The dad reconnects with his family and helps his sons build the Newman robot. When rival inventors steal the robot to dismantle it for the purpose of reverse engineering, the kids contact the spirit of [[~~Useful Notes/Albert Einstein\|~~Albert Einstein]] for help. {{tropelist}} Line 25: * [[Percussive Maintenance]]: Max uses this to fix Newman's voice glitch. * [[Ride the Lightning]]: Ghosts are electrical. This is how Matt possesses Newman. * [[Shout -Out]]: A poster for ''[[~~Metropolis (Film)\|~~Metropolis]]'' is seen in the garage. ** Matt's final words "I'm coming, Grandma" are likely a reference to [[Sanford and Son]]'s "I'm coming, Elizabeth" [[Beam Me Up, Scotty\|popular misquote]]. * [[Spooky Seance]]: The initial contact made with Matt, complete with [[Tentative Light]]. The seances with Einstein are less dramatic. Line 38: [[Category:Films of the 1990s]] [[Category:And You Thought Your Parents Were Weird]] [[Category:Film]]
