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. 🤷🏻‍♂️

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.

I would date them so we can amaze people about the amount of movies and shows we haven't watched combined.

So date them, show them a movie every night, and see how many it takes for them to say, “Seen it.” Then repeat. EZPZ

Why is that a bad thing? You could watch them together

Wait, that's awesome, so much stuff we could watch together for the first time and talk about it until the sun comes up !

Yeah I watch a lot of TV shows... The same ones over and over

Oh, so you’re a movie fan? Name every Hallmark movie.
