In the mid-1980s, I moved to an area where television reception was almost impossible without cable. Since then (except for a period in the mid-1990s when I spent a lot of time at a friend's place), I have not been much of a TV-watcher. I also haven't been much of a movie-watcher since the 1980s, except for a few years during #sonOne's adolescence, when "weekly Wednesday movie" was a way to guarantee that we spent more time together.
Of course, there are some exceptions. I saw several big name kid movies with #sonTwo and his friends. For a couple of years, we watched Will Smith's then-latest blockbuster on July 4th. I also watched a few movies with my old best friend (now deceased) and his brother.
I spent too much time and energy on work and college / university studies, so I often wasn't really present, even when I was sitting in a theater.
So, for different reasons than @katiekats, I'm not at all familiar with most of the media that most of the people around me (either in the workplace or in the tech world) make reference to.
