Less Than 2000

Nirvana.  Sound Garden.  Pearl Jam.  Alice in Chains.  These were the thrashing and mopey bands that spoke directly to the disenchanted youth of the early 90’s.  (Almost as much as the flannel and combat boots! ) 

Actor, podcaster, and college professor Joel Egger drops some knowledge about the origins and evolution of the distinctive Seattle sound, and then takes such a deep dive into Pearl Jam that you’ll want to bring your scuba gear.

There can be no disputing that Eddie Murphy is insanely talented.  From his characters and impressions to his beautiful singing voice and filthy vocabulary, Eddie Murphy was THE man in the 1980’s. But how does his standup comedy play in 2021?  Is it more offensive than it is funny when viewed through the modern lens?  Does it deserve a pass, or does he owe a mea culpa to certain groups?  Most importantly, is it still as funny now as we thought it was in the ‘80s?!

With teen mega stars like Sarah Michelle Gellar, Ryan Phillippe and Reese Witherspoon, Cruel Intentions was a massive hit in 1999.  In fact, it was one of the best films of the 90’s! (Or was it one of the worst movies of all time?)  Guess what Adam and Chad think, then hit play to find out!

The boys class things up by having the inventor of Pictionary on the show to discuss the legendary game released in 1985.  Rob Angel gives a “sketch” of his new book, Game Changer, about how a simple idea loaded with tons of dedication, hard work and integrity produced the world’s best-selling board game… and gives Adam some well-deserved crap!

Let Adam and Chad take you to your happy place. A world of fluffy telepathic pets who will do anything to get back home to their family. The best part of this genuinely heartwarming film is that no animals were harmed. And somehow the boys work David Lynch into their discussion about this family friendly Disney movie.

Back in the 80s you couldn’t just have plain old basketball shoes… your shoes had to have an air bubble or pump action!  Oh, to be one of the lucky kids whose parent bought them Air Jordans or Pumps.  The boys reminisce about the shoes that allowed an entire generation to dunk… or at least think they could!

If Michael Jordan is the G.O.A.T., what would a team with MJ, Magic Johnson, Larry Bird, Charles Barkley, Patrick Ewing, Karl Malone, and countless other Hall of Famers be?  Olympic gold medalists and the greatest sports team ever assembled, that’s what!

Why was Isaiah Thomas left off the team? (Spoiler: #23) Did Barkley behave like a “rude American” in Barcelona? (Spoiler: He did). Does any other Olympic basketball team come close to the ’92 squad? (Spoiler: not even close).

Everclear is just one of those bands that screams mid to late 90s.  All the bleached blond hair and quirky ironic lyrics! Were songs like “Father of Mine,” “Everything to Everyone,” and “I Will Buy You a New Life” good, bad, or just kind of average? 

Chad talks about listening to “Santa Monica” while getting ready for parties that his parents had to drive him to, and Adam starts out by hating on the band but finds a certain amount of respect for front man Art Alexakis by the end.
