Interstellar Effect

Also referred to as the Interstellar Parable, The Interstellar Effect is a the idea that if someone perceives experience as popular/mainstream and they themselves have had that experience that everyone else must also have that experience, and anyone who hasn't has strayed from the norm. This is most commonly observed when referred to media such as movies, songs, or pop culture figures.

"I couldn't imagine watching my daughter grow up in just a view videos like in Interstellar would be horrible"
"Oh yeah, I actually haven't seen Insterstellar"
"You HAVEN'T seen Interstellar?! Everyone has seen that movie, it's like sooo famous"
"That's actually the Interstellar Effect, just cause you've seen it, doesn't mean everyone else has"

Hoodwinked Effect

The erroneous classification of a piece of media as "lost" when it is merely extant and unavailable on mainstream streaming platforms.

Many people online labelled a game as "lost media" even though it just wasn't available on Steam or Epic. You can just grab it from your local video game retailer. This is what's called the Hoodwinked Effect.
