** [[DiscussedTrope]] The players point out how surreal it is that a film has a VideoPhone, (which is very much real technology today,) but depicts it as a stationary ''pay phone'', as these have been all but phased out in favour of mobile devices. They conclude that science-fiction writers are often more capable and interested in predicting future techology than the society-changing ''applications'' of said technology.

* VocalDissonance: The Rerollers point out that Pitr *still* sounds like he should have hair. Newcomer Courtney mentions that she pictured him with more of a {{Twink}} look, something akin to an older Jack Frost from WesternAnimation/RiseOfTheGuardians.
