Hello internet. Welcome to Film Theory, where everything is all fun in games, until it isn't.

0:22.4

So it's been a bit of a hot minute since we last talked about spoopy, scary animatronics on this channel.

0:26.2

Over a year, in fact. It's a long time, especially when to consider that some other channels out there are able to get like a video a week out of that sort of stuff.

0:34.1

I mean, who do you think we are?

0:35.1

Game Theory! that sort of stuff. I mean, who do you think we are? Game theory. That said, there is a series that I've been wanted to talk about that scratches the same
