Apologies about the audio quality, I recorded it exactly as I do with every other video (even with a pop filter) and still it came out a bit terrible. Looking forward to Metalhead analysis? I bloody am.

[@kennayy4394]

Metal head is probably the one I'm most excited to hear your analysis of, since it seems a lot of people seem to really dislike or or really like it.

[@anthonybeguiristain5160]

It’s not that bad, barely noticeable

[@Dephax]

Didn't even notice, also very thorough and interesting content. These videos of yours always make me think about the topics at hand. Keep up your good work :D

Great episode. What's the outro music in your video dude?

[@coyusarticus]

The real plot twist was having a good ending

[@mark6934]

Having watched black mirror and how dark it is, I predicted that they are going to die in each other's arms or something like that, like a bittersweet ending. I was pleasantly surprised. THIS is how a happy black mirror episode should be made. Unlike *cough* S5E3 *cough*

[@somerandomasshole4561]

@@mark6934 Agreed. The tone of Hang the DJ was so bleak that it was only expected that something would go wrong. But the revelation of the 2 being in a simulation that calculated the 2 having a 99.8% chance of compatibility in real life not only caught me off guard, but tied it up nicely and neatly, for once. S5 E3 on the other hand was just so un-black mirrorish. It felt like a shitty disney channel original movie, in that the happy ending was so predictable that the whole experience was ruined.

[@duck1ente]

I thought that they will both jump off the wall, dying together rather than be in eternity with someone you don't love.

[@Meow-ow6oh]

Yeah I thought it was a bittersweet ending, I kinda didnt get the ending though?

[@wii3willRule]

The ending included a huge ethical issue: if the hundreds of cookies used for the simulation have thoughts and feelings, how is it okay to forcibly terminate their existences for the benefit of two "real" people? I don't think it was a straightforwardly happy ending. It depends on whether you're totally convinced that the simulations are mere imitations and not actual, sentient beings.

[@sinyabun]

'Hang the Dj ' is also a sort of term when an audience wont be happy with a dj constancy switching music, instead of letting the good song play out. I think this is an obvious reference to our protagonists switching relationships constantly, when they just wish for their own to play out!

[@hollywoodshopaholic]

The acting from the two main characters in this episode was second to none. It felt so genuine and their relationship could pass as a real one. Highly impressed.

[@ebynmatthews]

@@bwmanhath3770 hell no! Those two in SJ felt so unrealistic.

[@ZENKETS]

Another proof they were living in a simulation was when Amy kept throwing the rock at the water and she was trying to figure out why she only makes 4 splashes no matter what she does, she even asked Frank does he ever get more or less than 4 ? Thought that was a cool way of showing proof they're in a simulation.

[@Kratos30000]

ZENKETS not rly tbh... The simulation could have simulated random splashes. Idk why they put "minor" flaws into this virtual reality. I mean, in the end the algorithm worked perfectly. It's incoherent to show that their system isn't perfect when they want to underlined how accurate it can actually be.

[@rubberducky2664]

I thought that was a very nice nod. I didn’t even notice that until you said it.

[@ZENKETS]

Rubber Ducky yeah I was thinking of how weird that was in the middle of watching the episode for the first time 😂 but now it makes sense.

[@hurricanestarang]

When she asked if Frank ever got more or less than 4, I figured she was talking about years spent with someone in the system, and had only learned people are in relationships for a 4 year maximum.. It said he had 5 years, so I thought frank kinda realized that he had something special, and was so upset only because he realized he ruined it by looking..

[@hrdkorebp]

Yeah but that was obvious

[@kosmokomic]

Did you notice that When She tells the coach to count to four It Happens At Exactly 44:44 In Episode 4 of Season 4? The Number Four seems to be a number of a great Importance since the Expire dates seem to be Most of the Times Multiples of 4

Bittersweet ending? The ending was 100% lovely.

