So this iteration of the story is simultaneously nostalgic for the characters' '80s glory days; for the '90s grunge era (around when the masterminds David Wain and Michael Showalter made the sketch comedy "The State" for MTV); and for itself - that is, for 2001, before its stars, like Elizabeth Banks, Amy Poehler and Paul Rudd, went on to bigger things.
复述这一故事是为了怀念演员们 80 年代的风光岁月以及 90 年代的垃圾时代（大卫·韦恩和迈克尔·修华特为 MTV 制作素描喜剧《国家》前后）；同时也是对怀旧本身的怀念，对 2001 年的怀念；这一年之前，诸如伊丽莎白·班克斯、艾米·波勒和保罗·路德等众多明星尚未风生水起。
