I personally don't feel the need to "keep up" with anything. That may reduce the number of things I can share with strangers I meet, but not that much. When I have a few friends that talk about the same thing for a long time, I tend to take the time to see/read it. Usually I have a good time, and I can talk to them about something that they like a lot. But this is a few movies a year at most.
Someone else quoted something from Seneca against reading too many book: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29317420 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29317420. I feel like the deeper I go into something, the more I get from it. Going deeper could be seeing/reading the thing multiple times, talking about it with friends, researching it. It transforms what can be a passive consumption into an active one. I see a lot of videos, explanations or memes that are based on taking way too seriously something. While this is often used as a joke, I feel like there is value in that. I think everything can be used as a lens through which you can perceive the world, if you spend enough time with it.
