Allen Marcus and McGonegle join Conspiracy Cinema for a watch along and discussion of The Keep directed by Michael Mann. In 1941, a group of Nazi's unlock a dark spirit hidden beneath a stone fortress. After the director, Michael Mann, delivered his 3.5 hour film, the studio released a 90 minute version, leaving many to wonder what was left on the cutting room floor.

S.B. Alger returns to Conspiracy Cinema for a discussion on the Shakespeare authorship question posed in Roland Emmerich's 2011 Film, Anonymous. Were the plays and poems of Shakespeare created of natural born genius or of noble birth and resources? How did these plays shape the English language and the colonizing of the United States? What role does the artist play in shaping politics and history? All of these questions and more are still on our minds 400 years later.

Chance Garton and Mario Garza join Conspiracy Cinema for a watch along and discussion of Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey. This directorial and visual effects master class from 1968 influenced every science fiction movie that followed and has spawned many theories about Kubrick's relationship with NASA. On the other side of 2001, this film, packed with astrological symbolism and esoteric meaning, offers new levels of understanding no matter how many times you've seen it.
