'Reality Bites' Gets a TV Remake. Here's Your Guide to Understanding 1994

If you've never seen "Reality Bites" — the ultimate time capsule of '90s slacker angst — well, you were probably born in the 21st century. The now-classic ode to early reality TV, Clinton-era rebellion, and gender-bending butt cuts is making a comeback, with the help of one of its original stars. Ben Stiller's production company is slated to develop a TV series based on the film. The plot will revolve around original heroine Lelaina Pierce and her gaggle of faithful Doc Martin-ed friends as they navigate the post-college blahs. The show will stay true to its roots, and take place in the era of cordless phones and sleeveless Gap denim shirts. That means Millennials will have to brush up on their pop culture history if they're going to understand the references. Here's a 1994-to-2013 translation for "Bites" beginners.  —Piper Weiss
