Trivia: Eric Freeman plays the lead Ricky and was criticized for his performance. According to Freeman, nobody agreed on how the role should be played, and the crew would ask him to perform scenes in wildly different ways, which is part of the reason his performance is so unnatural. For example, he wanted Ricky to be cold and quiet, while the director wanted him to be a wisecracking smartass, and the writer wanted him to be over-the-top and absolutely nuts. His performance is thus an odd mish-mash.

Visible crew/equipment: Towards the beginning, during Ricky's talk with the psychiatric doctor, there is a scene where Ricky is sitting in his chair talking, and at the top of the screen, there is a very noticeable microphone hanging down into the camera's view. A few moments afterward, you see it fly up and out of the camera's view.
Ricky Caldwell: My old lady couldn't afford to send me to college. So I got a job. I was washing dishes, dumping trash... all that sort of shit. I think you're gonna like this next part. It sounded like some squirrel getting his nuts squeezed.