[@unwholesomehelena]

I Do Monologues don’t you mean 99.8% lovely 🙃

[@issou59]

Well if you consider the cookies/simulations in Black miror to be sentient it's a bittersweet because the Frank and Amy we got attached too are doomed to just disappear (die) and at the end and never live their "post system" life And if you think the cookies or simulations are just codes, then it's also a bit bittersweet to know that none of the episode was real. And the real life Frank and Amy could turn out to be a much worse couple than the one we saw which was so beautiful (maybe they'll happen to be the 0.2% not working) or a much less in love one.

[@Madchimpz]

It's probably the happiest ending in Black Mirror, but it was kind of sad because all their interactions weren't real because it was just a simulation. But then they meet in real life anyway, with no restrictions.

[@slimkt]

To me, it's bittersweet in that, throughout the entire episode, the simulation Frank and Amy are taught that in order to show true love, they need to rebel against the system and rebel against the idea that the system knows your true love. Yet when real life Frank and Amy meet, they are doing the exact opposite and following/buying into that very system (ie. believing that the dating app can find you your near 100% match.)

[@gabia.575]

another bittersweet aspect of it is that they didn't beat the system, the couples' rebellion was the system's final test in order to prove their true love

[@gloriac9994]

My favorite scene from this episode was when Amy asks the "coach" to Count to 4 then skips her in the pool. Beautiful episode. ⭐️

My favourite episode of Season 4. The chemistry between the main characters just makes this episode so much fun to watch. The amount of sympathy you get from them what they go through is genuine and you want to see them get together at the end. Also playing Panic by The Smiths in the final scene just makes the episode perfect.

[@luchie2388]

Sooooooo much chemistry woweee!!

[@thecinematicmind]

The opening scene draws us to them immediately. Frank is clumsy and tries a bit hard to be funny, but Amy understands, goes along with his jokes, and doesn't mind minor problems. Chemistry like that is really rare.

[@benwasserman8223]

What I found interesting was that, despite simulation Frank and Amy rebelled against their technology system, real-world Frank and Amy might as well be compelled BY the algorithm to date one another

[@hongkong0730]

Ben Wasserman yea in a way, you can say the relationship between simulated Frank and Amy is more real than the one between Frank and Amy. It’s ironic considered the cookies have more free- will than the real pair

What I find crazy is that this dating technology essentially forces totally sentient cookies to endure millions of horrible relationships without any choice.

Yup, cause they were not Frank and Amy.

Felt no connection to the real life Frank and Amy, cause they are different people, I dont know anything about them.

[@theklayguy]

They are literally exact copies though. The simulated versions are based on them not the other way round.

I had a feeling it was a simulation when she noticed that the rocks always skipped 4 times. even when she threw the remote thing into the pool, it skipped exactly 4 times which i thought was a cool detail

[@edwarddam2428]

JHAWK997 what does a rock that skips 4 times has to do anything with a system.

[@willbaker6532]

Pro Ness it always bounced 4 timrs. No matter how hard or gently she threw it. Always 4. Never 2, 3, 5 etc. This would show that the simulation is programmed to always have 4. (Probably because the creators of the simulation viewed is as the perfect number of hits)

[@ddddoc7078]

good point. I took that to mean she figured it out and "count to four" was her way of saying "screw you" to coach

[@lightblue254]

If the simulants are perfect reflections of their real life selves with personalities replicated to a T, wouldn't this be a good way of exposing rapists? Or are the simulants still under strict control not to harm others

[@HarrysMovingMedia]

That feels very Minority Report but great question. I reckon that you answered your own question somewhat as somebody or something would stop things like that happening in THIS simulation. But if a set of simulations were designed to test if an individual would rape another (for whatever morbid reason one would have for doing so) then I would say yes; only in terms of finding one's innocence though. I wouldn't say they could be "exposed" as you say, but more to make judgement.

[@altobottomjeans5472]

I was thinking something similar while watching it, though I was thinking more domestic violence than rape specifically. My first thought when the concept "you're not allowed to leave a relationship" came up was what would happen if one of them was violent. I was a bit annoyed that they didn't address it at all, given how common it is and how much women dating men especially worry about our safety or protect ourselves. If "he makes a weird noise sometimes" or "she's grumpy" is the worst relationship the scriptwriters can come up with, it's surprisingly clueless of them.

