UFC commentator Joe Rogan recently welcomed historian Rebecca Lemov in episode #2322 of his podcast. Rogan started a conversation about the Netflix documentary ‘Wild Wild Country’ and Lemov slammed it for glossing over the cult of Osho.
Lemov asserted that the followers of Osho used to carry weapons with them, and that the cult leader suffered from cocaine addiction. She said:
“The documentary was so successful, I think for that very reason it actually perpetuates the allure of that of Osho and that cult because their outfits look kind of cool and the colors are beautiful and the swirling cavorting dances. My husband grew up in the Bay Area and he was saying, as a kid he would run into members of that cult. He said what you don’t see in the documentary and he blames the documentary for not showing this sufficiently is they were frequently armed.
“So on the side where you’re not seeing it they’re holding you know automatic weapons and things like they really in a way they fell into the spell of the cult in the documentary a bit.”
“He was really much more of a cocaine adept or enthusiast than people also recognize. I think he gets off a little easy in that documentary as well, partly because they’re interviewing people who are still to some extent devoted.”
