What topics have you discussed, lately, with your 30-something friends that drew blank stares?

I work with quite a few people in their 30’s. A couple of them, I consider to be close friends. All of them seem to be very intelligent, but last week, on one particular day, one or more of them looked at me blankly when I mentioned: Ryan Gosling (the actor), Great Expectations (the book), Alan Alda (the actor), and North by Northwest (the movie).

I guess I was under the false assumption that all of these topics/people were common enough, or well known enough, that most adults would have heard of them. Guess I was wrong.

What topics or people have you mentioned lately, to your 30-something friends, that drew blank stares?
