Cyberpunk Will Break Your Heart…Here’s Why You’ll Love It

[@all4god650]

I really like the analogy with the person who doesn’t want to leave prison. It’s been a while since I watched Edgerunners but it always seemed that although Lucy dreamed about going to the moon, she wasn’t actively pursuing it. David was the one who was working tirelessly for her to be able to achieve her dream. It makes me kind of rethink how I thought about the ending. Even though Lucy ends up on the moon without David, her life is probably much better than when she was still living in night city. Breaking away from the system can be good but you always have to leave people behind. It’s a wonderful point.

[@FrameOfMindBros]

Incredibly insightful, yeah heartbreakingly true though. Well put 👏🏻

[@captainstroon1555]

Bittersweet is one of the hardest emotions to evoke. Each tear shed because of a story, is a badge of honor for the storyteller. And yes, Edgerunners made me shed a tear or two.

[@FrameOfMindBros]

🥲👍

[@collecter343]

“What was their episode one?” What a simple but fantastic way of explaining why context matters when understanding someone.

[@Raddflyer]

"Almost everything can be boiled down to contrast" ....My spine tingled, so true. Like when someone uses "Juxtapose" 💓

[@FrameOfMindBros]

Great word that we need to start using more in these conversations! ☀️

[@MisterA744]

I believe contrast is ultra important when finding or creating (powerful) meaning and emphasis (special importance) in anything. Specificity is another crucial element. The complete opposite is a one-note stew of generic vagaries with a great lack of weight and perspective.

[@AkaDanielSan]

Like guts is one of my favorite characters but the story is so tragic

[@FrameOfMindBros]

💯😭

[@Melina_Evarblume_Seelie]

The end of the Golden Age Arc is so masterfully traumatic.

[@felipeveiga5807]

Man the light and the whole scenario in general is so well made, the conversation flow and insights are also so good im loving this podcast so much

[@FrameOfMindBros]

Wow! Thanks so much! 🙏 Stoked you liked it and can't wait to release the next one!

[@splat_42]

I would love to see this sort of conversation on more show please.

[@FrameOfMindBros]

Absolutely! That’s what we’re here to do 😁

[@ohboi8854]

The talk you guys had about hope and people around you really hit a certain part of my brain and i thought about so many of my old high school friends giving each other hope that in the end it will be fine.

[@FrameOfMindBros]

It’s amazing how if we have each other’s backs, most situations - even the really difficult challenges - will turn out ok. 👍

[@martinandreev5204]

Randomly got you guys on my feed a week ago. Been loving the content, such a perfect mix of film/storytelling and psychology. Feels like this podcast was made just for me. Cheers!

[@heinyboi]

Same here! I suddenly got recommended the character writing episode and I greatly appreciate the depths they go to in understanding the titular themes! As an editor and mograph artist, they really get me in a great mood to work more on my craft

[@FrameOfMindBros]

Amazing, thank you so much! It’s really encouraging to hear you’re enjoying it 😊🙏

[@FrameOfMindBros]

That’s awesome! 👏🤩 glad you found us 😊

[@palmsofscience8770]

been months since i seen the show and just the clip of the ending they showed has got me so sad.

[@FrameOfMindBros]

🥹😭

[@douglasalmeida2893]

I love how these bittersweet endings can make us look to the whole journey differently. Be it the fictional journey in the story, or your own.

[@FrameOfMindBros]

💯

[@MisterA744]

Did I mention that I love Edgerunners and really appreciate how you two made me more aware of some of the less tangible things it's doing so brilliantly and sublimely.

[@ingusbingus8750]

im not even into podcast, but this one is so good im watching all episodes

[@FrameOfMindBros]

Thank you! 😊

[@st.hugo42]

When I first watched your channel a few days ago, you guys had 68 subs - monkey brain part of me just had to chuckle whenn I added myself - and now .. that´s great, well deserved. This was again very stimulating and sympathic conversation. After Edgerunners today, Arcane comes to directly to mind as a great candidate for you two to tackle. Anyway, keep it up, looking forward for the next.

[@FrameOfMindBros]

Thank you! Congrats on being in the first 100 😊 Absolutely, Arcane has so many similarities in terms of how the story feels well told. ESPECIALLY one scene we might highlight…

[@Magnus_Effect]

One of the most intriguing podcasts I’ve listened to. Loved it

[@FrameOfMindBros]

Thank you so much! 🤩🙏

[@heinyboi]

Seeing psychology being discussed so in-depth with filmmaking put into it as well simply tickles my brain so much. Frame of mind is such a great, fitting name for a niche I haven't seen fulfilled yet. Love your conversations, the depths they go to, and how contrast adds nuance and beauty not just to stories, but to life itself. Can't wait to watch/listen to more while editing later!

[@FrameOfMindBros]

Thank you so much! It’s awesome to hear other people have a love for in-depth conversations that the two of us have as well 😊🙏

[@MisterA744]

I think you two would love the show Ted Lasso. "Be curious, not judgmental" is essentially the core of the show, and a great therapist character starts showing up in season two. It's three seasons long and actually complete. I'm not all that into football/soccer, but it was really easy for me to like and get engaged with the characters and story and grow to care about them winning and losing matches (among other things; it's about relationships and communication in many ways, not just to do with sport). I cannot recommend it enough.

