A look at writer/director Mike Flanagan — a master of meaningful horror who uses the genre to explore deeper truths. We talk about his signature style, recurring cast of actors, and why his work feels so much more honest than most of what comes out of Hollywood today.

That leads us straight into our current events segment, because the themes Flanagan digs into — hidden truths, corruption behind the curtain, and the cost of looking away — match exactly what we’re seeing in real life.

Today we connect those dots with two big stories:

• The ongoing Epstein Files coverup (getting more ridiculous by the week)
• The uncomfortable truth behind the H-1B visa system that no politician will admit

➡️ American companies rely on cheaper foreign labor
➡️ Replacing them with American workers would force wages — and prices — way up
➡️ Politicians pretend it’s about “skills shortages,” but the economics tell the real story

Another candid episode of O5O where culture, media, and current events overlap in ways the mainstream never seems to connect.
