Corrections and Omissions: Date with an Angel
Fans weigh in on various details from the Date with an Angel episode, including Tad's bizarre CPR technique and the finger-sniffing scene. The community playfully suggests blaming everything on a brain tumor, echoing the show's running Jacob's Ladder theory. Multiple corrections touch on musical references, the "Born Sexy Yesterday" trope, and unexpected connections to other angel-themed movies.
- Tad's mouth-to-mouth resuscitation was completely wrong - he turned away and exhaled into nothing instead of into the angel's lungs
- The finger-sniffing scene was actually about pool water on the floor, not the blow-up doll
- Angel in Flip Flops is a fake song from Only Murders in the Building, not a real hit that made Steve Martin rich
- The 'Born Sexy Yesterday' trope describes movies like Splash, Fifth Element, and Date with an Angel where otherworldly women fall for the first man they meet
- Date with an Angel shares remarkable parallels with Passion Play including angels who can't fly, commercial exploitation, and the reveal that the protagonist was dying
" Never before have I seen a movie open with the hero delivering a baby during a gun battle, severing the umbilical cord with a gunshot, and then killing a villain by penetrating his brain with a raw carrot. "
Deleted Scene: The QR Code Incident
Paul shares an embarrassing deleted scene from the Date with an Angel episode where June teases him about scanning the wrong QR code at a restaurant. The story reveals Paul accidentally scanned a review code instead of the menu code, leading to confusion and June's playful mockery about his technical difficulties.
- Paul scanned a review QR code instead of the menu code because both barcodes were stacked on top of each other
- June reveals the restaurant now has complete access to Paul's data after the scanning mishap
" How dare you give me a way to review before I've even gotten to the meal? It's like, fuck you also. That's what this reviewer felt. "
