Goofs

The labels on Deirdre's pill vials in the 1978 segment are in a proportional font, and appear to be laser-printed. In 1978, prescription labels would have been prepared on a typewriter with a monospace font.

There are two identical scenes of the family station wagon driving by. In both scenes, the station wagon passes the same section of street (including a blue 1965 Chevy Impala parked along the curb).
