## Resource

A couple preview clips from our recent Patreon-exclusive in-depth analysis of Ridley Scott's 1985 film Legend. The full-length discussion continues our research into 1980s MK-fantasy films, with Brett previously having offered comprehensive looks at Labyrinth and Return to Oz here on the Patreon and us having discussed the animated LOTR films and The Last Unicorn with Carrie Olaje on the main feed. In the full episode we talk about Ridley's career and the ultra-sus Scott family, the film's occult metaphysics, revelation of the method, programming tropes, and "marriage to Satan" theme. Thomas also discusses the thematic relevance of Robert Eggers' The Witch and Scott's later movies Prometheus and Alien: Covenant. https://www.patreon.com/PsyopCinema If you enjoy Psyop Cinema, check out the Decoding Culture Foundation and Cultural Engineering Studies magazine - https://decoding-culture.com/print-copies/ - https://decoding-culture.com/publication/ - https://decoding-culture.com/ https://twitter.com/CinemaPsyop https://psyopcinema.com/ https://linktr.ee/psyopcinema thomas-psyopcinema@protonmail.com brett-psyopcinema@protonmail.com
