Booyah 90s Now episodes

  • Wings, "Say Uncle Carlton" (1994)

    I can't think of what to write about Wings because watching the show is such a vague experience. Here's some stuff in this Booyah: Ace Ventura, GUNT, Toyota War, Joe's one bald nut, 9/11 Youtube, Modern Family, grapes killing Rob's dog, Adderall, Gilbert Gottfried, killer bees, nachos.

  • Roseanne - "Crime and Punishment" & "War and Peace"

    It doesn't get any better than Roseanne firing on all naturalistic, hilarious, brilliantly performed cylinders. So we talk about it. We got stuff on how great it is to have schoolwork to do with cute people you wouldn't be able to talk to otherwise. There's something of a deep dive into what makes the Roseanne intro so good. Pizza. Plus some love for Booyah favorite Laurie Metcalf and some discussion of how Rob is drawn to public figures who both push the envelope in their work and then do bad stuff that gets them "cancelled."

  • Futurama - "Hell is Other Robots" (1999)

    Rob looks at his pecs in car windows. Coca Cola and breast implants are the same thing. Life is just watching the Dream Team dunk on little countries that don't exist anymore. Once upon a 1990-something, Rob slow-danced to Ricky Martin with a girl who probably would've been down to do some naughty stuff if only Rob wasn't busy being himself. What else? Ed Hardy. The Beastie Boys. Bender. The Simpsons. Fun. Listen!

  • The Iron Giant (1999)

    Joe’s old buddy James thought we should talk about The Iron Giant. He was right. It’s a pretty rewarding movie and gave us a chance to talk about publicly funded private wealth, adoption, Rob’s dad grumping at cartoons, the havoc narrative can play on the American mind, and what makes some art good.

    1 hr 21 min
  • Jeopardy!

    Alex Trebek trained thousands of pit bulls to teach orphan human babies how to live happy lives. You know...maybe. He could have. Joe's mom loves nun humor. The way Rob says punt makes Joe feel gross. Rebecca is so good at trivia that one time she stayed at a Red Roof Inn. Rob could've been a world-renowned quiz show question writer. If you're an Alex Trebek groupie, prepare to be alienated.

  • Everybody Loves Raymond - "The Ride Along" (1998)

    We loved Raymond because he made us think about how much we hate our families. Tara Lipinski and Michelle Kwan were on Wheaties boxes probably for weird reasons. What were the aughts, anyways? Imagine Tom Selleck's hands. Your brain is like half TV shows. Being boring is a sin in America and it's also the way you probably ought to try to live.

  • Smallville, "Leech" (2002)

    Upon listener request, we're talking high school boy Clark Kent and the beautifully bald older man who likes to be near him.

    After a bit of a detailed look at Rob's 2002 life, the boys note that Slobodan Milošević was, in fact, a person who did war crime type things, then it's all weird UPN/WB/CW television talk. How did Rob watch so many hours of Gilmore Girls if he hates it so much? What's with all these shows feeling the same? Is Smallville like Buffy with worse effects, dialogue, and storytelling? Does Snickers care if the crazy spiraling camerawork nauseates Joe? 

    Also, briefly, a sex cult.

  • Cheers - Suspicion (1986)

    Weird Russian accents and the merits of email sign-offs. Sharks and the ocean and spying on people. At weddings Joe feels weird and Rob wants to produce a TV episode about it. Rob was born literate and now he's got a complex. Enchilada pie. Miss Liz. Oh my God Rob's mom was so tired. She loved Cheers. Some people pour alcohol up their poopers. Turd tears. Woody Harrelson makes things better. Ted Dancin' is hot to Joe but not Rob because Rob only wants to bang the guys his mom wants to bang. Nobody is more special than Rob. Tobias Wolff. Sam and Diane won'ting. Rhea Perlman. Jack Kerouac. William F. Buckley. The Three Stooges. Alcohol. Flips. Here's a way you can feel less alone while you're alone. Norm looks like Rob's dad. Jenna loves poop.

We watch old stuff and talk about how it makes us feel. Part personal reflection. Part cultural commentary. Some analysis. A lot of profanity. Sometimes smart. Often funny. Always friends sharing what…
