While we could ride that wave and have a bunch of stuff that fit into both decades - Circuit City, The Simpsons, conflicts in the Middle East - it’s going to be much more fruitful if we can find tokens that are exclusive to the new millennium. This does belay the first problem with making a movie set in the Noughties, though: the 2000s are pretty much just the 90s but with less Bill Clinton.īlockbuster was absolutely a staple of my childhood, but as we just discussed, it fit perfectly into a movie set in 1995.
