Speaker 1: We welcome to the podcast, join host hoh as he
Speaker 1: discusses the riveting Netflix original series Black Mirror. Now Here
Speaker 1: he is Hoo Hoo for broadcasting from WEAPONI SAWT Production
Speaker 1: Studio B. Welcome to Black Mirror Podcast and as always
Speaker 1: I'm your host. Ho ho so HOI y'all doing I
Speaker 1: hope you're doing good?
Speaker 2: I really do.
Speaker 1: Today we're going to be discussing season six, doing a
Speaker 1: quick recap on the episodes, and then I'm going to
Speaker 1: give you my ranking from least to worst on my
Speaker 1: favorite episodes in this season. Now, before we go any further,
Speaker 1: I gotta warn you spoiler alert if you have yet
Speaker 1: to see any of season six, head on over to
Speaker 1: Netflix watch the season, and then come back over and
Speaker 1: take a list and see to this episode, because we
Speaker 1: are going to be talking about the episodes themselves now.
Speaker 2: Whenever, or I.
Speaker 1: Guess I should say, just before season six came out,
Speaker 1: about the only thing that I heard about the season
Speaker 1: itself was that they were upping the production value, maybe
Speaker 1: adding some more depth to the characters, or whatever the
Speaker 1: case may be. And I can't say as if that
Speaker 1: really held true, at least my opinion, you know, because
Speaker 1: season five. I mean, it may have been a shorter season,
Speaker 1: but it was really packed with everything. I mean, they
Speaker 1: did a really good job with that season. I enjoyed it.
Speaker 1: I enjoyed it quite a bit. Now that's not to
Speaker 1: take away from season six, because I did like season six,
Speaker 1: Don't get me wrong, I really did. And they kicked
Speaker 1: off season six with an amazing episode Joan is awful.
Speaker 1: Holy cow. That one was a really cool episode. And
Speaker 1: I tell you why. You know, because when you you know,
Speaker 1: look at quantum computing, whenever you look at you know,
Speaker 1: AI CGI, whenever you are looking at deep fakes and
Speaker 1: all that kind of stuff. You know, the fact that
Speaker 1: they can reproduce somebody's voice, you know, a celebrity, somebody
Speaker 1: whom you know, like my voice, even they can reproduce
Speaker 1: it accurately to a point to where you wouldn't know
Speaker 1: if it was me or whether it was AI doing it.
Speaker 1: I mean, that's just that's that that just brings a
Speaker 1: whole new leve level of wow to it, you know
Speaker 1: what I mean. And you know, you look at just
Speaker 1: just everything, especially now, have you take into account you
Speaker 1: know that, especially in the city, you know that you
Speaker 1: are recorded audio visual, so much so often that yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean they would be able to do something like that,
Speaker 1: especially with the celebrity with you know, all the times
Speaker 1: that they're on camera and whatnot. I mean, they can
Speaker 1: virtually do anything they want to. You know, I seen
Speaker 1: The Mandalorian where they did the deep fake version of
Speaker 1: what was his name of Luke Skywalker, you know, making
Speaker 1: him look young like like as he was in the
Speaker 1: original series, and it was like, wow, you know, that
Speaker 1: was just that to me was cool. And you know,
Speaker 1: thinking about the whole aspect of you know, nobody reads
Speaker 1: the terms of service whenever they you know, download an app,
Speaker 1: whenever they start using the app. I mean, you never
Speaker 1: know what it is you're actually agreeing to. You know,
Speaker 1: it definitely is a precautionary tale to read that fine print,
Speaker 1: you know, read that puppy, see what you're actually agreeing to.
Speaker 1: And before you you make the assumption that, you know,
Speaker 1: my life isn't interesting enough for them to make something
Speaker 1: like that.
Speaker 2: I mean, think about it like this.
Speaker 1: You know, how often do we watch quote unquote reality TV?
