Callister, you may very well be a sentient digital clone of yourself. But have no fear, the revolution is here and they’ve brought loot. From one of Black Mirror’s most lauded EXCLUSIVE episodes, this exclusive U.S.S Callister pin Black Mirror Pin comes in one of four styles and will have you Licensed from Endemol Shine Group anticipating future gear. Made by Loot Crate DYSTOPIAN DUDS Originally appearing on Channel 4 in the UK, Black Mirror’s dystopian anthology series has quickly become one of Netflix’s most popular (and creepy) shows since switching over to the streaming service in 2015. Each self contained episode in Black Mirror takes the unsettling concept of The Twilight Zone and adds an unhinged element of a high tech future. Featuring scenes from “15 Million Merits,” “White Bear,” “Men Against Fire,” “U.S.S. Callister,” “Arkangel” and “Hang the DJ,” this exclusive Black Mirror tee celebrates the most memorable and disturbing episodes to fuel your next binge session. EXCLUSIVE Black Mirror Tee Licensed from Endemol Shine Group Made by Loot Crate “COLLECT MY SHINY, METAL…” From the brilliant mind of Matt Groening, Futurama follows hapless but lovable pizza delivery man, Philip J. Fry, who finds himself in the 31st century after he’s accidentally cryogenically frozen for a thousand years. Fry finds work (and love) at Planet Express delivering packages around the galaxy. The animated sitcom ran off and on from 1999 to 2013, quickly gaining a cult following. With a series that features so many fan favorites, you literally can’t go wrong with the Futurama Universe X Blind Mini Figure Series. Looters will receive one of the 16 collectible figures available to put on display while in binge mode with this animated classic. Futurama Blind Box Licensed from Twentieth Century Fox Television Made by Kidrobot SAVE THE DATE Wanna feel old? SpongeBob SquarePants premiered on Nickelodeon in May 1999. This beloved animated series centers around a sea sponge named SpongeBob, his starfish bestie, Patrick, and their underwater adventures from the Krusty Krab to the Chum Bucket. What better way to commemorate the 20th anniversary of this series than by marking it in your very own Loot Crate Edition SpongeBob SquarePants calendar! This wall calendar features art from all your favorite Bikini Bottom dwellers sure to influence your binging options for the new year. EXCLUSIVE SpongeBob Calendar Licensed from Nickelodeon Made by Loot Crate WE’RE THANKFUL FOR OUR FRIENDS Still considered one the most popular television shows to binge, Friends continues to make new audiences laugh while being a staple for original fans to come back to time and again. During its 10 year reign from 1994 to 2004, Friends created some of the most memorable and quotable laughs to date. (Joey doesn’t share food.) In season five’s, “The One with All the Thanksgivings” the gang reminisces about all of their worst Thanksgivings fully equipped with a ton of hilarious flashbacks. We finally get to the bottom of why Chandler’s missing a toe as well as the iconic image of Monica wearing a turkey on her head just before Chandler tells her he loves her. This month’s crate features a pair of turkey socks perfect for wearing while binging all ten seasons with your favorite Friends. EXCLUSIVE Friends Socks Licensed from NBC Universal Made by Bioworld TOP 5 Predictions That Actually Came True 5 DRIVERLESS PIZZA DELIVERY VANS In the Black Mirror episode, “Crocodile,” people are embedded with “recallers” that allow access to recent memories. While the story centers around a cold hearted killer whose eventual undoing is the recall of a family pet, it’s the driverless pizza van that plows down a pedestrian in an unrelated scene that has people talking. Both Dominos and Pizza Hut have recently been in talks to partner with motor companies in order to create a similar vehicle. Look out (literally) for new driverless delivery services. 4 MECHANICAL BEES “Hated in the Nation” aired as the season three finale ofBlack Mirror. In an attempt to recover the endangered bee population, robot bees, or “robobees” are created and deployed. In true Black Mirror fashion, the bees are promptly hacked and begin murdering people via an online voting system. With bee deaths on the rise, real life robot bees are in development to combat the shortage. Walmart has just recently filed a patent for a robot bee to help with crop pollination. 3 DIGITAL CONTACT LENSES ‘The Entire History of You” tells the story of what could happen if we were able to record and re-watch every moment in our lives via contact lens. Needless to say, the infinite ways to use that information could be obsessively dangerous and even deadly. Sony previously patented a contact lens with the ability to snap a pic and eventually record everything you see. This idea is either brilliant or brilliantly problematic. 2 ANIMOIJIS In season two, Black Mirror gave us some insight on how creepy it can be to mirror your voice and expressions through an animated 3D animal in “The Waldo Moment.” The episode centers around a failed comedian who runs for office through the image of a cartoon bear named Waldo. Things quickly spiral out of control as Waldo’s popularity evolves into a dictatorship of sorts. The iPhone X offers a similar feature with Animojis, which let you create an animal avatar of yourself. Sounds harmless, but we’ll see. 1 SOCIAL RATING SYSTEM One of Black Mirror’s most popular episodes, “Nosedive” follows the story of Lacie, who lives in a world where every social interaction throughout the day is rated on a 1-5 scale. The higher your score, the higher your quality of life. As Lacie’s problems start to snowball, we’re witness to her descent into the depths of a “low rated” life. China has developed a similar system called Social Credit that ranks you based on your behavior and decisions in society. Beware, infractions include bad driving, posting fake news, and buying too many video games.
