Jake And Bender Share A Voice

John DiMaggio doesn't just voice Jake the Dog, he's also the guy behind Bender in Futurama, and honestly you can hear a bit of Bender's swagger in Jake's delivery. The connection got a fun little nod when Finn and Jake popped up for a quick cameo in the Futurama episode "Leela and the Genestalk."

The Gamestation 5 in the Mansion

Head into the big house on the Estate multiplayer map and check the rack underneath the TV in the main hall. There's a console sat there called a 'Gamestation 5', a cheeky PlayStation dig, with a couple of games next to it: 'Italian Plumber Princess Rescue' and 'Deer Hunter 17'. Not exactly subtle, but funny every time.

A Ghost Station Got Used for Filming

London's underground has a handful of disused 'ghost stations' that no longer see any trains, and the production used one of them, the closed Aldwych station, while filming The Empty Hearse.

The Ridge Racer Track

One of the more fiddly secrets in the game unlocks a genuine little race track. You have to stand in two very specific spots and aim your reticule just right, and the payoff is a wink to Ridge Racer. It's the kind of thing that only exists because someone on the dev team clearly loved that series.

Thirteen Nominations, Four Wins

The Fellowship of the Ring picked up thirteen Oscar nominations, including Best Picture and Best Director, and walked away with four wins: Best Cinematography, Best Makeup, Best Original Score and Best Visual Effects.

Lee Pace Joined the Cast to Play Thragg

Season 4 brought in some heavy hitters, with Lee Pace stepping in to voice Thragg, one of the show's most dangerous Viltrumite threats, alongside Matthew Rhys joining the cast in the same run. It's part of a pattern of the show continuing to pull in bigger names as the story escalates.

A Premiere in Disguise

Marvel exec Isaac Perlmutter famously avoided cameras and interviews, but he wasn't about to miss opening night for the studio's first film. He reportedly showed up at the premiere wearing a fake mustache and glasses so he could watch it happen without being recognised.

The Composer Who Never Shows Up Without His Dog

Series composer Yuki Hayashi is apparently something of a dog person, to the point where interviewers and photographers note he'll almost always have one of his dogs with him whenever he's being profiled or photographed.

Harley's Pregnancy Test

Next to a mannequin wearing Harley Quinn's old Arkham Asylum outfit, there's a pregnancy test lying around, and it's reading positive. Stick around through the credits of a New Game Plus run and you'll hear Tara Strong's Harley humming a version of 'Hush, Little Baby,' which only adds to the theory. It's never brought up again in any Arkham game or comic tie-in, so it's basically just left hanging.

The Thor Post-Credits Scene Wasn't Even Filmed for This Movie

That quiet, chilling shot of Coulson finding Mjolnir in the New Mexico crater wasn't shot specifically for Iron Man 2 at all, it was actually filmed on the set of Thor and directed by Kenneth Branagh, not Jon Favreau.