Speaker 1: You know, how often do we do that We're we're
Speaker 1: intrigued by that type of content, And I mean, I
Speaker 1: mean think about it. You know, the most the best
Speaker 1: horror movies out there are based off of a true story,
Speaker 1: and so many of them out there are. I mean,
Speaker 1: you look at Texas Chainsaw Massacre, you look at you know,
Speaker 1: even the concept behind Nightmare and Alma Street, you know,
Speaker 1: the first Friday the thirteenth based off of a Chew
Speaker 1: episode based off of a true story. I mean, holy crap.
Speaker 2: You know, fat more often than not as stranger than fiction,
Speaker 2: isn't it. So I mean it's not real far fetched.
Speaker 1: That they may actually end up pulling off something like this,
Speaker 1: you know. I mean, that's just that to me was
Speaker 1: just you know, it brought a different level to this episode.
Speaker 1: It really did, atast at least for me, it did.
Speaker 1: You know, and this episode, I mean, you're talking a
Speaker 1: computer generated, reproduced world using you know, I guess quantum computing.
Speaker 1: I don't know if they really use that or not.
Speaker 1: They I don't remember them really saying. But even still,
Speaker 1: it's like, dude, I mean, you know, it's it's the
Speaker 1: amount of process power that would take all the crap,
Speaker 1: but they they reproduced it, and it was you know,
Speaker 1: one of the things that got me in this episode
Speaker 1: was it was it was layer upon layer. It was
Speaker 1: world within a world within a world, so many depths.
Speaker 1: I mean, Leonardo DiCaprio in what movie was that, Oh,
Speaker 1: I don't remember the movie, you know, where they spend
Speaker 1: the top and they're in in dream world with with
Speaker 1: different layers and whatnot. You know, I mean that just
Speaker 1: you know, Leonardo DiCaprio, each your heart out, so many
Speaker 1: different layers in this one. Phenomenal.
Speaker 2: Now, the the the portion of.
Speaker 1: This movie that or episode that really got me was
Speaker 1: you know, you've you've got a gal whom you know,
Speaker 1: is living her life and then you know, she notices
Speaker 1: on on Netflix, you know or whatever this the name
Speaker 1: of the streaming service was. It was Netflix. Come on,
Speaker 1: let's be real. She seen the title then intrigued her
Speaker 1: and you know, the similarity of the person on it
Speaker 1: looked a lot like her. Of course it was you know, Salmahek.
Speaker 1: It was a different actor. But at the same time,
Speaker 1: it was like, huh, she kind of looks like me.
Speaker 1: And she watches the video and it's like, holy crap,
Speaker 1: this happened. This is the story of my life. Holy crap.
Speaker 1: You know, I mean, I just I don't like this,
Speaker 1: you know, I really don't like this. This is ruining
Speaker 1: my life. She ended up getting fired, she loses her boyfriend,
Speaker 1: I mean, the whole nine yards. She's like, holy crap,
Speaker 1: I don't like this. I'm not a fan. And she
Speaker 1: tried to fight back, didn't she. She went to Netflix.
Speaker 1: She's like, hey, you know, you guys can't do this,
Speaker 1: and they were like, well, actually, precautionary tale to you know,
Speaker 1: read the fine print, you know, read the terms of
Speaker 1: service agreement, because what she claims she didn't do, she
Speaker 1: actually did. She agreed to let Netflix use her likeness,
Speaker 1: use her story to you know, using you know, all
Speaker 1: this metadata and all the information that they gathered in
Speaker 1: order to recreate the story of her life, and of
Speaker 1: which case she wasn't. She didn't like this. She was
Speaker 1: pretty upset about it. But because she was an individual
Speaker 1: roughly well basically powerless to do anything to change anything,
Speaker 1: she she went above and beyond, didn't she. I mean,
Speaker 1: holy crap, I mean that was just absolutely hilarious to
Speaker 1: watch this episode play out. It was so funny, very
Speaker 1: enjoyable to watch on this one. You know, it really was,
Speaker 1: you know, and she figured that if she couldn't do anything,
Speaker 1: maybe salmaheat could do something, so she felt that, you know,
Speaker 1: the best way to go about doing would be to
Speaker 1: well do some things that Salamahek would not like and
Speaker 1: get her ticked off in the process. That's where this
Speaker 1: episode went phenomenal. And then you find out it's a
Speaker 1: similation within assimilation, within assimilation several layers deep. So the
Speaker 1: question I got for you is, you know, how close
Speaker 1: do you think we are to being able to utilize
Speaker 1: this technology, this type of technology, how you know, with CGI,
Speaker 1: with deep fake, with being able to recreate accurately and
Speaker 1: realistically somebody's voice.
