== Cultural References ==
*Elements of the plot loosely resemble the 1994 film Heavenly Creatures, which is based on the murder of Honorah Rieper, who was beaten to death by her daughter Pauline Parker and her friend Juliet Hulme at Victoria Park in Christchurch, New Zealand on the afternoon of the 22nd June 1954. As Parker was 16 and Hulme was 15 at the time of Honorah Rieper's murder, they were considered underage for the death penalty and instead were sentenced to five years imprisonment. After their release in November 1959, both Parker and Hulme left New Zealand and went their separate ways.
**In some of the scenes, the girls imagine themselves in their fantasy world and Marge forbids Lisa from hanging out with her friend Juliet, who is loosely based on Hulme. Also, the girls obsession with Josh Groban mirrors the obsession of the girls in Heavenly Creatures with opera singer Mario Lanza. The song "Wipeout" was played while they were visiting the Folk Art Museum (although the wipeout at the beginning was replaced by folk art).
*The plot elements also resemble the 2007 film Bridge to Terabithia.
*Juliet, in appearance, resembles Thora Birch's character in the film Ghost World.
*Colin from The Simpsons Movie can be seen in the art class.
*Bart mentions M&M's.
*Lisa ends up buying Almond Joys at Apu's suggestion.
*The song played in the credits is a cover of The Simpsons theme song by the rock band . The band was named after the character Fallout Boy.
*Juliet references the law film 1996 A Time To Kill, where she points out that her father discovers that the legal system is the true villain in the film.
