27 Movie Trivia Nuggets from Pop Culture History for Tuesday, December 2, 2025
I’m not usually the type to spiral over spoilers. As my favorite author Brandon Sanderson likes to say, it’s more about the journey than the destination. But plot twists are sacred. There’s a world of difference between learning a small detail about a character and being handed the one revelation that rewires the entire movie from the very first scene. That sort of thing crosses the line from being a spoiler to just straight sabotage.
Not every plot twist happens on screen, though. Sometimes, the craziest scenes go down when the camera isn't rolling. Here's a list of behind-the-scenes facts that will change the way you see your favorite movies forever.
