Bandersnatch

Product Information

In late December, media reported on an image of the cast and a claim that Slade would direct the episode. The camaraderie and creative impetus of the Inklings must have been one of the greatest experiences this side of eternity. From this, it may be inferred that Bandersnatch itself is cursed in some way, and everyone who attempts to work on it being doomed to obsession, loss of control, and madness. Of course, nothing is stopping you from playing regular chess or even checkers using only the pawns.

If you follow that line of thinking to its logical conclusion, then you're absolved of any guilt from your actions. In some endings, the viewer is shown the critical reaction to the Bandersnatch game and the fate of Tuckersoft, which may go out of business. Slade highlighted Colin as the hardest character to understand, as one scene needed to be shot three times, with Colin having different levels of knowledge at each stage. And of course, Edward Packard’s CYOA book series — massively popular in the 1980s — is an undeniable influence on Bandersnatch.A bandersnatch is a fictional creature invented by Lewis Carroll in his novel Through the Looking-Glass, but we adopted the name in a circuitous manner. The soundtrack was composed by Brian Reitzell, who worked on it by writing separate scores for each of the major storylines, then filling in music for the scenes not already covered. As the first Netflix interactive content for adults, Bandersnatch required more complex choices than previous interactive works, leading Netflix staff to create a bespoke tool which they named Branch Manager. In the case of the former, if he chooses to decapitate Peter Butler's corpse in much the same way that Davies butchered his wife, Bandersnatch will be completed on time and to his satisfaction.

Its name was mentioned in an Easter egg in series three episode "Playtest", on the front cover of a magazine which is briefly shown onscreen.The hero describes the creature as being extremely long-legged with a long tail and the ability to fly. Due to the deliberately ambiguous nature of the film's narrative, multiple explanations are possible for Jerome F. However, should the viewer decide against this, Stefan can end up dodging the appointment and instead spend the evening getting high on LSD with Colin Ritman, drawing further parallels between him and Davies; depending on the viewer's decisions, this can even end with Stefan coming face to face with the demon Pax - only to wake up en route to the therapist's office.
