This week, we're throwing it all the way back to the movies that defined our childhoods. From A Cinderella Story (yes, we’re still obsessed with that bedazzled flip phone and iconic backyard dress reveal) to the chaotic fun of Sleepover and the sharp wit of Easy A, we’re reliving the films that shaped our sense of humor, style, and teen angst. We also sprinkle in a few nostalgic nods to TV staples like SpongeBob and Regular Show, plus some quick catch-ups on the childhood celebs we couldn't stop watching. It’s a love letter to the early 2000s pop culture that made us who we are!Have a story or a topic you’d love us to chat about on the pod?
