Was watching It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World with one of my nephews.
He loved it, but it shocked me how many stars he didn't know from the movie.
I still remember back in the day my older bro taking me to the theatre to see "Mad, Mad" on a 70's matinée theatre replaying.
He made dang sure I knew who EVERYONE in the movie was - whether I wanted to know or not
He even explained why each were funny (their schticks)
Rewatching Mad, Mad today I kinda felt like a dinosaur on his last leg.
I almost felt my nephew was laughing just to amuse me - not because he was in on the jokes or thought anything was funny.
Ever feel you're part of the last generation that "gets" classic movies/TV ?
