History ShoutOut / BennettTheSage

* In his review of ''Manga/GunsmithCats'' he awards Rally the [[VideoGame/ResidentEvil4 Leon S. Kennedy]] award for fucking physics up the ass when she jumps off a warehouse railing to the ground on her feet wearing high heels, with the runner up being Sawa in ''Anime/{{Kite}}''. He also seriously considers giving the award to [[Anime/TheCastleOfCagliostro Lupin]].

** He also compared the casting of the normally boisterous Creator/JohnDiMaggio (including reminding people that, yes, this is the same man who voiced [[WesternAnimation/KimPossible a blue-skinned]] MadScientist; [[WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}} an alcoholic robot]]; [[WesternAnimation/SamuraiJack Jack]]'s ViolentGlaswegian ally; [[WesternAnimation/BatmanTheBraveAndTheBold one of the most hammiest versions of]] Franchise/{{Aquaman}}; [[WesternAnimation/AdventureTime a talking, shapeshifting dog]]; and [[WesternAnimation/BatmanUnderTheRedHood Batman's]] MonsterClown [[Characters/BatmanTheJoker archenemy]]) as the [[TheStoic stoic]] title character of ''Manga/Golgo13'' in the ''Queen Bee'' OVA to casting Creator/GaryOldman as Silent Bob.

* He mocks a character's attempt at a BondOneLiner in ''Anime/CyberCityOedo808'' by playing a clip of Matrix in ''Film/{{Commando}}'' killing TheDragon, [[NamesTheSame who's also named "Bennett"]] with a steam pipe, complete with showing Matrix's quip on "Let off some steam, Bennett." Sage then says he is and chides himself for waiting 180 episodes to make the reference.

** In the ''[[LightNovel/VampireHunterD Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust]]'' review, Sage hearkens to the "[...] the likes of which God has never seen" line in [[Film/Dune1984 the film]]...and punishes himself by drinking from a bottle of Dawn detergent.

** Combined with the above-mentioned ''Dune'', while recapping the second episode of ''Anime/BubblegumCrisis'' sequel series ''Bubblegum Crash'', Sage mocks how ObviouslyEvil the episode's villain, Dr. Yuri, is by saying he looks like "Feyd-Rautha Harkonnen[[note]]complete with a picture of Music/{{Sting}} as the character from ''Film/Dune1984[[/note]] if he were playing Loki from ''Sandman''!" and proceeds to spend the rest of the recap calling Yuri "Loki".
