Montauk: The Conspiracy Theory That Inspired Better Fiction

  • Summary

  • Let's explore the bizarre world of the Montauk Project, where recovered memories meet Cold War paranoia to create one of America's wildest conspiracy theories. We explore how a decommissioned military base somehow became ground zero for alleged government experiments in mind control, time travel, and alien contact. We'll examine their "recovered memories" spawned an entire conspiracy industry, and trace the project's influence on pop culture from The X-Men to Stranger Things. And for no reason a disturbing tangent about lab-grown brains that will haunt your dreams.
