Similarly, do you remember the series of children’s books being called the Berenstain Bears or the Berenstein Bears?

The movie that doesn’t exist and the Redditors who think it does

Over the years, hundreds of people online have shared memories of a cheesy Nineties movie called “Shazaam”. There is no evidence that such a film was ever made. What does this tell us about the quirks of collective memory?

I thought I did remember this film because I feel like I saw some sort of shit making-of preview on a BBC film show (it was showing off how the special effects were done and “Sinbad” had to ride a bike over a curved green screen wall) but I’m willing to accept this was actually the Shaq film instead.

Sinbad and the eye of the tiger though, what a film!

Something about the way the article was entwined with quotes from Sinbad which had like two likes and one retweet made me think this was all being exaggerated
