- Wasson is emphatically accepted, with later audiobook work noted.
- Griffith loses to Working Girl; De Palma is debated among Scarface, Blow Out, The Untouchables and Carrie, with Scarface’s resulting deal favored.
- 1980s adult films in mainstream movies, Gregg Henry and Frankie Goes to Hollywood are accepted; the band’s 1984 momentum and later soundtrack use are recalled.
- Telescopes and explicit demonstrations of body doubling are accepted; rotating beds are considered but Austin Powers is an alternative, and Barry challenges acting-class scenes.
- Characterful Los Angeles houses are considered but Heat and Greenberg become competing examples, leaving the category unsettled.
