So according to Wikipedia, Facebook (thefacebook at the time) was created in 2003 at Harvard and then expended to other Ivy League schools in 2004 but wasn’t available to the general public until 2006. I am not sure what school Evan went to but even if it was an Ivy League school Kayleigh would not have had access.
iPhone
The iPhone was released in 2007, making it 12 years since it was released. But I was close.
Sliding Doors
Cameron Bright
Here’s his IMDB page
Sparkles McFace
We couldn’t remember Robert Pattinson.
Teen Titans Go
I really enjoy this one as they make tons or references in 3 minutes including Jaws, Gilligan’s Island, Cast Away, Truman Show, Survivor, and that is just from 3 mins of the show!
Lisa Frank
As Wikipedia put it “a whimsical commercial design for school supplies and other products that are primarily marketed to children.” It was a lot of posters, pencils, and stickers. Here’s a sample
Quote at beginning of Butterfly Effect
It has been said that something as small as the flutter of a butterfly’s wing can ultimately cause a typhoon halfway around the world – Chaos Theory
Bechdel test
If you don’t know the Bechdel test is a simple test to measure representation of women in movies. The criteria is this:
1. The movie has to have at least two women in it,
2. who talk to each other,
3. about something besides a man.
That would seem easy but most movies fail at this miserably.
Simpsons
Correction, I said “Martin” instead of “Nelson” also, here is the clip.
Seinfeld – Drake’s Coffee Cake
Maus – Note: You will not hear mention of this in the podcast as I decided to remove this section as what was said was greatly inaccurate due to a misunderstanding of something I read. I thought it was inappropriate to keep in. But Maus is a great graphic novel that should be read.
According to Wikipedia – Maus is a graphic novel by American cartoonist Art Spiegelman, serialized from 1980 to 1991. It depicts Spiegelman interviewing his father about his experiences as a Polish Jew and Holocaust survivor. The work employs postmodernist techniques and represents Jews as mice, Germans as cats, and Poles as pigs
