The episode of the series "Film Theory" is sponsored by Google, and it's a detailed analysis of the Chilean horror series "The Walton Files". The host discusses the series' plot, characters, and the mysteries that unfold as the story progresses.
The series is about the now-defunct Bonds Burgers, an animatronic-themed restaurant chain. The owner, Jack Walton, had a falling out with his partner, Felix Crankin, leading to the closing of Bonds Burgers due to a series of mysterious events in 1974, known as the "Incidents of 1974". The animatronics were relocated into the woods and began to take lives, further mingling the line between the real and the animatronic world.
The host delves into the main character, Sophie, a former caretaker of Bonds Burgers. Sophie's memories are triggered by playing an old arcade game, Bunny Farm, which reveals the tragic backstory of her family and the restaurant's founders. The host also discusses the identities of other animatronics, such as Susan Woodings and Charles, and their roles in the story.
The host also discusses the importance of online security, using Google's password manager as an example. The discussion about online security segues into a discussion about the fate of the character, Felix. The host reveals that Felix's mental collapse, leading to his substance abuse and eventual death, was a result of a fateful phone call from Jack Walton.
The host also speculates about the identities of the characters Charles and Bon, the main animatronic of the series. The host suggests that Charles might be the same person who supervised the Bonds Burgers project and that Bon might be a glorified vessel for another character.
The host concludes by noting that the series is a story about human characters in a world full of animatronics, emphasizing the horrific situations the characters go through. The host also mentions an upcoming installment in the series, suggesting that more answers to these mysteries might be revealed in the future.
