00:00We never found anything on Jack. There's no record of him at all.
00:04No, there wouldn't be, would there? And I've never spoken of him until now.
00:10Welcome to Ms. Mojo, where we'll be discussing some of the most far-out fan theories ever formed,
00:15which have been discussed way more than necessary.
00:18Be warned, there will be major spoilers for most of the IPs included.
00:22The main thing these two IPs have in common is that they both include actor Bryan Cranston.
00:37I don't know, sometimes life just gets away from you and you forget the things that are really important.
00:45This has led fans to formulate the convoluted theory that they're part of the same universe.
00:49The most popular claim is that Walter White faked his death, then became Malcolm's dad, Hal.
00:55You don't know how lucky you are. Everything is new. Everything is open to you.
01:00Please don't ever take that for granted. Make every moment the best you possibly can.
01:06That theory contradicts the entire plot of Breaking Bad, which was motivated by Walt's inoperable illness.
01:12An alternate take claims it's a prequel and Malcolm becomes Walter White after the series' conclusion.
01:17This makes a bit more sense, since Malcolm and Walter have more similar personalities.
01:23We also guess Malcolm could look like his father when he grows up.
01:26You don't have to protect us from this. We think getting a divorce is a great idea.
01:31What?
01:32Number 9. James Bond was a Codename.
01:35You're to go there and wait for further instructions. If he turns up, he's yours.
01:40Find out who he works for and who has the list.
01:43Then terminate him for Ronson.
01:45My pleasure.
01:46This theory has been discussed for decades among Bond fans.
01:49It implies that all James Bond films take place in the same universe, and James Bond is simply a codename.
01:55Therefore, none are born Bond. MI6 gives them the title.
01:59Evidence comes from George Lazenby's first Bond film, where he says...
02:03This never happened to the other fella.
02:05On the other hand, in Skyfall, they go to Bond's childhood home, where we see his parents' gravestone.
02:11Both their names are Bond, which discredits the theory a decent amount.
02:15Unless you put on your tinfoil hat and ask the question,
02:18What if Bond is brainwashed? Therefore, he's entirely unaware that his identity is a codename.
02:23Good morning. My name's Bond. James Bond.
02:27Either way, it doesn't really change anything.
02:30Number 8. The friends are all in Phoebe's head.
02:33Hello?
02:37Phoebe?
02:39Joey? What's going on?
02:41What?
02:44In the words of Friends co-creator Marta Kaufman, this theory is, quote,
02:48terrible and insane. Despite being debunked and hated by the show's creators, it's still debated
02:54fairly often. Before the series' beginning, Phoebe had an exceptionally difficult childhood.
02:59She was unhoused by 14, then turned to crime to survive.
03:03So this obviously means the entire show has to be in Phoebe's head, right?
03:06You know, those stupid soda people gave me $7,000 for the thumb.
03:10Oh, are you kidding?
03:11$7,000.
03:12And on my way over here, I stepped in gum.
03:16What is up with the universe?
03:17All along, she's just been watching the gang through a coffee shop window.
03:21It explains why plot lines can be so surreal in Friends.
03:25Like pretty much every entry on this list, whether it's true or not, the show remains the same.
03:30You okay?
03:30Yeah, I actually am, yeah. Because, you know, life's going to hand you all kinds of stuff.
03:38You know, you learn your little lessons and hopefully you grow.
03:41Number 7. There is no Blair Witch.
03:44This theory surprisingly changes the nature of the Blair Witch Project.
03:47For those unfamiliar with the movie, it's a found-footage horror film about students
03:51trying to find a mythical monster, the Blair Witch.
03:54I know where all these places are.
03:55So what's up? Are you happy with the way the documentary's going?
03:58Yes, I am.
03:59Yeah?
03:59Yeah.
04:00And I'm very pleasantly surprised by our little Mikey.
04:03It was so scary, Stephen King had to turn it off.
04:06They never reveal if the monster is real or not, which has led fans to hypothesize it never existed.
04:12Yeah, it's a story my grandmother used to tell us all.
04:15Make us go to bed early.
04:16Really?
04:16Say if you stay up after dark or walk around the house too much,
04:19a Blair Witch would come and get you.
04:21All along, it was a plot by characters Josh and Michael to murder Heather,
04:25then blame it on a spooky ghost.
04:27This makes it feel more like a snuff film than horror,
04:29but it makes a lot more sense than most fan theories.
04:32I'm so sorry for everything that has happened.
04:39Because in spite of what Mike says now, it is my fault.
04:43Before Game of Thrones had even been announced,
04:59fans of A Song of Ice and Fire had come up with the theory R plus L equals J.
05:04It's one of the oldest theories in the series' history, first being formed in 1997.
05:09To summarize, it claims that Jon Snow's parents are Rhaegar Targaryen and Lyanna Stark,
05:14therefore making him the true heir to the Iron Throne.
05:17After almost 20 years of theorizing, it was confirmed in season 6 of the TV series.
05:23This was a source of immense excitement for fans,
05:26who were getting increasingly negative about later seasons.
