    23. The WALKING DEAD's Silent Killer!

    The Walking Dead may not be the biggest threat to Rick and his posse. In fact, it may be themselves and the way they handle their guns. I'm almost positive that over time Rick and the others have suffered severe hearing damage, which explains why those walkers have such an easy time sneaking up on them. Fear the Walking Dead. But fear hearing loss even more.

    18. The Breaking Bad Ending's HIDDEN Truth

    Spoiler alert! Because today I'm forever changing the way that you look at the final scene of one of the greatest television shows of all time - Breaking Bad.

    16. The Matrix has NO ESCAPE

    The Red Pill or the Blue Pill? It's one of cinema's most famous choices. But do the differently-colored pills from the Matrix actually do anything...well different? What if the "real world" and Zion are actually constructs of the Machines? Get ready to have your mind blown, Morpheus, because there is no getting out of The Matrix!

  10. Film Theory S2015 E15 still E15

    15. Marvel's Ant-Man Could KILL Us All!

    Marvel's newest addition to its cinematic universe, Ant-Man, hides a disturbing secret in its physics.

I think we've just uncovered the truth that Ant-Man is in fact Marvel's deadliest hero!

    14. Neo ISN'T The One in The Matrix Trilogy

    Think you know the Matrix? Weren't even born when the first Matrix movie came out? Either way, you probably know this world-is-a-computer-simulation sci-fi series by its slo-mo bullets, screens full of green text, and a whole lot of Keanu Reeves making his "serious face." What you might NOT know about the Matrix is that the main character, Neo, is not actually the savior of the world and acts is actually just a pawn throughout the entire series meant to throw off you and almost everyone else in the movie. But that begs the question: If Neo isn't the ONE, who IS?

    13. Can a Doctor Who Doctor ACTUALLY EXIST? (pt. 2, Time Travel)

    Grab your Sonic Screwdriver and be on the lookout for Daleks because we're out to see whether a time-hopping Doctor a la Doctor Who would be a physical possibility...or at the very least, whether a human could fit the bill and become a Timelord. There's A LOT to cover, from biology to technology to, you know, TIME HOPPING, so it'll have to be done in chunks. This time, we're tackling TIME TRAVEL. Is it feasible in the realm of physics to move FORWARD through time? And how about back? That one takes us into the realm of THE MOST COMPLICATED CONCEPTS we've ever covered on the Theorist channels...

    12. Is Hitman's Bulletproof Skin POSSIBLE?

    Hitman: Agent 47 is the new movie adaptation of the stealth-and-cover video game...and you all know how much I love movies based on video games!

We'll be looking at the latest in high-tech armor and figuring out whether it's actually possible to create bullet-proof skin.

    11. What IS the Dragon Ball Z Kamehameha Wave?

    This Dragon Ball Z theory has been one one of the most requested in the history of BOTH the Game Theorists and Film Theorists and now it's finally HERE! the Kamehameha Wave is the most iconic piece of DBZ lore out there and it took some serious science to explain how we could bring this incredible power out of the TV series and into the real world! And finally, a big thanks to ALL the Theorists who requested this one--meeting your challenge on this one was super tough, but it's become one of my favorite in the series!

  15. Film Theory S2015 E10 still E10

    10. Beauty and the Beast's OVERLOOKED Tragedy

    For years, we've always thought that the Beast in Beauty and the Beast was made into a monster so he could learn a lesson about respecting others and loving people for what's on the inside...but we've been wrong the whole time! Dissecting the film's lore, it becomes clear that the Beast isn't the evil prince he was made out to be, but actually just a little boy who was deceived at a time in his life when he was the most vulnerable. Fans of Beauty and the Beast have loved this story for so long...but have overlooked ONE crucial plot detail!

    9. The Science of Seinfeld's Deadly Envelopes

    Seinfeld...famously, it's the show about NOTHING. And yet, for it being about nothing, there are SO MANY memorable moments throughout the show's nine seasons, from the Soup Nazi to The Contest. And yet, one of the most enduring storylines was the infamous "Death by Envelope," where Seinfeld's best friend George Costanza's fiancee keels over after licking too many envelopes. But could that ACTUALLY happen? With Seinfeld just released on Hulu and Jason Alexander revealing the TRUE reason behind Susan's death on Howard Stern, now seems as good a time as any to examine this sitcom staple!

    8. Fifty Shades of Grey Cult Theory

    Millions of women fell in love with Christian Grey, including the young Anastasia Steele. But was it his charisma that won her over, or deliberate psychological manipulation? Was it his rock hard abs she was attracted to or his cold, calculating psychological abuse? Throughout 50 Shades of Grey, Christian uses a very specific set of steps to brainwash Anastasia into loving him…the same steps that cults use to indoctrinate new members. Film Theory uncovers the dark side of 50 Shades of Grey…

    7. The Game of Thrones Jorah Theory

    The world of Westeros has a problem...and that problem is ice zombies. Whitewalkers! The dead have risen again, creating an army that threatens the safety of the realm. So who will be the hero to save them? Game of Thrones lore has a prophesy of the Prince that was Promised, but who will that Prince be? There are a few good candidates, but today we're looking at the evidence to conclude who the TRUE hero of Westeros will be!

Well, here's what you're going to need to know...We're breaking down the stats behind what it takes to be an Academy Award Best Actor and Best Actress winner, from trends in age, role, to even salary bump. So take heed...and Leo, this one's for you :)

    5. Are Video Games the FUTURE of Movies?

    So, as we saw on Game Theory (presumably), videos games may be better off just staying video games. No need to transition to the big screen of films. BUT is the reverse true? Is the future of movies in becoming more like video games? And more importantly, where does the distinction exist? When does a movie end and a game begin? Well get ready, because the future of entertainment is unlike ANYTHING we've yet experienced!

  21. Film Theory S2015 E4 still E4

    4. Oscars Hacking pt. 1, How to Win an Academy Award for Best Picture

  22. Film Theory S2015 E3 still E3

    3. Jon Snow is THE KEY to Game of Thrones

    Jon Snow may know nothing, but WE certainly know a lot about him. Eddard Stark's bastard son is clearly one of the main heroes of Game of Thrones, but much of his backstory is shrouded in mystery. Popular fan theories about Game of Thrones have postulated that R + L = J, but what does that mean exactly? Is there the evidence to support it? And most importantly of all, what does that mean to the OVERALL STORY of the Game of Thrones series? How is Jon Snow the KEY to the Song of Ice and Fire?

  23. Film Theory S2015 E2 still E2

    2. Can a Doctor Who Doctor ACTUALLY EXIST?

    Grab your Sonic Screwdriver and be on the lookout for Daleks because we're out to see whether a time-hopping Doctor a la Doctor Who would be a physical possibility...or at the very least, whether a human could fit the bill and become a Timelord. There's A LOT to cover, from biology to technology to, you know, TIME HOPPING, so it'll have to be done in chunks. This time, we're taking a crack at Doctor Who's BIOLOGY. The Doctor has an interesting set of characteristics, but could a human match those? The answers will surprise you!

  24. Film Theory S2015 E1 still E1

    1. Harry Potter ISN'T The Chosen One?

    For years, we all believed that Harry Potter was the Chosen One, the one destined to save the wizarding world from Lord Voldemort, He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named. BUT, have we been duped? Is it possible that our lightning-bolted boy wonder isn't as special as we thought? What is there was ANOTHER Chosen One? What if it all boiled down to a coin flip? Then Harry Potter would just be an average kid. Maybe there's a universe out there where Harry should be THANKING Lord Voldemort...but I'll leave that to you to judge!

  26. E12

    12. Fullmetal Alchemist's FATAL Miscalculation

    7. Why Pewdiepie's Fiverr Joke Backfired

    This is one I wanted to cover 1) because many of you were requesting my thoughts and 2) because I think Pewdiepie's situation can teach us all a lot of things about the nature of comedy and how comedy can be a force for good in the world. And let me reiterate it here, since I'm sure people will jump to conclusions prematurely without watching the video: I support Pewdiepie. I'm a fan of his. I respect and enjoy his work. I agree with his stance on the media and am constantly infuriated by how they manipulate facts and events to generate headlines with no thought or concern for the impact they're having on people. That said, I do think that Pewdipie could have made his "satire" on Fiverr more clear and targeted, thus avoiding this whole mess. This video is just meant to discuss what went wrong and what could be improved in the future!

    Gotham is full of things that can kill you––the Joker, Penguin, dirty cops, poor infrastructure––You name it! But there’s also the sort of danger with which we’re all familiar, like Disease.

    You MUST resist the urge to smile, Loyal Theorist! Otherwise, the Smile Monster might getcha’. . . You see, the monster from the 2022 movie, Smile, transfers from person to person via - you guessed it - a SMILE. So how do you SURVIVE such a creature? And can it be defeated? Watch to find out!

    Since my last theory on The Mandela Catalogue A LOT has happened in this universe! The series creator, Alex Kister, uploaded two new volumes, and there is SO MUCH LORE to dissect. Who is the Intruder? What are the Alternates? And what’s up with that new Plushie?! We’ve got a lot of secrets to uncover in The Mandela Catalogue, Loyal Theorists, so let’s get cracking!

