We hope you’re not the “ignorance is bliss” type. The mere fact that you’re here right now tells us that you’re not, but if you are, get ready for your blissful little world to be shattered.

Not only will you never look at these movies and TV shows the same way again, you’ll also never watch new movies and TV shows the same way again. As you watch every scene, you’ll always be on the lookout for hidden jokes, references or details like those below.
