Groovy Baby, But Like, What Year Is Austin Powers In?
Ah, Austin Powers: international man of mystery, connoisseur of corduroy, and champion of the phrase "shag a day keeps the doctor away" (probably not medically accurate, but hey, it's the 60s!). But if you're diving into this comedic goldmine, you might be wondering exactly when this whole swinging spy business goes down.

Freeze, Frame. Enhance!
Reminder: Reading twice often makes things clearer.
The answer, my friend, is a triptych. That's right, there are three key dates to consider when it comes to Austin Powers' temporal odyssey:
- 1967: Swinging London, Baby! This is where it all kicks off. Austin Powers is at the height of his cool, thwarting Dr. Evil's nefarious schemes and living the life of a groovy secret agent. Think "mod fashion," "Danger Man" marathons, and enough shags to make your head spin (metaphorically, of course).
- Cryo-Nap Time! After a groovy adventure (involving a rocket, sharks with lasers for eyes, the whole shebang), Austin gets frozen in time for a cool (literally) 30 years.
- Unfreezing Austin: Culture Shock City! Welcome to the 1990s, Austin! Pastels are in, leg warmers are everywhere, and your favourite slang sounds like nails on a chalkboard. The fish-out-of-water comedy truly begins here, as Austin tries to navigate this strange new world with his outdated mojo.
Tip: Reread complex ideas to fully understand them.
So, Technically, What Year is it Then?

The film series bounces between 1967 and 1997, with most of the action taking place in the latter. But hey, knowledge is power, baby (especially if that power helps you score groovy clothes at a vintage store).
