You Only Move Twice - S8-E2

Trivia: Homer becomes the owner of the Denver Broncos at the end of the episode, much to his chagrin as he preferred to own the Dallas Cowboys and the Broncos are bumbling. In real life, the Broncos won two consecutive Super Bowls not long after this episode aired, while the Cowboys have been mediocre at best since.

Trivia: David Hasselhoff, who has a brief cameo in this film, previously played Nick Fury in the 1998 made-for-TV movie Nick Fury: Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. He had hoped to play the role again in the MCU, even feeling that his portrayal was superior to Samuel L. Jackson's.

Trivia: The title of this episode is an initialism for "Big Dick on Campus." Although numerous episodes of this series had titles that were double entendres, the network censors apparently felt this one was a little too risqué.

Dick Soup for the Soul - S6-E16

Audio problem: When Tommy is talking about how he recruited Sally to help him get into the fraternity, but has gone mad with power, at one point it switches to a wide shot and you can see his mouth isn't moving. (00:19:28)

Trivia: "The Imperial March" - also known as "Darth Vader's Theme" - sounds strikingly similar to the 1932 song "My Woman" by Lew Stone and his Monseigneur Band.

Trivia: In the comics, Mystique in her true form wears a narrow white gown. The reason she is practically nude in the films was because it made it easier for the special effects team to morph her into other characters. Rebecca Romijn has said that wearing nothing but prosthetics and blue body paint was liberating.

Sins of the Father - S1-E10

Trivia: When Batista is pulling up the picture of Dexter and Angela on his computer, if you look closely, you can see some of the emails in his inbox are from Detective Quinn and Vince Masuka, two supporting characters from the original series.

Trivia: After Wayne makes the "cream of some young guy" joke in Benjamin's apartment, there is an awkward pause between everyone. This pause was strategically placed there after test audiences laughed at the joke so hard that no-one in the theater heard the next few lines of dialogue.

Phaneron ★

Audio problem: When Wayne plays the "May I help you?" riff on the black guitar to get the clerk's attention, he ends the riff by manipulating the whammy bar. However, rather than the "scooping" sound that comes from manipulating a whammy bar, the sound heard is actually trilling (rapidly alternating between two or more notes on the same string).
