  • Glenn Close’s short haircut is called the clearest dated style.
  • Return of the Secaucus 7 comparisons still hang over the movie as an easy criticism.
  • The short-lived television adaptation Hometown is mentioned with surprise; a participant says they have not seen it.
  • Treating insomnia with a huge cold-cut sandwich and Richard sitting alone downstairs now read strangely.
  • Meg smokes everywhere, even while folding clean laundry, while wondering why she cannot keep a man.
  • “I’m opening a club like Elaine’s, but hipper” is offered as a separate Aged Worst answer.