Speaker 2: I mean, how far away do you think we are?
Speaker 1: Because I quite honestly think that we're We're probably there
Speaker 1: more so than what we would want to give credit
Speaker 1: to that. Yeah, they could do this, if they really
Speaker 1: wanted to, they could probably do this, you know, I
Speaker 1: mean maybe not necessarily a full on you know, it
Speaker 1: looks and acts like reality, but like definitely in an
Speaker 1: aspect where you're making like a you know, with with CGI,
Speaker 1: like a live action cartoon type of a thing, you know,
Speaker 1: like a like a realistic type of a video game,
Speaker 1: you know, recreating it on that level though that one
Speaker 1: I can see more so than it actually looking real.
Speaker 1: But at the same time, who knows, you know, So,
Speaker 1: how how far away do you think we are something
Speaker 1: like that?
Speaker 2: You know?
Speaker 1: Do you think we're pretty close to it? How many
Speaker 1: years away do you think it is? Five years, ten years,
Speaker 1: I don't know. And if you were in jones shoes,
Speaker 1: if one day you turned on Netflix, then you've seen
Speaker 1: a new series that was the story of your life,
Speaker 1: how would you feel about it? Would you be man?
Speaker 1: Would you be upset? Would you be ticked off? You know?
Speaker 2: I mean?
Speaker 1: Would it ruin your life? And what would you do
Speaker 1: in retaliation? Would you do what Joan did? I mean,
Speaker 1: holy crap? I mean I for me, it was like
Speaker 1: it was like, dude, yeah, I can see me doing that.
Speaker 1: I know how I am. I've met myself. I'm a
Speaker 1: little on the cuckoo side. I'm a little crazy, I'm
Speaker 1: a little unhinged. I would do some crazy stuff to
Speaker 1: get back and make somebody mad. Absolutely, I could easily
Speaker 1: see myself doing that. Would you be the same way
Speaker 1: or would you try to change your behavior to make
Speaker 1: it more socially acceptable?
Speaker 2: Maybe? I don't know what would you do? Let me know.
Speaker 1: Down in the comments? Send me an email ho at
Speaker 1: Blackmair podcast dot com. Definitely, I want to know. I
Speaker 1: want to know your take. The next episode they did
Speaker 1: was Lock Henry. Now this one okay, okay, look, I'm
Speaker 1: I'm mid forties. I'm of the generation that you know,
Speaker 1: we we made the rules, right, you know, and this
Speaker 1: one it didn't really surprise me. I kind of seen
Speaker 1: it coming, you know, with the mom being involved in
Speaker 1: these murders that happened at Lock Henry, it didn't surprise me.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 1: The twist that I wasn't really expecting was that both
Speaker 1: parents were involved. I kind of figured that, you know,
Speaker 1: it would have been you know, the dad died because
Speaker 1: he found out and the mom killed him. That's what
Speaker 1: I was kind of expecting. That was the direction. I
Speaker 1: kind of figured it was going to go. The surprise
Speaker 1: wasn't that the mom was involved. For me, that the
Speaker 1: surprise was both parents were involved.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 1: Now again, you know, my.
Speaker 2: Generation were the ones that we had know, uh.
Speaker 1: Oh what movie well, okay, scream, you know where they
Speaker 1: lay out the rules to a horror movie and of
Speaker 1: which case. Yeah, you know, whenever you watch enough movies,
Speaker 1: when you watch enough TV series, you kind of pick
Speaker 1: up on the rules, right, you know, you because they
Speaker 1: all follow the same basic pattern, the same basic plot line.
