Two Takes episodes

  • 100% Of Your Brain (short)

    We apparently only use around 10% of our brain. In some films, we are presented with what would happen if we used more. What I find

    interesting is that, in films like Lucy and Limitless, it's in a form
    of a drug, that strangely does the same thing but we see different
    outcomes to what might happen.

  • Final Fantasy VII X Horizon Zero Dawn Connection (short)

    The 'World Soul' or Anima Mundi (in Latin) is the connection between all living things, and like the soul is connected to the human body, it relates to the world as a life force, interacting with each other like neurons in the human brain; it is all one essence, just doing many many things at the same time, interlacing and interconnecting, working together. This can be said for GAIA and her sub-functions in Horizon Zero Dawn, but on a more physical and robotic scale. And for Final Fantasy VII it has the same concept, but more within the spiritual realm, especially in the final moments of the game.

  • Alien Eggs (short)

    When you find an alien egg, it's wise to not touch it, right? Could we say the same when these ideas spawn from both horror and

    comedy films? Take the Alien franchise, and then place it next to Gremlins. Both species hatch cocoon like eggs and wreck havoc on anyone they see. Was there a reason we have placed monsters as scary when coming out of a shell?

  • 15 Million Merits Theory (short)

    In Black Mirror's episode '15 Million Merits', Bing's expression and

    outburst about the injustice of how everyone is living shows the
    aspect of division of class, but more on point, about the pretence of
    a society that is based on choice, when really, as can understand, it
    is not. More clues, much like the 'Cuppliance' drink can emphasise
    this theory, another being the judges of the show 'Hot Shot'. Wraith
    - a demon that takes your soul, Hope - like Pandora's box of
    containing hope to prolong suffering, and Charity - much like the
    Greek Charities, used by benefiting good and evil men with persuasion tactics.

  • Ghosts (short)

    I guess we could all be driven insane by ghosts. In 2019's Joker and

    The Shining, there seems to be that connection, whether it was
    literal with Jack, or metaphorical with Arthur, we can all become
    like ghosts to each other through our own bitterness and selfishness
    it seems.

  • Moon (2009) Theory (short)

    Sam Bell, from the film Moon, had to face a lot of challenges when

    finding his way back to Earth. Director Duncan Jones featured what
    happens next for Sam in a small cameo in his 2018 film Mute. We can see on the TV the continuation of what Sam had to go through, with him facing court, arguing with himself...

  • Shut Up And Dance Theory (short)

    In the Black Mirror episode 'Shut Up And Dance', the anti-malware

    software Kenny downloads was called 'Shrive'. 'Shrive' is actually
    the an archaic term meaning to either confess your sins to a priest
    or to be absolved by them. The trollfaces, the people behind Shrive,
    might be fishing the internet for troublemakers, finding Kenny doing
    something he shouldn't have. This can be seen as many different
    things: that the trollfaces were essentially trying to weed out the
    wicked from the flock, or they were wanting people, anyone really, to do their bidding.

  • Independence Day X Oblivion Theory (short)

    We have all seen films that present alien invasions in different

    manners. But what if Independence Day, showing the aliens and the
    inside of their mothership, was their first attempt and then they
    came back a second time and succeeded in Oblivion? We don't see the alien, but we see their mothership which strangely looks the same...

  • Wicked Witches & Nome Kings (short)

    In The Wizard of Oz and The Return to Oz, the idea of things such as

    water killing a witch or an egg killing the Nome King, could only be
    linked to the power of wanting something so much it features in your imagination. Water was wanted in Kansas because of the drought, and the eggs were wanted because of the need for food. In Oz, things have a habit of coming true in the strangest of circumstances it seems...
