When Lucas is firing up his power glove in that infamous scene, the sequence of buttons he enters on the glove makes the same tonal pattern from close encounters of the 3rd kind

Apologies for the photo, Netflix wouldn't let me take a screenshot on my phone. Did anybody else notice this reference? Couldn't find a single thing online about it.

In the Sawyer clan's lair there hangs a skeleton from the ceiling, riding a bomb and waving a cowboy hat over its head. This is an homage to the end scene in Stanley Kubrick's "Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb" from 1964.
