In this week's episode we took Prodigy's advice and became some firestarters in, Torch Song. A rock singer is stalked by an obsessive pyrotechnician turned supervillain, Firefly.The City Slickers bit with Billy Crystal Adam was mentioning. https://clip.cafe/city-slickers-ii-the-legend-of-curlys-gold-1994/the-sun-sets-in-the-west/ Hit Me Baby One More Time came out in September 1998, so I (Adam) shouldn't have been surprised about the character being partially inspired by her. The Jem and the Holograms theme https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m6G_o1MYECg&list=RDm6G_o1MYECg&start_radio=1 Weird Al's Dare To Be Stupid, which is a Devo style parody which was in the Transformers: The Animated Movie from 1985 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SMhwddNQSWQ&list=RDSMhwddNQSWQ&start_radio=1 The Breaker High Theme, which isn't ringing any bells for Adam, he definitely didn't see it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HFWsagSNoRg The White Snake incident https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Station_nightclub_fire James Hetfield on his pyrotechnic incident https://www.guitarworld.com/features/james-hetfield-double-neck-montreal-pyro-accident The Rocketeer. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I68627xyDPA And the first Game of Thrones book that had wildfire seems to be A Clash of Kings, which came out in 1999, so Adam's theory could hold more weight than initially thought.