Speaker 1: I mean, granted, they all put their own spin, they
Speaker 1: all put their own twist, but it's still a lot
Speaker 1: the same pattern. You know, A romance follows a pattern,
Speaker 1: A comedy follows a pattern, A rom com follows a pattern.
Speaker 1: A horror, suspense, thriller, they all follow a pattern. An
Speaker 1: action movie, they all follow a pattern. And once you
Speaker 1: know the genre of the movie you're watching, it's it's
Speaker 1: really easy to kind of predict what's going to happen.
Speaker 1: But we had movies like Scream where the whole point
Speaker 1: was to break the rules. We had a lot of
Speaker 1: different things where it's like, yeah, it established the rules,
Speaker 1: the rules were made clear, and yeah, so I mean
Speaker 1: Lock Henry really didn't do a lot to surprise me,
Speaker 1: but they still did a pretty good job with it.
Speaker 1: They really didn't, you know. They they added their little,
Speaker 1: their little version to it, their little twist to it.
Speaker 1: You know, because you had a son and his girlfriend,
Speaker 1: Davis and Pia. You know, they're going back home. They
Speaker 1: learn or at least the paya pia, however they pronounce it.
Speaker 1: I don't even remember, you know, they they find she
Speaker 1: finds out about this story and she's like, oh, we
Speaker 1: should do a documentary based off of that for their
Speaker 1: their class, their taking of course they're taken in college
Speaker 1: and going through the whole thing, doing the research, finding
Speaker 1: the VHS down in the basement, finding out that the
Speaker 1: mom and the dad were involved in it. Holy crap.
Speaker 1: I mean, it was just it was neat what I
Speaker 1: mean it was. It was a good episode. I liked it,
Speaker 1: you know, I really did. It was a good episode.
Speaker 1: Then you had Beyond the Sea, and holy cow, this
Speaker 1: episode was on a whole new level. Now again, I
Speaker 1: want to ask you because anymore, like I said, we
Speaker 1: don't really have science fiction anymore. It's more of science fantasy,
Speaker 1: you know. I mean with the advancements in robotics, I mean,
Speaker 1: how far away do you think we are from the
Speaker 1: aspect of you know, having life size, life like robotics,
Speaker 1: you know, I mean you look at where where robotics
Speaker 1: is at what the newest robot that Tesla released, I mean,
Speaker 1: holy crow, that that thing is. You know, between have
Speaker 1: you seen the movie I Robot with Will Smith? You know,
Speaker 1: you have the older robust that they're getting rid of
Speaker 1: and then the newer robusts that are more you know,
Speaker 1: the facial expressions, more lifelike, you know, they move a
Speaker 1: lot better, you know, And you got the new Tesla robot.
Speaker 1: I don't remember what the name of the robot was,
Speaker 1: but you had that new Tesla robot and it's kind
Speaker 1: of in between those two robots on I Robot and
Speaker 1: it's like, huh, I really hope that that Elon Musk
Speaker 1: does a much better job with the three laws than
Speaker 1: what they did in that robot, you know, just saying,
Speaker 1: just throwing out out there. So how far do you
Speaker 1: think we are away from actually being able to make
Speaker 1: robots that move, walk, talk, can do that, you know,
Speaker 1: replicas like that?
Speaker 2: How far away do you think we are? Five years,
Speaker 2: ten years?
Speaker 1: That wouldn't me personally? I don't.
Speaker 2: I don't.
Speaker 1: I don't know, I really don't. And then you have
Speaker 1: the other aspect of the show of being able to
Speaker 1: you know, transmit one's consciousness and being able to you know,
Speaker 1: get the tax tile sensations of the robot that you're in.
Speaker 1: How far away do you think we are from something
Speaker 1: like that? Because that's the one that would be awesome.
