Booyah 90s Now

Old ladies are rad. There should be a show about them. The show should be bejeweled and golden. It should lean forward. It should explore stories that tv shows don’t often explore. The characters should be regal, horny, ditzy, ignorant, wise, and blunt. Every sitcom doesn’t have to be plastic and predictable, dang it. Some can be wrinkled and original.

Listen to us talk about that great idea someone had, among other things, including Sam Harris, douchebags, Cindy Lauper, rich kids, white privilege, Bea Arthur, dead words, and architecture.

Booyah is a Synopsish show. Here’s the thing I say about that: Hi, I’m Rob. With my friends and family, I celebrate pop culture, creativity, and possibility in podcasts and blog posts at synopsish.com. We have things about movies, sports, TV, trivia, music, and so on. Hope you’ll take a look. That’s also where you can contact us to suggest a show or tell a story about your life in the 90s.

Thanks for listening. Take care.

David Foster Wallace was a stalker who wrote an essay about US fiction and television. Rob and Joe interrogate their relationships with this infamous writer and with literary fiction. They try to make sense of themselves as entertainment consumers and creative people. Rob unflinchingly talks about how once upon a 2013 writing took him down a rabbit hole of despair. It's really great. This conversation is earnest and sad and eventually hopeful. I, Joe, can't really do it justice in this description. That's why you should listen.

It's 1986. Iran Contra's hitting the fan. AIDS is the next big thing. C Thomas Howell is donning blackface because America. Joe's about to be born. Robert's running for his mommy. Alan Thicke is a good name. Robert's pretty big into scrolling. So is Joe. It's horrible to scroll. Quit scrolling. Listen to us talk about Growing Pains because it's beautiful. We talk about how you are special and a polar bear eats an elephant.

Parker Lewis Can't Lose is Rob's dream show. Joe's never heard of it. Rob thinks you should leave your family and join a monastery if that's what's best for you. Joe wants inner peace. Rob tells him about meditation. Joe's been planning to try meditation for years now. Maybe he'll finally get around to it. Maybe you will too. Maybe we'll all meet each other at a monastery and tell stories about 90s TV shows and the families we abandoned.

Joe used to live with Jeffrey Dahmer's ghost. Ace of Base made that song you definitely know. It's odd for a person to choose to be a Nazi. My Girl 2 ruined Rob's life. Joe found 7 full beer bottles buried in his chicken run. Some cops found 32 bodies buried under a clown's garage. There are people chained up in basements right now. Thank you, truckers, for keeping America going and murdering three people each. In 1999 Rob feared death and got a haircut and wrote mysteriously about how Jeffrey Dahmer could've led a more productive life if only he hadn't wasted so much precious time killing all those guys. Rob might not have empathy but he sure behaves like he does. Free will is not real. Choose to click play. Thanks.

Part one of our Halloween 2019 celebration has us haunting the universe of Scream, the best thing Kevin Williamson ever wrote (I'll say without double-checking his IMDB page), the first installment of the best movie franchise...of all time? Ghostface or Godfather? Well, I've seen one of them & it's tons of fun. Listen in.

Will Joe & Rob make a Garth Brooks connection? Do you suppose Britney Spears owns a Vegas room even though she's "famously talentless"? And is Britney okay? Was Bukowski right? Why did Jenna like this movie so much? Wait a minute...are Jennifer Jason Leigh and Bridget Fonda long lost twin sisters in this movie? Wait a minute...is Single White Female really good? What happens when Joe lives alone for a while? What's wrong with Golden Retrievers? Why did Bridget Fonda stop making 90s movies that Rob's always liked?

Some guy gets married 30 times, dies, and then nobody claims his body. George Clooney's GOAT film Batman and Robin hits theaters. Old people are riddled with STDs, Joe hopes. Melissa Joan Hart and Hansen and Puffy Daddy exist. Robert's friend Mike stiffs Robert like a capitalist pig and then fornicates with the Robert's ex. Robert lives in a trailer and pees all over the ground and poops in the big main house. Tom Cruise never eats a donut. Julia Roberts has that special smile. Cameron Diaz sucks at karaoke. Durmott McDumbDumb portrays the most boring jerk you've ever met. My Best Friends wedding is the whitest movie ever. Joe's dad is a uniquely creative dude. Hey, are you still reading this? If so, quit it. Click play already, you silly goose.

Back in 1990s Texas, young Robert loved him some Beautiful Girls. He watched it over and over again with his buddy Mike & then they drove around delivering bouncy houses and singing along to the soundtrack & then they watched it over and over again some more, saying lines with all the overly pretty, awkwardly pseudo-articulate characters played by Timothy Hutton, Natalie Portman, Michael Rapaport, Rosie O'Donnell, Matt Dylan, Uma Thurman, and a bunch of other really 90s looking actors I'm currently forgetting. This episode of Booyah is bottled promise. Scenes from a brand new day. Hope dancing in retro Jordans.
