Reservation Dogs Episode 4 Easter Eggs

Sten Joddi: After being mentioned in previous episodes, we're finally introduced to Bear's dad, rapper Punkin' Lusty. In real life, Joddi is an award-winning Mvskoke Creek Nation hip-hop artist. He almost missed out on appearing on Reservation Dogs because he thought the show's request was spam. "I almost swiped it, like deleted it, because I just thought maybe it was one of those spam things or something," he told The Tulsa World.
Pulp Fiction: Bear decides to get his dad a special gift before his show and ends up at a beadworker's home for a hand-made pendant. Eventually, he picks up a small box and his face is bathed in a golden light upon opening it. This is a callback to the infamous silver briefcase from Quentin Tarantino's 1994 film, Pulp Fiction. In the film, contract killers Jules Winnfield and Vincent Vega attempt to recover a briefcase for their boss, Marsellus Wallace. Much like the box on Reservation Dogs, whenever the briefcase is opened, it emits a golden light. While we never actually get to see the contents of the briefcase in the 1994 film, on the show, the box holds a hand-made beaded pickle pendant.