Speaker 1: I mean, it really would be, especially whenever you're looking
Speaker 1: at the scenario that they use it, you know, having
Speaker 1: it to where as somebody who is away from home
Speaker 1: long periods of time, like space travel, that they can
Speaker 1: still go back home, transfer their consciousness to a replica,
Speaker 1: to a robot back home, and still be able to
Speaker 1: live their life as if they never left, like they're
Speaker 1: just going to work. How awesome would that be? I mean,
Speaker 1: the use case on that I thought was just outstanding
Speaker 1: because you know, I'm a truck driver. You know, it's
Speaker 1: being away from home, especially whenever you have a family.
Speaker 1: It's just it throws a thowse are wrenching things, you
Speaker 1: know what I mean. And it's the toll that it takes.
Speaker 1: It is not for everybody. But let's say you were
Speaker 1: able to transfer your consciousness to a replica. Well that
Speaker 1: just changes the game, doesn't it.
Speaker 2: And this story was.
Speaker 1: Pretty stinking cool because you know, I mean, I the
Speaker 1: two main characters, Cliff and David transferring their consciousness to
Speaker 1: a replica back home, still being able to live life
Speaker 1: with their family, and a let's see David. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: had to look up the name and read a B David.
Speaker 1: You know, whenever they're out in about somebody who is
Speaker 1: totally against this type of technology. You know, they followed
Speaker 1: them home and they kill his entire family, kill his replica,
Speaker 1: and holy crap, you know the dark place that David
Speaker 1: goes into, it's like, holy cow. I mean, did you
Speaker 1: feel for David's character in this movie episode? I'm sorry
Speaker 1: I keep calling in a movie. It's a mini movie,
Speaker 1: it really is, but did you feel for his character?
Speaker 1: I mean, holy cow? I mean I couldn't even imagine
Speaker 1: the pain that David was going through. I really didn't.
Speaker 1: And Cliff and his wife Lena just just trying to
Speaker 1: help out David by allowing him to be able to
Speaker 1: still even though it's not his replica, it's not his family,
Speaker 1: but still allowing him the ability to get off the
Speaker 1: space station and experienced nature and life back on Earth.
Speaker 1: And it's like, you know, trying to help him out.
Speaker 1: It's like wow, you know, no good d goes unpunished, right,
Speaker 1: you know, no good Ded goes unpunished. And then David
Speaker 1: just losing his mind, killing his you know, cliffs entire family,
Speaker 1: and Cliff more or less being stuck now with David
Speaker 1: up on that space station, no reprieve and let's see
Speaker 1: and David knowing that whenever he returns to Earth, if
Speaker 1: he returns to Earth, which it doesn't really make that
Speaker 1: one clear as to as to how long they're going
Speaker 1: to be out, or at least if it does. I
Speaker 1: don't remember knowing that when you get back you're going
Speaker 1: to jail because of what you did.
Speaker 2: You know that one.
Speaker 1: It was a good episode. It was dark though, wasn't
Speaker 1: it wasn't it dark man?
Speaker 2: So how far away do you think we are to.
Speaker 1: That kind of technology, you know, from being able to
Speaker 1: transfer one's consciousness to a replica ten years, fifteen, twenty
Speaker 1: do you think you'll see it in your lifetime? Because
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 2: On that one.
Speaker 1: I'm kinda like, I don't think so. I think that
Speaker 1: one we might be a little bit farther away from
Speaker 1: even even having replicas like that one, you know now?
Speaker 1: That one actually, actually it kind of reminded me a
Speaker 1: little bit of I think it was what season two,
Speaker 1: I think it was Season two? Yeah, be right Back,
Speaker 1: you know, beyond the Scene kind of reminded me a
Speaker 1: little bit of be right Back, the first episode of
Speaker 1: season two. But with that one, it was a whole
Speaker 1: new level of creep. I mean it really was. I
Speaker 1: mean that one was just trippy. That was trippy. Watch
Speaker 1: that one again the next episode that it was mazy
Speaker 1: Day and that one. You know, that one kind of
Speaker 1: kind of took me for a loop, you know, because
Speaker 1: I was expecting a precautionary tale on two different levels.
