Today, we look at the Only Murders in the Building opening title Easter Egg for the fourth episode of Season 3, “The White Room.”
In Pop Culture Easter Eggs, I share with you pop culture “easter eggs.” An easter egg is a joke/visual gag/homage/in-joke that is hidden in works that you are meant to find (just like an easter egg). They range from the not-so-obscure to the really obscure. So come check ’em all out and enjoy!
The excellent Hulu TV series, Only Murders in the Building, created by Steve Martin and John Hoffman and starring Martin, Martin Short and Selena Gomez, has a brilliant opening title sequence that include Easter Eggs hinting as to the plot of the episode in question.
Season 3 is currently airing, so I’ll share the easter egg for each episode after it airs.
Obviously, SPOILERS AHEAD!
THE WHITE ROOM
This is a pretty straightforward one, and also the first one that ISN’T in the credits when the special guest star credits come out (but it is also the first episode WITHOUT a special guest star, so that might play a part). In any event, in the episode, Charles (Steve Martin) goes into his “White Room” when he stresses out, and sure enough, a bunch of the rooms in the building are lit up with white light…
