This classic plot hook harkens back to “Close Encounters of the Third Kind” and “A Trip to the Moon,” and if I had to place a bet, it’s the oldest story mankind’s got.

Most directly, “The Antidote” harkens to Eleanor Catton’s Booker award winning “The Luminaries,” which centers around the mysteries of a gold rush port town in New Zealand.

So maybe you draw a line to my kind of modal baselines that kind of harken back to “A Love Supreme.”

Its title, which harkens back to network sitcoms of yesteryear and wholesome themes of a family growing and learning together, feel straight out of a Norman Lear production.

The Super Bowl video harkens to a happy time, when Bryant wasn’t pulling off an amazing athletic feat of his own but was a relatable everyday football fan.
