A core memory I have as a teen was going to a character breakfast at Disneyland. At the time, I was pretty obsessed with Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and when one of the characters stopped by our table to make chit chat, it was all I could talk about. The character in question was Prince Philip of sleeping beauty. He did a brief bit about "not knowing what sort of magic box a television is, young lady, But I have heard tales about the legendary Slayer of vampires! Is she not the one who defeated the First Evil?!"
It was great, it's a unique core memory that I have, and I never would have gotten it if there was some rule about not discussing modern things with Non-modern characters
