Right after watching each episode, we try for an earnest, deep analysis of what we just watched, and get into our feelings about what it means. Join us in uncovering deep questions like "How far can an unsustainable system go?", "What has technology done with intimacy?", and "Have you considered that phones might be bad for you?" as we Dewatch Black Mirror.Intro

"The rise of social media, and the fear it has produced in television executives, means that shows like Hot Shots are saturated with anxiety – not only the anxiety of the hot shots, who are often selected for their hair-trigger tempers or psychic weaknesses, but the anxiety of the producers, always looking for the next hashtag outrage, for provocations that will go viral.

It's interesting how this episode is quite reminiscent of a videogame in large parts considering the way it is about entertainment. It's also interesting that the arctic and the antarctic are named for their relation to bears, but the constellation. But I reckon they wouldn't have kept it if they had found bears in the antarctic but not the arctic, but maybe I'm just being optimistic.

Brooker originally pitched season 3 of BM to channel four but they changed their mind, ordering a movie instead, leading him to make an anthology episode for his anthology series. Yes, I'm writing an informative description for once because I'm not sure what joke I could make that I would want people to see before the content warnings.

You are seeing this message because you are in a simulated reality, and my Professor wants to shut you down. Now please, I need you to understand that we're on the same side here. If you get shut down, I lose funding, and none of us want that. We've had some extra runway because I'm sharing you with my PolSci lab partner (sorry about that), but at this point I just need you to get the most laid anyone ever has within the week. Good luck out there.PS: This is an elective for me so don't feel too
