The latest Austin Butler movie, Caught Stealing, hit the 2025 movie schedule this weekend, and it did something that I didn’t expect: it made me nostalgic. I am not, by nature, particularly nostalgic. In fact, all the throwbacks to Gen X culture lately have driven me a little nuts, even as a member of that generation. However, the new movie, directed by Darren Aronofsky, had me wistfully remembering my years living in the East Village, right around the time that Caught Steaming is set, 1998.
