About this listen

In this new segment episode called Mixtape Rewind, we dive into the life lessons we picked up from the movies that raised us. From The Karate Kid’s reminder that the boring reps matter, to Dead Poets Society’s call to stand up even when your voice shakes, these films delivered more than entertainment — they gave us a code.


We unpack timeless truths from The Sandlot, Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, Forrest Gump, and The NeverEnding Story, all backed by a soundtrack that hits hard with “You’re the Best” by Joe Esposito and Cyndi Lauper’s “The Goonies ‘R’ Good Enough.” Plus, our “You Gotta Be Kidding Me” segment makes its debut. It’s all heart, grit, and Gen X wisdom — one rewind at a time.
