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!

    Top Box Office Hits of 1986

    1986 was a massive year at the movies. Action heroes were larger than life, comedy was firing on all cylinders, and a few films arrived that would become all-time classics. From fighter jets and wise-cracking Aussies to martial arts showdowns and sci-fi horror, the box office was packed with unforgettable hits. Today, we’re counting down the ten highest-grossing films of 1986—the movies audiences lined up around the block to see and the ones that helped define the pop-culture landscape of the mid-’80s.

    Ready Player One

    We’re stepping into the OASIS to talk about Ready Player One—a novel that turned video games, ’80s pop culture, and virtual reality into a full-blown modern myth. Whether you see it as a love letter to geek culture, a warning about digital escapism, or a nostalgia-fueled scavenger hunt, Ready Player One left a lasting mark on how we think about gaming, identity, and the future of virtual worlds. Let’s power up, log in, and see why this story still sparks conversation years after its release. (May contain some explicit language.)

    REWIND: Answering Machines

    Before the rise of smartphones, voicemail, and texting, the way we avoided missing important calls was with a tape recorder plugged into the wall. Now nearly extinct, the answering machine used to be standard equipment in most every home. In this episode, we remember this abandoned tech and the role it played in our lives.
