Trivia[]
- The title is a play on the phrase "battle of the bands".
- Alex Russo was mentioned.
- Yuvi Hecht previously portrayed "Erlic Snickering" in another Disney Channel sitcom, Pretty Freekin Scary.
- It is revealed that Justin and Giada didn't find out about the wizard party Billie threw in Ain't Gnome Party Like a Wizard Party, but Justin finds out in this episode.
- Billie exploits magic's weakness to plastic.
- Roman stating he met a wizard that showed him the Multiverse and many versions of the future was a reference to the character of "Doctor Strange" and his role within the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
- The movie Justin and Giada are watching was most likely the 1984 film The Terminator. The hints that suggest this are:
- A robot sent from the future to terminate a woman.
- The movie is inappropriate for Milo as the movie is rated R.
- The version of the episode on the Disney Now! site omits about a minute of footage consisting of the Emcee pointing out The Hand to Billie and Winter.
