war photo of the

(20:42):
girl who got napombed running brutal, right?
Now fun fact, the first theater run of this movie started the movie at 217 PM.
Furthermore, it was released on August 8th, which is the peak of the Lionsgate portal

(21:02):
for serious.
This is quite important in terms of astrology because it's the peak of serious power as it
comes into alignment with Orion and Earth.
The sun activates the power of serious.
We get the dog days of summer, which is a reference to the dog star, serious.
It's a time of manifestation for magicians, which is very important because that's what

(21:26):
this thing is all about.
I talked heavily about serious and the importance of that star system to the occult in my book
The Dark Path.
If you haven't heard that, again, I got narrated it for Audible.
It's my best seller.
I unloaded a ton of copies on Amazon.
I got signed copies of my new web store, occultsymbolism.com.

(21:48):
You can also pick up my mushroom and confused coffee.
Oh my goodness.
You want to hit that CrossFit Wad?
You want that high tea?
No, I don't know.
It's very good coffee though.
Mushroom with juice coffee at occultsymbolism.com and The Dark Path.
The reason that serious is important to give you a very short version of it is because these

(22:11):
occultists believe in cosmic energy, which comes through serious, which is why you see in
free masonry they have the symbol of the blazing star, which is actually a reference to
serious.
This goes back to the Babylonians and Alistair Crowley and Kenneth Grant.
They call this the hidden sun, the sun behind the sun.

(22:33):
They say it's the source of the occult powers, the thalamic current of magic.
Again, the eschatology of Crowley will play into my theory on what is happening in this
film.
All right.
Now, 217 is also important.
217 am is when they got up out of bed.
217 is also part of the story of the shining and Dr. Sleep, the sequel to the shining, which

(23:00):
is about alcoholism with Jack Torrance and Danny Torrance, which is a major part of this
film and the director confirmed it as his experience.
We're going to talk about that later on in the conclusion.
But as far as the shining connection recall, I did a three part shining analysis just recently.

(23:21):
And it's also entirely up on I made a one long video on YouTube.
It's like three and a half hours.
Okay.
So subscribe on YouTube, add occult symbolism.
I can upload some of my video analysis there, some of them they block.
They blocked the video clips from it.
But anyway, I talked about how in the analysis to again, to try to keep this.

(23:44):
I'm not going to make you listen to the full three and a half hours unless you want all
the gory details.
We talked about how Stephen King's novel has Danny finding the woman in room 217.
And I talked about how this is a reference to the story of Bluebeard and the hidden chamber.
And then Stephen King's book, Jack actually finds George Hatfield in the bathtub in 217.

(24:08):
All right.
Because in the movie version, you see the woman in the bathtub of 237 because you know
Cooper changes to 237.
And all that's important because you ties into Kabala with the Micva, the cleansing ritual
bath and all that stuff.
Now, to stick to weapons and 217, there's a lot of theories about what that could symbolize.

(24:33):
Some people say it's the two parents and the 17 children who all get under the spell of
the witch.
But there's a spiritual meaning of 217 as well, which we're all unpack at the end.
And there's a lot of numerology in the film.
Right.
Like I said, it's got symbolism for sure, no denying it.
So we have to now look at all the other aspects of it because normally I'm not going to

(24:57):
too deep in the geometry of numerology.
But as you'll find out when we go through the film, there's capitalistic ideas going on.
All right.
And the 17th letter in the alphabet is Q. And back in 2020, we did a Q a non symbolism
show.

(25:17):
I think it was like a three-parter.
And you're probably going to know where we went with this because we talked about how Osiris
was killed on the 17th day of March as per Plutarch.
Now March 17th is the 77th day of the year.
And that ties into 77, which is one of Crowley's favorite numbers because of Leber 77.

(25:41):
And you also see the on the sigil for the star of Babylon that he created.
And maybe you're picking up what I'm putting down.
I'll explain it at the end in case you're not.
It's not time yet, right?
Let's keep going.
No, you know, it's, I know I sound like a lunatic.
If you're like, if you're not familiar with these things, probably like, bro, what are

(26:01):
you ramlin' on about?
Then we get the title screen for the movie says weapons, it has a, for the own weapons, it
has a circle.
And inside the circle is it triangle?
Oh, what could it mean?
Oh, my goodness.
Well, you probably know what we're going because it has to do with magic, all right?

(26:25):
All right, cut the music, cut the music.
What I want from you, all you free-feet losers.
I'm just kidding.
For all of those boy eyes, and as you know, this show stays live because of these supporters
for less than a cost of a cup of coffee a month.
You can unlock the ad free experience, unlock hundreds of monthly bonus episodes just like

(26:47):
today's bonus episode of weapons.
This analysis continues on for close to an hour and a half.
And if you go and sign up at one of the three supporter platforms, you're going to continue
to embark on this journey where we do some heavy duty.
Decoating of the occult symbolism packed into this movie, it's going to change the way you

(27:08):
see the movie.
It's going to change the way you see the world even believe that or not.
We talk about the embracing of the apocalyptic imagery and how it actually conforms to a lot
of the occult formulas for bringing about the end times through the horror Babylon.
Sounds crazy.
I know.
But it's a very clear theory to me that I concocted for you.

(27:31):
So if you want to unlock the full show and do get all those other things, I'm always talking
about the one I recommend to everyone is patreon.com/aluminatiwatcher.

And you're going to be in the chat.
I got a chat room.

(27:51):
Yeah, now you can chat in the comments.
It's a good time.
You connect with the whole audience.
It's a cool comment section in the world by far.
And that's what I always recommend people towards.
And I would also chime in that you might want to go tear to you get the video version of the
show, which I've been putting a ton of effort into these videos.
My goodness, including this one where you can see all the images that I'm talking about

(28:11):
on the screen just makes it easy for you.
So if you go tear to or tear one or three or four three, three or three or four, you get
a very exclusive t-shirt, by the way, but whatever one you get, you're going to unlock the full

And that one, there's no tears.
It's just you get the ad free early access bonus content for years, including the 55 episodes

You can also do annual plans to save money on all three platforms.

(28:58):
I mean, there's a million options here and they're all great options and they're all
less than the cup of coffee, right?
For tier one, tier two, that's like a pumpkin spice latte.
You know, I'm hitting them PSLs right now.
