Two best friends throw it back to the pop culture--and personal experiences--that shaped them growing up in South Brooklyn in the 80s and 90s.

    “He maintains, he’s a bumper” | Beverly Hills 90210 (1990-2000)

    This one’s worth listening to for the episode title payoff alone. Steve Sanders, we see you. We may throw around the word “formative” a lot on this pod, but damn if this show wasn’t formative as hell. From 50s/60s nostalgia to early 90s beauty standards, this is the OG Beverly Hills 90210.  *cue bodaciously dramatic guitar riff* We talk at length about Brandon Walsh being the WORST, and we finally have it out about our separate paths re: Grey’s Anatomy.  RIP Shannen Doherty and Luke Perry ❤️‍🔥 EDITED BY Sophia Betz 🎧

    If you watch Jersey Shore ironically, please skip this episode altogether.  Thank you. EDITED BY Sophia Betz 🎧

    “Forgive, never forget” | Our 90s Teen Movie Awards

    Ruh roh, we’re getting scholarly again! What makes a 90s teen movie? We dive into a *hard* definition and the tropes of the genre–and try to anoint a 90s teen movie MVP 🏅 Plus: the gorgeous campiness of She’s All That, Kids (1995) being a horror film, Taylor Vaughan being #gayorigins, the parallels between Stifler and Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino, and the underrated comedic stylings of Marley Shelton. Also: high school jobs, S2 of Yellowjackets, we go off on a maaaaajor Kid-n-Play tangent, and our Leo in Basketball Diaries impression makes another appearance (sorryyyyy). EDITED BY Sophia Betz 🎧

    “And I’m the Dream Boy” | Gay Origins

    Let us take you on a journey, a wide sweeping journey of the top things in pop culture that made us feel gay. From Denise Huxtable to Rayanne Graff, these are the people, the characters, and the moments that were sexually formative for us.  Word to the wise: you don’t marry your number one.  Also: who knew Ferris Bueller’s Day Off would make both of our lists–FOR DIFFERENT REASONS?? Feast your eyes!  https://tinyurl.com/m2pp6mex EDITED BY Sophia Betz 🎧

    "Scholarly Circles" | Our Top 10 JC Chasez Moments

    The year was 1998. After making a name for themselves across the pond, a boy band for a new era of boy bands came back to the States (specifically Orlando) and tore up our hearts–especially one man and his, dare we say, “thug appeal.” That man? The true lead singer of *NSYNC: JC Chasez.  Yes we WILL be talking mad smack about JT (and maaaaybe delving into some of our wackadoodle theories about the JT/JC of it all, STAY WITH US! Don’t back away!). …We’re definitely getting sued.  Also: buying concert tickets from strangers in AOL chat rooms, and the mysterious disappearance of USB-C lightning cables.

    "I did all my thinking at the nail salon yesterday" | The Cutting Edge (1992)

    SURPRISE, beetches! After two and a half years, we're back for another round of episodes -- because we just couldn't quit without addressing some of our all-time faves. ✨ Welcome to one of the BEST romcoms of all time, the blueprint for enemies-to-lovers fan fiction, the one we've quoted in damn near every episode of this pod: The Cutting Edge. We lament how this movie gave us the most unrealistic expectations for what adult life would look like (...if you're hosting a black tie New Year's party with a live band, let us know).  Also: The Substance, our complicated relationship with photos of ourselves, and the potency of Sabrina (1995)!!
