Nothing Left to Do But Cry - Easter Eggs & Hidden Details

Easter Eggs

The Letter Scene

The scene where they write to Savonarola is a direct homage to the famous letter-writing scene in the 1956 film Totò, Peppino e la malafemmina, honoring the legacy of Italian comedy duos.

Yesterday

Mario tries to impress Pia by singing 'Yesterday' by The Beatles, claiming he wrote it. This predates the film Yesterday (2019) by decades as a joke about plagiarism in time travel.
