Anyone who grew up in the 1980s remembers Quantum Leap; the NBC science fiction drama about Dr. Sam Beckett, a scientist who “leaps” into the past to right historic injustices by occupying other people’s bodies — which frequently required him to seduce strangers who thought he was someone else entirely. Kind of gross, Sam. Also, along for the ride was his sassy holographic friend Al, who always smoked cigars and basically had a smartphone made out of Lego which, we assure you, all made sense in the ‘80s.
Despite the fact that no one outside of Scott Bakula’s Fan Club regularly talks much about Quantum Leap anymore, it seems like more and more movies and TV shows are taking inspiration from the classic series. In last year’s Wonder Woman 1984, for example, instead of just having Steve Trevor magically zap into the present day, he basically reverse-Quantum Leaps into some random schmo’s body. The movie even had their own version of Quantum Leap’s trademark “hey, that’s some other dude in the mirror” shot.
