Tom Lehrer and Betty White both have the energy that they've prooobably been holding up reality with magic powers for decades and things will unravel if they ever die. Like, you're around to maintain the stability of the universe. I believe this

Between the Tom Lehrer quote in ANNETTE and the rendition of "Shaving Cream" in HALLOWEEN KILLS, it's a big year for hopeless dorks who grew up on the Dr. Demento Show.
