Supernatural (2005)

Swap Meat - S5-E12

Corrected entry: Sam switches bodies with a 17 year old kid named Gary. NOTE: Sam has always been taller than Dean. When Dean and Gary (in Sam's body) are walking and talking, Dean looks down to talk to Gary. Since Gary is supposed to be in Sam's body, Dean should be looking slightly up. Also, when Dean finally listens to his voice-mail and hears Sam (in Gary's body) we hear Sam's voice. We should have been hearing Gary's.

Correction: They made a valid choice to be accurate about eye contact between characters instead of accurate about gaze height. But the voice issue would make an excellent separate mistake.

Corrected entry: When Annie is telling her mother about how she and Walter met, she says they each got each other's sandwiches: Walter got her sandwich on whole wheat bread, which he was allergic to, while she got his on white bread. However, anyone allergic to whole wheat bread would be equally allergic to white bread; wheat flour is the main ingredient in white bread.

Correction: Dead wrong. A friend of mine is allergic to whole wheat but not wheat. Whole wheat flour contains wheat bran, white wheat-flour does not.

But later, at the New Year's Party, when Walter and Annie plan to meet in NY for Valentine's Day, Annie says "I'll take you to Chinatown for DimSum" and Walter asks "is there wheat in that?" which implies that he is allergic to wheat. So there is definitely a mistake.

Monsters, Inc. (2001)

Corrected entry: Throughout the movie there are times when monsters prefer cleanliness and times when they prefer dirtiness. Examples of monsters preferring cleanliness include Sulley brushing his teeth at the beginning of the film (Mike says "Fight that plaque.") and a little later on at 'Monsters Inc' when a green slug monster mops the floor. Examples of monsters preferring dirtiness include Roz reading a newspaper with an article at the back of it that says 'Gain pounds' and when Mike asks Sulley for oderant (smelly garbage, old dumpster, low tide, wet dog).

Correction: What, monsters can't like smelliness but want their teeth not to fall out and their feet not to stick to the floor? Characters sometimes choosing convenience (chewing food, walking easily) over an aesthetic preference is not a plot hole. (And don't even get me started about calling weight gain "dirty.").
