When We Were Young - an 80s and 90s pop culture podcast

Is that an earthquake? In honor of the 20th anniversary of their 10 year reunion, we join the Madonna twins and a big giant girl who smokes and says "shit" a lot to revisit 1987 and 1997 in ROMY & MICHELE'S HIGH SCHOOL REUNION. Watch out, Tucson!

Chris and Seth have a special place in their hearts for this teen comedy made specifically for the C-Group (and anyone else who ever had their hamburger stolen by a deludanoid), and mutually agree that this is the cutest the When We Were Young podcast has ever looked. Meanwhile, Becky (the obvious Rhoda of this episode) comes to the scarf-folding fun with a fresher perspective to examine how this cherished cult hit holds up against today's comedic standards. The WWWY gang is also joined by special guest Chelsea, inventor of Post-Its, to discuss her fancy-schmancy formula for glue.

Grab your flip phone and your huge notebook, because When We Were Young is due in Tucson later (for a business thing), and we're not stopping until our shoes are overflowing with blood. If you hate throwing up in public, you've come to the right podcast!

Robert Zemeckis' WHO FRAMED ROGER RABBIT (1988) effortlessly blended live action and animation in a cinematic experience never seen before (and rarely since). It was also a colossal hit for Touchstone Pictures (aka the Mouse House, Disney!) and managed to delight children, adults, classic cartoon fans and noir thriller aficionados -- no small feat!

Your beloved WHEN WE WERE YOUNG podcast hosts originally saw this live action-animated-comedy-mystery hybrid blockbuster as little kids; now that we're old enough to have a complicated appreciation of Jessica Rabbit's heaving bosom, we decided to head back into Toontown to see if the groundbreaking flick still holds up today.

Heya, Barbie! Wanna go for a ride? How about all the way back to 1998, when boy bands were just starting to be a “thing” (again), we listened to music on compact discs, and the blonde brothers Hanson seemed like they might have long-lasting relevance in the pop music sphere? (Okay, that last part was never true.)

In our latest episode, When We Were Young revisits NOW THAT’S WHAT I CALL MUSIC VOL. 1, along with other compilation CDs you could order over the phone (what?!), like the ready-to-rumble JOCK JAMS and the whale-saving, orca-flowing PURE MOODS. We listen to acts ranging from the poppiest of pop (Spice Girls and Backstreet Boys) to moody alternative acts (Everclear and Fastball), seeing how they’ve held up over the past couple decades. ('Cause that's what you get when you mess with us.) Yes, we even pause to throw back a bottle of beer and debate what the hell was up with the 90s revitalization of swing spearheaded by the Cherry Poppin’ Daddies’ “Zoot Suit Riot.”

So don’t “Fly Away” — please “Say You’ll Be There” as we get “Together Again” with the musical masterpieces and misfires of the late 1990s — and some surprisingly dark origin stories. Let’s go party!

In every generation, there is a Chosen One. She alone will stand against the vampires, the demons, and the podcasts. She is the slayer. In When We Were Young's 12th episode, Chris shares his teenage infatuation with Buffy The Vampire Slayer. (The TV show, not the movie. Obviously.) He also brings WWWY's very first guest host, Kevin Murray, Buffy fan extraordinaire, to help him slay the apocalyptic criticisms rising from Seth and Becky's Hellmouths.

We know Joss Whedon fans still love Buffy, but how does it hold up for newbies to the Scooby gang? We look at episodes from each of the first five seasons, including standout classics like "Hush" and "The Body" and the phenomenal musical "Once More, With Feeling," to see what made the series such a groundbreaking cult hit. Grab your crossbow, get your vamp face on, and be prepared to die a couple of times, because we're off to Sunnydale!

In the latest episode of WHEN WE WERE YOUNG, we discuss what made us laugh the most growing up. If you thought THE BRADY BUNCH MOVIE (1995) and A VERY BRADY SEQUEL (1996) were the funniest (and most quotable) movies ever made, you're in good company!

Twenty years later, do either of these satirical TV adaptations stand the test of time and still make us laugh? Or are they as stale and unfunny as the TV show they're based on? Throw on your Sunday best, kids, we're talking the Brady movies!

Why are you so petrified of silence? See if you can handle this as the When We Were Young podcast revisits Alanis Morissette's 1995 monolithic album JAGGED LITTLE PILL. One of the best-selling albums of all time, and with about half its songs chart-topping singles, this album is and has always been pigeonholed as "angry chick rock."

Join our hosts as we contemplate our musical outlets for anger, discuss our personal histories with Jagged Little Pill and Alanis while revisiting each song, and end the show with a cover of one of the hosts' favorite deep album cuts.
