* ShoutOut:
** The title of the first short, "Hex and the City", is in reference to ''Series/SexAndTheCity''.
** The second story is a combination of two Sci-Fi movies, ''Film/DemonSeed'' (a story of a sentient house falling in love with a human woman) and the general look of the Computers terminal as well as it's defeat both being references to ''[[Film/TwoThousandOneASpaceOdyssey HAL-9000]].''
** The third short is an obvious homage to ''Literature/HarryPotter'' as, aside from the Cameo by Harry himself, Lord Montymort is parody of Lord Voldemort.
