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!

Fourth Listener Feedback: Star Wars
Who knew that there were so many Star Wars fans out there? Well, we did! This is why we were not surprised at the number of Fourth Listener emails we received about our Backtrack celebrating the original 1977 Star Wars movie! So many of you contacted us that we decided to take a few of our favorites and create a special release episode just to highlight you. Enjoy!

E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial
It was forty years ago that a small alien visitor was accidentally stranded on our planet. He befriended a young boy and his family, developed a taste for _Reese’s Pieces_, and absolutely dominated the box office. In this episode, we look back on four decades of Steven Spielberg’s GenX masterpiece: E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial!

Customer Reviews
Love these guys!
Great podcast about fun modern pop culture/ tech and also about great memories from growing up though GenX. Well done guys, keep up the great work!
GenXGrownup a real Thursday morning treat.
These guys really do mesh together and make for around a whole commute to work (about an hour) every thursday. I've been listening to these guys for almost three years now, and finally decided to at least leave a review. I'm about as far away from them as it can be within the same country (I live in Alaska), but the nostalgia this show brings on my commutes at least brightens my day everytime. Not to mention how much money I've spent after listening to their reviews on products (I actually love my Creality Printer, and I actually got a working Skytech PC, poor George). I need to find my way over to Patreon at some point as I feel I owe it to them for the lighthearted entertainment they bring into my life. Being considered one of the "essential worker" through the pandemic made for some lonely drives into Anchorage. I can't thank these guys enough. Four-ever a Fourth listener..... If you missed out on this one, then you owe it to yourself to go through the back catalogue and hear some of these episodes...... I definitely suggest the Dewey Decimal episode.
An excellent, fun podcast full of great "vibes"
The best thing about this podcast (and I listen to many) is that the hosts are genuinely nice, friendly people with good attitudes and pleasant demeanors. Their mix of dorky 40-something jokes and relaxed banter is well balanced against their knowledge and research. They don't fall pray to the lame snarkiness or tired attempts to be funny that plague so many podcasts--they just seem like kind, funny guys hanging out and rambling on a wide variety of topics. Fun and recommended.
