The series *Nautilus* is inspired by Jules Verne’s *Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Seas*, delving deeper into the backstory of Captain Nemo. The first episode reveals Nemo was imprisoned by the East India Company and forced to construct an advanced submarine, also named the *Nautilus*. He and his fellow prisoners then rebelled, took control of the submarine, and embarked on a journey to evade the Company, seeking wealth to secure their freedom.

Wilder was a versatile and brilliant director, but this 1944 film remains particularly beloved by fans – and even counts Stephen King among its admirers.

Since October 16th, the highly anticipated documentary *Devil in Disguise: John Wayne Gacy* has been available on Peacock and is already generating a lot of discussion.

Here are 10 comedies that still appeal mostly to a dedicated fanbase. You often need to ‘get’ the inside jokes or understand the references to really enjoy them.

You probably recognize Candy from shows like *SCTV* (a Canadian comedy similar to *Saturday Night Live* from the late 70s and early 80s), or films such as *Home Alone*, *Uncle Buck*, *Spaceballs*, and *Planes, Trains and Automobiles*.
