On the Fence - S1-E2

Trivia: When he's being sprayed with water guns by all the other students in the cafeteria, Cory says "Oh my G..." The cast wasn't actually allowed to say "Oh my God" on the show, so Cory only enuncing the G sound was Ben Savage catching himself. (00:02:13)

X-Men (1992)

Trivia: When Thanos arrives at Titan, he is greeted by Doctor Strange, who is sitting down and playing with some rubble in his hand. When Iron Man, Thor and Captain America first see Thanos after he destroys the Avengers compound in Avengers: Endgame, he is similarly sitting down and playing with rubble in his hand. This could mean that Doctor Strange was mimicking what Thanos would do in the one out of 14,000,605 possible futures that he saw in which the heroes would defeat Thanos.

Trivia: SPOILER: When Wanda kills Professor X inside the mind of her possessed alternate self, it first appears that she snaps his neck. However, if you watch it in slow motion, you can see she actually rips his head in half.

Lady Bird (2017)

Trivia: At one point, this was mathematically the best-reviewed film of all time on Rotten Tomatoes, briefly surpassing the honor held by Toy Story 2. Upon learning this, Cole Smithey - who calls himself the world's smartest film critic and is known for having contrarian reviews - deliberately changed his review from "fresh" to "rotten," as he didn't feel the film deserved the distinction of being the best-reviewed film of all time.

Dexter: New Blood (2021)

Trivia: One of the main reasons for this series being made was because fans generally had a very negative reception to how the original series ended. While this series as a whole was liked by fans compared to the later seasons of the original series and despite the efforts of the creators to give fans a more satisfying ending, the finale seemed to upset fans more than that of its predecessor. As of this writing, it even has a lower IMDB rating.
