Hello internet! Welcome  to Film Theory, the amusement park for your mind!

Sure, we don't have any roller coasters or cotton candy or Ferris wheels, but we do have science, math, and history lessons!

Wait, where are you going?  Come back, come back!

excessive violence and gratuitous nudity, am I right? Right!

And when it comes to blood and boobs, no one beats HBO

I mean who doesn't love "Game of Thrones" and um, uh . . .  huh--

Well, those Crafty HBO Executives knew exactly how to solve their programming woes

make a show with even more nudity and more gore than" Game of Thrones."

That's right, today I'm talking about "Westworld,"

the show for everyone who ever went to Disney world and thought to themselves,

"You know what this would be so much more magical?

If I could just shoot Mickey and then get it on with a cast of 'It's a Small World.'"

By the way, in case you haven't noticed yet this episode might get a little

Now, for those of you who are unfamiliar,

"Westworld" takes place in the not too distant future where mankind is on the brink of a new

machines that not only pass the Turing Test, but can behave, think, and act like actual human beings.

So, obviously, we stuffed them into a Wild West show where rich people can kill and sex with them.

I mean, I can't think of any other practical use for such Advanced AI

Robotic technology than put them into an x-rated Six Flags. (campy music)

Nope, can't think of one single better use for a robot than a wild west themed amusement park.

Anyway besides all the blood squibs and boobs,

there's one thing that keeps people tuning into "Westworld" the show week after week,

and that is the mystery.  There are so many different mysteries,

It's honestly hard to keep track of them all!  Who's the man in black?

Yet, "Westworld" over the course of its fantastic first ten episodes answered every single one.

Amd I really wanted to do an episode covering some of these issues as the show was running

because 1) I really wanted to talk about it,

And 2) I really wanted to introduce you 
guys to a show that I think you're really going to enjoy,

because when a typical episode of "Film Theory" takes two weeks or more to make,

it makes it really hard to come up with videos that didn't get answered in the following week's episode.

But now with the season done and people slowly catching up on everything that they missed

one mystery that "Westworld" hasn't revealed yet,

and that's the location of the Westworld park, and this isn't just some random piece of trivia

It's an important question for the show. In fact, in an interview right before the season finale,

co-creator Jonathan Nolan offered up this cryptic tease on the Park's location,

quote "By the end of the first season if you're paying close attention, you will know where the park is" end quote.

He was then immediately interrupted by his co-creator and wife Lisa Joy who disagreed.

But of course, this spurred on every single over-analyzer online to theorize on just where the park was set.

Well, let me tell you, after carefully going through each episode of "Westworld" and its online marketing,

none of those theories actually hold water.

Today I'm trolling through television's most cryptic show to solve the last lingering question from its first season--

The answer will be revealed by the end of today's episode,

but if you want a hint, well, you've already gotten it.

Let's start by debunking the most common theories.

First, an island--Sure Westworld may be based on a film and book by Michael Crichton

who, yes, definitely had a thing for islands. (bad harmonica music)

But if Westworld was set on an Island or any body of land on Earth,

you would naturally expect some sort of Indigenous livestock: bugs, birds anything really.

But, per the Westworld terms and conditions website,

only the flies that you find within the park are actually real. Per the website,

Quote "All Livestock within the Delos Parks are hosts,"

--that's Westworld terminology for the robots--

"with the notable exception of flies" end quote.

Thus, all islands on the surface of Earth are automatically ruled out of consideration.

Well, I've looked at all the internet's best evidence

and it all stems from a single shot in the deepest bowels of the Westworld headquarters

where a globe is visible for just a split second.

This globe, according to one person online looks suspiciously like it has continents of

However, the way that the light plays on the image, it's just clearly a globe of Earth that was misread

You can even make out the light underside of South America on it.

So that theory feels a bit dead in the water as well.

But what if Westworld was in the one place that you would never think to look,

one right under our noses and under the sea? (laughs) Oh now,

this is my favorite part 'cause it's time to gather some evidence!

Point number one--size.  If we know nothing else about Westworld, we know that it's really big--

really, really big!  In an interview with Jonathan Nolan

500 square miles. For comparison, Disney world is only 40 square miles, and that's the biggest amusement park in the world!

At 500 square miles, New York City would be half of Westworld Park

So, getting your hands on land almost twice the size of NYC is gonna
