Um actually, this is way too late, but there were three things wrong with that Steven Universe Fusion question: 1) it isn't a ritualised dance, any dance will do as long as both gems have a true relationship, it doesn't even have to be a wholesome relationship, as when Pink Diamond's Topaz fuses with the corrupted Crystal Gem in spite of hating them, or when she fuses with Lapis Lazuli, trapping both of them in an abusive relationship at the bottom of the sea. In fact, I don't think the dance is even strictly necessary, as the first time Garnet formed neither Ruby nor Sapphire were dancing, Ruby was diving in to protect sapphire from falling debris. 2) The one in the show, Garnet isn't a pure gem, she's a fusion. 3) it isn't only Gems, as long as one of them is a gem, humans can be part of fusions: case in point, Steg and Stevonnie. This might be unique to Steven though, as he is the only known half-human Gem. In fact, I'm pretty sure Steven himself is a fusion, of the pink diamond version of himself, and the human parts of himself. That show was weird. Like, I've never partaken of drugs, but that show made me feel like I was on drugs, you know? I hate that I remember this much about it.

Um, actually, it's not just the Crystal Gems who can form fusions but all gems, and not necessarily through dance moves but also accidentally. Also humans can technically form fusions like Stevonnie, but only when there is part gem present

I’m starting to only watch these because they’re fun but also I’m realizing I don’t know any of this

[@elskabee]

the captions have sooo many errors - 'caps' instead of capes - 'Jeez' instead of 'Jeeves' (ruining their joke btw) - 'dead' instead of dad bod probably more i didn't pick up on because i actually need the captions....

[@Neknoh]

Uhm actually, even if represented as Ghormenghast on the front cover of one edition of Titus Groan, the castle in the novel is explicitly described as Gothic, meaning that whatever castle is on the front cover, it cannot technically be Ghormenghast

[@bramvanduijn8086]

Thank you! That one annoyed me, even though I couldn't put my finger on it.

[@deprogramdesensitize]

I think Trapp was sick in this one but still a great episode! Props for powering through :)

[@lordtsweeble2898]

I thought the first two castles on the shiny question were Casterly Rock (GoT) and Dawnguard (Skyrim). Would've still gotten the point, which is all that matters.

And the Frog Thor comes in the NIIIIIIIIIGHT!

Uhm actually, not only was Lavender Brown recast as white when she became a major character (yikes), but in all of the films, a different, larger actor is used for Hagrid in shots looking from afar, to make him look bigger.

[@timmyhkvt]

Ehh, the Lavender Brown case is more complicated than that. Yes, someone else came in when the character became more prominent, but there's no reason to assume shenanigans at the base of the matter. Directors have to cast lots of people in tiny roles, and naturally most of them aren't going to be up to the challenge of being a primary character in multiple scenes in the next movie - or they just did one gig as an extra, and decided not to keep going. Is there any evidence to indicate that this sort of thing isn't what happened with Lavender's actresses?

I think they usually kinda tailor the questions to the guests a bit more and they didn't this time so none of the guests were super into the franchises they were asked about and just didn't know the answers

[@SleepyNoid]

Fun fact about the Star Wars question. They also did not tell Sebastian Shaw in the first movie (episode 4) that his voice was not going to be used. So while on set he was delivering lines, only for James Earl Jones to be dubbed in later, and Sebastian not knowing until the premier.

[@DariaElGrellPozina]

Um, actually, nobody knowing the Steven Universe question is heartbreaking because this show is delightful and deserves way more than it got 🥺🥺🥺

Um actually, lavender brown was also recast.

[@jortasaurus1750]

Um actually, it is explained in the first Jurassic park that the dinosaurs were made with broken dna from dinosaurs en the rest was filled in with frog dna. As it just so happens there is some frogs which when in a complete female environment will turn their gender to male so they can reproduce.

[@violent_bees2414]

Um actually, Amythest is technically not an alien. She was made on Earth albiet by aliens but she herself is not an alien.

[@risottopose9970]

You could argue that because she was alien made she is still alien herself

[@violent_bees2414]

@@risottopose9970 Yeah that’s a fair point but being an alien in this context means that you were not made on Earth. She was grown in/on Earth and was technically birthed there, as seen by her hole.

Um, Actually: Bob Anderson, who was the choreographer for the lightsaber duels in the original trilogy, was also the actor in the suit for some of the fights. He was never credited as such and it was kept secret but Mark Hamill did acknowledge that for some of the scenes it was him in the suit.

[@trantigone]

Um Actually, Crab was recast in Harry Potter due to the original actor being arrested for a marijuana related offense! Fun.

[@osteele9859]

Um, actually he wasn't recast, his role in the scene was replaced with a different character and actor entirely

[@KGillis]

Um, actually, House Lannister is actually cash poor. It's a major point in the books that Casterly Rock's gold mines are running dry, which is why Tywin is working double time to get a Lannister on the throne.

[@EngineerWhen]

So, what you're telling me is that the Joker was dry cleaned?

Um actually, Bilbo doesn't leave the ring on the mantle. He drops it on the floor just inside the door as he leaves.

[@foolyweekums]

Um actually, in Jurassic Park they do explain it in Michael Crichton's book and a tad with the animation in the movie - not all of the dna was dinosaur dna, some was taken from frogs and salamanders which contain the properties to change sex as they mature, which happened to the velociraptors and others

[@jb888888888]

IIRC in the book they say the filled in with assorted junk DNA and it was only the dinos with frog DNA that were able to breed, some of them having turned from female to male. In the movie they say they filled in all the gaps in all the dinos with frog DNA.

[@foolyweekums]

jb888888888 exactly. I think the main ones were compys and raptors but I think there were several others but the amount and danger didn't matter (crept maybe the pteranodon)

I like how we got years of Dropout ads that international audiences couldn't subscribe to and now we're getting HBO Max ads with the same problem

[@eveescastle5866]

Honestly you're not missing out HBO Max is an abysmal platform that doesn't work half the time. I swear I spend more time fighting it trying to get it to work than actually watching anything. My favorite is when I actually get to work and in has a stroke and gives me the Can't play title error while it's still playing in the background. Honestly if it wasn't for the fact I'm not paying for it, I wouldn't use it. You're better off pirating the content on there because at least then you can watch it without issues.
