Lisa the Drama Queen/References

Elements of the plot loosely resemble the Peter Jackson film Heavenly Creatures, in particular the scenes where the girls imagine themselves in their fantasy world and how Marge bans Lisa from seeing her friend Juliet, who is loosely based on Juliet 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 their visit to the Folk Art Museum (although the wipeout at the beginning was replaced by folk art).
