The poses, the styles, the scams, the colorization technology, and of course the strange, floating head ominously hovering above your family’s shoulders, we’re diving into it all!

    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. If you miss the cleaning feeling of popping open a new VHS or the panic of returning it on time to skip the late fees, tune into this episode. 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! Honorable mentions include Gone with the Wind, John Mayer (ew), Discovery Zone, classic commercials, the Oregon Trail, and more! What are your favorite memories of renting videos?

    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. What was your favorite show on SNICK? DM us on socials at @MillennialMoodboardPod or email us at millennialmoodboardpodcast@gmail.com!

    MTV's Spring Break vs BET's Spring Bling

    Welcome to the very first episode of Millennial Moodboard! We don’t waste any time diving into one of the most memorable moments of our Millennial culture: Spring Break, baby! Your hosts Jasmine, Valerie, and Pallavi discuss the absolutely wild time when MTV’s Spring Break and BET’s Spring Bling reigned supreme. Spring break programming tapped into a huge millennial fantasy: beaches, celebrities, live performances, reality TV tie-ins, VJs, wacky contests, and the illusion that regular ‘ol people could be discovered by showing up in the right bikini at the right beach. Now, we have TikTok for that, and we gotta be honest, it does not hit the same. Honorable mentions of this episode: early 2000s reality TV, Carson Daly, TRL, America’s Next Top Model, Parental Control, Next, Road Rules, Degrassi, Drake, Girls Gone Wild, Operation Repo, millennial drinking culture, pre-smartphone life, and lots more! Millennials, got your own Spring Break stories? We wanna hear ‘em! DM us on socials at @MillennialMoodboardPod or email us at millennialmoodboardpodcast@gmail.com!
