Nut allegories.
In ADVENTURELAND, Martin Starr's character Joel mentions walnuts could send him into an epileptic shock. In "Freaks and Geeks", his character is put into a coma after a bully puts a peanut in his sandwich. Is the ADVENTURELAND reference a homage to his "Freaks and Geeks" role, a coincidence or does Martin Starr have a nut allegory in real life and he has encorporated this malady into his roles?
