Corrected entry: The stock exchange shouldn't be open on New Year's Day.

Trading Places (1983)
Correction: Adding to the original correction: At 00:21:50, Penelope mentions the party that Mumsy wants to have for them on January 2, so Winthorpe tells her he can't do it that day because January 2 is the day the crop reports come out.

Marvel's Spider-Man 2 (2023)
Corrected entry: There's no reason Black Cat couldn't ask Dr. Strange to teleport her to Paris.
Correction: After sending Felicia to Paris, Miles received a letter from Dr. Strange stating that him and Wong had just returned home. This means they weren't there when Felicia broke in and took the wand.
Yeah, I just found that out. My bad.

Model by Day (1994)
Corrected entry: There's no way that the around 5'4" foot Jae could fit into the Lady X costume that the 6'0" foot Lex wears.
Correction: The difference in height between the actresses is less than 4". Traci Lind is 5'8" and Famke Jannsen is 5'11.5". Not sure where you got 5'4" from. So she absolutely should be able to fit into the costume mostly OK. It also noticeably looks a little loose on her if you pay attention. I don't see any mistake here.

Roseanne (1988)
Corrected entry: The cops should have cuffed Dan's hands behind his back, not in front, as this is standard procedure.
Correction: This "standard procedure" is not altogether cut-and-dried. It actually depends on the policy of the police department, as well as the judgment of the officers making the arrest. The two officers know Dan and Rosie. Dan was compliant, not resisting whatsoever.

King of the Hill (1997)
Love Hurts and So Does Art - S3-E18
Corrected entry: There's no reason Hank or Peggy can't call the deli owner and tell him not to sell any more food to Bobby once he contracts gout.
Correction: Bobby has generally earned his parents' trust. He might get into trouble occasionally, as many pre-teen boys do, but not so much that Hank and Peggy need to cover all the bases. They believe that he stopped going to the deli. As Peggy tells Connie, "He is doing everything he can to get back on his feet in time for that dance."

King of the Hill (1997)
Corrected entry: Peggy seems surprised about Cotton losing his shins in WW2. Yet, in Season 1 episode 8, "Shins of the Father," she's standing there listening to him talk about losing his shins.
Correction: There's nothing I saw that indicated she was surprised Cotton lost his shins, or that she didn't know that. She's upset because she thinks all the stories Cotton told her were lies, and when Hank says "that fraud used to be 6'4"", her response was "so", as in what's your point. And the point of Hank's story wasn't Cotton lost his shins, but that he was walking again after 18 months. If anything, that's what Peggy was surprised at, or that Hank thinks his dad was heroic.

Superman IV: The Quest for Peace (1987)
Corrected entry: Given the subway's crowded, there's no reason Superman couldn't fly the hurt engineer to the hospital.
Correction: There were already paramedics and authorities there to take care of the engineer. It'd be pointless to fly him to a hospital when he's already being helped.

Wonder Woman (2017)
Corrected entry: Ares as the God of War always wanted people fighting as he revelled in this. This change up of him wanting all people dead makes no sense.
Correction: (1) The writers are allowed to alter characters and motivations. They don't have to stick with the rules of the original mythological figure. (2) Ares also explicitly states that he wants to eradicate humanity through war (which is kind of his thing, anyways) because it will help earth return to the "paradise" it was before them, so he has a clear motivation. He hates humans and wants the world to return to what it once was before they arrived, and as the god of war, he wants to use war to destroy them. It makes perfect sense in the context of this story even if it doesn't fit in with the classic mythological figure.

