Dr. Kroger mentions that there is a new psychiatrist named "Lowenstern" who is a better psychiatrist as Dr. Kroger. This "brilliant" doctor, who Kroger says is "nominated for a Nobel Prize" is a reference to Barbra Streisand's character in the movie The Prince of Tides. In the film, Streisand's character is a psychiatrist named Lowenstein (the character is also Jewish, like Dr. Kroger).
