Most convoluted Rick Roll ever
Just watched the new Knives Out and I think it's really important you know that the scene in the Seminary's Gym is filmed in the same place Rick Astley filmed the music video for Never Gonna Give You Up.

I saw the window tracery and immediately made my friends pause the film so I could tell them.

Piranha Plants in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door are the sleepiest creatures in the game, with some of their subtypes being up to 110% sleepy. This may be a reference to the famously sleepy Piranha Plants from Super Mario 64.

Some further research tells me the film in question was *not* the 2014 one, hence the rating being a 12

Spotted at a charity shop not far from the @lateralcast.com live show (which was excellent)
This copy of the film *is* rated 12 though
