Happy Monday, friends, and welcome back to the Mark Claire show.

Today we're going to be doing something I've been looking forward to doing ever since I branched off from Lions of Liberty.

Started this show, which allows me to go into areas beyond politics, do some different stuff, and

frankly, just do stuff I want to do.

And in this case, this is going to be the first in a series I am calling Cracking Kubrick,

where we were looking at the hidden meanings, the esoteric and occult symbolism in the films

of Stanley Kubrick.

And of course, when I dreamed up this idea, I've been fascinated by Stanley Kubrick and his films since I was at least a young teen, maybe earlier, before I even understood a lot of the meaning and esoteric nature of things. But of course, the first person I thought of is who you're going to hear talk about this with me today. That is, of course, the great Jay Dyer. Before we get to that conversation, I got to remind you, you know, normally I would hold

the coffee up.

I am holding it up for video viewers, but it's empty.

It's empty. Why? You can even see the coffee residues. I want you to look. If you're not watching on video platforms and you want some evidence, go subscribe on YouTube if you like. in fact, I ask you to even if you don't want to watch there because we're on the mission to get to a thousand subs so we can do more with YouTube. But of course, great to support all the various other platforms because not every episode will be on YouTube. Because just like last week, last week's my conversation with Ole Damagard, not on YouTube for what I think would be obvious reasons. So head over to BitShoot, Odyssey, what else? Rumble. There's all sorts of places you can find and subscribe to the show off YouTube as well. But I want you to head over and do something else while you're browsing the internet. I want you to head to fox and sons.com, F-O-X, the letter ns-O-N-S-O-N-S-com, even if you don't drink coffee. I don't know how you survive, not drinking coffee, because I got to start my day with it. But if you don't, I bet you have a friend, a loved one, something like that. And if you like this show, all I ask is you to do one thing for me. Actually, I have a lot of things that I want to ask you to do iTunes review, become a premium subscriber, yada, yad. I know. But right now, I'm asking you to do one thing. Head over to foxinsons.com and get yourself a bag. I'm going to get you 18% off just for trying it once. Use discount code MCS, the letter M, the letter C, the letter S. Think Mark Claire's show. Use that discount code. Get yourself 18% off the show. Help a sponsor of the show. Help my show. Help yourself. Help a friend or loved one. If they're in need of some excellent, fresh, incredibly sourced. Incredibly sourced? I just made that up. But they are sourced and they are incredible. So there you go. Incredibly sourced coffee beans. I think ethically sourced is probably the phrase we're supposed to use. I'm going to say incredibly

sourced because Stephen Fox does an incredible job with this business, which he also started

to help teach his sons about entrepreneurship. So I think it's just a beautiful thing all around.

Head over to fox and sons.com. Use discount code MCS for 18% off your order.

That being said, it is time now for my breakdown of 2001 A Space Odyssey with Jay Dyer.

My guest today is an author, comedian, TV host, and most pertinent to our discussion today,

he is the author of the book's esoteric Hollywood in which he analyzes the esoteric and occult meaning behind popular cinema. I'm very pleased to welcome Jay Dyer. Jay, welcome to my show. So do, glad to be back. We had a good chat last time, so I'm glad to do a film analysis. I think last time we were talking more philosophical, religious, geopolitical topics. So this is a nice change of pace. I haven't done a movie breakdown with somebody else in a long time. Yeah, back on, that was back on Lions Liberty. And we were kind of talking about, you know, some politics, some philosophy, the, the machinations of the elite and stuff like that. And that's kind of why I wanted to do, well, an episode like this, breaking down, we're going to be breaking down 2001 of Space Odyssey today, which is, it is, I can say, I think at this point I can safely say it is my favorite movie of all time, although I'm sure you've probably gone through similar stuff. It kind of hits a little bit differently now than it did when, say, I was 15 years old, and I'm just kind of blown away by how cool it looks without, you know, thinking about the deeper meaning behind it.

Before we dive right into that, though, just for people that might not be new to you, for people that might not have seen our discussion last year on Lions, Liberty, maybe you can just give a little bit of background on yourself as it pertains to your interest in film and how you got into sort of dissecting film and looking into the esoteric meanings and all that.

Yeah, I name is Jay Dyer. I do a lot of dog paintings, as you can

see. Oh, that's lovely. I take dogs and then I stuff them and I put them in poses and paint them.

So it's pretty much all I do. No, I's pretty much all I do no I do a lot of film

analysis I do a lot of geopolitical analysis I do a lot of breakdowns of what's really going on in my
