In Minute 82 of The Whole Shebang, Jenny and Mike look at the end of the goodbye scene between Curt and Brian, Curt’s frantic smoking of a cigarette, and all the “cigarette business” actors could get up to in movies during the smoking era, Brian’s cubey electric-blue jacket and how it hearkens back to Brian and Curt’s first business breakfast, Jenny’s love of overly literal music videos, Brian’s flashbacks to Brian and Curt’s “much-needed” getaway and how it reminded Jenny of the 1991 film The Hours and Times about John Lennon and Brian Epstein, Curt’s trip to Heathrow and the sequence immediately following which gives Mike a chance to discuss the Kuleshov Effect, Brian’s desire to finish the tour not as Maxwell Demon and its connection to the green jewel, Todd Haynes objectifying Jonathan Rhys Meyers in the manner of the filmic male gaze and film noir, and how Brian’s objection to finishing the tour leads directly to the endgame for Maxwell Demon.
