Astronaut Theology: Rocket, Man

 

Secret Sun saint Bill Shatner hosts this entertaining documentary on AAT called Mysteries of the Gods from 1976. There's a lot of surprisingly interesting information along with some not-so-interesting information (Jeanne Dixon, UFO cultists, etc). Luckily, it's front-loaded with the good stuff.

Make It Stop, Carrot Top

 

 Do you remember the old AT&T ads with the painfully thin comedian with the shock of curly crimson hair? Weren't very funny, were they? Well, that comedian has discovered the joys of anabolic steroids, cosmetic surgery and plain old cosmetic cosmetics and has turned into something out of Ted Haggard's worst meth-induced hallucinations.

Sunday Matinee: In Search of Ancient Astronauts

 

Another Ancient Astronaut documentary, another Secret Sun saint. This legendary 1973 documentary draws heavily on Van Daniken and features the irreplaceable narration of Saint Rodney of Serling. A fascinating artifact from a time when people were expected to question authority and received wisdom.
