NFL star Aaron Rodgers speaks about one of the most terrifying episodes of Black Mirror

After having an intellectual discussion about social media and how it has affected their lives personally, they had a good laugh about how this technology-sprawled world will be dominated by Robots very soon. Aaron talks about one of his friends “who had this robot stuff. It’s like someone having a werewolf in the house.” Now, this is where the implicit idea of such a relatable show comes in.

He later becomes a bit dismissive and uncomfortable to accept the robotic invasion of Earth. He refers to the show, Black Mirror, and goes “a series of guys who do these amazing CGI things.” Hence, he humorously supports his opinion of it all being fake.

The black mirror magic continues for a little longer as the player discusses the ghastly episode Metalhead of the series. In fact, this particular episode was not only scary for the millennial legend but also for anyone who’d see it for the first time. Lunatic robot dogs running after a lone woman in a post-apocalyptic world is something that’d surely send chills down anyone’s spine.
