Abby Salzberg and Riley Cecil Taggart take guests back to the most culturally chaotic decade in (their) recent memory: 2000-2010. In each episode, they'll dive into guests' early 2000s experience before unpacking a topic that helped shape who they are today, whether it be a movie, TV show, or outdated celebrity. This incredibly important podcast begs the question: does it hold up or is Hindsight really 2000? Produced by Justin Linville Original theme song by Harrison Lott

    The Wedding Planner w/ Erin Keif

    Let's get LOUD!! In today's episode, Riley and Abby sit down with comedian Erin Keif to discuss the J. Lo classic, The Wedding Planner. They dig into what makes 2000s romcoms awful and spectacular, such as Matthew McConaughey's charming gaslighting, Judy Greer's always-a-bridesmaid-never-a-bride-career, and, for better or for worse (probably worse) J. Lo's influence on our generation's romantic relationships. There's simply no better way to close out Season One!    Follow Erin: IG TW   And listen to Erin's wonderful podcasts Hey Riddle Riddle and Sitcom D&D!    While Abby and Riley take a few months off this summer, drop them suggestions/topics to cover at hindsightis2000@gmail.com

    Anchorman w/ Meaghan Strickland

    Today's ep is an absolute manic rollercoaster. Riley and Abby sit down with the incomparable Meaghan Strickland to discuss the movie that, one could argue (they would argue), defined their generation (or just Abby and Riley) and 100% inspired Riley's incredible hair. It's basically the reason they started the podcast so tune the f**k in 'cause it's Anchorman, baby!  Follow Meaghan for more goofs:  IG TW

    Borat w/ Harris Mayersohn

    Abby and Riley sat down with funny guy Harris Mayersohn to discuss one of the most controversial comedies of all time, Borat. Harris breaks down why this spectacular car wreck of entertainment potentially changed America forever… for the worse. Tune in to find out where they stand on classic American values like stubbornness veiled as patriotism, shitting on other countries veiled as patriotism, and lauding racist, misogynistic, homophobic frat boys... veiled as patriotism. This episode is actually pretty bad... NOT!  Follow Harris!  TW IG Read his Bright Wall, Dark Room essay on Borat here. And go see Normal Guys, a weekly comedy show at Emblem BK.
