Happy 50th episode! We're celebrating by leaving the summer of 2020 and traveling back to the groovy summer of 1970. Midnight cemetery meetings, seances, having "the talk," banana seats on your bicycle, a first kiss, skinny dipping, a murder mystery, Brendan Fraser...there's something for everyone! 

As An Adult

Now & Then

This week, we get little! Honey, I Shrunk the Kids taught a generation of us to be terrified of their own backyards. And also their dad's shrinking machine in the attic. 

Honey, I Shrunk the Kids

Unicorn obsession didn't start for 90's kids with My Little Pony. Don't get it twisted. The OG Unicorn story for Old Millennials involves a Red Bull, a stoned butterfly and a peg-leg pirate kitty. Sound unnecessary and scattered and scary? Of course it does. 

The Last Unicorn

Demonstrations, diagrams, experiments, danger, rock bands, volcanoes...relax everyone, it's SCIENCE. Join us for an EXPLOSIVE conversation with special guest, Louis Steinberg about America's beloved Science Teacher, Bill Nye.

Bill Nye The Science Guy

If you think that this movie was terrifying when you saw it in 1999 and it *might* be just as scary now, you are...correct. Also, it is ABSURD that Haley Joel Osment didn't get an Oscar for this role. 

The Sixth Sense

If a giant (and we're talkin GIANT) robot fell from the sky...wouldn't YOU want it to be your best friend? Yep. We do too. This week we travel to Somewhere Off The Coast Of Maine for an adventure with Hogarth and his new alien machine pal. 

The Iron Giant

There might be a spoon. It's 2020. We don't know anymore. 

The Matrix

Have you ever wondered how a Jack Russell Terrier would fare in an old-timey sword fight? Well, look no further than PBS's 90's hit, Wishbone! Combining his love of classic literature and modern day #KidProbz, our four-legged friend gave us the English lessons (and trivia fodder) we didn't know we needed.

Finally, As An Adult gets to Leo, in his breakout role.  See what I did there? Ok, fine, yes this was after Romeo and Juliet, and YES this was after TITANIC of all things but I think we can all admit that Leo's turn as France's King Louis XIV rocking just an unabashed American accent while prancing around Versailles should have won this man an Oscar. The Academy should be ASHAMED of itself. 

The Man In The Iron Mask

This week we dip back into TGIF with Boy Meets World. It turns out that although everything old is new again, we are NOT here for that dumb "curtain" haircut. 90's, you can KEEP IT. 

Boy Meets World

In perhaps his most elementary role, Arnold Schwarzenegger charms as tough cop turned goofus Kindergarten teacher, John Kimble. Yes there's a ferret and YES Leslie Knope's mom (actress Pamela Reed) SLAYS as Arnold's partner. Who is the target audience for this adorable/scary light-hearted/bloodbath family/thriller film for? We still don't know.

Go-Go Gadget Podcast! In syndication for a million years, Inspector Gadget, Penny, Brain, Dr. Claw, and Madcat bumbled their way into our living rooms day after day. Was this show ever NOT on??? Heck, even the constantly exploding Chief Quimby holds a special place in our 90's kids' hearts. 

Inspector Gadget

"Welcome to doing whatever you wish...eating and sleeping all day...welcome to being...DEAD."  YES! This is a kid's movie about dog-on-dog MURDER. Wasn't being a 90's kid just a BLAST??!?! It's fine, there's waffles and a raygun and a singing alligator. 

All Dogs Go To Heaven

Remember how we thought that in the 90's we dressed like Cher Horowitz? And then we thought we dressed like Clarissa? Yeah, we dressed like Alex Mack. And we weren't even cool enough to have Capri-Sun-morph powers to make up for it.  

The Secret World of Alex Mack

After several attempts to re-watch movies/shows or read books from our childhoods, it has become increasingly clear that times have CHANGED. The pop-culture staples of our iconic 90's upbringing, the things that helped form us into the 'adults' we are today, are much different when viewed today in our increasingly 'woke' world.
