Gen X didn’t grow up on life lessons…
 we grew up on movies that quietly showed us the truth.

In this episode of The Mighty Philbert, we kick off a new series exploring the movies that shaped Gen X—not just the ones we loved, but the ones that taught us something… whether we were ready or not.

From Fast Times at Ridgemont High showing us adulthood starts early…
 to Stand by Me reminding us childhood doesn’t last…
 to E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial quietly teaching us not to trust the system…

These weren’t just movies.

They were survival guides.
