TV Wars: A New Trope TV Wars: A New Trope

Sadly, Teen History Month has come to an end...but it ends in style, 80s and 90s style to be exact. This week we're talking "uncool teens"...for clarity, we're not just talking about ourselves as teenagers.

Our editor, Cody Ziglar makes his first appearance as a guest, where he gets to hear our opinions in real life and not just through the microphones! We talked about the pilots of My So-Called Life and Freaks and Geeks. We also discuss 90s angst, awkward teenagers and the incredible cast of Freaks and Geeks, who are all still relevant.

Thanks to Cody Ziglar for making us (and himself) sound good and Kara Johnson for our theme song (and token male guest host Scott Pawley)!

Teen History Month (a real thing that's not made up) continues this week with the trope of Supernatural Teens, an affliction that affects one out of every four fictional teens, so says science.

Return guest and Teen Wolf expert Steph Militello joins us to talk about the pilots of Teen Wolf and The Vampire Diaries. We also discuss when vampires became sexy, how Stiles is a crazy psychopath, and how vampire and werewolf powers work.
