Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade It’s impossible not to be reminded of the third Indiana Jones movie during the scene in Episode 6, " E Pluribus Unum" where Steve and Robin are tied to a chair. Aside from Dustin comparing his girlfriend to Fast Times actress Phoebe Cates, the season premiere gives us a gender-flipped riff on the iconic Cates pool scene when Billy struts by in slow motion to the tune of The Cars’ “Moving in Stereo.” Then the finale gives Fast times a direct shout-out when Steve accidentally knocks over a standee of Cates in the video store. Fast Times at Ridgemont High Season 3 is crammed full of references to 1982’s Fast Times at Ridgemont High, but two homages stand out above the rest. The season finale, " The Battle of Starcourt," has Dustin and Suzie delivering a surprisingly competent rendition of the theme song to 1984’s The NeverEnding Story. The NeverEnding Story There’s a brief moment where Season 3 transforms the show into a full-on musical, and we love it. Meanwhile, the scene where Steve and Robin are awestruck by their first sight of the Mind Flayer plays like a slightly darker version of Jurassic Park’s most iconic dino shot. The moment where the kids hide from the Mind Flayer behind the car is very similar to the Jurassic Park scene where Lex and Tim hide from the raptors in the kitchen. Jurassic Park Jurassic Park may be a bit too young to qualify as an ‘80s movie, but that doesn’t mean we weren’t thrilled to see the season finale pay homage to multiple scenes from that classic Spielberg flick. One aisle has cereals for everything from Ghostbusters to Mr. In particular, the scene where the liquified bodies merge together to form a screaming monster is right out of the scene where MacReady and the gang confront the “Kennel-Thing.” '80s Cereals If you ever feel nostalgic for all the sugary, licensed breakfast cereals from the ‘80s, the grocery store sequence in Episode 7, " The Bite" will have you feeling like a kid again. The Thing It’s hard to watch the terrifying hospital sequence in Episode 5, " The Flayed" and not be reminded of John Carpenter’s The Thing. Erica must be a synthetic android with as much ice cream as she gobbles up in Season 3. Aliens That air duct scene also brings to mind 1986’s Aliens, where the android Bishop was called upon to squeeze his way through a pipe too small for ordinary humans. But unlike McClane, our heroes needed the help of someone smaller and more maneuverable. The shots of Steve and Dustin attempting to climb into the air ducts are almost exact recreations of the Die Hard shot where John McClane crawls through the ducts of Nakatomi Plaza. The Little Mermaid, directed by Rob Marshall, opens in theaters nationwide on May 26, 2023.Die Hard Episode 4 delivers a fun nod to 1988’s Die Hard. She makes a deal with the evil sea witch, Ursula, which gives her a chance to experience life on land, but ultimately places her life – and her father’s crown – in jeopardy. While mermaids are forbidden to interact with humans, Ariel must follow her heart. The youngest of King Triton’s daughters, and the most defiant, Ariel longs to find out more about the world beyond the sea, and while visiting the surface, falls for the dashing Prince Eric. The Little Mermaid is the beloved story of Ariel, a beautiful and spirited young mermaid with a thirst for adventure. The film stars Halle Bailey as Ariel, Daveed Diggs as the voice of Sebastian, Jacob Tremblay as the voice of Flounder, Awkwafina as the voice of Scuttle, Jonah Hauer-King as Prince Eric, Art Malik as Sir Grimsby, Noma Dumezweni as Queen Selina, Javier Bardem as King Triton, and Melissa McCarthy as Ursula. Check out the teaser trailer for The Little Mermaid, the upcoming live-action reimagining of the animated musical classic.
