Pop culture Quote by Ben Stiller
“As it happens in pop culture, their time has come and gone. So when we pick them up, they're sort of on the outside. They're not on people's minds anymore. They're having to reconcile themselves with that and figuring out where they exist in today's world. They have to overcome some adversity and sort of reintegrate themselves into society.”
