  • 32: Shopping Then. Shopping Now

    We discuss shopping back when we were children and teens (Some of you listeners are children or teens now probably or from the BabyBoom.  Welcome!) as opposed to shopping in the modern world.  

    We open up with this Tweet from Felicity @FlossAus: “I feel sorry for Netflix era kids. They will never know the high stakes adrenaline of running to the bathroom/fridge/ bedroom in a single ad break, with the beckoning call of a sibling screaming “i’s ONNNNNN” to send you hurdling over furniture to get back in time.”

    Opening Banter

    • Kenny's thoughts on Star Wars Visions
    • Kenny visits WDW Resort.  Again!
    • Do you wash your hands after using the bathroom? We talk a bit about that.
    • Justin enjoyed some fried chicken at Disneyland (Plaza Inn). Here’s a video regarding their chicken. Yum!
    • And more!

      • The meat of the episode

      • Shopping malls
      • Amazon.com and other online retailers
      • Food Delivery sites
      • Apple and other companies evading 'right to repair'.  Marquez Brown Lee explains this concept here.  
      • We would love to hear your comments about shopping today or back then.  Anything.  Do you love it?  Is it that big a deal to you or not?  What are your favorite aspects to then vs now?  Drop a line at Facebook.com/genxreverb and thanks for listening!

      • 31: Gen-X Remembers Star Trek
        A little Jean-Luc.  Some Benny Sisko and Janeway.  New Trek.  Old Trek.  Just Trek banter.  Oh, and we call fans 'Trekies' instead of the newly accepted moniker, 'Trekers'.  Our bad.

      • 30: 2022 Super Mario Movie Casting Mistakes?
        The 4 cousins have fun discussing not only the original ‘dumpster fire’ of a film The Super Mario Brothers Movie but also discussed the good and not so good of Universal Studio’s upcoming 2022 animated film featuring your beloved brick crushing plumbers.

      • 28: Food Again

        We were gearing up to talk about a completely different subject and all of a sudden, food became the topic.  Enjoy!

      • 24: Super Bowls Halftime Show! Part 1

        Lost episode! Quick note: We've had a few conversations with fans that comment on how long the episodes are, so instead of releasing this chat as one episode, we've broken it up into two for your listing delight.  It's 56 days until NFL Kick off in 2021 and nothing will get you more excited than talking about... Super Bowl Halftime Shows.  Jump in as we discuss halftime shows from the last couple of decades. We take a lot of shots at probably some of the biggest performers in our modern era. But that doesn't matter to Gen-X Reverb! Thanks for listening. Michael Jackson's Halftime Show: https://youtu.be/nBkNQZ-6QHg Old man talk. Justin was dealing with sciatica issues which is how this episode was lost. What is sciatica you ask? https://youtu.be/gIROb3FuWYc We discuss 808 beats: https://youtu.be/vI0YDO7KYAk Gregory Hines. The King of Tap: https://youtu.be/VbxI3K8GnpU We talk old school phones and their terrible designs: https://www.lg.com/us/cell-phones/lg-AX260-Lavender-lavender-scoop# Bruce Springsteen is overrated right? That's the official Gen-X Reverb stance

      This version is much better. I’d keep the tone and only fix the actual wording/grammar problems:
