    No plan. No outline. No research. Just three Gen X women armed with mystery topics, unfiltered hot takes, and a few moments we’ll probably deny later. With zero adult supervision (or, even Chris), we wandered straight into NSFW territory and didn’t bother turning back.

    Seriously, be prepared for a little too much honesty that might’ve crossed the line a couple of times. (but in a good way).

  • Back to ’85: The Year Movies Peaked?
    Nov 12 2025

    The movies turning 40 in 2025 are aging like fine wine (or like us, depending on the lighting). Between the first Blockbuster store opening to the massive number of films appearing in theatres that year, let’s face it - 1985 ruined us for anything else. From The Breakfast Club to Back to the Future to Brazil to Cocoon the whole podcast crew is revisiting the classic 80's films we loved (and duh, still do). Some may call it a cinematic midlife crisis, but we call it awesome. So pass the popcorn (and the ibuprofen).

  • Trick or Trauma? GenX Childhood “fears”
    Oct 29 2025

    Instead of haunted houses, we had real-life fears - like Pop Rocks (with Coke), the Bermuda Triangle, and that one creepy white van parked down the street. This Halloween on the podcast, we’re unwrapping all the “tricks” that scared the hell out of us as Gen X kids, and realizing that while some fears fade, ours just got funnier. Plus we hear what freaked out our FB community growing up so trust us - you don’t wanna miss this one. 🎃👻
