Really popular ones too.

I love dating girls that haven't seen anything. Movie nights at home are a great way to chill.

Too many people make watching shows and movies their whole personality.

There is more to life than just consuming content from Hollywood.

I met a 50 yr old software dev who had never HEARD of Monty Python. Not even seen.

Honestly, I love making friends with people who haven't experienced some of the really incredible pieces of pop culture, because I get to see them react to seeing something incredible for the first time. Your reaction should never be "omg you've never seen this before, what kinda weird alien are you? and more "omg you've never seen this before? okay we have to watch it real soon, it's incredible."

It's only really annoying if the person is some kinda incel who has made it a point of pride to be uncultured and refuses to watch or appreciate good movies/TV.

There are two types of people in the world, those who will belittle you for not knowing what they know, and those who will be excited that they get to expose you to new knowledge. Date the second type.

Ooooh yes, and the other way around too. I’ve watched an absolute assload of apparently obscure bullshit, but absolutely never the same obscure bullshit people want me to have seen.

This is my experience being gen z dating any millennial. I'm honestly jealous that they got to experience films in a more communicative and iconic way.

My gf used to be in that boat. I'm a big film guy. The first few years of our relationship I spent catching her up on the more important things in life.

So what you're saying is we should start a reaction channel on YouTube?

"I did not care for The Godfather."

Probably controversial opinion for some people: I've only ever seen one Star Wars movie (one of the original ones) and some of parts of other movies and I think the franchise is totally overrated.

WHAT?? You haven’t seen that movie?

Permanently Deleted

I know right? I've been spending way too much time trying to get people here to watch "Barbie" (now available on Blu-ray and select streaming services) for like a year now.

It's a good movie, if you haven't seen it yet, go watch it.

I have no idea how to even talk to you. I speak mostly in reference and meme! Shaka, when the walls fell.

My SO I'm sure makes it a point to mention something that she knows I haven't watched just to say "oh wait you haven't seen that"

I'm worse, I never finish. I stopped watching game of thrones with 3 episodes to go.

Or they base their entire standpoint on it based on YouTuber brain rot "reviews" which just summarize the movie.

True, but i HAVE watched the shows i like at least 5 times each

"LEAVE ME ALONE!"

I've seen a bit of most popular shows, if only to form an informed opinion about them.

Most from my early adult years (mid-1990s) are so terrible that I stopped watching TV entirely.

There was a guy in a discord chat I hang out in that never got any joke or reference because they were adamant about avoiding anything popular.

Ok... But now you can't join in on the conversation like 90% of the time because the rest of us are watching, playing and reading the same stuff and talking about it. Probably why I haven't seen him in the chat for months. 🤷🏻‍♂️
