I was hoping it was a reference to foraging after the apocalypse.
I think you mean "A Boy and His Dog" [0], which was, ironically, set in 2024.

I did not mean that, but now I have a movie to watch! Thanks!
Coincidentally, not ironically. Perhaps clairvoyantly or prophetically. Definitely not ironically.
adverb: ironically "used to denote a paradoxical, unexpected, or coincidental situation."

I did not expect to learn the film was set in 2024 and found it oddly coincidental.

There's still time.
