I am not a lawyer, just a Wikipedia reader, but one of the tests for fair use of a trademark is if the public would have no reason to believe the trademark owner endorsed or sponsored the work (i.e. show).

I loved the way she said, "Nooooo" after the ex-wife said the $10,000 was gone. It reminded me of Ron Donald from Party Down.

Even more so because "muggles" is/was an actual American slang term for marijuana in the 1930s.

Don't forget to include your mortgaged properties at half their value! And all of your houses!

More seriously, the person who says "Let's build a streaming service" probably gets to be in charge of it, while the person who says "Let's negotiate a partnership with Amazon" gets asked "why don't you believe in our team?"
