If LUKE CAGE has impenetrable skin, and He Does, then there's no realistic way to break him. OR IS THERE?!

BETTER CALL SAUL is one of my favorite shows on TV right now. However, there is one key character component that has always bothered me: Chuck's supposed Allergy to Electricity.

#10 - Disney LIED to You! (High School Musical)

When it comes to The Lord of the Rings, one of the most common questions circulated online is why didn’t Frodo just ride the giant Eagles to Mount Doom?

#13 - DEATH NOTE–How Deadly Was it?

Season 2017 - Episode 28 - Aired 8/31/2017

DEATH NOTE is my favorite anime series by a long shot, and that's because it really puts me in a moral quandary. Is KIRA a hero after all he's done?

But while we eagerly await more schezwan sauced adventures, there's a theory that's been brewing in the background, one that hits on one of my other favorite cartoons of all time -- Gravity Falls. Is Rick and Morty a continuation of Gravity Falls? Is a crossover between the Gravity Falls gang and Rick and Morty likely to happen soon?

When The Bee Movie and We Are Number One memes exploded on YouTube last year, the Internet proved once and for all how insanely meta it's willing to get for the sake of a great Meme.

Season 2017 - Episode 37 - Aired 11/2/2017

THOR: RAGNAROK is hitting theaters, giving us another epic Marvel movie that features our favorite heroes: The Avengers. This means The Hulk and Thor will yet again be featured in the same movie, giving us another chance to watch in awe as they enact astounding feats of strength. So far, Marvel hasn’t given a straight answer as to which one of these ultra-powerful heroes has the most brawn, even though they’ve gone head-to-head multiple times in the movies and comics. But that ends today, Loyal Theorists! With the power of math, science, and research, I will reveal which Avenger is strongest!

#22 - How Wonder Woman FAILED Us!

Season 2017 - Episode 29 - Aired 9/5/2017

WONDER WOMAN is Amazing for many reasons. It's a Superhero blockbuster starring a woman and directed by a woman, which is long overdue. However, the story is by a man who clearly needs a lesson in storytelling. That's right, Zack Snyder, I'm coming for you. This movie, for all it's spectacle, has some MAJOR logical flaws. I'm talking flaws so basic that the movie's entire story is undeniably impossible as a result. Buckle up, Theorists, we're about to explain why one of 2017's biggest movies defies all reason and logic!

Season 2017 - Episode 21 - Aired 6/21/2017

Like almost everyone ever, THE LION KING is one of my favorite Disney movies.

Can lions truly survive on a diet of just insects? Well hakuna matata, my friends, because I have found the answer!

#25 - How to LIVE FOREVER! The Science of Ghost in the Shell

Season 2017 - Episode 11 - Aired 3/28/2017

As a fan of both ghoulish specters and lignified cell walls I was SO EXCITED for Ghost in the Shell - until I found out that isn't what the title is referring to. Talk about false advertising. But seriously all joking aside, I am actually super excited for this film. I was a big fan of the anime, and am really looking forward to this live action reboot. But all the hype got me thinking about how possible creating "ghosts" actually is. And if so, is it actually worth it? I mean, wouldn't we just want AI? Well, actually maybe not. And we might be closer to realizing this potential than you might think.
