Ash vs Evil Dead picture

Trivia: Almost all of the rock songs in the soundtrack (which are primarily songs Ash listens to on the radio) are from the 1970's and 1980's. This was done on purpose, to help illustrate how Ash has been stuck in a state of emotional arrested development since his original adventures - he hasn't really grown as a person since.

Theater of Pain - S1-E3

Trivia: The name on Jenkins' disguise is "Chuck Spadina." When Keanu Reeves first came to Hollywood, he was told his name was "a little too exotic," and it was suggested he should change his name. Chuck Spadina was one option he considered, although apparently not very seriously.

Daredevil: Born Again picture

Trivia: This series was roughly halfway through filming its 18 planned episodes when Marvel suddenly scrapped it and decided to start over and have just 9 episodes and hire a showrunner (a first for a Marvel Disney+ series). Reportedly, the original writing had a very legal procedural format, and Matt Murdock didn't even suit up as Daredevil until the 4th episode. In the process of revamping the series, Marvel decided to officially make the original Netflix show canon to the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

The Ghost Talks - S1-E21

Trivia: Mike Pratt (playing Jeff Randall) really was laid up in a hospital bed with two broken legs. Mike Pratt was attempting to climb a drainpipe in a slightly inebriated state during his 38th birthday celebrations. He fell 20 feet into the basement area. He'd forgotten his keys, and saw the stand-in doing it - successfully - first. Mike being Mike, he thought, "I can do that" and had a go. Jeff's 'in character' excuse in the show was that he'd fallen from a balcony in a chase - a little more dignified than the truth.
