Notes:
- Spoilers for I Know What You Did Last Summer.
- The movie that Peter’s thinking of is Silence of the Hams. As Silence of the Lambs was made in 1991, it’s quite unlikely for a movie to have parodied it in the late 80s.
- Dawson (of Dawson’s Creek) is actually called Dawson Leary. Cotton from Scream is Cotton Weary.
- Can’t Hardly Wait is the Seth Green film that Peter can never remember the name of.
- “Whassup?” was a TV/radia commercial campaign for Anheuser-Busch Budweiser beer from 1999 to 2002.

- Michael Eisner became CEO of Disney in 1984.
- Spoilers for The Lion King
- Sinbad: Legend of the Seven Seas was released by Dreamworks.
- The deal was 5 films after Toy Story, and so Pixar counted A Bug’s Life, Toy Story 2, Monster’s Inc, Finding Nemo and The Incredibles, but Disney didn’t count Toy Story 2 among that number.
- Bolt is the new 3D Animated Disney film, produced by John Lasseter.
