- The ULTIMATE Guide to Predicting Oscar WinnersE1
The ULTIMATE Guide to Predicting Oscar WinnersSo last year I helped Leonardo Dicaprio win Best Actor...you're welcome buddy! This year, I'm focusing on someone more important -- YOU GUYS! Today, I'm determined to give you the PERFECT strategy for predicting the Oscars. Because every office has an Academy Award pool, and it's my job to win you some easy cash. So what's the secret -- watching the Golden Globes (which are tonight, btw) and the SAG awards? Not quite. Watch the Golden Globes to laugh at the antics of the drunk celebrities, but when it comes down to it, your strategy should be a bit more sophisticated. Don't worry -- I got you covered! - Poppy's Hidden Conspiracy EXPOSED!E3
Poppy's Hidden Conspiracy EXPOSED!Today we welcome another member into the hallowed halls of weird YouTube channels that will haunt your dreams - here's POPPY! This innocent, youthful popstar's videos are a bit more than they appear. But what sinister force is actually pulling the strings behind Poppy's messages? - You'll DIE Before This Bee Movie Meme!E5
You'll DIE Before This Bee Movie Meme!When The Bee Movie and We Are Number One memes exploded on YouTube last year, the Internet proved once and for all how insanely meta it's willing to get for the sake of a great Meme. No one took this farther than the minds of Reddit and Dank Memes, who created the most earth-shattering meme of Meme History. In this episode, I dive into the Ultimate Bee Movie Meme, the one that will outlast us all! - Creator of The Walking Dead PROVES ME WRONG!E8
Creator of The Walking Dead PROVES ME WRONG!I've been watching THE WALKING DEAD for a while now, and I have to ask: How realistic is it that our beloved protagonists run into so many Violent Maniacs so consistently? It turns out that it's pretty darn realistic. In this episode, I explain why! ALSO: I Interview the show's CREATOR, ROBERT KIRKMAN, who offers Concrete Answers about characters and Future plot points! - The Cars in The Cars Movie AREN'T CARS!E9
The Cars in The Cars Movie AREN'T CARS!Consider the world of Cars - a world populated by living, breathing, thinking cars, surrounded by evidence of a human society; but with out any actual humans. There are certain theories that posit these Cars are AI and are all that are left after humans left our world behind. But certain things just don't seem to fit. So if they aren't AI then what are they? Prepare to have your mind blown. Many of you have asked me to weigh in on the Pixar timeline theory, consider this my first step. - The REAL Reason Wolverine is DYING! (LOGAN)E10
The REAL Reason Wolverine is DYING! (LOGAN)LOGAN, you've lived through experimental surgery, countless bullet wounds, an atomic bomb, and EVEN Bodily Disintegration from Jean Grey. But in the end it's your sweet metal exoskeleton that causes your demise? So sad! But there's one little issue - Logan is WRONG! Sure he may be getting poisoned by his metallic upgrade, but in the end, that's not the issue. Then, what's REALLY Killing Logan?! You're about to find out. - How to LIVE FOREVER! The Science of Ghost in the ShellE11
How to LIVE FOREVER! The Science of Ghost in the ShellAs a fan of both ghoulish specters and lignified cell walls I was SO EXCITED for Ghost in the Shell - until I found out that isn't what the title is referring to. Talk about false advertising. But seriously all joking aside, I am actually super excited for this film. I was a big fan of the anime, and am really looking forward to this live action reboot. But all the hype got me thinking about how possible creating "ghosts" actually is. And if so, is it actually worth it? I mean, wouldn't we just want AI? Well, actually maybe not. And we might be closer to realizing this potential than you might think. - King Kong's Secret Past - SOLVED! (Kong: Skull Island)E12
King Kong's Secret Past - SOLVED! (Kong: Skull Island)The King is Back! King Kong that is. But where did he come from? I mean he can't just be a relic left over from prehistoric times can he? In fact his origins are much more shrouded than that. And there are certain companies that want to keep it that way. Well today, I'm getting to the bottom of Kong's secret past. - Disney Moana's SECRET Identity REVEALED! (Moana)E13
