  • Frank’s self-help persona, the singalong, 1970s Hollywood nostalgia and television as a portal to tawdry distractions feel 1999.
  • Ordering porn magazines and deliveries by telephone feels pre-app 1999.
  • Anderson’s Fiona Apple relationship and bucket hat define the era; their intense creative interaction in That Moment and later friendship/video collaborations are admired. — Sean Fennessey
