The Untitled GenX Podcast

Cate and Lori are back ON REPEAT singing the praises of singer, songwriter, actress, feminist, activist, and all-around queen, Cyndi Lauper and her breakout 1983 debut album, She’s So Unusual. The gals dance deep into the album’s bops, ballads, and sometimes unusual music videos.

In true Cyndi form, things get a little colorful as the ladies talk about their suburban childhood, middle school cafeteria lunches, phone rules, crazy nights past 8 PM, and that very real single teardrop pain of running away from love.

The gals take you back to Cate's very first music video, a-ha’s 1985 synth-pop tour-de-force single, "Take On Me" from their debut album Hunting High and Low. They draw deep into the progressive single, innovative music video, and long-time legacy of this beloved and often-covered ‘80s classic.

The ladies also talk dining and dashing, cartoon crushes, getting sweaty and sexy, and trying again until you get it right.

Cate and Lori TOTALLY FREAK OUT ON REPEAT over 1982’s endearing and oddly unsettling made-for-TV movie, The Electric Grandmother, starring Maureen Stapleton and Edward Herrmann.

And if you're like, "Never heard of it," you're in for a big surprise as the ladies recount the nightmare nostalgia associated with this super-messed-up-how-is-this-made-for-kids-TV-movie-about-weird-robot-grannies that still has Lori calling out for her mommy.

GREETINGS AND SALUTATIONS ON REPEAT! Cate and Lori decided to kill a bottle of wine and dish on 1989’s cult classic Heathers starring Winona Ryder, Christian Slater, and Shannen Doherty.

It’s no secret this film is "so very" with its dark humor and colorful characters (#teammartha), so the good time gals invite you to join their clique as they get into the red scrunchie of it all. But first, what's your damage, Heather?

Happy 2023, beautiful people! If it hasn’t been your day, your week, your month, or even your last two years, join Cate and Lori as they revisit season 5, episode 11 of Friends, "The One with All the Resolutions" ON REPEAT!

(Yes, this podcast episode originally aired December 2020. And yes, they still think it's a fun listen.)

And because besties tell each other everything, they gossip about sex at midnight, swamp ass, leather while pregnant, farting on a first date, and offer their heartfelt message of love to you in the new year. Cheers!

Welcome to the ON REPEAT party, pals. Today Cate and Lori tackle the iconic Christmas (?) blockbuster, Die Hard. They invite you to “come out the coast, we’ll get together, have a few laughs…” as they dive deep into the elevator shaft of the film’s titillating trivia, it’s place in the great Christmas film debate, and its die hard fan base ... all while getting sloshed on spiked eggnog.

And oh yeah, they chat maiden names, crippling telephone shyness, wild Christmas parties, and "Huey Lewis's" surprise cameo in the film. Yippee ki yay, melon farmers.

Lori's very merry to welcome her new best friend, podcaster Big Brother Jake ON REPEAT to chat all about the song Mariah Carey calls among her greatest achievements. Yes, little lambs, we’re talking about Mariah’s 1994 immortal holiday classic “All I Want for Christmas is You”.

From Mariah being so much more than "the Christmas song lady" to wholesome pole dancing, best ever gifts, and Mariah's elusive "you," Lori and Big Brother Jake speculate and pontificate on the modern, inescapable earworm that found its way into the classic holiday cannon against all odds. Come for Mariah's waves and kisses, stay for the dogs in sweaters.

Get to know Big Brother Jake:

Jake Warner (his government name) is a Navy veteran and a radio veteran. He’s a SoCal native who works as an on-site Engineer and Producer for the Los Angeles Clippers and the Los Angeles Kings Radio Broadcasts.

This Christmas, Cate and Lori are giving their hearts ON REPEAT to someone special (psst! YOU) as they revisit Wham’s chart-topping, toe-tapping hits “Last Christmas” and “Everything She Wants”.

Released as a double A-side in December 1984, the gals dive deep into the dramatic music videos, heartbreaking lyrics, and too-good trivia that make both songs karaoke favorites to this day. They also chat about the awkwardness of hanging out with an ex, the risk of breaking hip while sledding, and the pure cinematic value of strategically placed bed sheets, ah-ha ah, ah-ha ah, doo doo doo, la, la, la, la, la.