Speaker 1: You know, I was expecting the whole you know, the
Speaker 1: toll that it takes on somebody whom is a Papa Rozzi,
Speaker 1: that your whole entire livelihood revolves around you getting the shot,
Speaker 1: you know, something that is very important to these people
Speaker 1: doing anything that they can to get the shot. And
Speaker 1: then a precautionary tale on you know, somebody whom is
Speaker 1: a celebrity, and the toll that that would take by
Speaker 1: having your entire life right there in the limelight, with
Speaker 1: people following you around taking pictures, you know, to where
Speaker 1: you have zero privacy. But that's not the story we got, though,
Speaker 1: is it. Instead we got a monster movie because Mazie
Speaker 1: Day wasn't like just any celebrities. She was a werewolf.
Speaker 1: It was pretty stinking cool because Mazie Day, she disappears.
Speaker 1: I forget how long I'm kind of reading through the
Speaker 1: thing real quick. I don't see it, but anyway, you know,
Speaker 1: they're putting out a reward for pictures of her, and
Speaker 1: then the paparazzi gal she you know, discovers where she's
Speaker 1: at because she she spent like quite a bit of time,
Speaker 1: you know, out of the business of being a paparazzi
Speaker 1: because that happened, you know, her relentless getting the shot
Speaker 1: or she's seen something. I don't completely remember how it
Speaker 1: ended up playing out, but she got out of the biz,
Speaker 1: you know, and and but she still had her contacts.
Speaker 1: She got out of the biz. She she was going
Speaker 1: a different route. And then next thing, you know, this
Speaker 1: huge amount of money for getting the picture, she goes
Speaker 1: back into it. She tracks down Mazie day. She finds
Speaker 1: her in a hospital, thinking that it's just a hospital
Speaker 1: that specializes in rehab, but it's not trying to do
Speaker 1: the right thing and set her free, coming to find
Speaker 1: out what Mazie they really is a werewolf. Holy crap.
Speaker 1: And and you know, I gotta, I gotta, I gotta
Speaker 1: be honest with you on this. The ending was good,
Speaker 1: how they ended that episode, it was good, but I
Speaker 1: was disappointed not in how they ended it. You know
Speaker 1: that That's not what disappointed me. What disappointed me was,
Speaker 1: you know, the the paparazzi in the end, with the
Speaker 1: horrors that had just got done playing out her redirecting
Speaker 1: her her her life, choices to take a different path
Speaker 1: after seeing just how how much it can hurt you,
Speaker 1: how much it can hurt the celebrity, you know, the
Speaker 1: mental toll that it takes. With her knowing all of this,
Speaker 1: she still chose to take that picture. That one kind
Speaker 1: of got me. I was a little disappointed in her.
Speaker 1: Not in the episode itself. I mean it was it
Speaker 1: did a good job with that episode, but it was
Speaker 1: still of a man.
Speaker 2: Man.
Speaker 1: So with that one, would you have taken that? Would
Speaker 1: you have taken those same steps? Would you have taken
Speaker 1: that shot if you were in the paparazzi's place, if
Speaker 1: you were in her shoes? Would you have been able
Speaker 1: to take the shot, to take the photo during something
Speaker 1: like that, in that place, at that time, would you
Speaker 1: have been able to do that? Because me, I don't know,
Speaker 1: because I mean, you know, by this time, she already had,
Speaker 1: you know, the picture that they went there to get.
Speaker 1: She already had the thirty thousand dollars, you know, I mean,
Speaker 1: in her team, her friends that went with her, I
Speaker 1: believe they had already died at this point. So, I mean,
Speaker 1: it's it was a you're not even in competition with
Speaker 1: somebody else to get the shot. The thirty thousand's already yours.
Speaker 1: Would you've taken the shot?
Speaker 2: Man?
Speaker 1: I mean, I would like to say that I wouldn't have,
Speaker 1: you know, I would like to say that, But if
Speaker 1: I was actually put in that situation, I don't know.
