Re-watched A Quiet Place as part of a Halloween movie marathon. For AP fans there's a nice little scene from Emily Blunts character where she tells her son that he needs to be prepared to take care of her when she's "Old and gray and have no teeth." and she underscores it by making a face like the old lady she'll someday become:

When I saw it it really got the AP fires burning in my brain. I LOVE when women do this! I always imagine their comments & imitations about being old like this actually triggering their change into he old woman they spoke about & imitated.

So the new Saved by the Bell reboot on Peacock is surprisingly good and does a great job at subverting and making thoughtful commentary on its original source material.
One thing that might be of interest to people on here - in the 4th episode the show ('The Fabulous Birchwood Boys') there is a running gag where some of the main characters from the show interact with various 'High School Seniors' played by a 40-something actor, a 60+ actor (both wearing letterman jackets) and finally a 62-year-old actress in a cheerleading outfit. One of the main characters keeps remarking in disbelief that these older people are seniors at their high school while the other characters don't seem to notice anything wrong about it. Finally, the girl that's been questioning it wonders if the school is aging them all and runs off to check her face in the mirror and make sure that she's still young.
The gag plays off of the fact that the 90s show had a habit of casting OBVIOUSLY adult actors in the roles of high-schoolers. The new show did a nice job with the joke in a fun, AP-friendly way.
It's too bad that Bayside wasn't actually rapidly aging it's student. I think we all would have enjoyed a grey-haired, wrinkled Kelly Kapowski hobbling the halls with the aid of a walker!

Here's a pic of the 'senior cheerleader' for those of you that can't stream the show:
