Are you one of those people who obsess over Easter eggs, hidden images, subtle dialogue, foreshadowing, and the backstories about how and why movies are made?
Well, this article isn’t for you.
If you’re one of those people who laughs at the dumb shit that happens in movies – and life – you’ve come to the right place.
My new favorite sub-Reddit is /shittymoviedetails.
Created two years ago, this Reddit section of the website is dedicated to poking fun at movies, pop culture, actors, plots, and sometimes just life in general.
Honestly, it’s hard to accurately describe this sub-Reddit. That’s the closest I can get and you’ll have to just figure out the rest for yourself.
Instead of explaining, it’s much easier to just share the funniest, weirdest, and most bizarre submissions from the last year.
In The Matrix, the name “Neo” is an anagram of “one”, foreshadowing how many good Matrix movies there would be.

In the Sonic The Hedgehog movie trailer you can see 22 coins instead of stars in the Paramount logo. This is a subtle nod to the fact that this movie will make 22 USD at the box office.

In the Toy Story movies, Andy’s mom never remarries. This is a subtle nod to how Andy and his mom were better off without a stepdad, just like how my mom and I are better off without Trevor. Stop dating my mom Trevor you stupid dick.

In Dark Phoenix (2019), it’s explained that Quicksilver doesn’t actually move fast, but rather slows down time around him. What I just said might be true, might not. You wouldn’t know, you didn’t watch the movie. Neither did I.
