Yep, the character's name is "Reeve Robs", which is how Scooby Doo would pronounce "Steve Jobs".

Another notable character appears when Robin wakes up from cryonic suspension: her nurse is Grace Jones' character May Day from the Bond flick A View to a Kill.

Can't believe no-one has mentioned Ron Jeremy shmoozing up to Marilyn Monroe!

Also spotted Frida Kahlo.

The band at the end is Charlie Megira's, not Nick Cave.