[@nivolord]

I guess it would be in the same category as a lie detector. It shouldn't hold up in court on its own, but could be used as part of circumstantial evidence.

[@Roadent1241]

The Moon I still couldn't, even from this episode, understand why relationships focus on that action. Why do you need to know how good someone is in bed before you stay with them? Or why do they need to at all? This episode and series just digs that logic in. I was hoping for a cute fluffy episode, not a porno. I've been told that my purely romantic relationships are fake because of the no fuck thing.

[@Marblewho]

Roadent1241 Yeah I don't get why they focus so much on that, it's totally possible to fall in love without having sex. I actually find it more romantic that way, since you already feel a strong emotional connection once you do start having sex

[@steel2572]

@@Roadent1241 This is only the 4th BM episode ive watched so I cant speak for the rest of the series. But I dont think that was a message they were trying to give. Frank and Amy felt a connection without having sex during their first date. In fact all they seemed to need to do was to hold hands. Also if I remember correctly them having sex during their second date wasnt even shown or focused on. It seems to me that if anything theyre sending the opposite message. Another example that supports this is how Amy and her second date have great sex and dont end up being compatible.

Stunnzu at the end of the day, time doesn't mean all too much in a relationship if the two people really feel that it's right.

this->one, these-> many, this vid, these vids. I seriously wish people would learn things before they throw them out into the world. It's shitty enough as it is.

[@urruurru]

I literally looked up whether you had done an analysis on this episode earlier today, glad you uploaded this today

[@Syrite]

Definitely worth the thumbnail tease and the fact that's it's a day late, good job Harry

[@denaro572]

Damn I was waiting for this

[@ohnonotanothergachatuber1129]

I think this episode was really cute and it's defs one of my favorite episodes of Black Mirror. I love it when they have love stories that end nicely haha.

[@dread1262]

I wouldn't go that far. Some of it is cringe

[@janelleb902]

yes! what do you does matter !! I was so excited when I got the notification for this video, I love love your analysis of the black mirror series.

[@zacretzer]

My favorite ending to a Black Mirror episode. I love that the title is because it was the song playing when they met! And they actors were excellent and at the end they communicated “love at first sight” so beautifully

[@extremelyonline]

This was my favorite episode of the new season, and was also the first episode of the show that I watched

[@balthazarmayrena600]

This is my favorite episode by far. I smiled a couple of times

[@FelipeKana1]

Just met the channel and loved it. Keep up the good work

[@minn_e]

I don't know what bums me out more, the small number of black mirror episodes because I love the show or the small number of black mirror episodes because I love your analysis videos

[@KayS471]

Hang the DJ and San Junipero are two of my favorite episodes of the whole series, mostly because they make me feel good and not empty inside afterwards. However, I think I like the ending of Hang the DJ better. San Junipero’s ending was more bittersweet to me since I couldn’t let go of the fact that Kelly “deserted” her dead husband and daughter to be with Yorkie in a fake afterlife instead of passing on normally. At least in this episode both characters are on the same page at the end.

[@lilWhiteEmo]

Kay Cronin San Jup is garbage

[@korykent5645]

Why would you say she deserted them? Did she make a pact with her husband to pass normally? No, she didn't.

[@dread1262]

San junipero characters were annoying af

[@panspermiapancakes]

Technically, San Junipero is only a simulated experience inside of a "metaverse" and each time a person plugs themselves into the metaverse and spend time within it, the system is learning everything it can about your personality and is creating an exact blueprint of who you are as a person. When you're actually alive in the real world, they are only allowed to enter San Junipero on a limited time frame. But once you die, they release that digital blueprint into the metaverse permanently. In some ways, it's a simulated heaven, but ultimately, when you die in the real world, you're still going to cease to exist and if there is a heaven, you'd still pass on to it. If you decided to "stay" inside of the metaverse, it wouldn't actually be you anymore, just a digital file that looks, acts, and behaves like you would, in your early 20's. Or at least what you wished you had looked like, since it gives you an option to appear as your very best. Ultimately, Kelly still died in the real world and passed on, she just gave permission to keep her digital-self inside the metaverse. Dead Kelly isn't experiencing anything inside of San Junipero, it's just a digital copy of her personality.