Disney Moana's SECRET Identity REVEALED! (Moana)MOANA, Disney's newest princess. A strong willed, independent woman, out on adventure. Or is she? There's a lot about Moana that doesn't quite add up. She controls the Sea. Visits the Land of Monsters. She isn't just some typical Polynesian adventurer, no. Moana is more than what she seems! - Westworld's Secret Location - REVEALED!E14
Westworld's Secret Location - REVEALED!WESTWORLD is an insanely good show. It manages to create a deluge of mysteries and then solve All of Them! This has made it SO difficult to come up with a Westworld Theory! However, there is one key question that Westworld has yet to answer and about which the Creators only hint: WHERE IS WESTWORLD?! Well after some intense research, I have Found the Answer and can confidently Reveal the location of Delos Inc.'s massive amusement park! - How To BREAK Marvel's LUKE CAGE!E15
How To BREAK Marvel's LUKE CAGE!If LUKE CAGE has impenetrable skin, and He Does, then there's no realistic way to break him. OR IS THERE?! Other villains might come up with preposterous methods to destroy him, like, I don't know, using Extraterrestrial Bullets...but I have a better idea! In this episode, I will Prove to You that Luke Cage is actually really EASY TO BREAK! - Did Deadpool WRITE Deadpool?!?E16
Did Deadpool WRITE Deadpool?!?DEADPOOL is known for breaking the fourth wall in both the comics and the movie. In fact, his jokes get so meta that it’s hard to catch them all. Sure, there are the obvious ones where he talks to the camera, but there is so much more than that going on! In this episode, I PROVE that the Deadpool movie contains a HUGE Meta-joke that went entirely unnoticed by all of us…Until Now! - The Rick and Morty / Gravity Falls CROSSOVER Conspiracy!E17
The Rick and Morty / Gravity Falls CROSSOVER Conspiracy!Rick and Morty is AWESOME! Between the Rick and Morty VR game and the surprise launch of Rick and Morty Season 3 on April Fool's Day, everyone is ready to get schwifty with Rick and the gang. But while we eagerly await more schezwan sauced adventures, there's a theory that's been brewing in the background, one that hits on one of my other favorite cartoons of all time -- Gravity Falls. Is Rick and Morty a continuation of Gravity Falls? Is a crossover between the Gravity Falls gang and Rick and Morty likely to happen soon? Why would I even think that these two franchises share ANY similarities? Get ready, Theorists, to have this whole Gravity Falls / Rick and Morty puzzle start getting pieced together. - Exposing Deadpool's SECRET Identity!E18
Exposing Deadpool's SECRET Identity!DEADPOOL is a beloved and familiar Marvel character. In fact, he brings to mind another self-aggrandizing American mercenary. That's right, Deadpool is eerily similar to the real-life author AND canon Marvel character, ERNEST HEMINGWAY! I'm aware that this sounds crazy, but in this episode, I will PROVE that Deadpool IS (maybe) Ernest Hemingway! - Is Suicide Squad's Joker ACTUALLY Batman's Boy Wonder?E19
Is Suicide Squad's Joker ACTUALLY Batman's Boy Wonder?With Wonder Woman coming out in theaters this week, I felt it was time to take a look back at some of DC's other movies from the past few years. Specifically, Batman v Superman and Suicide Squad. Back before Suicide Squad and Batman v. Superman hit theaters, there was a theory kicking around that Jared Leto's Joker was secretly Batman's sidekick, Robin. But the Director of Suicide Squad, David Ayer, seemed to dismiss this saying that Jason Todd, former Robin #2 was NOT the Joker. However, the proof we cover today shows that Suicide Squad's Joker can still be Robin...just not the Robin that everyone thought. If you think you've heard this Batman v Superman/Suicide Squad theory before, you ain't seen NOTHING yet! - He is LYING! | Better Call Saul's Phony DisorderE20
He is LYING! | Better Call Saul's Phony DisorderBETTER CALL SAUL is one of my favorite shows on TV right now. However, there is one key character component that has always bothered me: Chuck's supposed Allergy to Electricity. I mean, he's gotta be Faking it right? Electromagnetic fields aren't something you can be allergic to! Well it turns out that's not entirely true, but that still doesn't mean Chuck's not faking. In this episode, I Reveal the TRUTH behind Chuck's alleged illness! - Can The Lion King SURVIVE on Bugs?E21
