    Storyline

    • Trivia

    • Goofs
      Dick plays Stiff Little Fingers's "Suspect Device" for Annaugh. Though he plays it from the "Inflammable Materials" LP, the version heard is the single version, different in a few ways from the LP version.
    • Quotes
      • [first lines]
      • Rob Gordon: What came first: the music or the misery? People worry about kids playing with guns or watching violent videos that some sort of culture of violence will take them over. Nobody worries about kids listening to thousands, literally thousands of songs about heartbreak, rejection, pain, misery, and loss. Did I listen to pop music because I was miserable? Or was I miserable because I listened to pop music?
    • Crazy credits
      Catherine Zeta Jones is only credited in the final cast list and not in main credits
    • Alternate versions
