** The episode portrays Steven Spielberg as the mastermind behind all the alterations being made, with George Lucas weakly following along. In real life, Spielberg came to regret changing ''Film/ETTheExtraTerrestrial'' and made sure all future theatrical and home releases of the film were the original version, and never edited his movies again. Meanwhile, Lucas continued to alter the ''Franchise/StarWars'' films up until Disney bought the rights. Creator/FrancisFordCoppola, who briefly appears late in the episode, would also re-edit ''Film/ApocalypseNow'' once again in 2019.
