🧙♂️ Real fans of Super Mario Bros 3 will know that finding the magic flute in World One shouldn’t actually get the protagonist any points.
🩸 “You’ve got Red on You,” is also the title of the oral history book of Shaun of the Dead.
🐌 Snails are gastropods, not cephalopods.
🧀 Wensleydale is best known not as a local UK cheese, but from Monty Python and Wallace and Gromit.
🚨 The fridge alert scorebreak: The fridge alert. It’ll let you know if William Conrad is stealing your food. Who’s going to need this thing, Quinn Martin? And he’s dead! [8/10: I get it. Cause of the First Alert commercials.]
🏈 Everyone was surprised when NFL place kicker Rolf Benirschke was selected as the host of the daytime Wheel of Fortune , especially Rolf Benirschke.
🥵 Betty White character on Hot in Cleveland is Elka Ostrovsky.
🥶 Loki is turning blue on his tarot card because he’s actually a frost giant.
⏲️ Miss Minutes from Loki is based on Mr. DNA from the first Jurassic Park movie.
🗑️ The Buddha-looking Garbage Pail Kids tarot card is of (sigh) Rob Slob aka Dirty Harry.
🔮 The officially licensed Britney Spears tarot set only has 40 cards, so is referred to as an oracle deck, rather than a “tarot” deck.
🖖 The Daktari Stool scorebreak. The Daktari stool: Somehow not the most befuddling thing about Mitchell. [4/10: Is a Daktari one of those black and white guys from Star Trek? What the heck is this?]
👮🏻♂️ The theme to Hill Street Blues did hit the top 10 in the US, and charted for more than five months.
💔 Aside from the songs, the most notable difference between the movie and stage versions of The Gay Divorcee is that the stage version had a different name: it was just The Gay Divorce.
😈 The 1936 Tod Browning filmDevil-Doll, in which a shrink ray developed to combat overpopulation is used in a revenge ploy, is very different from the 1964 William Sylvester Devil Doll which is just a rip-off of Michael Redgrave’s segment of 1945’s Dead of Night.
