rainier wolfcastle is an action hero star and a close parody of actor/bodybuilder/politician arnold schwarzenegger. the writers invented wolfcastle as the action hero mcbain for the episode "oh brother, where art thou?" and the "mcbain" films were meant to satirize clichés of action movies. in the episode "the boy who knew too much", bart simpson tells wolfcastle that his "last movie really sucked" with chief wiggum adding "magic ticket, my ass, mcbain!", alluding to schwarzenegger's film "last action hero", which was panned by critics. wolfcastle owns a restaurant named planet springfield, a parody of planet hollywood, which schwarzenegger co-owned with other celebrities. the episode "radioactive man" sees the film version of the comic book series "radioactive man" set up production in springfield with wolfcastle starring as the title role. radioactive man is a fictional superhero within "the simpsons", who works as a parody of comic books and superheroes in general. the authors of the book "i can't believe it's a bigger and better updated unofficial simpsons guide", warren martyn and adrian wood, called the episode a "wonderful pastiche" on the tim burton batman films, and several scenes in the episode reference the "batman" television series from the 1960s.