X-Men (2000)
Corrected entry: Mystique tells Trask how she had to go to school and get stared at by other kids looking the way she does. Yet in X-Men: The Last Stand and when she meets Charles in First Class she's capable of looking like an ordinary child. This statement seems to contradict her ability at shape changing.
9th Aug 2022
Spider-Man 3 (2007)
Corrected entry: Never once in the entire movie do the three villains get called by their comic book names of Sandman, Green Goblin 2, and Venom.
Correction: Sandman is referred to as "Sandman" during the newscast right before the final battle and Spider-Man refers to Harry as "Goblin" while taunting him. (Albeit, something like "Goblin Jr, " but he refers to him as Goblin nonetheless).
26th Jul 2022
The Towering Inferno (1974)
Corrected entry: There's no way anyone could afford to own a building 1,688 feet tall. The costs of utilities and other things would be quite high.
Correction: Every tall building has an owner. Either the owner/corporation is profitable enough to justify operating it themselves, or else floors/offices are leased out to others, and the income from that more than covers the costs.
18th Jul 2022
Batman: Arkham Knight
Corrected entry: The firefighters' helmets should read "GCFD" not "FDGC" since the police department's referred to as "GCPD."
Correction: Gotham City's fire dept is known as both FDGC and GCFD, in the same way as NY's fire dept is known as the FDNY and police dept known as NYPD.
18th Jul 2022
The Pink Panther Strikes Again (1976)
Corrected entry: They try making it sound like the Michigan vs Navy game was close, it wasn't. Michigan won 70-14 over Navy.
Correction: The game you're referring to was played on September 25, 1976, three months after they finished shooting according to IMDb.com. A film not being able to accurately predict the future is not a valid mistake.
7th Jul 2022
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder's Revenge
Corrected entry: The first time Casey Jones is a playable character as well as Splinter.
Correction: This is incorrect. Casey Jones is a playable character in the Nintendo Entertainment System and Sega Genesis versions of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Tournament Fighters, which was released in 1994. In addition, Casey Jones and Splinter are unlockable playable characters in the mobile game Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Madness which was released in 2020.
Sorry. I didn't know this, my apologies for this error.
18th Jun 2022
Batman: Arkham Knight
Corrected entry: All the patrons appear as zombies to Officer Owens during the diner massacre except for the waitresses.
Correction: The hallucinations Scarecrow's fear gas causes don't need to be consistent; they're hallucinations.
17th Feb 2022
Batman: The Animated Series (1992)
Corrected entry: Unless he didn't feel like it or Daggett's being held somewhere that's secret there's no reason that Clayface, who faked his death, couldn't try to track him down again.
Correction: There's absolutely nothing in the episode that suggests Clayface can't try to track down Daggett again. That's pure conjecture on your part. And conjecture is not a mistake or plot hole. But just to humor you, as seen in the series, Clayface goes through many other trials and tribulations that take up his time, which might explain why they don't show him going after Daggett in future episodes. Either way... this isn't a plot hole.

Spider-Man 2 (2004)
Corrected entry: Doc Ock's wearing a hospital gown during the operating room massacre yet once outside he's suddenly bare chested.

Batman and Robin (1997)
Corrected entry: Poison Ivy's hair is red most of the movie. Yet once she's a patient in Arkham Asylum her hair suddenly looks like a shade of pink.
Correction: She became part-plant when she was "killed" and resurrected. That's how it's usually depicted in the comics and other media, and she even describes this process in a speech when she comes back to life in this film and kills the evil doctor who created her. She's stuck in a dark, dank prison cell without much sunlight (there seems to be only one small window and minimal light in her cell)... thus her body is becoming weaker, and her color (like her hair) is fading. Just like a flower would without enough sunlight for photosynthesis. Notice how she also looks overly frail and frazzled, unlike how energetic and vibrant she was earlier.

Species (1995)
Corrected entry: It's impossible for Sil to wear the conductor's clothes. She's tall and slim around maybe 5'9" while the conductor looks to be 5'5"or so and a little chubby.
Correction: It's not "impossible" in the slightest. Both women were roughly the same height. Natasha Henstridge is about 5'10" and Esther Williams was usually listed around 5'9" or 5'10" before she passed away. And the weight difference also makes sense, as the clothes look baggy and ill-fitting on Sil. (Ex. The jacket is very loose and hanging around her shoulders and arms, and the shirt isn't nearly as form-fitting as it was on the conductor.) It's pretty much perfectly portrayed in the film.

Blue Bloods (2010)
Corrected entry: It's said the illegal immigrant from Venezuela has a new born child. Yet they're still talking of deporting him. Impossible as that child was born here, she/he is an automatic citizen and can represent the whole family in getting citizenship as the law dictates.
Correction: No, it's not impossible. It's a lot more complex and there's no guarantee for immediate citizenship for the parents. There's not even a guarantee a child will be given residency in the US until he or she is old enough to live on his or her own. However, I missed the part in the episode that said anything about the child being born in America, they just said he had a "newborn."
Correction: It was January 2, Winthorp said it at the beginning of the movie.
