Millennial: Pretend Adulting, Real Talk

Witnessing Once in a Lifetime Experiences, Nickelodeon and 'Quiet on Set'

Listen Later
  • Welcome to #Millennial, the show whose name can't be spelled without three massive L's!
  • It may have been a total eclipse of the heart in the path of totality, but Laura was underwhelmed by what 85% coverage during the solar eclipse looked like in Atlanta.
  • Would you spend $949 to stay in a Super 8 motel to watch a major event like the eclipse?
  • The moon ain't done slaying yet: the lunar queen is set to get her own timezone!
  • We look at other examples of rare-ish events, and bucket list destinations and adventures!

  • What was it like to watch this as Nickelodeon kids ourselves? Does this completely taint our memories of the channel?

    • And in this week's installment of After Dark, available on Patreon and Apple Podcasts:

    • It's AMA time! We take our Patrons' burning questions about the BTS life of podcasting.
    • Do we ever worry about someone we've talked shit on finding their way behind the paywall?
    • Why have Andrew and Laura been saying no to a certain annual event?
    • Some never before revealed MuggleSuck tea...
