Generation X. If you grew up in the 1970s, 1980s, and early 1990s, you know just how cool it was to be a kid back then. We had the greatest music, movies, games, technology, and pop culture of any generation, and though we've grown older, we have refused to outgrow our love of everything GenX. GenXGrownUp looks at yesterday and today through the eyes of Generation X'ers who have refused to grow up!

Big Trouble in Little China

Martial arts. Ancient sorcerers. Monsters. Kurt Russell driving a big rig. Somehow, Big Trouble in Little China managed to cram all of that into one unforgettable movie. This time, we’re revisiting John Carpenter’s cult classic and discussing why Gen X fans still can’t get enough of Jack Burton and the Pork-Chop Express. From its endlessly quotable dialogue to its unique blend of action, comedy, fantasy, and horror, we’ll explore what makes this one of the most beloved cult films of the 1980s.

ALF

Before binge-watching and streaming took over, one wisecracking alien from the planet Melmac became a television sensation. In this Backtrack, we’re looking back at ALF, the hit 1980s sitcom that brought an unexpected extraterrestrial into the Tanner family’s home—and into living rooms around the world. We’ll revisit the laughs, the characters, and the memories that made ALF a pop-culture icon.

The Drive-In Movie Experience

Before multiplexes were the norm and long before streaming, the drive-in theater offered a movie-going experience unlike any other. In this episode, we’ll look back on the traditions, technology, and unforgettable memories that made the drive-in a beloved part of American culture. From giant outdoor screens and crackling window speakers to concession stand favorites and double-feature nights, we’ll revisit what made the drive-in a special destination for generations of moviegoers.

Short Circuit

In 1986, a lightning strike turned a military robot into one of the most lovable characters of the entire decade. In this Backtrack, we’re plugging into Short Circuit — a movie packed with Cold War anxiety, mall-era futurism, and a robot who just wanted more input. From Johnny 5 to laser cannons and synth-heavy charm, we’re revisiting why this weird little sci-fi comedy still has a pulse forty years later.
