When I was in college, my then girlfriend texted me that she was watching Jojo Rabbit. She knew it was one of my favorite movies, and said that she loved it too. She was talking about how Scarlett Johannson's shoes almost have their own personality. So I said,

yeah, it's devastating when you notice her shoes on the hanging body.

Turns out she had paused the movie to make some dinner, and hadn't seen this part yet. Needless to say, she was PISSED!

So I had to do a company speech and to live things up I mixed in some famous scenes from wildly popular old movies. And that's how I found out that in 2016 among the colleagues in an IT company, one of them had no idea about a certain character from an 11 (is that 11 now?) movies space saga was closely related to the younger main character.

Always good to recognize that while there are many things most people should realize by the time they are adults, there are also about 10,000 people becoming adults every day.
