So two things about Clockwork Orange: for one its important to note that it was less Alex realized his faults and more accurately he got bored and decided to try things out Petes way. Once he got out of jail he learned his friend who continued his life of crime died not long after the fact while the one who gave up that life and tried to live like a good person is actually happy, meanwhile Alex is now an adult man still running with teenagers. The other thing was actually the purpose of that last chapter, being that it is meant to hammer home the message that someone can't be forced t be a good person but has to choose it on their own. Being tortured into being good reverted after a while, but choosing to actually be good of his own accord sticks. That also has to do with a message about maturity since the reason Alex liked being cruel so much was he was 15 years old and was too inexperienced to know better, meanwhile his friends who were older all decided that ultraviolence was pointless years ago

​@@marinemanaphy101 I saw an argument on Tumblr that Divergent was the last of that style of YA dystopia, because it lays bare the formula of the whole thing. The protagonist has no traits apart from strong-willed that might get in the way of people projecting onto her. She is dainty and beautiful, despite her insisting otherwise, but can still fight bigger opponents. She is a perfect mask for the tweens you're marketing to wear. The book needs something perversely appealing, the way the Hunger Games were the draw for those books, so the government puts everyone in Harry Potter houses based on their one(1) personality trait or career aspiration. And of course the protagonist, and most readers, will be drawn to the cool and brave faction, the Dauntless, who play Capture the Flag and don't have to actually work. One of the Dauntless is a tall, attractive man to have tension with the protagonist. He is handsome and brooding, and that's all he needs to be. The villains are your classic dystopian government; polished, sleek, with a stupid plan that our heroes have to fight, led by the protagonist who's the only one ~brave~ special enough to fight them. The rest of the book is held together with duct tape and fanservice, and its success reveals how base and formulaic the YA dystopia genre is.

I just want to say that having Erik Voss is the thing that "Um, Actually" needed and I didn't know it needed. Seeing him winning is awesome... but missing the Octan logo... unforgivable.

Um, actually... It's not so much that Logan "attempts a run", he's sent by the AI that runs the Sandmen and the age monitoring to investigate a route that runners have been escaping through. I mean, technically, he's "attempting a run", but the way you put it it sounds like he's just a runner, that he lost faith in the system, when in fact, he serves as something of a double agent for a good chunk of the story.

You guys could pit together a trivia board game.

Just seeing the thumbnail makes me so happy 😊

Um actually in demolition Man the dystopia takes place in the late 90s the "Utopia" is 2032.

How nice of Eric and the other guy for not taking the woman's point for the Snowpiercer question. Most other contestants would jump at the chance. I love this show. I hope it keeps going for a long, long time!

Um actually Octan did not originate in The Lego movie, but it is a regional to the lego brand. It first appeared in a 1992 gas station set, and has continued pop up in many places where Lego wanted the generic brand, especially of gas stations

Um Actually, In the divergent series they are not given a faction based on their personality. They are given a recommendation based on their personality, but they can choose whichever faction they want. Which is also stupid.

Um, Actually... I don't know if he knew, but Trap was actually pretty close to correct about Toy Story being the rise of the Toys against Humans, at least if you subscribe to the Pixar (Connected Universe) Theory

Um, Actully, OcTan cannot be called corporation from "LEGO Movie", it was designed for LEGO sets more than 40 years ago.

Um, actually, while the Octan brand existed in Lego sets, it didn't have any _lore_ before the Lego Movie.

I knew the correction to the Purge question because I saw the video "College Humor does The Purge" in which it comes up.

They recorded this episode in 2020 never expecting anyone to be alive in 2022 to see it 😂😂😂

That Valley girl voice, on point!

I firmly believe every Amity farmer is actually an Amity-Dauntless Divergent, because farmers are the most reckless, fearless people I know.

Eric Voss absolutely slaying... yes sirrrr!

Ah, dystopia, I might know some stuff. Man, what does that say about me...?

I would be afraid and at the same time amused to compete with Erik, he is an alive nerd wikipedia

Um actually, the line is: You get nothing! You lose! Good day sir!

DC Piercen looks like the pianist from Glee they ignored into oblivion

Um actually the purge correction is correct except in one movie where the exception for government officials is overturned (purge election year) in order for one candidate to have the other assasinated.

As an addition to the portmanteaus animals, we actually do have coywolves (coyote wolf hybrids) and pizzlies (polar grizzly hybrids) so it seems we would come up with that.

um actually, in the divergent series there is a secret sixth faction for all of the factionless people in the city

I'm low key grateful Mike dates the video at the end because fuck me but those dystopia feels don't let up.

It’s awesome seeing DC Pierson in this. My prediction is the game doesn’t actually start because Voss goes on a mindless rant about Mephisto for 36 minutes.

I only knew the answer to the Purge question because of the College Humor sketch. hahaha

Wauv... recorded in 2020 and released in 2022. Man that is some editing time 🤣🤣 Could we request you post the recording date in the description as well, so we at least have a chance to know how old it is, and also can compare if new information has come out after the recording of the episode ( notice I didn't write release since it apparently takes years to edit them and post )

The missing “in” in the Logan’s Run question is making my brain itch

It is about fricken time we got Erik on!!

Ahaha, I’m watching Son of Critch in the background and the grandpa is played by the same actor who plays Alex in a Clockwork Orange.

No one will ever believe me (except my wife, since we were watching together), but as soon as "Needs More Pixels" came up for the last shiny question, I said out loud "It's going to be Brazil"
