Choose Your Own Adventure


My family is still peeved that I made them watch Netflix's Bandersnatch. Listen, the concept of a real-life, choose-your-own-adventure type movie SEEMED like a good idea. Good idea, but poor execution. I hope the producers of Black Mirror maybe give the concept another chance.

Then I realized that the news media in America is a live-action version of Bandersnatch. Would you like to play along with me?
