The Movie That Completely Exposed Hollywood

Is Late Night with the Devil just a clever horror film, or is it a deeper commentary on the entertainment industry? In this episode, we break down the fascinating symbolism and real-world inspirations behind the hit indie movie.

We also examine the historical roots of the organizations and symbols featured in the movie, from the historical Gnostic origins of "Abraxas" to the influence of exclusive retreats like the Bohemian Grove.
