#skipped over episodes i haven’t seen bc i don’t care about them <33

some highlights from inside black mirror

the forward ends with brooker telling the reader to stop reading the forward and to “get the fuck off my page”

brooker thinks fact that the national anthem makes it hard for people to recommend black mirror is funny

the national anthem was inspired by i’m a celebrity get me out of here

the pig’s name was madge

the national anthem’s name comes from the obvious source AND the radiohead song, which came up randomly on spotify

when brooker found out about piggate his immediate reaction was to question his reality

fifteen million merits is an intentional critique of capitalism

daniel kaluuya sleeps a lot on set

the real white bear plush is hidden in the garden of the house where the protagonist wakes up

“and i always take from it that victoria’s incredibly remorseful about what she’s done. being constantly shown the evil things she’s done to that little girl, it’s obviously destroying her, and there’s real remorse there” aka this character will always break my heart

the concept art for waldo of moment fame is actually extremely cute

waldo was partially inspired by gorillaz and had at least three puppeteers working on making him move at all times

bryce dallas howard had an emotional breakdown over fifteen million merits

nosedive was originally about a celebrity fighting for his life to get his rating down to a 0

brooker thinks he might be autistic

the setting aesthetics of nosedive were inspired by the truman show

the scene where lacie falls into the muddy swamp was filmed on bryce’s birthday and they immediately sang happy birthday to her afterwards

bryce and wyatt russell don’t hide the fact that they’re nepo babies <3

shut up and dance was originally set in america ONLY because it’d be easier for the main characters to get a gun

the twist was added a bit later because kenny doing All That just to avoid leaking a video of him jacking off was objectively unrealistic

kenny’s clothes are all too big on purpose to make them look sad and lonely and like someone hiding his body without screaming “that’s a man in a pedophile coat”

it was really hard to find anyone who’d let their kid play the little girl for obvious reasons so jones got her own daughter to do it, and lawther was creeped out just playing the scene

lawther and brooker both found kenny smelling his fingers after jacking off “fucking weird” and then half the production team passed around the blame as to who put that in the scene

this is getting very long i should save the rest for reblogs
