    There’s a local burger place that has a burger called the Royale with Cheese,after Pulp Fiction, and one night I overheard some kid in there telling his friend it was named after some movie from the 1980s. I could not stop myself from yelling “You’re about 15 years off the mark”.

      It definitely has an 80’s vibe to it, which I think is part of what Tarantino was going for. His movies are usually a satire/parody of certain genres, and Pulp Fiction is definitely an homage to the crime/mobster movies of the 80’s.

          Honestly, good for you. I’ve been burned so many times by thinking “oh, it was recent,” then I guess that the new grinch movie came out in 2014.

          I tried to make that a real guess, then I looked it up, and apparently there was another one in 2018, but rest assured, I meant the one from 2000 (?!)

      1994, so five years off the mark

        At best. At worst 14 years off. Split the diff and call it 7.

        1987 felt like a different universe to me than the mid '90s. (I’m mid 40s, so grew up during that time.)
