18 Now-You-Know Movie Facts (Because Your Mother and I Are Worried About You)

It’s about your movie trivia knowledge. Your mother and I raised you right. We raised you to be an aficionado about anything and everything film related. We took you to our own personal film school so you can be proficient in cinema and make us proud.

Your mother and I think it would be best if you learned about these random movie facts to get you back into shape. It’s for your own good. And we love you.
