== Cultural references ==

*[[Movementarianism]] is a spoof of the cult of the {{w|Osho (Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh)|Bahagwan Shree Rajneesh}} (also called "Osho"). Like [[The Leader]], the Bhagwan was famous for driving in a {{w|Rolls-Royce (car)|Rolls-Royce}} while his followers lined the side of the road to watch him go by.

*The song "I Love You, You Love Me" from ''{{w|Barney & Friends}}'' is used to brainwash babies. The purple dinosaur singing it also resembles Barney.
*When [[Mr. Burns]] introduces his new religion, most of the sequence is a parody of the video for [[Michael Jackson]]'s "{{w|HIStory (song)|HIStory}}".<ref name="Mirkin">{{cite video | people= [[David Mirkin|Mirkin, David]] |year=2006|title=[[The Complete Ninth Season|The Simpsons season 9 DVD]] commentary for the episode "[[The Joy of Sect]]"| medium=DVD||publisher=20th Century Fox}}</ref>
*''{{w|Plan 9 From Outer Space}}'' is referenced in the Movementarians' training film - the string on the model UFO is visible, bearing likeness to the one in the movie.
*Marge running across the gators is a reference to [[Roger Moore]] in the [[James Bond]] film ''{{w|Live and Let Die (film)|Live and Let Die}}''.
*[[The Leader]]'s flying bike is a possible hint at {{w|E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial}}.

== Trivia ==
*Mr Burns only pays $3 tax per year.
*Movementarian schoolbook titles:
**''Arithmetic the Leader's Way''
**''Science for Leader Lovers''
*People who weren't brainwashed by the Movementarians: Marge, Reverend Lovejoy, the Flanders', Lenny, Burns, Smithers and Groundskeeper Willy (at least at first).
*The sign at [[Springfield Airport]] reads: "No Crashes Since Tuesday".

== Continuity ==
*Willie, Lovejoy, and Marge are all unable to knock out Homer by hitting him with bats - this is a reference to the episode "[[The Homer They Fall]]", which reveals Homer has a protective layer around his brain which gives him extra protection.

== Goofs ==
*Mr. Burns head is seen among the people watching the film about "Bilsstonia", but when the camera changes in front of the people, he is not there.
**Burns says he hasn't heard of "The Leader" even though at the beginning of the orientation film you can see him seated.
*Lenny remains in the Christian church despite seeing the orientation film.
*Bart was taken out of school to watch the team arrive, yet Mrs. Krabappel is there as well.
*In the picture of the Simpsons that Kent Brockman shows, Maggie doesn't have her hair ribbon.
*The second Hare Krishna guy sitting on the floor next to the standing one seen moments earlier isn't visible when Homer walks past.
*When Marge is looking at the Movementarian information booklet over dinner, the animation of her legs suddenly becomes jumpy.  
*Homer gives the deed to his house away when he has a mortgage.
*The dust from the Rolls Royce has nearly cleared up, and it suddenly appears on Moe and Sideshow Mel instantaneously, in what looks like a single frame.
*Lisa should be in a different class to Bart, since they are in different grades.
