The Make Out Mixtape 53:34

26d ago53:34

53:34

Join us today for a continuation of our discussion about the most beloved ancient relic that ultimately belonged to just one generation (hint: it was us): and that is the mixtape, a DIY medium exchanged between friends and lovers that was, on its surface, a way to share music but was actually a thinly veiled communication device intended to express…

Ode To The Mixtape 47:37

1M ago47:37

47:37

In today's episode, we’ll be saving an art form that belongs almost solely to Gen Xers – the friendship bracelet of the 80s and 90s, the analog version of posting and sharing – we’re talking about the making and gifting of mixtapes. Born in the 1980s and peaking in the mid 1990s, the mixtape truly belongs to Gen Xers. Boomers were adults and Millen…

After discussing the unforgettable characters, scenes and lines (so many quotable lines!) from Fast Times at Ridgemont High in our last episode, it's time to go deeper --with a discussion of the unforgettable music that cemented it as a teen classic.

2M ago1:00:30

1:00:30

Fast Times at Ridgemont High, we learned it, knew it, lived it. It’s an iconic and unforgettable film for — dare we say? — our entire generation. And this week we dove deep in that pool (yes, that pool) to talk all about it. Is it fair that Fast Times is included in the same category as Porky's and other exploitation movies? What scenes and lines o…

Those Coming of Age Classics From Your Gen X Library & "The Genius of Judy Blume" 1:05:09

4M ago1:05:09

1:05:09

If we get real about the books we read in the Gen X era, there might be one category that helped us the most -- the books we passed around our classrooms and hid under our mattresses because they brazenly talked about all the messiness of growing up (like bodies, babies, boobs and body odor). These were the guidebooks for our own coming of age jour…

6M ago1:05:32

1:05:32

Charlie's Angels: Which Angel are You? 1:14:03

7M ago1:14:03

1:14:03

Once upon a time there were three little girls who religiously followed three little girls who went to the police academy.

1:25:33

Just sit right back and you’ll hear a tale, a tale of a fateful trip …” You’re singing the end of that song now, aren’t you? (You’re welcome.) That’s because the TV shows from the 50s and 60s that reran constantly during our Gen X childhoods took up entire afternoons, weekends, and summer vacations. They were our after-school friends, our babysitte…

Kramer vs Kramer: The Adult Movie for GenX Kids 1:06:03

9M ago1:06:03

1:06:03

Kramer vs. Kramer, the divorce drama starring Dustin Hoffman and a young Meryl Streep, opened on December 19, 1979 and quickly became more than a movie; it was, according to Vanity Fair, a cultural benchmark, a snapshot of the fractured American family. If statistics hold true, that applies to roughly half of you. Even if your parents were married …

Letterwriting is the topic that took the PCPS by storm!

We’re kicking off Season 11 by celebrating that motley group of messy-haired kids who wore the coveted striped shirts and ran amuck in a big, open, Boston studio singing silly songs off-key, playing silly games, performing silly skits, and speaking in a silly language that SOME of us (cough… Kristin …) can still speak in today. Zoom taught us more …
