Cultural References

• Bart's vision of Marie and Pierre Curie, inventors of radium, are much like Godzilla, complete with the Japan setting.
• Smithers' song and dance number at Jack Marley's retirement party are reference to the 1941 film, Citizen Kane.
• The music from The Empire Strikes Back plays while Mr. Burns surveys his monitors in his office.
• As a subplot in the story, Bart cries 'wolf' to get out of a test, in reference to The Boy Who Cried Wolf. Also befitting the subplot is that Bart is not believed when he is attacked by an actual wolf.

Goofs
