Jane's a Car
- Ascended Fanon: There's no proof that the Lang Brothers ever saw it, but immediately after this episode aired fans started giving credit for the initial idea to an infamous Cargo Ship Crack Fic on Wattpad passed around heavily by the Starkid Tumblr fandom, about Professor Hidgens' doomed romance with an airplane.
- Blooper: There was a fairly major blooper in the originally livestreamed episode — Kim Whalen as Becky delivering an entire paragraph of lines with her mic muted — that people found memorable because Dylan Saunders played it off so well while staying in character (looking slightly nonplussed and going, "Uh, Becky, I can't hear you?" in Tom's lovable-doofus way) and were slightly disappointed to see was edited out.
- Creator Couple: Dylan Saunders' fiancée Shashona Brooks has been "Starkid-adjacent" for a long time (including acting alongside several Starkid troupe members in The Last Days of Judas Iscariot), but graduates to officially becoming a member of Team Starkid by directing and shooting him in the Music Video for "Jane's a Car". (She had to, since with the COVID-19 Pandemic there really weren't any other options.)
- Deleted Scene: Controversially, the original sex scene between Tom and Jane — which hilariously just went on and on, with Brain Bleach-inducing explicit details ("Take off your shirt... and your pants... Careful with my cupholders, they're sensitive...") and amazing Reaction Shots from the entire rest of the cast in gallery view — was drastically reduced in length for the YouTube release, with a Sexy Discretion Shot almost immediately after Jane propositions Tom cutting directly to Tim walking in on them (and only a brief few seconds of the cast's Reaction Shots to the situation preserved). Opinions are divided on whether this was necessary to avoid being demonetized by YouTube, it was a response to offended reactions from fans, or it was a simple artistic decision to shorten the scene and make it flow better.
- It's a much more minor deletion, but the earlier livestream with the full gallery view had a Funny Background Event of Lauren Lopez visibly reacting with a grin when Tom mentions her character, Linda Monroe, as a candidate for Jane's new body and Jane demands to know if he finds Linda attractive.
- Directed by Cast Member: Dylan and Shashona conceived of and produced the "Jane's a Car" Music Video mostly on their own, using the lyrics of Jeff Blim's song as a rough outline, and have joked about how the video was mostly an excuse to rent a cool car and drive it through beautiful scenery.
- Playing Against Type: One complaint from fans of Jaime Lyn Beatty who found her underused in recent Starkid shows was pointing that she's generally played The Woobie all the way from Ginny in A Very Potter Musical to Charlotte in The Guy Who Didn't Like Musicals, and they'd like to not just see her in a more major role that stretches out her acting chops but see her branch out into a different type of character. They got what they wanted in spades with Jaime as Jane, who's a very dark, intelligent, sophisticated villainess who gives Linda Monroe a run for her money in the Love to Hate department, with her villainy mostly Played Straight (minus the inherent Black Comedy in the fact that she's a car).
- Throw It In!: The lines in the song "Jane's a Car" where Dylan Saunders is talking over the bridge of the song ("Yeah... come on, Hatchetfield, let's go!"), as though talking to the crowd at a live concert, were ad-libbed by Dylan and weren't in Jeff Blim's original lyrics. And contradict the implied setting of the song, which doesn't take place in Hatchetfield but on "Highway One" in California — of course, there's no reason a singer can't be performing in Hatchetfield and singing a song about driving in California.
- What Could Have Been: Nick Lang has confirmed that Ethan was, in fact, originally slated to die again in this story and he and Matt relented in their final pass on the script, partly because of the tongue-in-cheek fan petition begging them to let one of Robert Manion's characters live for once.
- Why Fandom Can't Have Nice Things: Some fans felt the "overreaction" to the sex scene on social media — particularly fans flooding Nick Lang with questions about it during the official Q&A — leading to that scene being cut short in the YouTube release qualifies as this.
The Witch in the Web
- Corpsing: In a story mostly devoid of overt jokes, we still surprisingly get some moments of this — Jeff Blim laughs out loud during Pamela's one-sided banter with Dan and Donna on her TV set at the beginning of the story, and we hear surprised and appreciative laughter when the five Adorable Abomination dolls come out in the climax (possibly because this was also the first time the cast had seen all five of them together — there's particularly noticeable laughter when the cast sees Pokotho and puts together the visual clues that Pokotho is the true identity of The Guy Who Didn't Like Musicals' Hive Queen).
- Creator Couple: Real Life married couple Curt Mega and Kim Whalen as Duke and Miss Holloway.
- Reality Subtext: Duke and Miss Holloway, who serve as Hannah's surrogate parental figures in this story, are played by Curt Mega and Kim Whalen, a married couple in Real Life who've had Kendall Nicole as one of their acting students since she was a young child (which is how Kendall got recommended to audition for Black Friday in the first place). Duke and Miss Holloway's pride at Hannah reaching into her heart and finding her power reflects Curt and Kim's real feelings about how Kendall has grown and matured as an actress.
- Throw It In!: When Uncle Wiley produces an apple from nowhere, Zoom reads it as part of the background at first, so for several seconds, Joey is holding an invisible apple which then really does materialize out of nowhere the moment he bites it, producing a totally accidental but awesome visual.
- What Could Have Been: The role of the puppy that the fake Lex offers to Hannah was intended for Nemo, the chihuahua owned by Matt Lang and his girlfriend Rusty. As the story was performed on a livestream this was not attempted, and the puppy's appearance is left to our imaginations.
