    Blockbuster Video

    Oh Blockbuster, you beautiful blue and yellow staple of our childhood weekends! Strolling through those dirtily-carpeted aisles, fighting over movie choices with your family, wishing the completely checked-out teen cashier thought you were cool.

Reminisce with us about the weekend event of renting physical media from Blockbuster, gone too soon due to the petty squabbles of CEOs making terrible decisions, but never forgotten!

    SNICK

    Cozy up on the big orange couch, fellow millennials, cause this week we're yapping about SNICK: Nickelodeon's sacred two-hour block of perfection programming that still holds up today. Between Clarissa Explains It All, Are You Afraid of the Dark, All That, Kenan & Kel, and more, SNICK gave us sketch comedy, spooky campfire stories, weird crushes, and enough tween chaos to make us feel like we had plans. Jump in to hear what shows defined the era, why it went away, and how a programming block somehow became a core memory for all of us. PS: Sorry not sorry about the runaway train roasting our amazing producer, Kyle. Honorable mentions of this episode: Mandatory naps, Heated Rivalry, VHS tapes, Slime ingredients, smoking indoors, Goosebumps, clown propaganda, Dora the Explorer, dope theme songs, Duolingo, and more.