    UH OH, Theorists! ‪@jacksepticeye‬ is trapped in project IRIS and he may NEVER escape! We analyzed every second of his analog horror live stream to find the secret behind the three biggest mysteries: What’s IRIS up to? How do Chase and Anti play into this? And who on earth is Echo?! Hopefully WTCHR isn’t spying as I make these answers public. . .

    47. Who’s REALLY in Control?! (DHMIS)

    While we’re waiting on Don’t Hug Me I’m Scared season 2, I’m cranking out the THEORIES! In the last DHMIS video I uncovered the TRUTH about Yellow Guy. Spoiler alert: he’s actually dead! But I skipped over one unsolved mystery. . . the strange symbols on the mysterious book. There’s something SUPER weird about it, so I invited ‪@RemGames‬ to help me solve the mystery. Let’s figure this out once and for all!

    46. Sonic is Dying... of HUNGER! (Sonic The Hedgehog)

    Okay Theorists, I have to ask: how can Sonic keep his super speed and not DIE?! Seriously, he should be STARVING! Based on his insane running exercise, one chili hot dog would NOT be enough to keep him alive. So I grabbed my calculator to solve the exact number of hot dogs Sonic needs to keep his super speed.

    45. Twitter's Toxic Relationship With Movies

    Theorists, have you heard of Yellowstone? No? Well, you are not alone. Yet it is apparently one of the most popular shows right now. How is that possible? Enter the rollercoaster of a platform that is Twitter. Yes, Twitter. I have a hunch that it may have a hold on your media... and your MIND! Don't believe me? Just ask Avatar 2...

    44. Rick's REVENGE? (Rick and Morty Season 6)

    Fellow Theorists, we are midway through season 6 of Rick and Morty and to say that it has been HEAVY would be an understatement. To give you all a break from that, today I’m talking about the excruciating inner turmoil that Rick lives in and how his showdown with Rick Prime might just change everything we know about him as a person. Yeah sorry, no break from the melodrama here friends. Ready your emotions and portal on in!

  8. Film Theory S2022 E43 still E43

    43. They Missed the Point (Try Guys Drama)

    Theorists, we need to talk about ‪@tryguys‬ situation and by that I mean the mainstream media coverage of it. See, I think the Try Guys handled the situation with professionalism. You know who didn't? The media making fun of them for being YouTubers. That SNL skit? Not a good look. So, let's talk about all of it.

  10. Film Theory S2022 E41 still E41

    41. You Are Being Erased...

    Theorist, technology may be TOO good right now. For horror, I mean. Look at the rise of analog horror series lately to see what I mean. Most use outdated technology to tell their tales of horror. Why? Because today's tech makes it too easy. What do I mean? Well, sit back and prepare to be SCARED for the future of horror.

    40. Um actually, you CAN simply walk into Mordor but it'll take a while (Lord of the Rings)

    With Rings of Power in full swing, I felt the need to revisit the world of Middle Earth myself... for the memes. Most of you have probably seen the Boromir meme that reads "One does not simply... [insert thing here]." The original quote finishes, "walk into Mordor." But... that is exactly what Frodo and Sam do. So, was Boromir just completely wrong or should the journey have killed the Hobbits? Let's find out!

    39. Dora is CURSED! (Dora The Explorer)

    37. One Punch Man Must Be STOPPED!

    It has been a hot second since I talked about anything anime. What better way to dive back in than with one of my favorites, One Punch Man? Yes, today we are talking about good ole Saitama himself. Well, maybe not so good. No, this is not a "the hero is actually the villain" theory. It's a little more nuanced than that. You see, Saitama IS doing bad things... just not on purpose. What do I mean? Let's discuss!

    36. Rick REBORN? (Rick and Morty Season 6)

    It's Rick and Morty season again, Loyal Theorists! As we head into season 6, it's time to see where the series is headed this time and, well... things are looking kind of grim. We start out with the whole family dealing with past traumas and hopping universes to fill the spots of their dead counterparts. Not exactly light stuff. Except, I think there may still be hope for a happy ending... or as much of one as we can expect from Rick Sanchez. Grab your portal gun and let's dive in!

    35. Does This Backrooms Fan Theory Solve EVERYTHING?

    Theorists, we are diving into The Backrooms again and this time we are going all the way... to Egypt! Yes, you read that right! I think there may be some ancient secrets hiding in the maze of yellow walls. I'm determined to see if this theory has a solid foundation and if it can stand the test of time like the pyramids. Let's go!

