What decades do his movies take place in?


what decade do his movies take place in because it doesn't seem they take place in the 00s

For example, Superbad and Pineapple Express and some others seem like the 70s-90s

They obviously take place in present times. Notice the cell phones in every movie?

Yeah, they may have retro vibe to them, but unless specified otherwise they all take place in the 2000s-2010s. I echo, look at all the pop culture references and new technology, it's pretty obvious it's present day.

This is the most retarded post ever.

Superbad was written long before it was made, by Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg (hence the lead's names). It was adapted for today but retains a lot of a 90s vibe... it was written by them in highschool when they were 13-15 (obviously not the final draft). Freaks and Geeks takes place in 1980 when Apatow was in highschool.

P.s. to the guy above. How is an honest question that completely makes sense to wonder about and has a ground in the actual process that resulted in the movies "retarded"? Since Superbad does virtually take place in the 90s with updated details like the aforementioned cellphones etc. Next time use "EVAAAAAH" it would fit the reply better.

The only reason one would choose not to waste intelligence and knowledge on a reply is because they likely have none to spare.
