"God Doesn't Play Dice With The World" (short)

Two Takes ·

2024/01/01

Nothing is certain, and Einstein never fully accepted Quantum Mechanics, wanting a restoration of classical mechanics with definite research on how nature works, aiming to discover the fundamental laws from which the rest of the world sprang. The opposite of Oppenheimer's thoughts of it embodying new insights, Einstein concluded that randomness cannot be a fundamental feature of any theory. Much like the quote "God doesn't play dice with the world" Copyright to Two Takes

Matrix Theory (short)

Two Takes ·

2024/01/01

I always find it fascinating to see how terrifying the agents are in the Matrix. Their appearance has been seen in other films like Men In Black or The Adjustment Bureau, with their main objective being to protect something that is already there, whether that's Earth or a timeline of events, or even the Matrix itself. It's always about order, discipline and following a certain set of rules. But what I ask is why we have begun to present these intimidating but intriguing

The Minutemen Are Everywhere (short)

Two Takes ·

2023/12/28

Taking reference from real life, the Minutemen. a self-trained colonial partisan during the American Revolutionary War, is featured in Fallout 4, both being known for being ready 'at a minute's notice'. This goes even further in the Loki series, with the Minutemen concentrating on the literal message of the minutes for the Sacred Timeline, whilst protecting the Multiverse from chaos.

Conformity in Film (short)

Two Takes ·

2023/12/26

Conformity, we've seen it in many films in many ways. And sometimes, they make it obvious to the point of colour in clothes. Like Divergent, I Think We're Alone Now and even in The Discovery. The concept of specific colours to represent a class, places humans in categories, with the link of disassociation towards individualism, becoming something that holds importance in this supposed utopian society.

Blade Runner Theory (short)

Two Takes ·

2023/12/23

There's two scenes in Blade Runner 2049 that peaks my interest. The first, we see Agent K walking through the orange landscape until he comes across two statues of women with their mouths agape. The second when Joi repeatedly uses the word 'Joe' to name Agent K, especially when she says "you seem like a good joe". With us only having a glimpse of the Blade Runner Universe, it can theorised that the film A.I, with the statues at Rogue City and how the male gigolos are named

Stranded in Death Stranding (short)

Two Takes ·

2023/12/21

In the world of Death Stranding, it is understood that the line between the living and the dead is essentially a blurred one, if not a collision of two worlds. BTs, named Beached Things, entities whose souls are from the deceased, and come into existence when that soul fails to cross through the Beach (a corridor or path if you will) into the world of the dead, consequently becoming 'stranded' in the world of the living, with their connection to the other side maintained through an umbilical

Reality Vs RPG Games (short)

Two Takes ·

2023/12/20

It seems games like Horizon Zero Dawn and Death Stranding, certain post-apocalyptic RPG games, have tiny reflections of many different realities that connect it to ours. They are not predictions of what would happen under certain timescales, but rather concentrating on the decisions that ripple and collide with each other to make a different whole.

Death Stranding | The Spectral Earth (Pt.1)

Two Takes ·

2023/12/19

Hideo Kojima's creation of the game Death Stranding, even from the teaser trailers, made me curious from the start. Not by the game graphics, the music, or the fact that Norman Reedus is the main character, but by the strangeness of its creative world. I have played the game, to the point of completing it, but I still had questions about its origins and history. And so, I began to explore it, making this two episode analysis of the world of Death Stranding, with perhaps spoilers about the main

The Breakfast Club Theory (short)

Two Takes ·

2023/12/19

In The Breakfast Club, when the narrator sets the stage for each person to show up at detention, it's interesting to notice that unconsciously, they are all seated in arrangement of how popular they are. Claire and Andy at the front, respectively, with Brian and John in the middle, and Alison dead last at the end. Eventually, and perhaps without us noticing, they intermingle and switch seats, to the point that, in the end, we find them all sitting in a row, unified in their equality. Copyright

Oppenheimer - The Human Equation

Two Takes ·

2023/11/28

NOTE: Einstein's experiment is the Double Slit Experiment NOT Double Split. Under observation, we can change, become more polite or even more hostile. We take a breath and decide our outcome, predict the probability of success. We create things and share it, hoping for the right outcome. But what can we do if what we make is used in a different manner? What can we say about the consequences outside of our control? Would you accept it as your duty or become conflicted, never realising that

Joker | One Bad Day | Part Two

Two Takes ·

2023/10/24

This two parter series on the Joker franchise is a cinema essay that was done by my friend, Rob, and was based entirely by a intriguing conversation over the phone about the research I had found out about the character Joker. But Rob took it one step further, and this is his interpretation which I wanted to support. The concept was first forged by myself, the research was the both of us, the final written piece was done by Rob and now it's narrated by me. Copyright to Two Takes

Chronicle - This Isn't A Superhero Story

Two Takes ·

2023/07/04

We've seen films before that explore the teenager trope and their troubles, the high schooler and the mistakes and misfortunes in the classroom, blending it with the school environment. But what if it went further than that? The problems become bigger, internal struggles tend to break the balance and become external in force. Anger and frustration become a tool, and you find yourself becoming both the tormented victim and the cruel tormentor. This isn't a superhero story, but instead a

Hawkeye - The Man Before Ronin *REMASTERED*

Two Takes ·

2023/06/20

We all understand that Barton was an agent of SHIELD, introduced to us in Thor, but even then, we could tell that Barton was more than just his job. And when his family was introduced in Age of Ultron, everyone looked confused...except for Nat. Perhaps the most secretive avenger (tying with Nat), presents the idea of protection, because overall, Clint had his reasons. In his rare moments, we find him become the father figure, the caring friend, and the one that has everyone's backs. Copyright

Black Widow - The Woman Between The Lines *REMASTERED*

Two Takes ·

2023/06/13

Natasha Romanoff, Black Widow, after understanding some parts of her origin, has us perhaps empathising, if not, sympathising with her on some level. And this is where we can finally see her on her own, her strengths, her weaknesses, without being eclipsed by the other Avengers. However, Natasha getting to know them throughout her time on the team gave us, and them, the rare chance to meet the Natasha under the Black Widow; someone who is open minded and more importantly open hearted.

Oats Studios: ADAM (1-3) | Where Is Your Soul?

Two Takes ·

2023/06/06

Oats Studios will always have a soft spot for me, as I went down a YouTube hole and found Rakka by chance. Its design, its plot devices, its unique concepts of a dystopian world...it got me hooked. And like many, I enjoyed the fact that it didn't really have an ending. Neill Blomkamp, the director of Chappie, Elysium and District 9 has done some outstanding work. And so, because of this (and because it was suggested within the comments), I am back with this series, and so, we continue the Oats

Fight Club - I Am Jack's Lack Of Understanding

Two Takes ·

2023/05/16

Fight Club could be personified as being the perfect metaphor for doing things that seem painful or outside of your comfort zone, or even using the pain from these experiences as some sort of release, a distraction perhaps, from one's everyday life. But whatever interpretation you got from this film, in this episode, it's an exploration of the characters and the overarching themes of death, destruction and of course, a little bit of mayhem. Be aware that these are theories and actual

Idle Chat : That Fight Club Conversation

Two Takes ·

2023/05/16

My friend and I often have pretty good conversations about films on a semi-regular basis. And so, I thought I could share it with you. This one is about Fight Club BEFORE I wrote the episode of it, including our thoughts on the 1999/2000 era of films that seem to manifest the need of choice and truth, with a little dash of Gone Girl, Liberal Arts and Office Space. This podcast is sporadic in nature, with the audio unedited to make it more natural, so stay tuned for the next episode. Twitter:
