Movie references in Songbird Road (Part 1)

SPOILERS

Wondering if anyone else caught the references to “Butch and Sundance” and “Thelma and Louise” before and during the Big Three’s road trip? Both are movies I like and have seen a few times.

“Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid” starring Paul Newman and Robert Redford is by far the older of the two movies. That leaves me wondering how many viewers would be familiar with it - especially with the movie’s famous line about explosives. It was my favorite and most-watched movie for years. Curious as to how many viewers were familiar with Butch and Sundance at all, and how many noted that a show with grenade explosions referenced a movie with dynamite explosions.

Maybe it was purely coincidental. I started to worry, if it wasn’t, about what the “Thelma and Louise” reference foreshadowed. But, then I remembered a pretty big explosion in that one, too.

Hmmm...just realized something else big all the titular movie characters have in common (aside from being outlaws on the run).

I don’t think anything in the show is coincidental

Yeah, that’s my sense, and one of the things I find intriguing and admirable. They either are meticulous planners or masterful improvisers.
