If you've ever sat down to watch a TV show and, in the middle of a scene, felt a sense of déjà vu, you're not alone. Since the dawn of television, TV writers, directors, and cinematographers have paid respect to their favorite films in some really creative ways.
Animated shows are particularly fond of live-action movies; The Simpsons, for instance, has referenced dozens of films in its 27-year run. Watch the video above to see 28 ways television shows have referenced famous films.
We're here to shed some clarity
One of our core beliefs here at Vox is that everyone needs and deserves access to the information that helps them understand the world, regardless of whether they can pay for a subscription. With the 2024 election on the horizon, more people are turning to us for clear and balanced explanations of the issues and policies at stake. We’re so grateful that we’re on track to hit 85,000 contributions to the Vox Contributions program before the end of the year, which in turn helps us keep this work free. We need to add 2,500 contributions this month to hit that goal.
Will you make a contribution today to help us hit this goal and support our policy coverage? Any amount helps.
