1	!!1992 film:
2	* As mentioned on the main page, the opening shot is an {{Homage}} to ''Film/TouchOfEvil''.
3	* Griffin has a poster of ''Film/{{Laura}}'' on his wall.
4	* Griffin goes to see ''Film/BicycleThieves'' when he hears David Kahane, the writer he thinks has been sending him threatening postcards, is at that theater.
5	* Someone calls the studio, and leaves a message for Griffin, using the name [[Film/SunsetBoulevard Joe Gillis]]. Griffin doesn't recognize it at first, but then recovers, and tries to joke the man had earlier claimed they were [[Film/CitizenKane Charles Foster Kane]].
6	* A number of movie pitches Griffin listens to, which are JustForFun/XMeetsY pitches, like "It's ''Film/OutOfAfrica'' meets ''Film/PrettyWoman''", or "It's ''Film/{{Ghost\|1990}}'' meets ''Literature/TheManchurianCandidate''".
7	* In his speech at the gala event Griffin attends, honoring him and the studio for donating prints to a film museum, he claims and the studio are looking for artists like the next Creator/FrankCapra, Creator/JohnHuston, or Creator/OrsonWelles.
8	* In the police station, Detective [=Delongpre=] references ''Film/{{Freaks}}'' ("One of us, one of us").
9	* When Griffin gets out of the lineup, Walter mentions how witness testimony is so unreliable, and mentions ''Film/WitnessForTheProsecution''.
10	* During a meeting at the studio the focus shifts to something going on outside like during a poker game in ''Film/{{MASH}}''.

12	!!2015 series:
13	* A ManOfWealthAndTaste with obscene amounts of [[ScrewTheRulesIHaveMoney money]] and [[ScrewTheRulesIHaveConnections influence]] who gives the AntiHero his missions could be passed off a common trope, but the producers ''had'' to call him "[[TabletopGame/{{Shadowrun}} Mr. Johnson]]."
14	* "Ante Up" takes heavily from ''Film/PointBreak1991'', particularly the climax.
