Ambiguous Gender Identity | |
| Little Evil / int_463da046 | comment |
Ambiguous Gender Identity: Deconstructed. Al is played by a cisgender woman, but is otherwise a typical man in every way. His gender is not questioned in-universe, he's addressed with he/him pronouns and male nouns and titles, and the Viewer Gender Confusion stems entirely from the casting choice. This was a deliberate choice made by Eli Craig to support gender fluidity . | |

Shout-Out | |
| Little Evil / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: Lucas bears more then a passing resemblance to Damien from the The Omen films. Al gave Gary a Woody Woodpecker statuette for his wedding. Lucas is seen putting his hand on a static TV in a direct parody of Poltergeist. Gozamel bullshits a prophecy of "the Key Master," explicitly citing Ghostbusters (1984) as inspiration. Al cites Field of Dreams as a good thing related to cornfields. | |
