Trivia[edit]

This barely qualifies as trivia, but the similarities in theme between this film and Slouching_Towards_Bedlam are striking. Bieeanda (talk) 02:03, 15 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Likewise, Neal Stephenson's novel Snow Crash shows up on a counter in the radio station. The book focuses on "Snow Crash," a neural "computer" virus that affects its hosts mentally and physically. The virus is built on ancient spoken Sumerian. In the context of the book, this proto-language hijacks the brain's speech centers and causes strange bouts of glossolalia in its victims. - J. Hengenius (talk) 00:44, 18 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I was shocked to realize that Dead Air (film) wasn't this move with an alternate title. Haus^Talk 00:59, 12 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

2008 or 2009?[edit]

Make up your minds people. The intro paragraph says 2008, but the release section says 2009. I'm going to change the top to match the release section unless someone corrects me. Fruckert (talk) 03:39, 24 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

What the heck is the coda?[edit]

The two main characters appear after the credits, in black and white at first with color bleeding in at the end, and have a bizarre discussion that makes little sense. What is that all about? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.119.250.139 (talk) 02:19, 22 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Pontypool gets destroyed[edit]

The plot summary seems to miss that right at the end before the screen goes blank bombs are dropping, so the Canadian Army are clearly destroying Pontypool. Shall I correct this? " Pegasuswhiterose (talk) 00:02, 28 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

What "virus"?[edit]

Paragraph 4 of Plot:

" Ken calls in and, while on the air, succumbs to the virus."

What virus? There has been no mention of any virus up to this point. Seems like an important plot element might be missing from this plot description. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.95.43.253 (talk) 22:39, 10 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
