June 07, 2018 Solo, Atari VCS, & Dude Stop!
Jon and Mo are forced to admit that George won our Spring movie blockbuster wager (and of course George was the picture of grace and dignity about it). On top of that, Mo talks about Solo, Jon recommends a game whose purpose is to sometimes do the wrong thing, and George thinks back on the Rubik's Cube. All this and more!

May 31, 2018 Fads of Generation X
We've all experienced fads as part of growing up. The Baby Boomers had things like the poodle skirts, the hula hoop, and the yo-yo and GenX had things like Swatches, Rubik's Cube and Tickle me Elmo! We do our best to cover this vast topic on the fads we most remember growing up in the 70's, 80's and 90's. So whip out the boom box and some cardboard and let's break dance!

May 17, 2018 GenX Photography
Imagine a time when you didn't know if your pictures came out for days or weeks after you took them. Imagine only being able to take a limited number of pictures at one time before having to change film. Imagine having to store your pictures in huge binders in order to see them. If that sounds like photo hell to you then you are obviously not a GenX'er! It was the way pictures were done when we were growing up. Listen as we reminisce (and lament!) over what we had to go through in order to capture that perf

May 10, 2018 Infinity War, Cobra Kai, & Zoom H1n
WARNING! We hold a spoiler-rich discussion of Infinity War in this episode, so when you hear us give you the heads-up, skip ahead from 12 min 30 sec to 20 min 53 sec to skip that part of the conversation. If you do skip this part, don't forget to come back and listen to it after you've seen the film!

We have to talk about Infinity War of course, but also in this episode; George talks about Cobra Kai, Jon give his opinion of the new season of WestWorld (which George does not agree with) and

May 03, 2018 GenX Era Comedians (feat. Kevin Gootee)
Pretty much everybody knows who Ellen is, along with Roseanne, Jerry Seinfeld, Robin Williams, and Eddie Murphy. But did you know they all got their start back in the 70's and 80's? We talk about them and other comedians that we remember, plus we have special guest, Kevin Gootee (https://kevingootee.com) writer and star of "Comics Watching Comics" on Amazon Video to provide his.... unique?... viewpoint and opinions (and trust me, he has a lot of them!)

April 19, 2018 GenX Horror Franchises
Horror movies really came into their own when we were growing up in the 70s and 80s. Many of these movies have become the standard and sparked a huge number of sequels. In this episode, we talk about some of the movies that scared the crap out of us when we were kids and why we liked them!

We were still working out the kinks of our new audio system so please bear with us and we will be up to our usual high standards soon!

April 12, 2018 Ready Player One, Zencastr, & Far Cry 5
We are trying a new technology for recording our podcasts for this episode so please forgive us for any quality changes you might hear! We're obsessive about quality so be assured that we are already on the path to return to the standard of quality you know and love!

But in this episode, George gets some new lights, Mo looks forward to yet another game-based movie, and Jon looks for an opportunity to use his new toy! Plus, with the release of Ready Player One, keep up with how we are doing with

April 05, 2018 Walkman & Discman
There's probably not a GenX'er out there who wasn't somehow impacted by the introduction of the Sony Walkman. The ability to carry the music you want to hear and listen to it wherever you go was seen as nothing short of a miracle in technology. In this episode, we talk about the Walkman's history and our personal experiences with this life changing piece of tech.
