My second reaction: "holy rurol juror! rorul? rurowl?"
This is brilliant and a work of art. They should make the "As seen in" more pronounced (took me a while to find) with an IMDB link and it'd be cool to have preview clips like the autoplaying ones Netflix has but as a montage from the original source so we can see the context (though I realize that may be an unrealistic amount of work).
Curious, I checked Indian law and found detailed 'Exceptions To Infringement Under Copyright Act, 1957'[1].
Namely,
> (ii) criticism or review, whether of that work or of any other work;
Meaning I could theoretically create Wiscrack type video for a Bollywood movie and would be legally valid. But alas, I know for certain that if I'm critical of some movie or say even a TV serial I'll be sued my butts off the next day and I may or may not get vindicated in next 10 years.
I would really like to showcase the casual marital rape attempts or pseudoscience from TV serials, But it's not worth the fallout. Apart from copyright, They would file for defamation as well.
Recently an Indian media conglomerate filed $13,7 million defamation on a smaller YouTube based news outlet for criticizing their reportage[2]

I think they compare URLs to popular other domains.
The new movie also implies the genie to be the storyteller, as Will Smith tells the story of Aladdin in the live action version. But this time, the storyteller is a sailor.
------
Shaharazad was the first to tell the story of Aladdin in 1001 Arabian nights. So it always was a story inside a story. Shaharazad wants to delay her execution, so she keeps telling stories to the sultan.
--------
Princess Bride novel is written by fictional authors, who are providing historic and dueling commentary. It is clear that some of the later fictional authors have erased part of the story.
So it too is a book within a book (which translated into a movie within a movie, with grandpa removing some bits of the story to make it more palpable to the kid)
Aladdin’s tale wasn’t part of the original text[1]:
> Known along with Ali Baba as one of the "orphan tales", the story was not part of the original Nights collection and has no authentic Arabic textual source, but was incorporated into the book Les mille et une nuits by its French translator, Antoine Galland.
From the “Contribute” page[1]:
> Nestflix is a wiki dressed up as a streaming platform that catalogs fictional films and tv shows inside real movies and tv shows.
The Princess Bride scenes were neither film nor show, so it doesn’t count.
> Or Aladdin (1992), framed as a tale told by a peddler. I was disappointed that the story didn't come back to the peddler at the end, it felt like an unclosed parenthesis.
That was the original idea[2][3].

This one had me dying with laughter! I read the punchline in Richard Attenborough's voice.
"The Sun Also Sets" is the fictional soap opera in the 1991 movie Soapdish.
Ultra-Max is the fictional (and lethal) game show in the third season of Futureman.
Not sure if "Pigs in Space" from The Muppet Show counts.
And I suspect there are a lot more missing from the Simpsons, like "Blood on the Blackboard: The Bart Simpson Story".
CanIUse [0] says the format is supported in Firefox only "via the image.avif.enabled pref in about:config." Sounds like you have it enabled but either actual support is buggy or the site's .avif files are somehow out of spec.
I'm not sure if this is an image error or a Firefox issue, I have heard about Chrome being more lenient than spec when loading avif images. I might look into that a little more and maybe file a Firefox bug to see what they think, I'll update here if so.
Seems like the IP was used as C2C some years ago.
Or maybe they do, and Quad9 just isn't one they have a relationship with.
I don't seem to see "The eyes of the heart 2"[0]! Unfortunately the programmer only accepts additions via github and I don't have an account (yet)...
I don't want many movies so the context is often lost on me but this one had me dying

Also, missed opportunity for "Metaflix"
