Trivia
The "non-narrative" stop motion film that is being made by Nick Nolte's character seems to be a nod to the stop-motion film Mad God (2021) by Phil Tippett. Tippett consulted on the episode and constructed the miniatures used.

Goofs
Nitrate film is highly flammable, and would never withstand several minutes in an open fire nearly without harm as it is shown here.

Next LEVEL

Yes Nick Nolte hits it out of the park again. So wonderful to see him. This one was proably one of my favorites, They brought in seasoned actors and next level story telling. Some of the best TV next to 1932 this year. I'm old school loved the old monster movies made from stop motion so this episode was a BIG treat. If you are a smart tv watcher that needs to be ingaged than this episode is for you. Today there is to much garbage out there so when you come across somthing like this, it's a treasure. I had a hard time when first sitting to watch this show but gave it a second chance yesterday and binged the hole thing. Don't give up on it, by episode 3 buckel up for the ride and have fun.
