At any rate, Family Guy is implying that most people probably wouldn’t want to watch any movies from 2003.Īfter looking into it, I was pretty surprised to find out that 2003 actually seemed like a pretty good year for movies.
I think there have been several golden ages of movies, and bad movies come out every year. At the very least it implies that 2003 was not a golden year … I think that would be tough to measure, and golden years of movies are very rare.
This would imply that 2003 was not a very good year for movies. Implicitly, Jason Statham is in a lot of movies on Netflix, and you can extrapolate out that most of the stars on Netflix are on the A-/B-list or lower (apologies to Jason Statham).Ĭlaim 1: 2003 Was Not a Good Year for Moviesįamily Guy’s sarcastic snipe call s 2003 a “golden year” of movies. Jason Statham starred in a lot of movies around 2003 including ones you can find on Netflix.2003 was not a very good year for movies.This makes essentially three claims that I will examine:
Netflix streaming! Buffer for 20 minutes, then watch 35 minutes of a movie with Jason Statham. … If you love the golden year of movies: 2003, we might have some of what you’re looking for. In its typical sardonic and tongue-in-cheek way, Family Guy mocked Netlfix during its 2017 episode “Saturated Fat Guy.” I won’t post a video since anything I can find is likely to be taken down, but if you’re familiar at all with Family Guy you can imagine what the joke is like.
