Django (2017)
Django is an unusual name, isn’t it? The only people I knew with that name were characters in westerns–white Django in 1966’s Django and black Django in Django Unchained–or the genetic base for Boba Fett. Yes, I know that one’s actually Jango, but still. Turns out it’s a Romani name, which makes using it for a western hero extra unusual. Why pick that name out of all the ones available? It’s almost like there was some famous person named Django that the filmmakers were referencing, but what are the odds of that?

Django (1966)
Did you know that there is going to be TV show based on the character Django? Ms. Noomi Rapace is the only name I recognize in it, but stars Matthias Schoenaerts, who was… uh… DJ Cosmonaut X in Elektra, as well as being in many other movies I haven’t seen.

What If…? – Season 1, Episode 6
You would kind of think that “What If Killmonger Rescued Tony Stark?” would be one of the first episodes of the series, since the first full trailer for the show opened with that moment. But nope! The episode that effectively nullifies the entire MCU comes two-thirds of the way through the first season. Not that I’m complaining, as the first 5 episodes have some really solid entries. But I just really wanted to see more Killmonger, you know?

Cool as Ice (1991)
Mr. Vanilla Ice was never actually cool, right? All I really know about him is that he did “Ninja Rap” for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: The Secret of the Ooze, he copied the baseline in “Ice Ice Baby” from Queen’s “Under Pressure,” and he has an enormous dick. Allegedly. I think he’s more meme than man today, but was he ever actually popular to the masses? Apparently not movie audiences if the failure of Cool as Ice is any indication.
