Every December, a loud minority swear they’re being hunted by carollers, coffee cups, and secular toddlers armed with “Happy Holidays.” So is the War on Christmas real, or just a profitable bit of political theatre? We drag the opportunistic pundits, the purity-culture merchants, and the mall Santas who think they’re frontline soldiers—because this…

Turns out you don’t need a seminary degree, holy water, or even basic mental health literacy to perform an exorcism — you just need confidence, cash flow, and a total disregard for the DSM-5. While Catholic exorcisms lean theatrical and ritualistic, the Protestant version goes full freelancer energy: zero oversight, no training, and absolutely no r…

Some call it “spiritual warfare.” We call it centuries of trauma reenactments performed by bad cosplayers with holy water. The catholic church has been staging exorcisms since 1614 — turning mental illness, grief, and hysteria into holy horror shows for the masses. In this episode, we dig into the church’s obsession with exorcism, from Emma Schmidt…

Remember when priests became celebrities, horror became religion, and America decided to collectively believe Satan was real? Yeah—that was The Exorcist’s fault. Join us as we dig into the 1940s “possession” hoax that inspired the film, the novelist who sold it as truth, and the church that cashed in on the chaos. This is how one movie turned fear …

Back before the Misfits shirt was a cult wardrobe staple, and long before Metallica covered them, the Misfits were a scrappy New Jersey punk gang chasing horror-movie dreams— led by a frontman who thought he was Elvis possessed by Satan. In this episode of Satan Is My Superhero, we dive into the Danzig era (1977–83)—the fights, the graves, the stic…

This week we drag the Jezebel stereotype and crazy christian conspiracies through the fiery pits of satire! From Rihanna to Katy Perry, pop divas apparently summon demons with every sequined costume, and the Super Bowl halftime show is “ground zero” for sexist Satanic panic.

What do Satan, a horny goat god, and lettuce soaked in semen have in common? They were all part of the ancient blueprint for the devil we know today.

From Hades and Pan to Set and Apep, we explore …

Who invented Satan? If you said "the Bible," think again nerds!

What are the Seven Seals in the Book of Revelation, and why does every end times movie obsess over them? In this episode, we tear into Revelation Chapter 5—where YHWH clutches an unreadable book, a slain lamb shows up with seven horns and seven eyes, and a countless horde of angels simps hard for the apocalypse. Also featuring: thoughts and prayers…

In this episode we broaden our search for Satan in Science Fiction. In the previous episodes in this series, we looked for him in the Christ Myth.

In this episode, we once again return to the Christ myth, in our search for the devil in Science Fiction with The Matrix. The Christ Myth is usually the story of a chosen one, a demi god, not exactly god but more than human with supernatural powers coming to rescue us all from evil. I would argue, Matrix is the most blatant and obvious of our Chris…
