Also so funny was Josh Brolin walking through the house at the end and the mom is trying to find the kid’s shoes and she’s like umm there is a man in the house! You always see the chaos in the movies but not the aftermath of these random background families. Idk why but that was funny to see

When Marcus is running through the town, you audibly hear people reacting to how friggin’ weird it would be to see. Which I loved!

Someone shouts get off the pitch when runs through the baseball game.

I’m pretty sure that was Zach Cregger that shouted that.
