The Black Phone picture

Character mistake: In the very beginning at the baseball game the runner is running to second base and the fielder doesn't even try to tag him out. Just runs right by him and gets the ball to the pitcher. (00:00:53)

Suggested correction: The center fielder missed the ball and the right fielder got it. The second baseman was at the border of the infield and outfield and the right fielder may not have noticed that the short stop moved to cover second base. By this time, the players might have been more concerned over the opposing team scoring a run because a player had advanced to third base. It was a "revealing" mistake or overall "stupidity" by the team as each player was playing "musical positions" more so than good baseball.

With regard to "revealing", the players may have been instructed to be active on the field and cover bases for each other as needed and this was the "mess" they produced.

Suggested correction: Baseball players make mental errors all the time, even major leaguers.

I've watched the scene a few times and can't agree or disagree with the mistake, but it certainly doesn't look like a mental error one would see in a game, even a little league game. It just looked like two kids were given directions what to do and the timing might have been off and the director on set didn't bother changing it. (I'm not disagreeing or agreeing with the correction either, just making a statement to help others decide).

The Free Fall picture

Character mistake: Over the phone, Julie told her sister Sara, " I got them [parents] a bouquet", pronouncing the "T" in bouquet. Bouquet has French origin so the "T" is silent. Bouquet is properly pronounced like bow-kay (American English) or boo-kay (British English). (00:00:55)

Don't Let Her In picture

Character mistake: Amber was a poster artist and Ben was a musician. Amber said to Serena, "You know a lot of people and can afford rent, so why do you want to live downtown?" The downtown area or center of a city is especially attractive to artists (as Amber should know) for its art/cultural/entertainment opportunities and experiences. Amber was also implying that it was more expensive to live in the suburbs than in a downtown apartment (where rent can be unaffordable to all but at least the upper-middle class). (00:07:20)

Bad Blood picture

Character mistake: Marjorie's supervisor said the police found Nathan "torturing an animal [dog], there was a struggle and he assaulted one of them." Marjorie then asked, "Is he violent?" Her supervisor replied, "I have no reason to believe so. I mean, he did resist arrest, but that's probably out of fear" and the mental health team said there was "no obvious psychopathy." Social workers/mental health teams should have assessed cruelty to animals and resisting arrest as indicators of potential for violence. (00:03:55 - 00:04:30)
