Investigating Pop Culture Easter Eggs!

March 27th, 2017 Robby Shuttleworth Features, Lists & Things

This month, while our team tries to “Investigate” that dark shadowy forest or the noise coming from the attic, we’re bringing you some fun of your own to investigate, right from the comfort of your couch! That’s right- we’re talking Easter Eggs!

No, not the colorful eggs you hide, but the ones included in most aspects of movies, television, and video games. But just what are Easter Eggs? Easter Eggs are jokes or references hidden away in a scene, hard to spot but fun to realize when you do! The folks over at Disney/Pixar are famous for slipping Easter Eggs into their films. Head here for more on the origin of Easter Eggs and some examples of where you can find them!

Stranger Things vs. Stephen King’s Needful Things

You can’t have a list about Easter Eggs without including the Netflix hit, Stranger Things. Chock full of nostalgia for the 80’s, you will also find the title card of the show shares a similar look and sound to a Stephen King novel, Needful Things. Check out the comparison for yourself!

The Endings of Clue

Loot Crate, in the Library, with the multiple endings! Did you know that Clue filmed three different endings? Movie theaters were sent one of the three endings to show to audiences. If you wanted to, you could see the film again and see the movie in a different light! When the film was released on DVD, the endings were compiled to play one after the other, showing that just like the board game inspiration, anything can happen!

Daredevil and The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

Stick with us on this one! Fans of both Daredevil and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles often say the two co-exist in the same universe. According to theory, the can of sludge/ooze/insert name here that caused Matt Murdock’s blindness is also the same that created the Ninja Turtles. What do you think?

Hans Zimmer Spells It Out For Us

Can you spot the bat?

Investigate would not be complete without a bit of the Caped Crusader! This Easter Egg is actually in song! On the soundtrack for the 2005 film Batman Begins, composer Hans Zimmer hid the name of the crime-fighter in the song titles!

Do you speak Alien?

Easter Egg continuity is key, which can be said of the appearance of the Alien language throughout the series Futurama. Appearing in a slew of episodes, the language has been decoded by fans of the show. You can check out the translations on your own if you’re curious to know what they say.

Tron Enjoys Arcade Games

You’ll find this one posted just last week on the Daily Crate! If you look closely during these scene from Tron, you’ll see a familiar character with a hunger for those appetizing looking dots!

Look to the left of the photo for the Easter Egg!

Tell us some of the Easter Eggs you’ve found when watching a movie, television show, or playing a video game. Use the hashtag #EEInvestigate!

You can find some of the franchises above in this month’s Loot Crate, Loot Wear, and Loot Crate DX. Order by April 19th to get one of your own!