Speaker 1: I can't. I can't answer that one. I can't answer
Speaker 1: that one. The next one, the last episode of the
Speaker 1: season was Demon seventy nine. Now, this one again, I
Speaker 1: really liked this episode. They took it a different direction
Speaker 1: than what I was expecting, because I was really expecting,
Speaker 1: you know, considering Demon, I wasn't surprised that there was
Speaker 1: a demon in this one. But with Demon, I figured
Speaker 1: that they would balance it out by putting an angel
Speaker 1: in there, you know, I really did. That's kind of
Speaker 1: what I was expecting. That's not what I got. And
Speaker 1: in all honesty, if they would have done it the way,
Speaker 1: you know, by throwing an angel in there, it just
Speaker 1: wouldn't have worked. It would have thrown the whole thing
Speaker 1: out because what was important about this episode was the
Speaker 1: existential crises that were going on, right, That's the one
Speaker 1: that was that was wow. You know because now through circumstance,
Speaker 1: there's no fault of your own. You are put in
Speaker 1: a position where you have to make a choice, a
Speaker 1: choice to either do nothing and millions of people die,
Speaker 1: or you take action and few people die. In the
Speaker 1: existential threat or the existential crisis being the you know,
Speaker 1: a crisis of morality that you know, the moral of
Speaker 1: the of the whole thing is is sacrificing the few
Speaker 1: to save the many. The moral dilemma that is being
Speaker 1: played out in this episode. Amazing episode. It really was
Speaker 1: a very very good episode, just the existential crisis, the
Speaker 1: the the conflicts that are going on within you know,
Speaker 1: the main character what was her name, Nita? Just wow,
Speaker 1: this episode was was really cool. You know, the existential crisis,
Speaker 1: the moral dilemma. What would you have done if you're
Speaker 1: in a situation where it is that choice to take
Speaker 1: action sacrificing the few in order to save the many,
Speaker 1: because if you do.
Speaker 2: Nothing, the many dies.
Speaker 1: If you if you take action, then it's the few.
Speaker 1: Which would you do? Would you be able to sacrifice
Speaker 1: the many in order to save the few, because in
Speaker 1: this one, you know me, it's an aspect of you know,
Speaker 1: there's no there's no good You know that there's the
Speaker 1: lesser of two evils, but there's no good choice because
Speaker 1: if you don't do anything, you're making the choice to
Speaker 1: do nothing, and of which case many people die. If
Speaker 1: you take action, you have to put action to a
Speaker 1: decision and make a choice, and that choice will end
Speaker 1: up ending the life of a few or one. However
Speaker 1: you want to put this dilemma, and in the episode
Speaker 1: it's a few, Huh would you be able to do that?
Speaker 2: You know?
Speaker 1: Now, again, logically speaking, I would say absolutely, you take action,
Speaker 1: you sacrifice the few to save the many. Absolutely, logically speaking,
Speaker 1: that's the only right answer in this. But whenever it
Speaker 1: comes time to put actions to words, would you be
Speaker 1: able to do it? Which do you think would be
Speaker 1: the decision you should make? In which decision do you
Speaker 1: think you would be able to make? The two questions
Speaker 1: in on that one. So, now that we've gone through
Speaker 1: and we've discussed every single one of the episodes through
Speaker 1: those in there re asking the questions, let me ask
Speaker 1: you this, how would you rank these episodes, all five
Speaker 1: of them. Where would you put them?
Speaker 2: Now?
Speaker 1: For me?
Speaker 2: Number five I had to put in.
Speaker 1: Is lock Henry? All right? Episode what two in this season?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Lock Henry? You know, I just it was a good
Speaker 1: episode of really was and this okay, let me put
Speaker 1: this one out there, because every one of these episodes
Speaker 1: were really good and like in all honestly, I had
Speaker 1: to start off with number five instead of going from
Speaker 1: you know, whenever I wrote this list out, instead of
Speaker 1: going from favorite to least favorite, I just kind of,
Speaker 1: I mean, it was kind of a toss up in
Speaker 1: several ways. Lock Henry just ended up being number five
Speaker 1: because of all the episodes, this is the one that
Speaker 1: surprised me the least. It was. You know, it was
Speaker 1: just too predictable.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 1: That's not to take away from the episode itself, because
Speaker 1: it was still a good episode. It's worth watching, but
Speaker 1: there wasn't really any surprises in it. Nothing that just whoa,
Speaker 1: you know, there wasn't any of that, you know, good episode,
Speaker 1: but it just wasn't whoa kind of it.
