the popcorn isn't real have you ever been watching a movie and something felt a little off several times Reggie stops somewhere and just starts like shelling out cash just like bills and bills he's just I never noticed that he's loaded you ever get the feeling there was something else just below the surface? Clearly this has to do with what Dorothy's brain is doing which is creating these split personalities to protect herself from something she doesn't want to know. We know that feeling and you know what a lot of other people do too. In fact there are thousands of fan theories about any form of media you can think of which act to either enhance or destroy the characters and story that you thought you knew. We put together this podcast to analyze those theories to compile them and shine light on the dark crevices in your favorite movies. But why should you listen to us? I'm Leif Eric, a Hollywood screenwriter, archivist, editor, comic book author.

From my time working with directors like Sam Raimi to the hours I've spent scouring archived forgotten Hollywood footage, I know this industry from top to bottom. I can help you to see a movie from the writer's point of view, and I bring to the table key details that anyone else would have missed. I'm Torvald. I've worked in software engineering, big data analytics, cybersecurity consulting. I have a knack for asking the right questions, digging a little deeper, and getting right down to the core of things. With my analytical experience and my knowledge of how to form a deep, cohesive, meaningful system, I can help you to make the logical connections that form our theories. We're two brothers. We love movies, media, and madness. And we know you do, too. We put a lot of work into researching every single theory we cover, so you can just sit back and enjoy. Join us as we open your eyes to see the worlds you thought you knew while we discuss the greatest movie and media fan theories out there.

And remember, the popcorn isn't real.
