froodleJust heard of Eerie Indiana and it's on amazon prime so I'm checking it out. The first episode involves boomers from the 60s being sealed inside Tupperware containers every night to keep them at 8th grade age and the main character's mom becoming obsessed with said Tupperware

froodlethe doo-daa parade thrills thousands. highlights at 11. tonight on america's funniest home videos: you might see your brother working out! your bride dancing. your baby window cleaning! your team competing! your little girl bathing! your neighbor singing! or your son swinging!

so it's no wonder that eerie indiana would seek to plug into that cultural zeitgeist, and lean on its audience familiarity for both a minor plot point, and the title of its fifth episode. but does america's scariest home video pad out its runtime with lazy references for cheap relatable topical humor? yes. yes it does. but does that make it a bad episode? well, let's find out!
