Eternals (2021)

Trivia: After 13 years and 26 films, this is the first movie in the Marvel Cinematic Universe to receive a "rotten" rating from Rotten Tomatoes upon release. This is somewhat ironic given that there were reports that Marvel considered it the best film they had made yet, and Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige felt it could be a nominee for Best Picture at the Oscars, particularly as its director ChloƩ Zhao had recently won the Best Director Oscar for Nomadland, which also won Best Picture.

Eternals (2021)

Trivia: SPOILER: The mid-credits scene sees the debut of Eros, brother of Thanos, who reveals himself to also be an Eternal. The reason why Thanos looks so different from his human-looking brother is because Thanos carries the Deviant gene.

Trivia: Chris Potter, who voiced Gambit in the animated series, was brought in to audition for the role of Cyclops.

Potter for his part admitted he was too old to play the character by the time he was finally adapted to live action in 2009.

Boy Meets World (1993)

Trivia: While filming a prank in which each of the four Jokers were working as cashiers at a grocery store, during Sal's turn, he was instructed to take a picture of a customer's credit card with his phone. This led to the customer calling the police on them. It turns out she had her identity stolen a couple weeks prior. According to Murr, the police took the woman out of the store to defuse the situation, and then came back in the store and told them that they are fans of the show.

Boy Meets World (1993)

Trivia: Will Friedle originally lost the role of Eric to another actor. The actor - whom Friedle has identified as being named either Harry Branichee or Harry Branshee - was similar in height to Ben Savage at the time. The creators of the show realised this would be problematic when Ben Savage started to grow taller, eventually being taller than his onscreen older brother, so they went with Friedle.

The Q-Pay - S6-E17

Trivia: It cost the show $10,000 to have Q's long hair converted into a wig for Murr to wear as punishment. Q grew out his hair for 2 years for no other reason than so that they could do this as a punishment for Murr. Q sarcastically says he suffered for his art.