[@anachronismic]

Newest video is what brought me here but this is such a good poscast concept keep going

[@FrameOfMindBros]

Thank you so much! We're planning on putting a lot more stuff out soon 😁

[@antisocial197]

In terms of crying to episode ratio Cyberpunk Edgerunners ties with Your Lie in April for me. I think the hardest/longest I ever cried from a show was when the going merry died. On sadness, a potential topic/starting point for a future episode is Yuji from JJK and what it means to be a main character/the difference between the hero (Yuji) and the villain (Mahito)

[@FrameOfMindBros]

Awesome episode idea!

[@MisterA744]

This is easily some of the best analytical and story talk content I've ever seen. Thank you for providing me with insights to help think about things I was already in process of figuring out more deeply and from other angles (as well as new nuggets to chew on). Would love to see you cover Princess Mononoke.

[@FrameOfMindBros]

Thank you so much! That is insanely encouraging to hear 😄 Princess Mononoke would be a great film to break down, adding it to the list

[@MisterA744]

@@FrameOfMindBros Awesome!

[@slayr698]

found this and enjoying so far, one main annoyance is the damn focus is right on your shoes and faces are out of focus, other than that i hope you guys get more traction, good conversations

[@FrameOfMindBros]

Haha, yeah that one was a dumb technical mistake, I focused the camera on Curtis (you can see he's sharper in the video) and then when I sat down didn't realize I was further away from the Camera than he was. Felt pretty silly when I watched the footage back but glad it didn't completely detract from the conversation 😄🙏

[@thebat4977]

I absolutely loved this show and hated the ending (in a good way) but I also never liked David and Lucy's relationship because I felt like it was super toxic so, when he died I wasn't upset for them but for him. In a way, I think the whole show from episode 1 is just tragedy, even in the happy fun moments it's still a gang of people who live a "terrible" life. So, when it ended I was more upset at how they never had a chance at a "good" life - Lucy going to the moon doesn't mean all her problems are gone just a bit of escapism.

[@FrameOfMindBros]

Definitely not a happily ever after, but sounds like, like us, you appreciated a different flavour of emotion that the show brings up in us ❤️

[@mwpretorius7913]

Another great episode, really cerebral and had my mind reframing things constantly.😉😜

[@FrameOfMindBros]

Awesome! Thank you 🙏

[@RobSomeone]

Great episode guys. Can we get an Arcane talk as well? Cyberpunk was easier to digest while I found Arcane had many more complex characters to break down that thinking back on it is harder to voice my thoughts and I'd love your perspectives.

[@FrameOfMindBros]

We absolutely want to do an Arcane episode in the future. That show was structured meticulously with some wonderfully nuanced characters. It’s near the top of a very, very long list of video ideas 😅

[@arnoldbkim]

Please watch the kdrama My Mister and talk about it. As an MFT student it touches on the human condition perfectly. The author of the Alchemist also called it a masterpiece

[@FrameOfMindBros]

Never actually heard of My Mister before! Sounds like we should check it out 😄

[@arnoldbkim]

Please do! The human emotion component and how it portrays the mundanity of life is so beautiful. I would love to hear your perspectives on it as a therapist and film maker

[@thefreerocketman5777]

I may or may not have binge-watched Edgerunners just so I could watch this video without worrying about spoilers

[@CreamyNic2]

only one thousand subs? damn. cyberpunk has left a mark on me like no other piece of media has, ever, and ive been trying to reach that same point again to no avail. so, instead, i want to know why, i want to know what it did right to get under my skin like it did, and you guys did a fantastic job. i love the mix of psychology and filmmaking is such a great vessel to analyse a story like edgerunners. i’d love for you to do a video on your lie in april, its another bittersweet story that also really left a mark on me. great work you guys, i thoroughly enjoyed this. well done

[@FrameOfMindBros]

Thanks so much! 🙏 glad to know there’s other people who this show impacted as much as us! There’s a few shows like You Lie in April, A Silent Voice, and Violet Evergarden that we will probably look at in the future, I’m just not sure we’re ready to cry THAT much yet 😭

[@monster-enthusiast]

Edgerunners, like Akudama Drive, is one of those stories that is amazing but not enjoyable to watch lol. I hate tragedy and all that sad shit. I need some hope. Phenomenal shows tho.

[@blanketman6470]

So funny story, i have the exact same full name as main character and when he dead at the end, all my friends were talking about how their gonna miss me and im like wtf im here 😂

[@FrameOfMindBros]

Glad you’re still here with us! 😅

[@MrGalRoz]

Stories with either sad or bitter-sweet endings are not something i like. it's depressing. sure it could be better story-wise and leave an impact, but it's not fun experience. maybe once in a while, but not always.

[@FrameOfMindBros]

Bittersweet stories definitely aren’t as palatable or easy to consume as happy endings, for sure.

[@Neropol14]

Will you do an episode where you talk more about different kinds of relationships in stories?

[@FrameOfMindBros]

100%! Our newest videos is actually about fatherhood in stories 😁 And plenty more after that 💁🏼‍♂️ hope you enjoy it!

[@felipe5horas]

I love this show. Perfection.

[@Magni87]

56:35 Wait. Are we still talking about media?

[@Joern-ir7dy]

Dropped this the minute I heard the show was forcing a tragic ending. Sad endings are for privileged people living in a sanitized world where there are so few threats to their well-being that they need terrible fiction to feel sad. What a fucking waste of an opportunity to make a good cyberpunk show
