      He has used Wham! tracks as key plot points more than once (Club Tropicana in New Tricks: The Queen's Speech and Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go in The Watch: Twilight Canyons).
    • Quotes
      I would want people to take hope in the face of helplessness from it, to take the idea that you can do more than just stand by and watch, that even when everything is rigged against you -- hardwired against you -- you can actually transcend that and defeat it
