Scientology
Not a new one but myself and the missus watched a light documentary about John Travolta and we were reminded about how this crock of **** is actually a thing. It remains nuts that it got its fingers into him at such an early point in his career given how plainly obviously invented the whole nonsense is, and how low the number of 'believers' are. The most interesting parts where the brief interview snippets from archives over the years which showed him to be a very quiet natured, intelligent and likeable character who seems very humble and self-aware. That doesn't come across in his films where he usually portrays confident characters and it's interesting to ponder what his career might have been like if it weren't weighed down by this parasitic guff that led him to do things like Battlefield Earth. That the likes of Cruise and Will Smith buy this BS says a lot about the needs of celebrities and also the real intent of scientology.
