The Mandela effect: did Sinbad star in a movie called Shazam?

  • Did a Sinbad movie called Shazam actually exist?

A host reads a Relevant Magazine piece about internet users who vividly remember a 1990s Sinbad movie called Shazam that never existed — no records, no VHS, and Sinbad himself denies it — with theories ranging from social contagion of memory to the Mandela effect to a New Statesman investigation. The hosts list Sinbad's actual credits (Jingle All the Way, Good Burger, First Kid, Coneheads) and joke that one host's memory of it must be real because he never socializes. Note: the transcript says 'Mike did not fall to this social contagion' and credits 'Mike' with offering up the false 'Shazam' option — audio-named, per guide.
