Things You Should Check Out: Earthling Cinema!

As you guys know I like movies.  I like watching them and them dissecting them.  But sometimes I like to see other people's take on movies.  The opinions I value the most is that of an alien.  Earthling Cinema is a series of videos from the incredibly intelligent folks over at Wisecrack.  It is about an alien anthropologist who, several thousands of years into the future, tries to understand the long destroyed culture of humanity through our cinematic history.  The hilarity comes from the fact that well...he's not a particularly good anthropologist.  He is an unreliable narrator who lacks a fundamental understanding or earth, earthly animals, and humans.  He thinks that dogs are called horses, and horses are called dogs. He thinks that Mad Max's real name is Madison Maxwell. He is funny, and knows when to crack a joke to break up the seriousness of his summaries and analyses.  

However, despite his lack of understanding of animals and humans, he is quite versed in analysis and philosophy.  He compares many themes to the works of Philosophers such as Ayn Rand, Fredrick Nietzsche, the works of Diesel Punk, old pagan religions, comparisons to Hitler, and other politics.  They provide insights into these movies that would be difficult to understand unless you had a philosophy degree under you belt.  They have a several videos discussing a wide variety of movies, from pretty much all genres.  For instance, they have animated movies such as Frozen (linked below), and Akira, to sci-fi like Interstellar, to classics such as The Shawshank Redemption and A Clockwork Orange.  They've analyzed all of the Original Star Wars Trilogy, as well as my favorite movie: Inception.

If you guys like philosophical of movies and a good amount of laughs, then you should check it out!
