We Don't Wanna Grow Up is a nostalgic podcast about pop culture, toys and fond memories of the 80s, 90s and 00s. We want to take you back to that feeling of strolling down the aisles at Toys R Us, flipping through the J.C. Penney catalog so you can ear-mark everything you want for Christmas, cozying up in front of the television on a Saturday morning with a big bowl of cereal, or waiting hours for a certain song to play on the radio so you can hit record on your tape player and have the song forever. We want to recapture the feeling of the moment your dELiA*s catalog arrived in the mail, looking at the album art in your new CD and sitting on your inflatable furniture. Remembering all of this has been a comfort and has helped us get through the stress and anxiety that has come along with everything happening in the world lately, and we hope it helps you a little bit, too.

    We're interrupting our summer schedule because we watched Andrew McCarthy's documentary, Brats, and had a lot of thoughts that we thought our listeners might like to hear! Join us as we talk about the Brat Pack from our perspective: who was a member, who was Brat Pack-adjacent, and who we felt should've been featured in the doc, that wasn't!Our InstagramOur WebsiteOur FacebookOur TikTokSupport the Show.Want to support the show?

    Pete finally getting his Robocop episode? I'd buy that for a dollar! It's Stacy's first viewing of the 1987 film, and we had a good time discussing it!
