One thing I've thought about for a long time but not said....when you list famous actors who grew up in cults, on one of your episodes, they happen to be all women. One significant man actor is Joaquim Phoenix. He and his brother River both grew up in the one with the 'flirty fishing', which practised paedophilia. His brother River, died young and he has survived, and drawn on his experience in the cult, no doubt, to make an excellent depraved, incestuously motivated Emporer in the movie 'the Gladiator.'...a movie that also accurately portrays the pre-Christian world of Rome. And the pall of despair and darkness that pervaded life there.

I just think it might be an encouragement to male readers to have an example of a male in that mix too. Otherwise, keep going. I will subscribe to both of your channels!

Yes, the reason I picked all women was so I could pull the gag of saying "What do all these women have in common.... No, it's not that they were all harassed by Philip Lee... Shame on you for thinking that."

It's hard for me to pass up a gag like that, so please forgive me.

Yes, many men have been raised in cults as well. It's a common experience. Nothing is really that unique about the LR.

Joaquin Phoenix probably drew on his cult experience to play the Joker as well, which I haven't seen, but now that I think about it I probably should.
