Sothat you can immerse yourself in the scene, I want you to imagine that your father, a boomer, sits down on your couch. He picks up the remote, saying he wants to watch a movie.
Immediately, you mentally prepare to watch a movie about a guy in a desert protecting a hunk of gold. Or a documentary about the biggest fish in the world. You begin praying for the fish docuseries he confused with a movie.
I could watch a few episodes of Naked and Afraid — that’s in my back pocket. If the movie is awful, I’ll slip the thought in. Hey, Dad, have you seen the episode where this guy goes home after four days with a ‘tummy ache.’
