In each episode of Film Theorists’ main series, Patrick dives into a specific work and sheds light on elements that less careful consumers may have missed. Despite the channel’s title, it isn’t limited to movies; instead, Patrick is taking on all sorts of pop culture franchises, including Game of Thrones and Harry Potter.

Who is Dad? No, not YOUR dad or MY dad. DAD! The man at the center of the new surreal series on YouTube. While familiar with the creator, I only came across this channel a little while ago and when he made a video with MY FACE as the thumbnail (even though it was deleted soon after), I knew I had to sit up and pay attention. There is some WEIRD stuff going on behind the facade of neon colors and dance music. Who is Dad? WHAT is Dad? Well Theorists, we are about to find out.

The highly anticipated Wonder Woman 1984 is FINALLY out! It's been too long since I had a new superhero movie to talk about, so I had to watch and see if anything stood out as theory worthy. Well, Theorists, Wonder Woman did it again - or rather she DIDN'T! The last time I talked about Wonder Woman, she'd failed us as a hero. Well, looks like she's up to her old habits again! Yep, Wonder Woman has failed us once again - and I'll tell you how!

Theorists, did you know that Lifetime made a Colonel Sanders movie? And that it is a romance? Neither did I until very recently and you KNOW I had to watch it. I was surprised, not by the steamy romance, but by the fact that they seemed to reveal the secret ingredient to the KFC recipe! Yes! Throughout the movie they reference a specific ingredient, something very unexpected. Do not look away from Mario Lopez and his weird hair, Theorists! This may be the most important movie we've ever seen!

I've been wanting to cover more classic cartoons lately and Invader Zim was the perfect choice. The lore and science of that show fascinates me. There is so much we can dive into that it was hard to limit myself to one thing, but for you, Theorists, I will do my best. Today we are going to uncover the SECRET ALIEN hiding in plain sight. No, I don't mean Zim. I am talking about DIB!

I am thoroughly impressed with Disney's first Marvel Disney+ show, WandaVision. The old time sitcom comedy mixed with the almost Twilight Zone feel of the mystery is just what I needed to reinvigorate the Marvel Theory side of my brain. Today Loyal Theorists, I am going to PREDICT the end of WandaVision based on all of the cluse so far - plus how I think it will shape the rest of the MCU moving forward. You won't want to miss this!

By now, most of us know the end of Monsters Inc. The Monsters discover that the screams they've been using as a power source are not the most optimized way to do business. Which, you know, is good to find out given the terror they've been puting generations of kids through. Thanks to the adventures of Sully, Mike and Boo, they find out laughter works even BETTER than the sreams. What I want to know, Theorists, is WHY that is and, more importantly, did the Monsters actually make a big MISTAKE?

"For the children." That's the phrase that keeps coming up in WandaVsion. For a while, I thought that meant the missing children of the town but last week we got to see them again. Then I thought it meant HER children, Billy and Tommy, whose mysterious appearance has left many questions so far unanswered. Theorists, there is SO MUCH to unpack when it comes to the Hex, Wanda's kids, and what reality actually means anymore. Get ready to get mystical!

It's been a while since we talked Phineas & Ferb, so I knew I needed to check in to see if there were any new theories being concocted in that backyard. It turns out, there totally IS! Today Theories, we are talking about the killer plant from SPAC! In the 'Phineas and Ferb the Movie: Candace Against the Universe' we come up against an alien species that needs something from earth. Theorists, that is just the set up to a KILLER theory!

WandaVision's Scarlet Witch name drop was a BIG moment in the last episode. Now we know why Wanda's magic is red - it's CHAOS magic! Fun fact, if you've been paying attention, the roses in Wanda's garden are ALSO red. Not to mention Agatha, whose purple magic ALSO matches her purple garden. What a coincidence... or is it? What if hiding in these suburban homes of Westview is another secret witch? A THIRD witch? Well Theorists, that is EXACTLY what is happening! Today I am going to reveal WandaVisions's FINAL witch!

The King of Monsters is back and this time he is not alone! The trailers for Godzilla vs Kong look epic and it meant I had to take a swing at the BIG question - who will WIN? Well Theorists, it's actually pretty simple. So instead of hedging my bets, I'm going to come out and say it. Godzilla will WIN and King King will... well the answer is not that simple. You will just have to watch to find out!

I've wanted to talk about Hazbin Hotel for AGES. FInally, I think I've cracked the big question of the show. How many souls does Charlie have to save to fix the problem in her fiery home? Theorists, Charlie means well but ultimately I think she is doomed to fail. Why? There are simply too many souls. Let's dive in!

