The video is a humorous analysis of the TV series "The Walking Dead" from a film theory perspective. The host, MatPat, discusses the show's zombie threat and how it's been depicted over the course of six seasons. He points out that the zombies in the show have been gradually becoming more grotesque, which he attributes to the decomposing nature of zombies.
MatPat uses the concept of decomposition stages to predict the end of the zombie threat in the series. He explains that the zombies in the show have been progressing through the stages of decomposition at a faster rate than a typical human body, due to factors such as exposure to the elements and temperature. He calculates that the zombies in the series will completely decay in approximately 1,380 days, or about two years.
He also notes that the zombies' brains, which are crucial for their survival, will liquify during the Black Putrefaction stage, which is currently depicted in the show. He calculates that the zombies' brains will completely melt in approximately 34 days.
MatPat also points out that the show has recently been set over the course of two days, and the location has been moved to colder temperatures. He suggests that this is because the creators know that the zombies are on borrowed time and will soon decompose.
Finally, MatPat mentions that the show has hidden references to the Roman Empire and invites viewers to explore these theories further on other channels.