Can The Lion King SURVIVE on Bugs?Like almost everyone ever, THE LION KING is one of my favorite Disney movies. But when I was watching it the other day, I noticed a detail that seems like it would throw a wrench in the whole Circle of Life tale as we know it: Simba subsists (for what must be YEARS) off of only bugs! Can lions truly survive on a diet of just insects? Well hakuna matata, my friends, because I have found the answer! - Tangled - Rapunzel's Hair is KILLING Itself!E26
Tangled - Rapunzel's Hair is KILLING Itself!Disney's TANGLED is one of my favorite modern Disney Classics, but the movie begs answers to Several questions about Rapunzel's luscious locks. Have you ever wondered if hair is actually strong enough to carry the weight of a grown man? Or if Rapunzel could manage the weight of so much hair in the first place? Well after getting tangled up in some research, Loyal Theorists, I have found the answers! - DEATH NOTE–How Deadly Was it?E28
DEATH NOTE–How Deadly Was it?DEATH NOTE is my favorite anime series by a long shot, and that's because it really puts me in a moral quandary. Is KIRA a hero after all he's done? Can we consider it justice when the number of people he's murdered is more than the total number of Japanese convicts? Well Loyal Theorists, in this episode, I dive into the math in order to bring these questions to the surface for you! - How Wonder Woman FAILED Us!E29
How Wonder Woman FAILED Us!WONDER WOMAN is Amazing for many reasons. It's a Superhero blockbuster starring a woman and directed by a woman, which is long overdue. However, the story is by a man who clearly needs a lesson in storytelling. That's right, Zack Snyder, I'm coming for you. This movie, for all it's spectacle, has some MAJOR logical flaws. I'm talking flaws so basic that the movie's entire story is undeniably impossible as a result. Buckle up, Theorists, we're about to explain why one of 2017's biggest movies defies all reason and logic! - Ariel is RELATED to Hercules?! (Disney’s Connected Universe)E30
Ariel is RELATED to Hercules?! (Disney’s Connected Universe)What does the little mermaid and Hercules have in common? How about a family tree. It would appear that Disney has been Secretly building a SINGLE Disney Universe all along. Sure this may sound ridiculous, but the evidence is there. - Did Rick CLONE Beth - SOLVED! (Rick and Morty)E33
Did Rick CLONE Beth - SOLVED! (Rick and Morty)In this season of RICK AND MORTY, Rick offered to clone Beth so that she could live her fullest life while having a Beth Clone remain behind for her children. But the episode ended ambiguously, leaving us to ask if she took Rick up on this offer. So did she clone herself and ditch her family to explore the cosmos? Well, Loyal Theorists, there is actually a definitive answer to this question hidden within the episode, and I have found it! - Is The Emoji Movie ILLEGAL?E34
Is The Emoji Movie ILLEGAL?Okay, so The Emoji Movie is pretty darn bad. But that badness doesn't actually come from the movie itself. I mean, sure, The Emoji Movie is predictable and has cringe-worthy jokes and has a really awful "try hard to be hip for the kids" premise...but that's true of a lot of movies. No, The Emoji Movie is bad because it's one huge commercial. A commercial that is targeting children while blatantly breaking rules established by the FTC and FCC for disclosing branded advertising. So how deep does this rabbit hole go? Get ready for some Angry Judge emoji. - IT - Pennywise's Greatest Fear (IT Movie 2017)E35
IT - Pennywise's Greatest Fear (IT Movie 2017)Like many of you I loved the new IT movie. But one thing has been bothering me since I saw IT. How exactly were the Loser's Club able to over come the master or fear - Pennywise? I mean he had plenty of opportunities to kill them off one by one. So I did a little digging, but what I found goes far beyond just their ability to survive. - Stranger Things - IS ELEVEN THE MONSTER? (Stranger Things Season 2 Prediction)E36
Stranger Things - IS ELEVEN THE MONSTER? (Stranger Things Season 2 Prediction)The new season of STRANGER THINGS is coming out, so naturally all of the questions surrounding Eleven, the kids, and the Demogorgon have resurfaced online. It’s a pretty popular theory that Eleven and the Demogorgon are related if not one and the same, but so far the evidence for this theory has been thin. So I did some digging, and Loyal Theorists, I’ve uncovered information that definitively proves that Eleven and the Demogorgon are one and the same! - Is Thor STRONGER Than The Hulk? (Thor: Ragnarok)E37
