I LOVED all of the David Lynch references in this episode!!!
the opening shot of the sign on the road, like in Twin Peaks
the Blue Velvet video store (David Lynch movie)
the guy that worked at the video store had a distinctively nasally voice like Gordon, David Lynch’s character on Tein Peaks.
video store guys name was even David
video store guy drank from a coffee mug identical to the mugs at RR Diner in Twin Peaks
jughead referenced Eraserhead, another David Lynch film.
there may be more that I’m forgetting, but as a huge Lynch fan, I just loved this episode!!