05:28Your mother was Lyanna Stark.
05:33And your father, your real father, was Rhaegar Targaryen.
05:40Number 5.
05:41Aladdin is a post-apocalypse.
05:43Oh, I come from a land, from a faraway place,
05:47where the caravan camels roam.
05:50Where it's flat and immense and the heat is intense.
05:54One of Disney's most renowned movies was Aladdin.
05:57It's based on a Middle Eastern folktale from centuries ago.
06:01It's also set thousands of years in the future, according to a lot of internet denizens.
06:05This is because Genie calls Aladdin's outfit 2 3rd century.
06:09Well, Genie has been locked in the lamp for 10,000 years.
06:13So this must mean the year is 10,300 A.D.
06:16Yo, Rugman, haven't seen you in a few millennia.
06:18Give me some tassel.
06:20Yeah, yo, yo.
06:22The Genie also makes a variety of references to 20th century pop culture.
06:27So it could even be 11,970 A.D.
06:30Additionally, the video game features 20th century road signs and unexploded nuclear devices.
06:35So is it complete gibberish?
06:37Or is Aladdin a sci-fi?
06:39Probably the former.
06:40I'm out of here!
06:43Bye bye, you two crazy lovebirds!
06:45Hey, Rugman, ciao!
06:47I'm history!
06:48No, I'm mythology!
06:50Number 4.
06:51Cobb is in a dream.
06:52Something you once knew.
06:57But this world is not real.
06:59It's not often Inception is brought up in an online forum,
07:02and it doesn't end in a discussion about whether he's dreaming in the ending.
07:06Since he's frequently diving into people's dreams,
07:09Cobb uses a spinning top to determine if he's awake or not.
07:12Come back with me.
07:15Come back.
07:19If it topples, he's awake.
07:20If not, it's a dream.
07:22At the end, he spins the top, but it cuts before it falls.
07:26According to director Christopher Nolan,
07:28if you're debating this, then you're missing the ending's point.
07:31The takeaway is meant to be that Cobb doesn't care.
07:34It has no significance.
07:35He's just happy to be back with his children.
07:38Hey, boys!
07:39Daddy!
07:40Daddy!
07:41How are you?
07:42Number 3.
07:44Sandy is dead in Grease.
07:45Look at me.
07:48There has to be
07:51Something more than what they see.
07:55Apart from the constant musical numbers, Grease is a pretty down-to-earth flick.
08:01That's until the ending, when Sandy and Danny's car starts flying.
08:08Was this just metaphorical, or was it all a hallucination of Sandy's?
08:13The former explanation makes more sense, but fans still like to wonder if Sandy was dead all along.
08:18Sandy never lived through her summer vacation.
08:21She importantly states that Danny saved her from drowning after she got a cramp while swimming.
08:26She swam by me, she got a cramp.
08:30He ran by me, got my sedamp.
08:33I saved the life, she nearly drowned.
08:37Hence, there is a chance Danny was a figment of her imagination, created in her dying moments.
08:43Creator Jim Jacobs said that whoever came up with it was having hallucinations of their own.
08:48Number 2.
08:49Who shot first, Han or Greedo?
08:52That's who, that's for long?
08:53Yes, Greedo.
08:54As a matter of fact, I was just going to see your boss tell Jabba that I've got his money.
08:59In the original 1977 theatrical release of Star Wars, Han shoots Greedo mid-conversation without warning.
09:06This establishes him as a morally ambiguous character who isn't to be trusted.
09:10Stay sharp, there's two more coming in. They're going to try and cut us off.
09:13Why don't you outrun him? I thought you said this thing was fast.
09:15Watch your mouth, kid, or you're going to find yourself floating home.
09:17In the 1997 special edition, George Lucas edited it so that Greedo shoots first and misses.
09:23This was controversial since it makes Han seem more moral than in the original cut.
09:28This caused a debate that raged for years.
09:31According to George Lucas, he always wanted Greedo to shoot first, as he didn't like the idea of Han being introduced as a killer.
09:37Many fans believe the change makes his character development less meaningful, since he goes from being a criminal to a hero.

10:09Number 1. Titanic is a hallucination.
10:12It's been 84 years, and I can still smell the fresh paint.
10:20The actual Titanic is entirely real, which inspired the hit 1997 blockbuster.
10:25It focuses on a romance between passengers Rose and Jack.
10:29The romance has captured the hearts of millions, but what if it was entirely in Rose's head?
10:34Evidence for this theory includes the fact that Jack first appears when she's in an especially dark place.
10:39Additionally, in the present, researchers believe Jack doesn't exist.
10:43Rose responds that...
10:45He exists now, only in my memory.
10:48Therefore, Jack was a guardian angel, fabricated by Rose's mind.
10:53Currently, James Cameron hasn't commented on the theory.
10:56This could be because it's too ridiculous for him to care, or maybe fans have hit the nail on the head.
11:02But now you know there was a man named Jack Dawson, and that he saved me, in every way that a person can be saved.
11:11Are you convinced by any of these theories, or do they all sound like nonsense to you?