There is a lot to unpack in the first episode of The Falcon and The Winter Soldier, but why stop at that? You see, Theorists, all this setup is leading to some BIG reveals and I think I've figured it out. Today, we are not only covering what all of the clues in episode one mean for the future. I am going to predict the 3 BIG TWISTS coming up in the series and how the end will change the face of the MCU moving forward. Let's go!

Last time I talked about the Lion King, we were seeing just how big the body count was for this beloved Disney movie and sayong Scar was the rightful king. WEll, we are leaning into that even HARDER this time! Today, I want to talk about the sibling rivalry to end all sibling rivalries - Scar and Mufasa. Theorists, lions are a very, VERY interesting animal. I think that Scar ATE Mufasa after the stampede. You'll have to watch to find out WHY!

So now that we've all finally got to see the infamous Snyder Cut of DC's The Justice League, we're good right? Wrong! Now the people want to make it CANON! Well Theorists, what if I told you it already was? What if the original vision of Zack Snyder's Justice League has ALWAYS been canon? That's right! Before you send off that #RestoreTheSnyderVerse​ tweet, watch this video! It may have you saying #SnyderVerseIsAlreadyCanon​ instead.

Disney is infamous for keeping a tight hold on it's copyright, including taking it to extremes with things that TECHNICALLY fall under public domain in their original format. Well, that is not what happened with Finding Nemo. You see, the story of Finding Nemo is VERY similar to a not as well known children's story. One that is NOT in the public domain. Today, Theorists, we are going to dive deep and figure out if Disney actually STOLE the story of Finding Nemo!

What if I told you there was a Snyder cut of Godzilla vs Kong? Theorists, Zack Snyder does not have his own version of this movie, but I believe there is a LOST CUT. That's right. Somewhere out there is a version of this movie that NO ONE was allowed to see. Today, I'm going to crack open the vault on the Godzilla vs Kong movie we SHOULD have gotten but likely never will. Let's go!

What IS a Minion? That was the question I started with when working on this theory. I wanted to REALLY understand these little guys, so I started searching the movies for information. Well Theorists, I found more that I expected buried in the Minions and Despicable Me movies. A LOT more. So much that I can definitely say that the Minions in the movies are NOT Minions. You'll have to watch to find out WHY!

About 4 years ago, I released a theory saying that the movie Wall-E was about cannibalism. It was likely what solidified my place as King of Ruining Your Childhood forever. Theorists, today I am doubling down on that theory. The proof is in the pudding, or rather, it is in the cup. Where does the food come from and what is in it? Get ready for another heaping helping of people!

The future of Marvel remains a mystery and the world of Shang-Chi is no different. We know TOO MUCH for me to not suspect that some gigantic surprise is awaiting us in the movie. We know about The Mandarin and the Ten Rings. So what, Theorists, is the movie hiding? I have the answer but you will have to watch to find out!

Theorists, maybe Cruella had the right idea. Wait, no! I'm not talking about making coats out of cute, defenseless puppies. I meant that they cost a LOT of money. She tells Roger and Anita that they simply can't afford to keeps them all, so they should sell them to her. Well, THAT is a bad idea but maybe she was onto something. Raising and providing for three humans PLUS 101 Dalmatians must cost a LOT of money. How much? Time for us to to get out our calculators and find out!

Dad is back but he seems...different. Theorists, I think something is wrong. Something sinister. Today we are diving back into the world of Dad - a web series that is more like an experience. What does the future hold for Dad? Let's find out!

2021x22 Is Wall-E Satan?

2021x22 Is Wall-E Satan?

  • 2021-06-03T19:00:00Z15m

Today Theorists, we are diving into an oldie but a goodie. The classic theory of " Is Wall-E Satan?". I've seen this floating around the internet for a while and was always curious to dip my toes into it and see what I could find to back it up. So that's what I'm going to do! It's time to find out is Wall-E really saved humanity or if he DOOMED them after all!

Finally, there is a Five Nights At Freddy's type of content I can cover on Film Theory. Theorists, welcome to The Walten Files. It is a video series created by Martin Walls and we HAVE to talk about it. It is not your standard haunted animatronic eatery story. Sit back and grab a snack as I introduce you to the series you NEED to know, what it's telling us, and where I think it is going. Just press play....

Disney+ has been killing it with their Marvel series. I knew Loki would be the same and, boy, are they proving me RIGHT! I started theorizing after episode one but, after watching Loki Episode 2, I made sure we worked that in as well. What is going on with the Time Keepers? What does the BIG reveal of episode 2 mean for the future of the Sacred Timeline and the multiverse? I think I know how all of this madness will END! Let's go!

