Trivia
The movie playing on the television in Ted's motel room at around 51:00 (as a voice over) is Repo Man (1984), specifically it's the scene wherein Emilio Estevez's character has first entered into the auto shop to collect his first fee as an unwitting repo man.

Goofs
There is a moment in the 3rd act in which a voice-over suggests that the Unabomber might be envious of the media attention given to the Oklahoma City bombing, which happened in 1995. Later, the infamous O.J. Simpson Bronco chase is seen on a TV. The Bronco chase happened in 1994, but is presented as having happened after the OC bombing.

Quotes
Ted: Modern technology is the worst thing to happen to the world. And to promote its progress is nothing short of criminal.

flawed portrayal of climate activist, eco-terrorist Kaczynski

I would recommend people read some of the NY Times, NY Magazine, ABC News pieces looking into Kaczynski's own writings and statements to friends. This would make it clear that the simplistic analysis in this film as well as many other shallow treatments of his views/rationalizations ignore the clear evidence that Kaczynski was an anarchist, climate activism terrorist, and if classifiable at all, would be far left.

This bizarre treatment him as some kind of incel is simply not fact based.
