Alec is halfway to saying something vaguely diplomatic—he'd grunted out an affirmation about being new here, but that doesn't necessarily mean (unlike Alec) he hasn't seen any movies since arriving—except then Peter moves on. Alright then. He's just going to let the implied accusation of oldness hang out there unchallenged, sorry Peter.
And he wasn't sure what sorts of movie titles he was expecting, mostly because he has approximately zero exposure to any pop culture (let alone the pop culture of the decade before he was born), but Star Wars and Alien (and Aliens? Alec does not yet know the difference) and especially Beetlejuice all sound very strange. He squints for a moment, trying to decipher if Peter is messing with him or actually trying to answer the question.
He eventually settles on hoping that the guy is too exhausted to try pranking a stranger, at least until after he's finished that first cup. (And honestly, after Alec sees 1980's Harrison Ford for the first time, their reasons might not be so different after all.)
"Are they all... space related?" Live a little, Alec. It's good to think outside the urban fantasy box every now and again.
