  • Episode 5: Welcome to Being Dead - When We Were Young podcast

    Hey, kids! Do you like cartoon mice? Catchy songs? And lots and lots of death? If your answer to these questions is "yep, yep, yep!," then have we got the podcast for you! In Episode 5, When We Were Young revisits our childhoods through the filmography of Don Bluth, a former Disney animator gone rogue whose lifelong rivalry with the Mouse House makes for one fascinating tale.



    So let's reminisce about the forgotten link between VHS tapes and fast food, ponder why so many kiddie flicks revolve around being violently orphaned, and see how old faves like The Secret Of NIMH, An American Tail, Land Before Time, All Dogs Go To Heaven, and Anastasia hold up against Disney's 80s and 90s offerings. (Hint: the Bluth films have much more poverty and murder.)



    When We Were Young is a podcast devoted to the most beloved pop culture of our formative years (roughly 1980-2000). Join us for a look back to the past with a critical eye on how these movies, songs, shows, and more hold up now.

  • 4: “Not That There’s Anything Wrong With That” – Seinfeld
    "Seinfeld" is the most successful and arguably the most beloved sitcom of all time. But how do the antics of TV’s favorite self-absorbed foursome hold up today?
    In this episode of WHEN WE WERE YOUNG, we take a look back at the 90's hit series to see how it holds up nearly two decades after its polarizing finale. Are the show’s views on sexuality, gender and race antiquated, or was it ahead of its time? And most importantly, is "Seinfeld" still funny? Grab your Junior Mints and throw on your puffy shirt, because we’ve got a whole lot to say about the "show about nothing!"

  • 2: “A Serious Cackling” – The Blair Witch Project
    In October of 1994, three podcasters disappeared in the woods near Burkittsville, Maryland. Police were baffled by the podcasters' vanishing... mostly because podcasting had not been invented yet. A year later the MiniDisc player they recorded to was discovered. 21 more years later, that recording is released here.
    Just in time for Halloween (and yet another sequel), WHEN WE WERE YOUNG's second episode tackles 1999's unlikely horror hit THE BLAIR WITCH PROJECT. Is the ultra-low-budget thriller still as groundbreaking as it was in the pre-smartphone era, or does it deserve to be banished to the woods? Kick your map in the creek, apologize to everyone's moms, and follow us on this audible journey... because Becky totally knows where we're going! Right, Becky? ...Becky?
