VH1 had more than a few shows that defined a generation.  Behind the Music, Surreal Life, Pop up Videos and the infamous top 20 countdowns. Who did it better MTV or VH1?  Press play to listen to our take on this debate.  Lets just say its a hard decision.  VH1 was a nice balance between Music and Reality TV.  They knew their audience and didn't sway from what the people wanted.  Join us as we go back in time and reminisce about one of our favorite channels.

In the early 1990s, the case of Brandon Teena captivated the nation and brought attention to the complex issues surrounding gender identity, discrimination, and violence against transgender individuals. Born biologically female, Brandon lived his life as a man, presenting himself as male and seeking acceptance in a small Nebraska community. Brandon's story took a tragic turn when his assigned sex at birth was revealed to those around him, leading to a chain of events that ultimately ended in his murder. Brandon's story stands as a stark reminder of the struggles faced by transgender individuals in their quest for acceptance and equality. It continues to serve as a rallying cry for justice and an urgent call to society to foster a more inclusive and understanding environment for all.

Trigger warnings for: violence, hate crimes, discrimination, sexual assault and murder of a transgender individual.

On today’s episode we discuss the shocking case of Diane Zamora and David Graham aka the Killer Cadets. In the early 1990s, their seemingly perfect high school romance took a very sinister and evil turn, leaving an entire community stunned and shattered.

Join us as we unravel the twisted web of deceit, jealousy, and obsession that led these star-crossed lovers down the path of murder. Diane, a promising cadet at the United States Naval Academy, and David, an ambitious student with dreams of military glory, became entangled in a fateful love triangle that would have tragic consequences for all parties involved. 

You will definitely feel a wave of emotions (mostly a lot of anger and WTF) as we uncover the chilling events leading up to the crime, the heinous crime itself, and the trial that gripped the nation. You will be left questioning the nature of love, loyalty, and the depths of human depravity.

Trigger Warnings for: murder, violence, graphic description of injuries, and victim-blaming.

The 90's had many trends... but one trend we can't understand, was the obsession with being thin.  Not just healthy thin but scary thin.  The idea of your collarbone and hip bone protruding were highly sought after back in the day.  When you think of the 90's what model comes to mind?  Does Kate Moss ring a bell?  She along with many other models were at the height of their career at that time, but they were not only known for their good looks.  Their thin frame is what got them on the cover of magazines.  On this episode we compare beauty standards, procedures and fixations society and culture had on thinness and beauty.  We also explore the comparison now and the rumor that skinniness is trying to make a come back.

If you were a 90's baby you would know Rom Coms were a staple of our generation.  All girls coming of age could relate to the emotion, sappiness, hilarity and dreaminess that romantic comedies evoked in us all.  In our past episodes we have talked about movies that defined us.  But rom coms were in a league of their own and were movies that most of us had on repeat depending on which ones were our favs.  We definitely went off on a tangent with this one so a part two is in order... come with us down memory lane.
