- The hosts say Butler graduated from law school in Glasgow, was a trainee solicitor, got fired and became an actor.
- The hosts report Butler's own account that the film messed with him, and he went away to hike and then to India; he is called one of the most interesting people and a wished-for podcast guest.
- They filmed in Philadelphia; the hosts quote Butler that veteran crew were stunned by the cellmate killing and the ratings board said it would be rated NC 17, so it was cut down.
- Nomos, Clyde's janitor identity, is said to mean law in Greek.
- The hosts note Bruce McGill has two car-explosion deaths, the other in The Last Boy Scout; a website tracking actors' movie deaths is pitched.