  17. Film Theory S2022 E34 still E34

    34. Someone PLEASE Help Elmo!

    Do you remember when the battle of the century stormed every social media post? That's right, today I'm diving into the mental battle between Elmo and Rocco... and Zoe.

    33. This Is The Scariest YouTube Channel (Boisvert)

    You know I am always looking for a new analog horror series to watch and analyze. I think I may have stumbled upon the SCARIEST one yet! Welcome, Theorists, to _Boisvert. This story is filled with glitches, otherworldly figures, and a terrifying yet relatable theme. Depression. I think this horror series may just be trying to give us the one thing we all need, hope.

    32. Will Eleven DIE? (Stranger Things Season 5 Predictions)

    Theorists, I have been WAITING for the right time to talk about Stranger Things and well... I guess that time is now.

    Theorists, the last time I covered Paw Patrol I mentioned that Ryder may be in on the constant cycle of Paw Patrol members - if you know what I mean. Today we are going one step further. I think Ryder is the big bad of the entire series. That's right, the dog's trusted human is actually the VILLAIN! Let's dive in!

    30. Ant Man Will DIE! (Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania)

    Theorists, now that Comic Con happened and we got a peek into the newly expanded plans for the MCU, I think it's time for a little theory I've been kicking around. An... Ant-Man sized theory you might say. You see, I think I know what the big event of Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania is going to be. We already know that Kang is going to show up, so it has to be some thing BIG. I think our favorite multi-sized hero is going to DIE!

  22. Film Theory S2022 E29 still E29

    29. Uncovering Top Gun's HIDDEN Enemy! (Top Gun Maverick)

    Top Gun Maverick was a MUCH better movie than I anticipated. So much so that I felt I needed to do a theory on it. What are we theorizing about? The enemy of our protagonists. You see, they never actually TELL US who they are fighting. So, I'm going to figure it out for myself! Get ready to SOAR into some secrets!

    26. Did Thor's Post Credit Scene Just Set Up [SPOILER]?! (Thor Love and Thunder)

    Theorists, the installment in the MCU is out and we NEED to talk about it! I think this movie is setting up the next BIG EVENT in the Marvel Cinematic Universe... the second Civil War. If you are familiar with the comics, you may see where I am headed with this. From the events happening in Ms. Marvel, the new Captain Marvel film coming out soon, and the events of Thor Love and Thunder - there is a LOT to talk about!

    25. The Empire's Biggest MISTAKE! (Star Wars)

    Theorists, we have not covered Star Wars in a WHILE. With the release of the Obi-Wan mini-series on Disney+,I knew it was time. Today, I want to figure out why the Empire REALLY lost the war against the Jedi and Rebellion. No, it's not the other side having moral high ground and Disney always having the good guys win. It's their ships. They SUCK!

    22. Is Morbius So BAD You Can SUE?

    Theorists, it's Morbin time! I know, I know. That meme is super old now, but it was part of what inspired me to make this theory in a way. Well, the Morbin meme at least meant I needed to take a second look at Morbius. Oh boy, did I take a second look. Specifically, I watched the trailer again and realized that the movie I was advertised was NOT the movie I saw. At ALL!. Is that even LEGAL? Think of this as the sister episode to our episode over on game theory about mobile game ads.

    By the end of Encanto, we see Dolores united with her prince charming - or at least that is what it seems like from the outside. Theorists, when watching Encanto for the 100th time, my mind started thinking a little too hard about the whole Madrigal family and their magical, secluded town. Let's just say MAYBE they should hold off on the wedding for a while...

    19. 5 Post-Multiverse of Madness Theories (Doctor Strange)

    53. The Disney Theory (Part 2)

    Theorists, today we're continuing down the rabbit hole of The Disney Theory, connecting all of the movies in the Disney animated universe (similar to Jon Negroni and The SuperCarlinBrothers Pixar Theory). To catch you up, last time we connected the early days of Disney with Frozen, Mulan, and Moana. And today we're continuing through the future of Disney where animals take over the earth! How do Zootopia, Lilo and Stitch, Tarzan, and the rest of the movies connect? Let's find out...

    Buddy the Elf saved Christmas! And while it seems like the holiday classic got tied up with a perfect bow, we're not so sure. You see, Jolly Old St. Nick ain't so jolly anymore.

Or, they're singing along to "Popular" or "Defying Gravity," at the very least. Now, we know from The Wizard of Oz that Elphaba is the Wicked Witch of the West. But is she ACTUALLY wicked? And what about her "bestie" Glinda? Is she actually evil? Let's analyze...

Film Theory proudly presents... The Disney Theory!
