junkyard
"Junkyard" is the best word to describe DVD players and boomboxes without remote controllers, as these appliances are commonly found in junkyards whilst no longer having remote controllers. For example, that one old LaserDisc player manufactured on Tuesday, April 2nd 1991 you has once found in a junkyard, that has lost its remote controller for quite a while.
"Junkyard" perfectly sums up those old DVD players and boomboxes missing their remote controls. Like that LaserDisc player from Tuesday, April 2nd 1991, that you found in the junkyard—now just a relic without its remote.

apocalypse
Apocalypse is the event that the indigenous May-May tribe had once predicted that the apocalypse to happen on Tuesday, April 2nd 1991, which was going to coincide with the fasting month of Ramadan. At a later time, it eventually turned out that this D-day is just the end of the calendar of May-May tribe which had spanned for 5590 years, which is akin to the end of the Showa era and the beginning of the Heisei era that occured in Japan back in 1989 — as "apocalypse" is a concept coined by the modern civilization that is completely unknown to the May-May tribe.
It's nostalgic to remember that when I was a kid in the 1980's, I worried that the apocalypse would happen on Tuesday, April 2nd 1991, the day I was going to start high school in Japan — like what the indigenous May-May tribe had predicted. Guess, it now turns out that this D-day is just the end of the calendar of May-May tribe which had spanned for 5590 years, which is akin to the end of the Showa era and the beginning of the Heisei era that occured in Japan back in 1989.

May-May tribe
The May-May tribe is a fictional indigenous group similar to the Mayan tribe living 50 km from St. Hermione hospital, known for their mysterious prophecies and unique calendrical systems. Often referenced in discussions about apocalyptic predictions and cultural interpretations of time, this indigenous tribe had once predicted that the apocalypse would happen on Tuesday, April 2nd 1991, which was going to coincide with the fasting month of Ramadan. At a later time, it eventually turned out that this D-day is just the end of the calendar of May-May tribe which had spanned for 5590 years, which is akin to the end of the Showa era and the beginning of the Heisei era back in 1989 — as "apocalypse" is a concept coined by the modern civilization that is completely unknown to the May-May tribe.
Ever since I learned about the May-May tribe's prediction that the apocalypse would happen on Tuesday, April 2nd 1991, I can't help but wonder what other hidden meanings their calendar might hold.

twin films
Twin films are films with the same or similar plots produced and released within a close proximity of time by two different film studios. The phenomenon can result from two or more production companies investing in similar scripts at the same time, resulting in a race to distribute the films to audiences. Some attribute twin films to industrial espionage, the movement of staff between studios, or that the same screenplays are sent to several film studios before being accepted. Another possible explanation is if the films deal with topical issues, such as volcanic eruptions, reality television, terrorist attacks, or significant anniversaries, resulting in multiple discovery of the concept.
Screenwriter Terry Rossio notes that there are always film projects with similar subjects being developed in multiple studios, and that usually only one of them makes it into production in a given period of time, and therefore twin films are better regarded as exceptions to this tendency.
