Psych Quotes: Complete list of Psych Pop References in Season Two

Psych is one of the best shows nowadays, and there are several reasons to love it.

The first is the way both Shawn and Gus call each other in the different episodes; that´s why I´ve done the complete list of Shawn and Gus Nicknames on Psych. And another big reason is the whole bunch of pop references in Psych.

And that´s my current project, I´m doing the whole list of Pop References Quotes of Psych in every episode.

I already listed all the Pop references in Psych season one.

Now it´s time for season two.

Shawn: That´s Austin Kearns

Shawn: This is my partner Patty Simcox

Shawn: The name of your film is “Night Cycle”?
Hannah: What’s wrong with that?
Shawn: Well, it’s kind of boring… unless it’s about a motorcycle that comes to life at night and solves crime and does sweet wheelies.