2021x25 How To SURVIVE Saw!

2021x25 How To SURVIVE Saw!

  • 2021-06-22T19:00:00Z15m

Do you think you could SURVIVE a Saw movie? It seems like a logical question to have after witnessing the horror Jigsaw brings to people who are, arguably, just like us. Well Theorists, your buddy MatPat is here to help you do just that. This is not your average "how to beat every trap in Saw" kind of video. I am going to teach you the TRUE way to not die in a Saw movie. That's a good deed worthy of keeping me off Jigsaw's radar, right? Right?!

Rick and Morty has returned with a bang... at least for Morty. He was truly the "hero" of this episode while Rick was floundering to meet his usual standards. In the previous season, Rick was too cool to be touched by almost anything going on. In this episode we see him struggle to maintain his usual attitude in the face of his rival, Mr. Nimbus. In the meantime, Morty takes on a much more "Rick" like role. Can this be the future of Rick and Morty?

Welcome to another edition of MORTY, where I look back on old theories and see if there was anything I missed! Today, I'm taking another crack at Spongebob Squarepants himself. There was a popular theory going around about how Bikini Bottom was the result of nuclear testing. Could that be TRUE? You'll have to keep watching to find out!

I have been binge watching the Fast and Furious franchise recently and I am OBSESSED! With that and all of the memes taking over every social media since Fast and Furious 9 came out, I knew it was time to cover it. There were MANY ways this could go. Do I cover the lore? Or maybe the insane physics? Not today. Theorists, I decided I need to answer the most important question. Which Fast and Furious movie is the MOST fast and furious?

Theorist, we are reaching the end of season one of the Loki Disney+ series. Before it ends, I have one more BIG prediction and I think I may have figured it all out. We all have been thinking that the series is building up to some reveal of Kang the Conqueror. The big question is WHO will it be? I think the answer has been in front of our noses all along... and I don't mean Agatha.

This season of Rick and Morty feels different... and I'm not the only one to think so! Many fans of the series have pointed out how this felt like a return to season on Rick and Morty, dropping the more overarching story feel of the past few seasons. I think that was done for a REASON! A reason that I think is based on something fans have been asking to see for a long time - Evil Morty's origin story! Theorists, get ready for a wild timey-wimey ride!

Space Jam is a cult classic nowadays. With the release of Space Jam: A New Legacy, I knew it was time to cover the now franchise. Watching the original movie, I was struck with a realization. The game was RIGGED... and not in the way you think. The MonStars were never going to win, and they did it to themselves! How? Watch to find out!

After watching the new Marvel movie, Black Widow, we were all left with one question. Did Red Guardian ACTUALLY Fight Captain America? A lot of people have tried their hand at answering this but I think they've missed the BIGGEST twist of the story. Yes, Red Guardian fought Captain America... but it was NOT Steve Rogers! Who was it? You'll have to watch to find out!

The Minions in Despicable Me seem near indestructible! You know what that means ,Theorists! I must figure out how to DESTROY them! Today we will find the best, and most efficient, way to kill a Minion. Who says my Theories have no real world applications? Let's get testing Theorists!

Falcon and The Winter Soldier, or rather Captain America and the Winter Soldier, ended with a big speech from Sam about being better. Well Sam, I think you forgot a few things. You see, even Captain America has done some... less than stellar things - both Steven and Sam. I think he's got the right idea, but I think we need to workshop it a bit. Captain America, I'm about to fix your problem.

Theorists, something has been lurking in the comments... and not just mine. Meet OwO, the commenter. Now that may seem like an innocuous coincidence but there is something much deeper going on. I started to see comments from OwO pop up around YouTube and was even told point blank "not to engage". You know I can't resist that kind of invitation, Theorists.

Season 5 of Rick and Morty has been... a mixed bag. One thing they HAVE delivered on, though, is the promise of some epic lore. You see, the Rick we've been seeing is very different to our usual Rick. I've made a couple theories already about why that may be, but the most recent episode left a BIG clue. Has Beth been dead the ENTIRE time? Watch to find out!

Have you been keeping up with the search for the new host of Jeopardy? I've loved seeing all the different guest hosts. When they said they found a new host, I was surprised at the choice... less surprised when it fell through. I think the people behind Jeopardy need to broaden their horizons with who they are considering. I think they should consider me. Hear me out! I think it is time for the old school Jeopardy to embrace new media and I think I have a strong case on how to do just that. Jeopardy, let's talk.