Speaker 2: Huh.
Speaker 1: But that's about it, you know. So number five for
Speaker 1: me was lock Henry. Number four was Mazy Day. Now,
Speaker 1: don't get me wrong. This this episode was phenomenal. You know,
Speaker 1: they really did a good job with it. I liked
Speaker 1: the storyline, I liked the twist that they threw into it.
Speaker 1: But I had to rank this one at number four.
Speaker 1: Maybe you disagree, maybe you agree, but I had to
Speaker 1: put this at number four because Demon seventy nine, that
Speaker 1: one was the one that, you know, with the existential crises,
Speaker 1: with the absolute moral dilemma that they threw in their
Speaker 1: multiple moral dilemmas they threw in there, that's the one
Speaker 1: that I mean, that one is truly a solid number three.
Speaker 1: I really liked that episode, I really did. And the
Speaker 1: number one spot, we're skipping number two because then it
Speaker 1: wouldn't be a surprise which one's number one, So the
Speaker 1: number one position goes to Da Joan is awful because
Speaker 1: this one, you know, it was more in the realm
Speaker 1: of science fantasy, not science fiction. With the advancements that
Speaker 1: we have had in computers, in computer processing, with quantum computing,
Speaker 1: with deep fakes, with you know, with being able to
Speaker 1: recreate recordings and and everything else, in order to make
Speaker 1: something like this, I mean, this one to me just
Speaker 1: seemed like it was well more within the realm of
Speaker 1: possibility than what any of the other episodes in season
Speaker 1: six had. I mean, it's just the possibility in this one,
Speaker 1: and they you know, just just throwing the you know,
Speaker 1: the technology into it with with how over the top
Speaker 1: some of these you know, some of the scenes were
Speaker 1: it were it had that comedy factor in it.
Speaker 2: I mean, it was just it was overall an.
Speaker 1: Excellent episode on multiple levels.
Speaker 2: This one was.
Speaker 1: An easy number one, bringing number two to Beyond the Scene.
Speaker 1: Now Here's kind of the thing though, I mean, two,
Speaker 1: three and four on my rankings, you know, two being
Speaker 1: Beyond the C three Demon seventy nine, and four being
Speaker 1: Mazy Day. It was really close on all of those.
Speaker 1: I mean, I gotta be honest, it was a really
Speaker 1: tough decision.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 1: I think the middle one kind of went to seventy nine,
Speaker 1: Demon seventy nine. The number two slot was was kind
Speaker 1: of more of a toss up between Beyond the Sea
Speaker 1: and Mazy Day because you know, two, three and four
Speaker 1: was just it was a difficult one, It really was.
Speaker 1: It really was. You know, So let me know where
Speaker 1: you thought these different episodes ranked. Let me know, let
Speaker 1: me know down in the comments. But the best way
Speaker 1: to do that would be to email me ho Ho

Speaker 1: I do this for you, you know, I mean, granted,
Speaker 1: I'm I love psychology. I really do the human factor
Speaker 1: in all of it, you know, because, as I've stated,
Speaker 1: Black Mirror to me is you know, it's it's interaction, right,
Speaker 1: It's it's how people interact with people. It's how people
Speaker 1: interact with technology, and it's how people interact with people
Speaker 1: through technology. There's so many different things that they throw
Speaker 1: in here, with the existential crises, the moral dilemma, the
Speaker 1: you know the possibilities of of us using the technology
Speaker 1: they are talking about in the episodes. It's it's a
Speaker 1: Holy Colt kind of thing. But I want this to
Speaker 1: be interactive, I really do, you know, because it's it's
Speaker 1: it's interesting to me, and I hope it's interesting to you.
Speaker 1: And I thank each and every one of you for
