Haters Gonna Hate
with Adam Rotstein

It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia
The Pepe Silvia meme as a diagnosis for picking up on every social signal.

Parasite
The retaliatory gotcha in a game of who hasn't done the cultural homework.

Albert Nobbs
Dredged up mid-tangent on Glenn Close being described, always, as handsome.

A wrong guess in a long, unassisted struggle to name the Eggers book everyone read.

Family Guy
Confessed as the actual source of everything the hosts know about older culture.

Girls
The show made while she was seriously ill, which the memoir reframes entirely.
