Episode 15: Disney's Secret Archive of Dead Actors
Today we are diving back into the question, "Who owns your face when you are dead?" Deepfakes have made that a BIG question, one that needed more than just one episode. So here is a new question for you: if you could own the image of a dead actor, would you? Is it okay for you to use that likeness in movies forever? Let's talk.

Episode 12: Jack Sparrow is Dying... Of THIRST!
Theorists, have you ever heard of Captain Jack Sparrow? I'm pretty sure most of you have. What if I told you he was in trouble? Like DEADLY trouble? No, I don't mean from undead pirates or Davy Jones himself. I'm talking about good old dehydration. That's right, this rum drinking pirate is DYING of thirst and it's all his fault!

Theorists, if you haven't seen The Batman yet, what are you waiting for? Today we will be talking about that last scene. The scene that sets up what could be the future bad guy for Robert Pattinson's Batman. Who is the mystery villain? IS it the Joker? SHOULD it be the Joker? Get your cowl and cape ready, Theorists!
Episode 17: Netflix is BROKEN... But I Can FIX It!
By now you've probably heard about Netflix not quite hitting the numbers it was expecting to. The headlines are all about how "Netflix is DYING!" or "Netflix is BROKEN!". Well, I think I have the solution to their problems. Netflix, it's time to sit back and let good old reliable MatPat save you.
Episode 10: Do N̸̛͙̔͆̄̉̋̓̿̈͂̆̕O̵̫͇̣̯͑́͆̽̄̑͑̒̋̚͝Ṭ̷̲̮͚̪̈̓͛̍͌̑͛͂̏̽ͅ Fear Him (The Mandela Catalogue)
It's been a while since I posted my first theory on The Mandela Catalogue. The series has NOT slowed down! Today I want to focus on one of the scariest things to show up yet - The Intruder? Who is he? Should we ACTUALLY be afraid or is the truth a little more mysterious. Theorist, it's time to step into the dark and spooky world of The Mandela Catalogue once again! Don't be afraid...
Episode 18: How To SURVIVE A Quiet Place!
When you watch A Quiet Place and A Quiet Place 2, we are shown how humanity has adapted to survive in a world where any sound can get you killed. Except, that's not exactly true. Even in the movie itself, we see that people are unable to exist without making ANY sound. So, how loud is TOO loud? It's time to find out!
Episode 9: Dolores BROKE The Magic! (Disney Encanto)
Theorists, by now we know who the "secret villain" of Encanto is, right? It's Abuela. Well, what if we are all WRONG? I think someone else in the Madrigal may have been pulling the strings. Someone who always knew what was going on... whether they liked it or not. Someone whose gift may have felt more like a curse. No, I'm not talking about Bruno....
Episode 19: 5 Post-Multiverse of Madness Theories (Doctor Strange)
Theorists, I made some predictions about Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness right before the release of the movie. Now that it is out I can say, I was RIGHT! Well, mostly. It's time to talk about the future of the MCU (again) and what we should expect in the aftermath of the madness that was this movie.
Episode 8: AI Deepfakes Are FOOLING You!
Theorists, do you ever worry that someone will STEAL your face? Now, that may sound like some weird science fiction kind of question, but it may be the future. With the rise of using technology to de-age celebrities or bring them back from the dead, like we've seen happening with more and more frequency in Star Wars, it poses some BIG concerns. Theorists, we are diving into the weird world of deepfakes and what it may mean for the future of the entertainment industry and beyond.
Episode 20: Encanto, The Madrigal Family SECRET!
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...