You read the title right. I'm doing a Baby Shark theory. It was, like Thanos says, inevitable. What do I have to say about Baby Shark... do do do do do? Well, it seems like Mama and Papa shark have been keeping a secret. Baby Shark is ADOPTED! How do I know? Get your fins ready, Theorists, it's time to do a deep dive into the lore of Baby Shark!

Theories aside, we all know that Spider-Man: No Way Home is going to be a WILD ride! After that trailer drop and confirmation of Doc Ock, the mysterious laughter of Green Goblin, and more - there is SO MUCH to talk about! So much that we are covering not one, not two, but THREE theories today! That's right, we are going all in on everything this movie has to offer. Let's go!

The original Matrix trilogy was a well of theory potential. Yet, I haven't covered it in YEARS! So when the new trailer for The Matrix 4: Resurrections came out, I felt the need to try and cover ALL of the theories and predictions possible. All at once. Yes, today we are answering every question posed in the Matrix 4 trailer, what I think the plot and ending of the movies will be, and what that means for us the viewer. Get ready to PLUG IN!

Listen, we've been waiting to see Venom fight Carnage in Venom 2: LEt There Be Carnage since that post credit scene and it is FINALLY time! Of course, that means I need to try and predict who will WIN. Most of you likely assume you know that answer already. It's Venom. You know, the "hero" of our story. Yet, WHY will he win? What does Venom have over Carnage, besides plot armor? Theorist, it goes a whole lot deeper!

The secret at the center of Dan Brown's The Lost Symbol is a captivating look into the mysteries of history. The Lost Symbol is a race against time to put together the clues and potentially save the lives of many. Today, I'm going to take that as a challenge. I think I've figured out what exactly is going on and, Theorists, nothing is as it seems!

When I last left off with The Walten Files, I told you there was something else... something that deserved its own episode. Today we are talking about the tragedy that is hiding at the center of the series. This is a story of a broken family and the consequences of their choices. Today, we unlock the final secrets of The Walten Files.

It feels like EVERYONE is talking about Squid Game, the Korean action / drama about a deadly series of children's games. I've seen other channels take a swing at explaining the series and figuring out the best strategy to surviving until the end, but I felt like I needed to try and figure it out myself. There had to be a perfect winning strategy. Theorists, I think I've found out the ULTIMATE way to survive to win the Squid Game!

We've talked about the CryptTV universe in previous episodes and since then it has blown WIDE OPEN! With their new series called The Girl In The Woods, it looks like the timeline is shifting and I think we may be entering a monster multiverse just in time for Halloween! Today we are opening the door on the secret horror hiding in The Girl In The Woods!

The legality of Squid Game may seem like an easy question to answer. These people signed away their rights, right? Well Loyal Theorists, it is NOT that simple. Today we are going to figure out once and for all if the people behind Squid Game are BREAKING any laws or if they have outsmarted the system!

Eternals just came out... and my biggest take away? We were right. We called it years ago. Thanos was right! He tried to save us. And here is how Eternals proves it.

What if you cannot even trust the MOON? Theorists, we are returning to one of my favorite analog horror series... Local 58! Since my last episode on this series SO MUCH has happened! In fact, things appear to have crossed from function onto OUR reality. That's right, Local 58 has gone full ARG and I am here for it! Let's get solving!

Dune is an epic fantasy that has captured the imaginations of people for YEARS. It all centers around a specific substance known as "spice". This spice is the key to everything in the Dune universe. Today, Theorists, I am to figure out what exactly that spice IS and WHY it works the way that it does. It's time to get spicy!

Theorists, we know that Spider-Man: No Way Home is going to be WILD! What you may not know is that Shang-Chi may have ALREADY told us what's going to happen in the end. That's right, we are predicting the FUTURE of the MCU and how Shang-Chi and Doctor Strange are at the heart of it all. Get ready to crack open the multiverse, Theorists, there is no going back from here!

Theorists, I know you like it when I open the door to the creepy side of YouTube. That's what we are doing again today! Enter The Mandela Catalogue, a series that seems to be telling us the story of the bible... or is it? I think there is something strange going on with these "angels". Get your tin foil hats ready, Theorists!

Since we know that Squid Game season 2 is coming at some point, I figured it was time to cover THAT theory. The "are Gi-Hun and Il-nam related" theory. It's been circulating for a little while and I felt like I needed to test the validity for myself and see if this could be the BIG TWIST of season 2. Theorists, get your game face on as we dive back into Squid Game!

Here's a question... "Is Santa the bad guy?" In all the media we see, he is working those elves to the bone. Sometimes, those elves are even depicted as CHILDREN! What kind of workshop of horrors is he running? It's time to bring back our OSHA checklist and see if he's up to code.
