And when you get your Ph.D in comparative literature and you watch the same episode, you’re suddenly understanding some of the literary illusions and philosophic illusions.”

I just wanted to point out that the word you want is literary ALLUSIONS and philosophic ALLUSIONS. Granted, I like a good literary illusion (though I’m not waiting in line for it).
