James Angleton and the Wilderness of Mirrors
Added 2021-08-16 13:29:16 +0000 UTCTonight we look at the life and times of James Angleton. We examine his obsession with the so-called Monster Plot, and his mysterious role in the aftermath of a high-profile 1964 murder. It's a moody outing tonight, friends, as we navigate an underworld of poetry, spook intrigue, Cold War paranoia, and the melancholy of the deep state.

2021-08-20 08:29:52 +0000 UTCThat scene alone is worth the Youtube.
2021-08-19 12:32:10 +0000 UTCHaha, settle in mate. It’s a LONG movie. Also note that that scene was deleted from the original release.

2021-08-17 23:12:00 +0000 UTCAngleton also inspired the fictional/composite representation of Richard Helms in Oliver Stone’s Nixon (Director’s Cut). In the film, and historically, it’s Richard Helms, but he’s depicted in the film as a weird pervert who has an office full of orchids.

2021-08-17 23:10:29 +0000 UTCExcellent ep as always
2021-08-17 18:02:59 +0000 UTCI can't fathom it...feels like it's deliberately ambiguous tho, another dangling thread designed to drive you crazy.

2021-08-17 15:28:12 +0000 UTCFuck dude, killer ep
2021-08-17 02:57:05 +0000 UTCHow do you interpret the sedan? My impression was that the mechanic was originally supposed to be the scapegoat, but since he witnessed and reported the murder, they had to find another one quick. But it still doesn't seem to quite add up

2021-08-16 22:19:09 +0000 UTCthis bumps; extremely grateful that your show covers less well-known stuff that other folk don’t really get into but is also materially grounded and not off-the-wall esoteric. a rare and bountiful middle-ground
