Factual error: Most ventilation ducts are not large enough for a person to crawl around in, and any duct large enough for an adult to fit in wouldn't be able to support the person's weight. In the rare event that a company could afford a large ventilation system that could support a person's weight, they would likely forgo it anyway, as it would pose a security risk.

Natural Born Killers (1994)
Question: When Woody Harrelson is eating the key lime pie in the opening scene, how exactly was that pie made? It looked more translucent like Jello, as opposed to regular key lime pies, which resemble cheese cake.
Answer: My take: The Key Lime pie Mickey eats in the diner looks cheap and trashy on purpose... a garish trailer park version of that pie. The crust isn't even cooked. I think it has more to do with the demographic theme of the diner patrons rather than Harrelson being a vegan.

Boy Meets World (1993)
Deliberate mistake: Morgan turns on the stereo and starts dancing on the sofa with her doll. She then tosses her doll, which tips over a plant and breaks the glass on a set of French doors. The stereo magically stops the moment the glass breaks.

Space Jam (1996)
Trivia: After the Monstars steal the talents of five NBA players, the NBA suspends its season fearing an unknown contagion could be affecting its players. This ended up becoming a reality for the NBA in March 2020, as the NBA indefinitely suspended its season following the discovery that Utah Jazz All-Star Rudy Gobert (and later his teammate Donovan Mitchell) tested positive for COVID-19.

Boy Meets World (1993)
Question: When Mr. Feeny is talking to Cory in the cafeteria about his score on the IQ test, Feeny is shown purchasing a coffee from the vending machine. Are there actual elementary schools in the United States with coffee vending machines where prepubescent students have the ability to purchase a beverage more suited for younger adults and older? This isn't the faculty cafeteria mind you, because it's the same cafeteria the students are shown occupying throughout the first season. Seems a little irresponsible on the school's part to give students access to coffee.
Chosen answer: In the present day, with the United States abiding by more stricter school health laws, for the most part this wouldn't be in school cafeterias as many cannot even have carbonated beverage machines now. However, in the 90s when the show takes place, it wasn't unheard of for there to be coffee machines in the cafeteria of small schools where the teachers eat with the students as we see them do often in the show. The idea being that the cafeteria was small enough so a teacher or hall monitor could catch a student before they could drink the coffee.

Silver Sable: I am not a criminal. I am merely a professional for hire.
Spider-Man: Which means you just work for whichever creep pays the most. I think I prefer these guys over here. Their dishonesty is more honest.

Impractical Jokers: The Movie (2020)
Trivia: The name of the club in Miami where they meet Paula Abdul is Santiago's. This is a reference to an imaginary character from the TV series, usually mentioned by one of the Jokers as being the person who sent them to talk to whichever unsuspecting prank victim they approach.

Neogenic Nightmare Chapter 1: The Insidious Six - S2-E1
Stupidity: When the Kingpin is breaking all of the supervillains out of prison, Shocker, Scorpion and Mysterio all have their costumes, weapons and gadgets conveniently stored at the prison, which makes their escape easier. Surely a prison wouldn't keep superpowered weapons and costumes in the same place where the inmates are being held. They would be stored in a federal evidence locker.

Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker (2019)
Trivia: The opening crawl makes reference to Palpatine announcing his return from the dead through a broadcast. The film itself doesn't reveal what was said in the broadcast, but it was revealed in a Star Wars Fortnite event. The exact broadcast is as follows: "At last the work of generations is complete. The great error is corrected. The day of victory is at hand. The day of revenge. The day of the Sith."

General questions
When I was a little kid I checked out a Batman graphic novel from the library. It had a lot of his rogues gallery in it, most if not all of whom were killed in it. I specifically remember Catwoman being shot and her dying words were along the lines of "Batman, I'm so cold." Batman then kissed her before she died. Does anyone know what the name of this graphic novel/storyline is?
Answer: All Stars #17?
Based on my Google search results, "All-Star Batman" is a more recent publication. The year I read the book in question was probably 1993, so it was probably published in the late 80s or early 90s.
I believe the answer should have been DC Super-Stars #17. That issue features the death of the Earth Two Selina Kyle as part of the origin story of her daughter, Helena Kyle (The Huntress).
That's not it either, unfortunately. I specifically remember Killer Croc being in this, because it was the first time I ever heard of him, and he didn't debut until 1983, six years after DC Superstars #17. I think Batman killed Joker at the end out of revenge for Catwoman. With so many other characters being killed in it, I'm pretty certain it was an Elseworld story and not connected to whatever the main DC universe is or was at the time.

Spider-Man (1994)
Spider Wars, Chapter 1: I Really, Really Hate Clones - S5-E12
Character mistake: When the group of Spider-Men are breaking into the Kingpin's building through the front door, Octo-Spidey uses a laser to cut a circle in the door and then proceeds to tear the door off its hinges with his robotic arms. Since he was just able to simply tear the door off, there was no need for him to cut the hole in the door in the first place. It's not like he needed to reach through the hole with one of the arms to unlock it from the other side.

Answer: Yes, it definitely does not look like a key lime pie. I suspect that because Woody Harrelson is a strict vegan, that it is a substitute made with vegan ingredients.
