The Untitled GenX Podcast

Break out the parodies, polka, and puns! Pat stops by ON REPEAT to celebrate the man Kurt Cobain once called “America’s modern pop-rock genius". Yes kids, we happily fall down the rabbit hole of the one and only “Weird Al” Yankovic.

From his awkward beginnings and real-life Napoleon Dynamite moment to his everlasting appeal, Lori and Pat wax poetic about the genius of Weird Al and the welcome space he's created for the weird, wacky, and wonderful in all of us.

Destiny arrives ON REPEAT as Lori welcomes your newest muse Hillary Murphy to break down the magic and mythology of 1980’s cult classic musical fantasy Xanadu!

From those magical unsupervised nights at the roller rink to tube tops, dolphin shorts, and ribbon barrettes, Lori and Hillary remember it all. They also have a lot to say about Sonny getting all the credit, Kira's tireless sacrifice, and Danny's "creative birth" in this big, sometimes animated, always WTF kitchen sink musical mess that we all know and live for.

Get to know Hillary Murphy:

PAT IS BACK! Join Lori and Pat ON REPEAT as they fall in love all over again with one of the most romantic films of our generation, 1989’s Say Anything, starring John Cusack and Ione Skye.

From men who are best friends with women, coming of age moments in cars, and Lloyd Dobler as a warrior for optimism, to wanting to get hurt, friends with potential, and pens as parting gifts, they raise their boombox in high praise of Cameron Crowe's directorial debut.

In this very special ON REPEAT episode, Lori's thrilled to welcome award-winning dark and speculative fiction author Eric J. Guignard to discuss the film that proves there’s nothing sexier than the clandestine allure of immortality. Yes, you sexy beasts, we're talking 1987’s horror classic, The Lost Boys.

We debate who the real "bad guys" were and ponder Michael's poor choices, Sam's love of Rob Lowe, and get up close and personal with Grandpa's dark side. We also chat death by stereo, the true spirit of indie press, horror fiction culture, sexy sax music, and of course, dinosaur porn.

Cate and Lori focus their attention ON REPEAT as they tackle one very special and SUPER SERIOUS single from Guns N’ Roses’ third studio album, 1991’s Use Your Illusion I.  The gals get emotionally reinvested in GNR’s music video for “November Rain” that premiered in June of ‘92.

The besties chat church kisses (hold the tongue, people), nicotine habits, cyborg brides, the vampire Lestat, and of course, Donald Trump.

Everyone has a story. He gets them to tell it. Lori's delighted to welcome broadcast veteran Aron Bender to do a little east coast swing as they sing the praises of Boyz II Men’s 1991 breakout album, Cooleyhighharmony ON REPEAT!

Laugh along with these high school buddies as they chat "sexy sex songs," divo behavior, Aron's B2M-adjacent boy band days (and epic Michael McCary impression), and the "cool kid club" they created as nerdy freshman. Later, cry along with these two old friends as they discuss the importance of normalizing male emotion, the pain of losing everything, and the bittersweet journey to learn about life and love in the process.

Calling all brains, athletes, basket cases, princesses, and criminals! Kenny Stach — the coolest high school upperclassmen the world has ever known — joins me ON REPEAT in detention to discuss one of the absolute greatest high school films of all time, 1985’s The Breakfast Club.

From the teenage preoccupation with virginity, badass makeovers, and landing ourselves in detention, to olive loaf sandwiches, underage drinking (with rock star's sisters), and messing with the bull, Lori and Kenny break down the high highs and lowest lows of the complete high school experience.

Get to know Kenny Stach:

Kenny is a former '90s actor you might remember from such films as The Silent Force and The Wounded, along with some PBS guest spots. He’s also an incredibly talented songwriter and musician, devoted husband and father, and effortlessly cool guy.
