This video is a bit different. It is about what I love, based on many 1980s movies that inspired me including: Ferris Buelers Day Off, Real Genius, Its Never Better Off Dead and more.
By the way, the part of the video with the popcorn is from Real Genius and the song Everybody Wants to Rule the World is about climate change.
I hope you enjoy this little video as much as I did in making it.
Cheers,

ps. I didnt add commercials so I can use clips without reference. Also, originally, I complained about Richard Feynmann, but I realized it came off as mean, so that is why so many people are talking about him in the comments.")
