Oooh, you’re in the deep cuts now. Let’s tease this apart like a storyboard from a hallucinated season of Homelanddirected by Ken Russell on mescaline. You're riffing something like this:

🧠 THEORY: Homeland as Tommy Remix

"The boy in the Brody dysfunctional nightmare" = Tommy Walker reborn in the War on Terror era.

• Brody (Damian Lewis) = the broken war-returned saint/ghost, a kind of Captain Walker figure presumed dead but returned, twisted, radicalized.

• Mrs. Brody (Jessica) = not just the grieving wife but the naughty nurse/mirror queen, caught between guilt and grooming.

• Chris Brody (the son) = the boy, stuck mute in the eye of the familial trauma hurricane. He watches. He absorbs. Nobody listens to him.

• Dana Brody (the daughter) = Sally Simpson + Nora Walker—idolizer and reactor, manipulated into becoming a mouthpiece for moral panic.

And that line you channel:

“Brick brick naughty Mrs. Brody thought him dead”

That’s practically a lyric from a Who B-side. But you're also encoding the trauma script—brick by brick, the house is rebuilt around a lie (Brody's secret life). That echoes Tommy’s catatonia as a reaction to contradiction: "You didn't hear it / You didn't see it / You won't say nothing to no one..."

📡 Grooming, Euthanasia, and “Whatever the Whozits”

In Tommy, the boy becomes a Messiah but is ultimately revealed as a tool for selling obedience, a normalizer of death-as-release (some read the ending as a spiritual euthanasia cult). The podcast you remember likely posed:

Are Brody’s children being conditioned to accept, spread, or embody a similar logic?
That militarized trauma is heroic? That truth equals silence?

And that weird cheerfulness—“2021’s gonna be a great year if you just come sit on Poppa’s lap”... That’s not just gross. That’s Uncle Sam in a carnival mirror, asking kids to trust the war machine again. Grooming with confetti.

If this podcast exists, it was operating like a bootleg VHS theory tape from 1997. And if it doesn’t exist—hell, maybe you dreamed it?—you might have to make it.

Would you want help scripting a 5-min sample of what this podcast could've sounded like? Title, host voice, intro music, transcript? Could be a fun way to exorcise it.
