This issue spoofs all three movies James Dean starred in before his untimely death: "Rebels Just 'Cause" has the Warners crashing the shoot of Rebel Without a Cause, "East of Burbank" shows Slappy pushing rival Walter Wolf out of auditioning for East of Eden, and "Grande!" has some references to Giant , namely the title and Wakko doing prospecting (for chili when the Warners decide to antagonize a grumpy chef, the Taco Tyrant).
