There have been plenty of fake movies within movies over the years, but only a few seem genuinely interesting enough to make fans wish they were real. Fake movies have historically been used in a variety of ways, although they're often great for parody. Movies about Hollywood can have fake movies as jokes, and some movies take this idea one step further by making fun of themselves with a fictional stand-in.

For a movie within a movie to be truly memorable, it usually has to stand out as something worth watching. This is what differentiates a fake movie that's little more than a joke from something more interesting. It helps if the filmmakers put as much care and effort into their fake movies as their real ones. Some movies within movies have their own fans, even though they don't exist and nobody will ever see them in full.

Exclusive: Spotify is continuing its move to ramp up its video podcasts business.

The streaming service has struck a deal with creator Markiplier to exclusively host the video episodes of his Distractible and Go! My Favorite Sports Team podcasts.

The move comes as the Daniel Ek-led company has been growing its video content, launching video podcasts in 180 markets last year. Popular video podcasts on the service include Alex Cooper’s Call Her Daddy and Anything Goes with Emma Chamberlain.

The deal was announced at Spotify’s Stream On event and video episodes of both shows are available from today. Stream On included a set of other announcements, including an extensive makeover of the Spotify app and the reaching of the milestone of 500 million monthly active users.

Markiplier, real name Mark Fischbach, is one of the most successful and popular YouTube content creators to date. He started his YouTube journey in 2012 as a player of horror games and a decade later, he's expanded into more fields of content for his viewers such as doing product reviews and high-budget skits. While he's undergone some lifestyle changes, Markiplier is still the same charitable goofball many viewers first knew him as in his humble beginnings.

Because he has created a large amount of content over a long period of time, there are many memes of Markiplier that put a spin on his exaggerated reactions and silly moments from his YouTube channel. These jokes have evolved just as Mark has, with some being more prevalent than others. Many of these memes majorly come from Reddit, from the r/Markiplier subreddit.

“All right, here’s the deal. I will start an OnlyFans—if you meet my conditions.”

Markiplier said it, and he’s committed.

In an Oct. 16 YouTube video that’s gotten 4 million views in 22 hours, Markiplier promised to release his “tasteful nudes” on his very own OnlyFans account if—and only if—his fans can boost his two podcasts to the top of Spotify and Apple‘s charts.

“If you’ve been watching my channel for a while, this may not be much of a surprise,” Markiplier says in his video. “You might just roll your eyes and say to yourself, ‘Oh, there goes Mark again, getting naked when nobody asked.’ But if you’re relatively new to my channel, this might be slightly confusing or concerning. But rest assured, I know what I’m doing.”
