- Willard’s Fernwood success in the 1970s complicates his Apex candidacy. — Bill Simmons
- John Michael Higgins receives an Apex yes. — Mallory Rubin
- O’Hara receives no settled alternate peak, with Home Alone, Beetlejuice, Schitt’s Creek and After Hours discussed instead of this film. — Bill Simmons
- McKean’s Apex is placed at Better Call Saul. — Mallory Rubin
- Coolidge’s Apex is The White Lotus, while Legally Blonde and Stifler’s Mom support the possibility of more than one peak; a confused Stacy’s Mom song reference is explicitly corrected. — Mallory Rubin
- Willard’s Apex is ultimately no; dog shows are qualified against Westminster itself, while goat roasting, AM Philadelphia, terrier songs, American Bitch and pet-owner movies receive affirmative responses. — Mallory Rubin
- Lynch’s Apex is Glee. — Bill Simmons
- Posey’s peak is tentatively placed in the mid-1990s, with Dazed and Confused and Guffman mentioned, although her lack of a clear major peak is lamented. — Bill Simmons
- Levy’s Apex is Schitt’s Creek, including the added significance of working with his son. — Bill Simmons
