- No one looks anything up in the yellow pages or fact-checks anything; today someone would check Instagram, and the obvious move of going to her workplace comes only at the end.
- Citing the oral history and a Peter Gallagher interview with Vulture, the hosts say the script changed on set for the worse; two throwaway lines about Lucy's body (a flat chest, and fitting into her pants) are out of sync with the rest of her portrayal.
- Joe Jr. is an unneeded, distracting C plot filling the best-friend comedy slot and is a little scene-chewy; more time with the family would have been better.
- Ultimately the lack of checking up on who she is has aged the absolute worst.
