Seventh Heaven, 'Last Call for Aunt Julie' (1996)

This week Andy and Kat discuss a very special episode of Seventh Heaven. This discussion of Season 1, Episode 10, "Last Call for Aunt Julie" addresses head on terrible 90s food in media, pregnant invisible friends, drinking during the holidays, and vivid hallucinations. In this special Thanksgiving episode, we ask all the important questions, like why is the key to the liquor cabinet always in the lock? Plus, Andy reveals how New York aunts drink their vodka.

Trading Mom (1994)

Well, buckle in for another unhinged episode! We talk about the 1994 film, Trading Mom, as well as errors we have made on CVs past and present and the very real possibility of a character who lives in a field and is probably an alien.

Sabrina the Teenage Witch: Showdown at the Mall (1997)

We chat about the 1997 Sabrina the Teenage Witch novel Showdown at the Mall, plus some context about the TV series and the author, Diana G. Gallagher. Heads up, there is a LOT of fatphobia in this book, which we discuss, including some discussion of clothing sizes as referenced in the text. We have some 'Inside Baseball' moments about retail jobs and publishing and we spend a lot of time critquing the fashions of the book, which are depicted in great detail.

Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home (1986)

It's the one with the whales! Buckle up, everybody! Full disclosure: we didn't like this film very much. I'm sorry, fellow Star Trek fans!! Andy describes the technology depicted in this film as 8-bit video games on teleprompters, which is, if anything, too accurate. We take a detour to talk about the names of California class ships from Lower Decks. As usual, we're angry about the food in this movie. And toward the end, Kat has some things to say about the journey to the 21st century in season two of Picard. Here is the One Tree Hill dog eats human heart scene, if you're interested.

Volcano (1997)

This week we discuss the 1997 film Volcano. Kat is erupting with good ideas, and we learn an important moral lesson: public transportation is bad and does not belong In Los Angeles—or does it? We discuss this as well as more upsetting depictions of eggs being cooked in this week's episode because the 90s was a decade on pills. You can find us on Twitter and Instagram @SoY2KPodcast, or you can email us on SoY2KPodcast@gmail.com with any thoughts, questions, or suggestions for future episodes.

Contact (1997)

'Math numbers: the universal language.' In this episode, we had a lot to say about space science, narrative choices, and 90s womenswear. We kind of hated this movie but also it's our favo(u)rite?? Help!! You can find us @SoY2KPodcast on Twitter and Instagram or you can email us on SoY2KPodcast@gmail.com with any thoughts, questions, or suggestions for future episodes.

Twister (1996)

This week on So Y2K we discuss Twister (1996), a film we both loved as children but which raised a lot of questions for us when we rewatched. Questions like: what does a tornado smell like? When people die in tornados, do their ghosts haunt future tornados? How exactly should one put gravy on mashed potatoes? Maybe you can answer these for us, because this film certainly can't!

Golden Girls, 'Isn't it Romantic?' (1986)

Welcome to So Y2K, a queer millennial pop culture nostalgia podcast. In this episode, we tackle The Golden Girls Season 2 Episode 5, 'Isn't it Romantic?' (1986) and we talk a little bit about who we are and what perspective we're bringing to discussing the media of our millennial youth. You can find us on Twitter and Instagram @SoY2KPodcast or you can email us on SoY2KPodcast@gmail.com with any thoughts, questions, or suggestions for future episodes. As we discussed in the intro, the overturning of Roe v. Wade has made supporting abortion access in the US more important than ever.
