The Venerable Wede

Having been/being the exact age of the characters, Yellowjackets is one of my favorite shows right now but my one serious criticism is some of the language in the 90s scenes is wildly anachronistic. It rips me right out of immersion every time a character says something like “for the win” in 1997.

do you think LeBron is associated with the "middle era" same as Hitler in UC?
do you think there are feddies out there whose favourite movie is an anachronistic historical biopic about LeBron dunking on the Nazis?

Rereading the Patrick O'Brian books by way of audiobook this time, and his strange anachronistic dialogue is seeping through my brain so that inevitably I'm going to accidentally drop a phrase like "handsomely now!" or "uncommon genteel"
