      I was thinking similar to this but maybe they didnt "throw" the fungus spore bu "ejected" the spores from the mouth or something. Any normal person would assume "flour" and "throwing" over spores and ejecting/vomiting if they got hit with it without seeing it happen themselves.

    Personally I interpreted the "a guy threw flour on me" as that not actually being flour, but rather the spores this man was releasing. That's where it connects to the other case because in the antopsy they said they thought a gas had been released but really it was spores. I can't remember if they mentioned the color but I always imagined the gas to be a pale gray, kinda like flour.

    I think the reason that the police report goes crazy at the end of vol 1 is because of what happened to the original patients. When patient two died, 30 mins into the autopsy they spewed out spores. I think that the police officer that unalived gomez got some spores and during the write up they kicked in, leading to the tangent about smiling.

    Acetylcholine is the neurotransmitter in charge of opening the channels for the synapsis to have place. If this channels want to be closed, the body produces an enzyme called acetylcholinesterase, which degrades acetylcholine. This enzyme is produced on a set amount, intended to be fully consumed in the degradation. If the amount of acetylcholine increases drasticly, the body will not be able to produce enough acetylcholinesterase to degrade it all, leaving the channels open.
    If this happens to occur anywhere inside the limbic system, let's say, the amygdala, it can produce a constant, uninterrupted state of intense euphoria and irritability.

    33:16 Microbiology major here, just have to correct when he distinguishes fungi from viruses and bacteria as living, bacteria are also living things, they’re prokaryotes and are very much living cells.
    Based on what you go on to say, I think the term that would more accurately describe what you’re trying to articulate is that most fungi are usually multicellular organisms, which makes them more complex
    Edit: Even a single cellular fungi species would be more complex as it is a Eukaryote, and Eukaryotes are more complex cells compared to Prokaryotes (larger cells, membrane bound organelles like the nucleus, etc…)

The disease here is the smile and aggression symptoms - which "they" are concerned could emerge in different variants. Yes, you are at risk of contracting the "fungus" within 10ft, but by proxy, if you contract the fungus, you are also at risk of contracting the unknown disease. Therefore, use of the word "disease" when describing the symptomatic problem, is actually correct 😋

    This probably isn’t much but I noticed at about 22:05, when the person says “I am not.”, obviously stating they are not happy but notice there is a period there. Then the phrase “Behind this forced smile” appears implying they might just be putting on a happy face. But notice when that phrase appears, the period in the phrase before disappears. That would make the full phrase “I am not behind this forced smile” implying that they aren’t controlling it, and after the next phrase appears, the period reappears. We obviously already know that they aren’t controlling the smile but it’s a nice detail that, if intentionally put there to mean that, I found pretty cool lol

    In the Last of Us game...its the spores in the air. The fungus zombies even develop bits that specialize in producing and distributing the spores into the air. Many parts of the game require you to wear a gas mask to avoid said spores.
    In the tv series, they changed it to being in the bread because having the actors in gas masks would make it hard for the audience to relate to what they were seeing on tv.

    19:40 MatPat mentions the background music of Shaun's log. I don't know if it was mentioned yet, but the piano piece being played during these logs is named "Pavane pour un infante défunte" (Pavane for a Dead Princess) by Maurice Ravel. One of my favorite, somber and emotional pieces to perform. I don't know exactly the significance of its use in Smile Tapes, but it could either be:
    1. The name, suggesting/hinting towards Shaun's eventual succumbing of the fungus and death
    or perhaps,
    2. While the name implies that Ravel wrote the piece to mourn a loss, it was actually a simple musical number for an actual princess to perform in court, similar to a ballet. Shaun is an important character to the series in some regard, and could be seen as the catalyst/main actor for the New Year's Day mass homicide of '95.
    But hey, that's just a theory, a film theory iirc
    Can't wait to see part 2!
