More often than not, what gets us to keep tuning in to our favorite TV shows, or drawn to certain movies, is to get a glimpse into various professions which fascinate us, but which we wouldn't ever want to work ourselves.

Needless to say, there aren't many people who find the Indiana Jones films to be a remotely accurate depiction of archaeology, or that the Jurassic Park films show what paleontology is really like.

But many people tend to watch iconic procedurals like Grey's Anatomy and Law & Order under the notion that they both give an accurate depiction of the medical field and the legal world.

Only, how accurate are they?

Redditor Just_Surround_2108 was curious to learn which professions have been documented on screen without as much research as one might expect, leading them to ask:

"What profession does Hollywood get completely wrong in films and TV?"


In case you had any doubts about hacking...

"Programming."

"Don't nobody code that fast lol."- lmoore0621

The better question is, what does Hollywood get right?

"Programming/hacking."

"Just about anything medical, including deaths."

"Just about anything dealing with space."

"Just about anything dealing with natural disasters."

"Actually, now that I think about it, I don't think Hollywood really gets anything right about anything."- Xyrus2000

"Objection!"

"Big-shot lawyers."

"Especially in big firms, it’s a lot of just endless hours in front of a desk doing doc review."

"Sincerely, someone studying to do endless hours in front of a desk doing doc review."- geeeeeetar

Drop that baton!

"Conductor/performer."

"Oh my god just take a lesson or two and learn how to hold the instrument right."- soysaucemmm

Crunching those numbers... incorrectly...

Accountants. I'm sorry, but the action Thriller "The Accountant" starring Ben Aff-lack, was in no way a true representation of my job. - User Deleted

Defying all laws of motion...

"Physicists."

"It's hilarious how they act!."- Prestigious-Order-62

At least depending on where you went to school...

"Teaching."- sarahaudley

If we're being honest, most people tune in to watch films or television shows to escape from reality, and aren't usually looking for a documentary on these professions.

Though, for anyone thinking they want to be a scientist after watching Back To The Future... you might want to really think that one over...

Elon Musk Shades Trump After Old Video Of Him Calling Out Government For Not Prosecuting Epstein Clients Resurfaces

On Saturday, February 21, the X account Thomas Sowell Quotes (@ThomasSowell) posted a video of platform owner Elon Musk speaking to former Fox News talking head Tucker Carlson. The post didn't include tags or hashtags.

The 43-second clip, from an over one hour interview, featured the pair laughing about the disparity between the prosecution of the violent insurrectionists who stormed the United States Capitol on January 6, 2021, versus Jeffrey Epstein's friends and clients who trafficked and sexually exploited young women and children.

Gavin Newsom Says What We're All Thinking After Women's Hockey Team Declines Trump's State Of The Union Invite Amid Locker Room Phone Call Controversy

California Governor Gavin Newsom praised the U.S. Women’s Hockey Team after they announced they will not accept President Donald Trump’s invitation to attend his State of the Union address, coming one day after he quipped to the U.S. Men’s Hockey Team that failing to invite the women as well might get him impeached.

The development followed the Americans’ victory over Canada to claim gold in Thursday’s Olympic women’s hockey final. The U.S. Men’s Hockey Team also captured gold on Sunday with another win over Canada.

C-SPAN Issues Clarification After Video Goes Viral Of Man Who Sounds Like Trump Calling Into C-SPAN Under Fake Name

C-SPAN issued a clarification after a caller identifying himself as “John Barron” — a pseudonym long associated with Donald Trump — phoned into its program Washington Journal, leading some viewers to suspect the president had personally joined the broadcast.

The caller, identified as "John Barron" and described as a Republican from Virginia, drew attention for a voice that closely resembled that of Trump as he criticized what he called the Supreme Court’s “worst decision” against his emergency tariffs. The name itself raised eyebrows, since "John Barron" was a pseudonym Trump frequently used in the 1980s when speaking to reporters while posing as his own spokesman.
