Episode 36: Oren Ben-Yosef: How Keanu Reeves Movies Secretly Explore the Demonic & Control⁠

from Exploration Arcanum · host Jason Nelson

In this episode, I speak with teacher and philosopher Oren Ben Yosef about the films of Keanu Reeves, and the deeper questions they raise about freedom and control. Drawing from his forthcoming book Demonology as Devourment Without a Devourer, Ben-Yosef explains how films like The Matrix, Constantine, and John Wick explore the tension between human agency, the structures that try to contain it, and our notion of the demonic.Website: https://orenbenyosef.com/Amazon Pre-Order: https://a.co/d/00PUR9ge6th Books: https://www.collectiveinkbooks.com/6th-books/our-books/demonology-devourment-without-devourerFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/or777enInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/oren.ben.yosef/
