Go To

  • Harsher in Hindsight: There are a couple of outros where Starlee gushes about Gimlet or their other shows that read differently after their somewhat bitter parting.
  • One-Scene Wonder:
    • In episode one, we have the friendly neighborhood bar patrons who cheerfully tell Starlee about their beloved mom-and-pop video store that closed down. Especially the gentleman who engages with her in a very heart-felt conversation about the film La Strada and lost love.
    • Episode two has Dennis, the customer service rep who Starlee gets into a similarly deep conversation with.
    • Episode five has Starlee's friend Sloane, who was brave enough to approach Jake Gyllenhaal in a restaurant and ask him how tall he is, only to get conflicting answers from him and his mother.
    • Episode six has Alan Sacks, co-creator of Welcome Back, Kotter, who shares an epic story about being held at gunpoint by Phil Spector.
  • Sophomore Slump: It's mentioned that Andrea's first book actually did okay, and was even written about in People Magazine. Her second book, not so much.
