- What does this movie look like in the 2020 incel era, with social media and a lonely guy online all day without seeing other humans?
- Response: the '40' matters; he cocooned himself in nostalgia, is weirdly happy and just looking for connection, which would be hard to replicate now but does not seem foreign.
- He would probably look more like Mine Hunter now.
- Why doesn't he have more Star Wars stuff? Born in 1965, he was 12 when Star Wars came out; maybe it was a rights or licensing issue.
- Rogen's shirts are all Universal Music Group artists such as Public Enemy, so they were cleared easily.
- Was Andy's electronics store a success? No: he gets wiped out by the 08 housing crisis, they break up when her eBay store goes under, and they end up working in a diner.
