The 'Garbage People' poster in Patches' apartment reveals easter eggs of popular sci-fi movies of the 80s, 90s, and 2000s parodied in the film.
Austin Von Letkemann, a popular comedy influencer known as MandatoryFunday, made his voice acting debut in Garbage People: The Movie as the game show announcer.
Garbage People: The Movie was originally written as a short but was developed into a feature following the WGA strike of 2023.
The villainous A.I. bot "Sophi-2100" (voiced by Tawny Platis) is an homage to 2001: A Space Odyssey.
In addition to voicing Patches and Peel, Jeff Eastin and Brit Tobin also provide voices for additional characters for the series as well as the film.
