- Hilarious in Hindsight:
- Six years after this episode aired, Dan Castellaneta would have a role in an actual superhero movie- produced by Fox, even.
- As for the movie posters seen when the patrons leave the Everyman screening, Alvin and the Chipmunks would get a third movie titled Chipwrecked, Harry Potter sure gets a "Welcome Back, Potter" with The Deathly Hallows. and Star Wars? Yep, it gets an Episode VII alright!
- Unintentional Period Piece: After the test screening, one of the executives at Ginormous Pictures tells Jeff that the film was so bad, the projectionist hung himself with the last reel. After a few years, not only film reels had been mostly replaced by digital means of distribution, but also the use of Suicide as Comedy became unacceptable on mainstream media.
