Pop Culture Rosetta Stone

It started months ago when he came to my desk and asked me what the deal was with 'Cleopatra and Marc Anthony', as he called them.


I explained the 'deal' around it, and he suddenly exclaimed it was just like some sci-fi game I hadn't heard of. I looked it up, and I understood.


So every time I saw him, I outlined a historical event to find out what pop culture was like that.


When I found a historical event he didn't have a pop culture parallel for, I immediately got to work on a screenplay using that exact concept.
