When pulp fiction isn't home, what could it mean?

It could be all sorts of things! Maybe there's a wild party or some secret projects being carried out.

It could be all sorts of things. Maybe there's a wild party or some secret activities that wouldn't be allowed when mom's around.

I have no idea what that combination of words means. It seems quite random and doesn't make much sense to me.

Perhaps it means that this 'pulp fiction' is a subversion of the genre. It might not rely on the common tropes of pulp fiction like excessive violence for the sake of it, or cliched characters. Instead, it could be using the pulp fiction framework to tell a much more meaningful and intelligent story. It could also be that the quality of the writing, the depth of the ideas, or the overall artistic merit is much higher than what we expect from pulp fiction.

The absence of Pulp Fiction could be because of a variety of factors. It could be that the rights to show it have expired, or it might not meet the content standards of the current provider. Also, changes in viewer demand or business decisions could play a role.

Well, 'don't be a pulp fiction' might suggest avoiding being something that's considered shallow or overly sensational. Maybe it's a call to strive for more substance and quality.

Sure. Pulp fiction is often associated with being fast - paced, action - filled, and not overly concerned with deep meaning. But if it 'isn't really pulp fiction', it might be that it defies these expectations. For instance, it could have a strong moral message or a complex exploration of human nature that is not typical of pulp. It might also be that the writing style is more refined, not the simple, straightforward style usually found in pulp.
