00:00We're talking about knowledge of the future in movies, YouTube channel, Easter Egg Psychic.

00:05In the last video, I talked about Galaga perhaps being a tip-off to actor Alan Ruck's future role as

00:13the captain of the Enterprise B in the movie Star Trek Generations in 94.

00:19I'll point out some clues to the future of the Galaga game series that are also in War Games 83.

00:30A big one is the presence of actor James Tolkien in this cast.

00:35He was later in 1985 sci-fi comedy Back to the Future, directed by Robert Zemeckis, co-written by Bob

00:44Gale, featuring a cast with Michael J. Fox, Christopher Lloyd, Leah Thompson, and Thomas F. Wilson.

00:51James Tolkien plays Principal Strickland in this.

00:55If you know the Back to the Future story, the DeLorean time machine car has to get up to the

01:03speed of 88 miles per hour to travel through time.

01:0888 is a significant number in the Galaga games.

01:131987 saw the release of sequel Galaga 88, and this followed on from God Plus and 84.

01:21I found another interesting item in War Games.

01:25The name of the supercomputer that the government uses that is the source of all the trouble.

01:33It's called Whopper.

01:35W-O-P-R War Operation Plan Response.

01:38This is also the name of a famous hamburger sold in the Burger King fast food restaurant.

02:01My YouTube channel is Easter Egg Psychic.

02:03There I go back and look at movies and television from the past.

02:07I analyze these for possible references to future media.

02:10These may appear in the form of anecdotes, idioms, anagrams, hidden in the subtext of the work in question.

02:17I also use an unconventional method where I look at the likenesses of the actors.

02:24What I found is you can take the likenesses, match these up to some of the anecdotal items,

02:30and show past, present, and future information about actors and other personalities

02:35that may resemble the personalities in the movie or television episode that you're watching.
