Hello, Internet.

Welcome to Film Theory, the show that knows that the secret to theorizing

was inside of you all along. And just to start, I'm sure many of you are probably a little bit

confused right now. Why did Matt Pat's voice suddenly drop a couple of octaves? Is this a true

crime podcast now? Well, not exactly. Obviously, I am not Matt Pat. My name is Lee. It's great to meet you.

I own four swords and I've lost a game of Mario Party to Vegeta. Well, his voice actor. He's a nice guy.

I've actually been working behind the scenes here on the theorist channels for going on 10 years now.

No joke, I was the third editor Matt ever hired all the way back in like August of 2014.

My very first episode was the Peach is Dead game theory, but I've since been able to keyframe my way out of the editor dungeon, and I've had a hand in film theory since the very beginning.

I've written or edited countless videos for the channels. Like literally, I tried to count them and I have no idea.

They all kind of just blur together at some point. Like, I think I did Gaster? Not Sands's Nest,

though. That was all Matt. Regardless, I know this is a big change, and I know it's a lot. I'd say

that this meme that's been floating around really kind of sums it up best. My time has come.

You must continue your journey without me.

What, what, what are you? What?

But something else that this meme reminded me of, the fact that Kung Fu Panda 4 is right about to hit theaters as of the time of writing.

And now that I've taken up the mantle of the film theorist, I can't wait to watch it.

In case you don't know, Kung Fu Panda is about Po, a panda obsessed with Kung Fu and the martial arts masters that live in his village.

Master Ugui, the Tortoise, the Furious Five, and Master Shifu, who is apparently a red panda?

Despite not having any traditional Kung Fu training,

Poe is named the Dragon Warrior that will gain limitless power,

much to the confusion and frustration of all the other masters.
