‘My So-Called Life’ and Its Impact on Pop Culture 30 Years Later


Listen Later

Joanna Robinson is joined by author and podcaster Kristin Russo to revisit the cult classic ‘My So-Called Life’ and celebrate the 30th anniversary of its premiere. They discuss why the 1994 teen drama still means so much to them all these years later, its impact on the television landscape during its initial run, and how it inspired (and was inspired by) fashion trends of the era (1:43). Along the way, they talk through how the ABC show broke ground with some of its character archetypes and casted future pop culture stars (19:26). Later, they unpack its influence on today’s array of teen shows (44:16).
