It's incredible how many older films -- but even into the '90s -- depicted these types of normalized relationships. An absurd example: I happened to flip onto Coneheads from 1993 a couple weeks back, and the aliens' high school daughter is dating Chris Farley's adult mechanic character. Farley would've been 28 when it was filmed. Weird s--t ... or just up Pete Rose's alley.
