[Guardians of the Galaxy] How does Quill know about Pulp Fiction?

He says that the Orb has a(n) "Ark of the Covenant, glowing briefcase, Maltese Falcon-esque vibe." The Ark of the Covenant and Maltese Falcon make sense, as those films came out in 1981 and 1941, respectively. The question is how he knew about the briefcase, seeing as Pulp Fiction came out in 1994, six years after Quill left Earth.

Tarantino films are often an amalgamation of many pop cultural references, the glowing briefcase idea likely coming from the movie Kiss Me Deadly (1955). It is probable Peter Quill was referring to that.  Not sure why he was watching old movies like that, perhaps his mom recommended it.
