Film Theory: Um actually, you CAN simply walk into Mordor but it'll take a while (Lord of the Rings)
Overview
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!

Episode 39: Dora is CURSED! (Dora The Explorer)
It's time, Theorists. Time to talk about Dora the Explorer. I've wanted to do a theory about Dora since playing some of the Dora the Explorer horror games. Then they came out with the surprisingly enjoyable live action movie. Well, consider me VERY interested. So today we are diving into the dark lore surrounding our favorite explorer. Vámonos!
Episode 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 Most use outdated technology to tell their tales of horror.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.

Episode 38: The Mario Movie will be a MUSICAL?! (Chris Pratt Mario)
Let's be real. We are ALL anticipating the new Chris Pratt Mario movie for one reason or another. So, I decided to try my hand at predicting the ENTIRE movie. What's the story? How will it END? That and more in today's Film Theory!

The long awaited tv series of Don't Hug Me, I'm Scared is here! I was so excited to see what new secrets we can uncover with our favorite puppet trio! And Theorists, this show opens up a whole new world of lore and theory fodder. Let's get cracking!
Episode 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!
Episode 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.
Episode 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!
Episode 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!
Episode 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!
Episode 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...
Episode 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. I think Elmo is being manipulated and he is about to BREAK! Theorists, we need to help Elmo. Let's head on down to Sesame Street!
Episode 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.
