    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      Jonathan Brandis (Andron) does not have any dialogue.
    • Goofs
      When Matt is looking in the vending machine, you can clearly see that there are at least 3 quickie bars, but when Lorraine buys one, she says that it was the last one. Also, from the back, you can see Matt looking in, but from the front, you can see that there are more shelves, so his face wouldn't have been visible from the back.
