In episode 2F09, when Itchy plays Scratchy’s skeleton like a xylophone, he strikes that same rib twice in succession yet he produces two clearly different tones. I mean, what are we, to believe that this is some sort of a, a magic xylophone or something? Boy, I really hope somebody got fired for that blunder.

I think about this way too much https://chunkmcbeefchest.com/Podcast/index.php?name=2024-10-25_cmcb108.mp3

NCIS scenes?

Holy moly this thread got a lot of comments! Is Lemmy growing up? Are we big now?

When a character wakes up in the hospital.
They’ve been out for three days. They’re obviously in real bad shape, every time they move they grunt.

Then they just rip out the IV and pulse monitor. But not any of the ekg wires. And then just leave.

Good luck getting down the hallway in that shape.

I hate to say it because so much of this show was actually really excellent and accurate but in the Chernobyl miniseries they totally did the “radiation is contagious” thing and it is just not true.

Things and people that are irradiated/hit by radiation in a situation like a reactor failure or contact with radioactive waste do not become radioactive. They can have radioactive particles on their clothing/skin or inside their body if they have ingested/inhaled radioactive material, but they are not emitting radiation themselves. Furthermore, a thin sheet of paper or cloth will stop the kind of radioactivity that would be emitted by such material, if it is on the outside of a person’s body.

Anyways the point is that the woman whose husband was dying of radiation poisoning and then she went in and spent time with him did not lose her baby because she spent time with him. That’s just not how it works.

Lots of environmental contamination-related stuff in movies is inaccurate but that one is the most recent I can think of.

In Iron Claw there is a scene where Kevin was training Mike how to do a head lock and kept yelling at him about his footing and telling him how he needed to switch his feet so that his left leg was forward and not his right. But your right is supposed to be in front Mke was doing it correctly.

Plus all the other historic inaccuracies and whitewashing hat no normal person cares about.

The beeping sound computer monitors make as they render text. Wtf?

When the computer hacker character clicks 8 keystrokes and says, “I’m in!”

Enhance!

The part in Drop Dead Fred where Elizabeth’s best friend’s house boat sinks and she gets rich off the insurance payout. That’s not how that works unfortunately.

Two people draw guns in each other’s faces point blank but nobody fires. Instead they have a tense conversation.

Talkin’ to you, Malcolm Reynolds and Saffron (or Yolanda or Bridget or whatever).

Quiet conversations on airplanes and dance floors as if there’s no background noise.

Anything gun related in most movies is probably wrong

The horror movie character who searches a scary room by walking in and immediately looking intently up at the ceiling, while slowly turning around until he ends up backing into the dangerous thing he somehow didn’t notice.
