1:47 inb4 YouTube killed thousands of "choose your on adventure" films and animations by removing the Annotations feature

I still feel like the Stanley Parable did this better

The important question is not whether to choose A or B, But whether you choose to play at all. The escape key is always right their as your secret third option.

That "true ending" is actually just an Easter Egg. If you run the audio of the Bandersnatch tape through a ZX Spectrum emulator, you get a QR code that takes you to the Tuckersoft Web site, where you can download Nohzdyve, the game Colin is working on at the beginning of the film.

As soon as I recognized the game was having me be an in-universe element to the story, I made a different choice. I started letting the timer run out on everything. After a certain point, as things deteriorated, the main character started claiming that he was being controlled due to the horrible things he was doing.
My response: "Nope, dude. I haven't done anything since you tried to rub your ear. Everything you did since then is on you."

So the big thing of Bandersnatch is the realization that you want to do things that aren't offered as choices? I guess that might a bit of an enlightenment for people that have never touched a game with choices before.
151 |
6:09 I thought about it, and simply closed Netflix instead of being forced to choose. I don't REALLY have to be forced to choose between bad choices, since I am in control of whether I experience it at all :D

isnt bandersnatch the last name of that actor who played doctor strange?

4:50 I love the "free will" statement with Will behind bars. Nice touch.

Stefan: "Someone from the future is watching me and giving me commands through a computer!"
John Egbert: "You are adorable."
MSPA Reader: "This guy is an amateur."
Seriously though, the story is good, but let's remember that Charlie Brooker and the other creators of Black Mirror always write stories with technologies that are more like magic than actual technology as a way to be alarmists about new technological trends. Seriously, some technologies in the Black Mirror universe would require violations of human rights to be possible even before the creation of the Cookies.

Okay who else missed the bandersnatch tape ending?

I've watched it 5 times now, with different people each time, and I have gotten a completely different experience each and every time. There was so much footage I missed the first time, it needs to be watched more than once

6:18 well you can just turn off the tv

I had a blast experiencing Bandersnatch with my family because they'd never seen anything like it before. I'm hoping to use it as a stepping stone to get them to try a FMV game.

Apparently Extra Credits always has a huge backlog of episodes to get through, yet has the time and ability to make something as relevant as a Bandersnatch episode.
23 |
Sounds like a cop out from the fact that adding meaningful choices to the narrative would simply make production overhead costs skyrocket. Giving the illusion of choice making while funneling viewers down the same linear storyline comes off as a gimmick in Bandersnatch's execution.
And I'm fine if Netflix wants to say "hey we're exploring this mechanic...have fun" and leave it at that...but to explain the ultimately linear storyline away as being some end goal is silly.
Of course people have choice (shooting or not shooting someone) which lead to truly different story paths.

I am so stoked you guys did this!

I played through the Black Mirror FMV.
I had really hoped you would talk about the five star ending where the main character said “I’ve been trying to give the player too much choice”

Isn't this more or less the exact same thing Spec Ops: the Line was doing way back in the day, only with a real-world veneer and less shock value?

We had a LOT of mixed thoughts about Bandersnatch that just didn't make it into this episode, so if you're interested in deeper analysis check out the Bandersnatch episode from Matt's podcast "The Only Podcast About Movies" here (heads-up: contains strong language): www.onlymoviepodcast.com/home/2019/1/7/196-black-m…