At first I thought the wall around the park was a metaphor for setting in a long term relationship/ marriage, and the fact that people have grown scared of settling down has made them outsource the choices to a machine. Maybe I got that idea because I have seen The Lobster, which was very full of metaphors. The twist at the end was great though, and I was really impressed by the chemistry between the lead actors. Happy to see a happy ending in black mirror for once.

[@comethrough6810]

Dude, you content is fire. How do you not have at least a half a mil already?!!

[@iamabee4452]

I've legit just been waiting for this

[@fishynicky_]

Can't wait for your analysis of Black Museum

[@peach3987]

after watching an episode of black mirror i always go to watch ur videoes

[@MysterSer333]

It’s already happened! Loving your breakdowns. Keep it up thanks

[@Larry82ch]

Thanks for clearing up the meaning of the title for that episode! The confusion was pretty frustrating..

[@Pastafari4]

Honestly, favorite episode of the season

[@nabinashrestha7477]

I can kinda relate this episode not the stimulation part obviously. I met my bf on tinder and we met and felt a connection when we talked and saw eachother for the first time and we held the hand and i felt so good and safe. Now we're nearly together for 2 years and in a long distance and im so happy that i found him. I want to be with him forever. This episode made me in tears.

[@SeEun333]

Nabina Shrestha congrats on finding someone you love!

[@nabinashrestha7477]

Se Eun thank you 😊

[@commanderwaddles3483]

I found the person I wanna be with forever & feel upmost comfort, relaxation, & contentness with, but I wish I could have other dating experiences since he was my first serious relationship. I don't wanna ruin us though.

[@animefreak1149]

Same! That feeling of knowing someone like it’s happened before. I met my husband when we’re 14 and 15 and are still together 10 years later! When we both looked at each other, we knew we’ve knew each other in a past life. We’ve never gotten the same feeling ever except for each other. He’s like the center of the sun for me. Our love was born with the universe, it’s has no end or beginning it always was. We were made to love each other, I’ve never felt anything more otherworldly and undeniable. This episode gave me the chills…I know that feeling of having going through it over and over again with someone. We had to fight for our relationship too as our parents did not support. All we have is each other with everyone against us loving another.

[@jaboius]

this episode almost made me cry, definitely the best episode yet imo

[@bakedcookies1285]

I just loved this episode so much ugh

[@MoeDavinci]

One of the better episodes BM has done. The fact that is was a simulation this whole time wasn’t as big of a let down as some people may think. As they are both seen with each other at the end, implicitly showing that the true chemistry. The reason I like this episode is that it shows Black Mirrors range. The way this show can make you feel happiness, sadness, fear etc is remarkable. Although Season 3 is better (can’t beat San Junipero, Men Against Fire, Shut Up and Dance) ,this season still is good.

[@brios327]

Honestly my fav episode of the series

[@anotherjuan]

i love that you included a kurzgesagt clip at 8:22 in this episode review. i love hang the dj and kurzgesagt! 👍🏽👍🏽

[@karlyantonette399]

I honestly loved this episode, i think it’s my new favorite episode

[@WitchLunaEstrella]

I think the saddest part of this episode is that the simulation they went through doesn't really prove that their real-life counterparts will work out as a relationship. By creating such a rigidly controlled environment, the results are skewed because it's through those shared experiences under this regime that brings them so close to each other. Their real-life counterparts will be in a totally different environment in totally different situations, so the simulation doesn't really tell them anything about their compatibility in a real scenario.

[@DesignIncase]

The simulation seems to run through hundreds/thousands of simulations. So they could be varied enough that the folks who use the app have a long lasting relationship. The cookies have conversations and reactions like the real people would. It might not be they people doing a 9 to 5 job but it's enough for a reliable dating app.

[@Brie2230]

I had the same thought!!!

[@kiwthebeauty]

For the fact they go through 1000 simulations - is enough data a proof of compatibility. Out of the 1000 simulations together - only TWO didn’t rebel! Just two?!! So that’s a strong compatibility personality match up because no matter what scenario it seems like they would be attracted and mesh well together. I think that’s the point.
