During filming, Jensen Ackles (Dean) had to be ready to leave at any moment, because his wife, Danneel, was due to deliver their twins. The point where Dean leaves to "check the side yard" is when he left the set because the twins were about to be born.
The second episode directed by Richard Speight Jr. (Gabriel/The Trickster).
This entire episode pays heavy tribute to Quentin Tarantino's films, in particular Reservoir Dogs (1992). Not only does the title of the episode share a name with a song from a pivotal scene from the Tarantino film, but the episode contains many parallel choices in setting, lines of dialogue, plot devices, and artistic composition. In addition to its content, the artistic and musical choices in this episode pay tribute to Reservoir Dogs and other Tarantino films. A few examples of these choices are: the slow panorama shots of the major characters in the coffee shop; the use of black title screens; the non-linear sequence of events and replaying of some scenes from different perspectives; the use of classic 1950s and 1960s music; and a box with unknown yellow shining content.
Dean's line, "Ok ramblers, let's get rambling" is a quote from Lawrence Tierney's character, Joe, from Reservoir Dogs. George Clooney's character, Seth, in From Dusk til Dawn says the same line.
The title of this episode is the name of a song by Stealers Wheel that appears in the Quentin Tarantino movie Reservoir Dogs. Some scenes are seemingly an homage to Tarantinos style of film making. Especially the slow motion walk by some of the characters.
