* LegitimateBusinessmensSocialClub: Discussed in ''Film/TheBoondockSaints 2'' episode, when they mock the fan hysteria and love that the Saints get for murdering mobsters. In the real world, they point out, most people are relatively unconcerned and unaffected by mobster-on-mobster crime and violence, and the only time most civilians will encounter the mob (assuming they have no involvement in criminal activity) will be if they happen to wander into a coffee shop operated by unwelcoming Italian men that never seems to have any coffee in it.

* FormulaBreakingEpisode: To celebrate eight years of the podcast, the December 2018 line-up across their various shows was a "Bizarro Month" where, instead of the usual GuiltyPleasures, "So Bad It's Good" garbage and outright unwatchable disasters that their episodes usually focus on, the show celebrated movies and shows which were not only the hosts' personal favourites but which were also widely recognised to be classics (the main show, for example, focussed on ''Film/Terminator2JudgmentDay'', ''Film/Batman1989'', ''Film/ItsAWonderfulLife'' and ''Film/BackToTheFuture''). To reflect this, the podcast was temporarily rebranded as "We Love Movies".

** In the Gleep Glossary for Greedo, after the latter's infamous end at the hands of Han Solo, Andrew jokes that the owner of the Mos Eisley cantina will grind him up and serve him as food.
