"Besides, it doesn't make any sense to have these characters living in the year 3000 when all their points of reference are from the pop culture of the 80's and the 90's"

About this Quote
This quote by Joel Hodgson is referring to the show Mystery Science Theater 3000, which includes characters residing in the year 3000. The quote is recommending that it does not make good sense for the characters to be residing in the year 3000 when all their points of reference are from the pop culture of the 80's and 90's. This is since the popular culture of the 80's and 90's would be obsoleted and irrelevant in the year 3000. It would be hard for the characters to connect to the world around them if they are referencing outdated popular culture. The quote is recommending that the show needs to be embeded in a more contemporary time period, so that the characters can connect to the world around them. This would make the show more relatable and enjoyable for viewers.
