Two Decades Behind |
| | Joseph's Machines (Web Video) / int_dc26326 |
comment |
Two Decades Behind: This series aired in 2015. However, Jiwi & June's clothing is straight from the mid-20th century, along with June's lack of desire to do anything other than clean up Jiwi's messes and find a man. The technology is also outdated, with Jiwi & June using landline phones and reading newspapers, and it is clear that June has never used a computer before (even though the computer itself is modern). Justified as an homage to Rube Goldberg-era cartoonists and inventors. |
