Alex Jones makes alot of movie references during his show always comparing the news that he covers to "Terminator, Blade Runner, Star Wars, and saying that "this is just like a movie". Not to mention that he even uses the imperial death march as his intro music.
And then just take a look at some infowars videos, and how so many of them have that same action/sci fi theme going on with the graphics and music. This might be a stretch but sometimes I get the feeling that he's trying to make people feel like they're in a movie.
Just think about the recurring themes in alot of action/sci-fi movies; like taking place in a dystopian future just as Alex is always predicting an apocalypse. Or how alot of them center around a character who is privy to some sort of knowledge or power while everyone else is in denial, like Sarah Connor knowing about Skynet, or Luke Skywalker and the force.
This also seems to resonate with his audience in a way, if you have ever watched some of the YouTube Channels of his followers, you'll see what I mean.
I wonder if this is just Alex Jones' way of exploiting the his follower's inability to distinguish fantasy from reality, thus making them feel as if they're privy to some sort of arcane knowledge while the rest of the world is in denal of the dystopian future that lies ahead.
