In it, I hope to provide an introduction to postmodernist theory and postmodernist philosophy. Along the way, we'll look at simulacra and Baudrillard's concepts of a simulacrum and hyperreality as well as Wittengenstein's concept of language-games.

There are few places online where you can find postmodernism explained simply and clearly. It's a complex theory (as perhaps is made obvious by the length of this video) but, ss always with What the Theory? I hope its the start of such a resource, particularly with so many misconceptions of postmodernism running about online of late.