Is Thor STRONGER Than The Hulk? (Thor: Ragnarok)THOR: RAGNAROK is hitting theaters, giving us another epic Marvel movie that features our favorite heroes: The Avengers. This means The Hulk and Thor will yet again be featured in the same movie, giving us another chance to watch in awe as they enact astounding feats of strength. So far, Marvel hasn’t given a straight answer as to which one of these ultra-powerful heroes has the most brawn, even though they’ve gone head-to-head multiple times in the movies and comics. But that ends today, Loyal Theorists! With the power of math, science, and research, I will reveal which Avenger is strongest! - Rey's Parents SOLVED! (Star Wars: The Last Jedi)E39
Rey's Parents SOLVED! (Star Wars: The Last Jedi)With STAR WARS: THE LAST JEDI on the horizon, I have entered full Star Wars hype mode! And with that comes over-analyzing everything we've seen in the newest trailer and the previous movies - leading me to one question: Who is Rey? More specifically, who are Rey's parents? Well, Loyal Theorists, I am convinced that I have found the answer! Don't watch this video if you're afraid of spoilers because I am certain I got this one right! - Why You SHOULDN'T FLY to Mordor! (The Lord of the Rings)E40
Why You SHOULDN'T FLY to Mordor! (The Lord of the Rings)When it comes to The Lord of the Rings, one of the most common questions circulated online is why didn’t Frodo just ride the giant Eagles to Mount Doom? There are theories out there that suggest this was the plan all along, but sadly, when you look at the evidence, that's just wrong. In fact, it's so wrong, it's dangerous! In this episode, I will give you the definitive answer to why Frodo didn’t simply ride those giant birds into Mordor! - Jurassic World Was An INSIDE JOB! (Jurassic World)E41
Jurassic World Was An INSIDE JOB! (Jurassic World)JURASSIC WORLD follows the same outline as the previous Jurassic movies – humans decide recreating dinosaurs would be fun, something goes wrong with the system designed to imprison them, and a cool amusement park turns into a horrific monster-filled island. But what if it wasn’t so simple? What if the dinosaur fiasco in Jurassic World wasn’t an accident? Strap in, Loyal Theorists. In this episode, I will prove that the dinosaurs didn’t escape from Jurassic World. They were set free! - Gravity Falls ISN'T OVER! (Bill Cipher LIVES!)E43
Gravity Falls ISN'T OVER! (Bill Cipher LIVES!)Gravity Falls left us wanting so much more. Many of us took to the internet scrambling to see if there would be a season 3, but our hopes lead to a dead end. After Bill Cipher’s death, we were supposed to just accept that the series was over… but there was one thing that stuck out like a sore thumb to me. One thing that makes the conclusion to Gravity Falls SOUR. You see Theorists, our little friend Bill Cipher is far from dead, and in this theory I’m going to show you why! - Who is Santa's MISSING Son? A Christmas ConspiracyE44
Who is Santa's MISSING Son? A Christmas ConspiracyHo ho ho! The holidays are here! And you know what that means… Christmas movies! But I’m actually going to but a pause on that excitement for one moment because there’s something I want to talk about. Growing up, I watched tons of animated holiday films. One in particular stuck with me though: Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer. Sure the film was charming, but that wasn’t the reason why it stuck with me… It’s because there was a hidden connection between the characters that wasn’t explained. Santa has a missing son and I’m going to prove it! - Was SpongeBob ADOPTED?! (SpongeBob SquarePants)E45
Was SpongeBob ADOPTED?! (SpongeBob SquarePants)SpongeBob SquarePants is quite the odd character. A yellow pant-wearing sponge with an unmistakable laugh. The lovable son of two… well… different looking parents? Are we EVEN sure those are his parents? There’s only one way to find out Loyal Theorists! Time to buckle down for some good old biology to solve this once and for all! - Disney LIED to You! (High School Musical)E46
Disney LIED to You! (High School Musical)Disney's High School Musical seemed pretty straight forward. Most people assume that the mean rich girl Sharpay is the villain. But what if I told you that isn’t the case? Could there be someone else better suited for that title? Someone more spoiled, undeserving, and ungrateful? Scramble to your seats theorists! Class is now in session!
