  • Craig introduces the Millennial Missed Reference Power Ranking flex, beginning with Love Boat, Crying Game, Star Trek and Binaca references; it is not yet a numbered ten-entry list.
  • Craig’s missed-reference flex continues with Binaca, Claude Rains, Poltergeist, Tone Lōc, Miami Vice and Connery. Zach dislikes the exorcised-demons punchline and also missed several references when young.
  • The hosts defend dated cultural references as entertaining later discoveries, contrasting Wayne’s World 2 relying on a whole-film Doors parody.

Half-Assed Internet Research

Improvisation; bird movement; Cox’s animal fear and rewatch refusal; Letterman premise; Stoyanovich’s kick; fruit clue; VHS business card

  • Research reports Carrey’s improvised talking-backside routine, bird-inspired movement and deliberately divisive performance; Robin Williams is a comparison for improvisational range.
  • Shadyac’s filmography, Cox’s reported animal fear and the Letterman-inspired pet-detective premise are discussed as production research.
  • Research reports Cox refusing to rewatch the film and Pete Stoyanovich doubling the kick; his later playoff miss prompts a joking curse and comparisons with real missed kicks.
  • Late research notes fruit arranged as a visual clue on Einhorn’s desk and an Ace business card packaged with a VHS edition.
