Occult Symbolism and Pop Culture with Isaac Weishaupt

Isaac Weishaupt, known online as the Illuminati Watcher, has been podcasting since 2014 and has built up over 760 episodes exploring occult symbolism in movies, music, celebrity culture, and major events. The show’s 4.3-star rating from a massive 3,470 reviewers reflects both its popularity and the polarizing nature of conspiracy-adjacent content. Weishaupt describes the show as rational discussion about the conspiracy of an Illuminati agenda mixed with film analysis and entertainment, and that’s a fair summary. Recent episodes have decoded Super Bowl halftime symbolism, analyzed Olympic opening ceremonies as ritual, and continued a multi-part series on MKULTRA’s Project MONARCH. Episodes range from quick 26-minute breakdowns to extended two-hour deep dives. The production is straightforward—no dramatic sound effects or heavy editing. Weishaupt speaks with conviction and does his homework, though some listeners will find the conspiracy framework a stretch. If you’re fascinated by how occult imagery shows up in mainstream entertainment and want someone who catalogs those connections obsessively, this is your show.
