An oddly hypnotic moment unfolds in this Brion Gysin cut-up featuring William S. Burroughs, which I saw last week at the Musée d’Art Moderne de Paris. A simple back-and-forth becomes a playful test of attention, persistence, and picture-gazing, with repeated greetings and affirmations giving the...

-
Insane Films – 2026-05-05 – Red Carpet, Red Alert
This video is a fiery political takedown that reframes a glamorous fashion spectacle as a symbol of elite influence and democratic decline, arguing that media power, billionaire patronage, and celebrity participation are all intertwined in normalizing dangerous politics. It’s confrontational,...

Insane Films – 2026-04-04 – Plunge Drama, Action Mode

-
Insane Films – 2026-04-03 – Wig, Pressure, Power
In a raw, unfiltered monologue that blends self-deprecating humor with sharp political commentary, the speaker argues that a hardline no-aid stance on Israel may be more about progressive pressure than policy conviction. The video frames U.S. military support not as charity, but as leverage for...

It’s telling.

Insane Films – 2026-04-02 – Valerie Cherish on Healthcare
Okay, can we roll? Health care is more expensive, and I don’t need to see that. Since the 1970s, U.S. health care went from about 7% of GDP to roughly 18%, and I do not need to see that. The U.S. spends around twice as much per person as many European countries, and I don’t need to see that. Same...

-
Insane Films – 2026-03-19 – Hormuz Blame Game
In this fiery monologue, a bombastic leader insists he’s being scapegoated for a global chokepoint crisis, portraying himself as a loyal ally betrayed by the very coalition he expected to rescue him. As he deflects responsibility and names foreign figures as villains, the rant spirals into a...
-

Insane Films – 2026-03-17 – Ambition Bigger Than Cuba

Insane Films – 2026-03-15 – Re-elect Sara Feigenholtz

Insane Films – 2026-03-06 – Patriotism for Profit
This biting political parody follows a boastful strongman who frames national decline as personal success, turning corruption, conflict, and grift into a victory lap. With escalating absurdity and dark humor, the video exposes how propaganda can rebrand self-preservation as leadership—and why…
more -
Insane Films – 2026-03-05 – Attention Beats Policy
A sharp political monologue cuts through the outrage cycle and challenges viewers to stop scoring vibes and start stress-testing real-world execution: what can actually be signed, funded, defended, and implemented fast. It reframes modern campaign theater as an attention economy game, then gives…
more -
Insane Films – 2026-03-04 – Pabloosh Economics

Insane Films 2026-03-01 – It’s Madge Found Political Pattern Infuriating

Insane Films 2026-03-01 – Remember Unlike Every Other Modern Country
And remember, unlike every other modern country, including yours, we don’t have universal health care. Health care is not a right in the United States because in America, civil rights grow out of property rights, whereas in Europe and the UK, they grow out of the concept of human dignity. And you...

Lusting for Madge Weinstein
This video got me a one week suspension from YouTube, 11 years after I posted it in 2010. Xdope made it. Standards are retroactive apparently. Youtube is garbage, which is why i’m migrating back here, where I own my own shit.
