Zillennial Meets World episodes

  • Name that Game | Box Tops

    On this week’s episode of Zillennial Meets World, Becca puts Taylor and Jordan against each other in a Jeopardy-style game where she reads descriptions of classic childhood board games, and they race to see who can identify them the fastest.

    Then we cut into our main topic: Box Tops. We take a trip down memory lane and revisit the classic General Mills Box Tops that seemed to be on every cereal box growing up. We discuss our memories of collecting them for school, do some math to figure out how much they were actually worth, and debate whether the program was a great way to support schools or just a "brilliant" marketing strategy by General Mills.

    If you remember the thrill of finding a double Box Top on your favorite cereal box, you'll love this episode.

  • Lilo & Stitch | Live-Action Remake Debate

    On this week’s episode of Zillennial Meets World, we kick things off with a ranking game where we debate which fictional places from our favorite childhood shows would be the best—and worst—places to live. Some of our picks are obvious, while others spark a surprising amount of debate.

    Then we switch gears and dive into the live-action remake craze that seems to be taking over Hollywood. Are we fans of these reboots, or do we wish studios would leave our childhood classics alone? We use the new Lilo & Stitch live-action remake as our main case study, breaking down some of the controversy surrounding the film, discussing what we loved, and sharing whether we think Disney got this remake right.

    If you grew up wanting your own alien best friend and believed "ohana means family," this episode is for you.

  • Name the Celebrity | Black Eyed Peas

    On this week’s episode of Zillennial Meets World, Becca kicks things off by putting Jordan and Taylor to the test with a celebrity name game. She reads the government names of well-known artists, and they have to guess which celebrities they belong to. Some are easier than others... and some leave them completely stumped.

    Then we pump it up with our Y2K topic of the day: The Black Eyed Peas. From My Humps, I Gotta Feeling, and Boom Boom Pow, we revisit some of the group's biggest hits while exploring how they transformed into one of the defining acts of the 2000s. We also debate whether they "sold out" on their way to mainstream success and look back at their infamous Super Bowl halftime show to decide if it deserves the criticism it gets.

    If you grew up listening to the Black Eyed Peas on the radio (we know you did, don't lie), this episode is for you.

  • Flappy Bird

    On this week’s episode of Zillennial Meets World, we kick things off with a climb-the-ladder style game where we match up classic smartphone and iPod games from the 2010s to determine which one deserves the top spot. From addicting puzzle games to endless runners, some of these matchups are tougher than you might think.

    Then we fly right into our main topic: Flappy Bird. We cover everything from how the game was played (and why it was so frustrating), to the love-hate relationship players had with it. We also dive into the controversy surrounding the game's creator, discuss why the app disappeared at the height of its popularity, and debate whether the backlash was deserved or not.

    If you had all the classic games like Temple Run, Angry Birds, and Fruit Ninja downloaded on your phone, you'll love this week's episode.

  • Bratz Turn 25!

    On this week’s episode of Zillennial Meets World, we kick the show off with “Stump Becca – Pixar Edition,” where Jordan quizzes Becca on the release years of popular Pixar movies. Becca is convinced she can get every single one right… as long as she has an eight-year buffer.

    Then we move into our main topic: the 25th Anniversary of Bratz. We each take turns ranking our top five dolls and toy lines, including Bratz, American Girl Dolls, Barbie, Cabbage Patch Kids, and Polly Pocket. We also dive into the history of how Bratz came to be, the rivalry between Mattel and MGA Entertainment, and the lawsuit drama that eventually got overturned. Along the way, we discover that the Bratz IP is way bigger than we originally thought.

    If you grew up begging for the Core 4 Bratz dolls, this episode is definitely for you.

  • Shrek: The 25th Anniversary

    On this week’s episode of Zillennial Meets World, we switch things up and have Jordan host the game! Taylor and Becca team up for a “Who Said It?” challenge where they have to guess whether iconic quotes came from Leslie Knope or Michael Scott. Tune in to see if these two can work together without getting into a fight.

    Then we head to the swamp for our main topic: the 25th Anniversary of Shrek. We talk all things Shrek—our childhood memories, whether we liked it, loved it, or hated it growing up, and how we think we’d feel about it watching as adults. We also dive into the ongoing DreamWorks vs. Disney debate and discuss why Shrek became such a massive cultural phenomenon.

    If you think of Shrek every time you hear the song “All Star” by Smash Mouth, you won’t want to miss this episode.

  • Ke$ha

    On this week’s episode of Zillennial Meets World, we kick things off with a WWE-style showdown by matching up famous red characters from our childhood and debating who would come out victorious. Some matchups get more heated than expected.

    Then we timber into our main topic: Kesha. Jordan, Taylor, and Becca go down memory lane discussing their favorite songs, realize Kesha has way more albums than originally thought, and explore where her musical background may have come from. We also touch on her recent lawsuit drama involving Dr. Luke and how it impacted her career over the years.

    If you remember blasting songs like Tik Tok, Your Love Is My Drug, and Timber, you’ll fit right into this episode.

  • Mickey Mouse Clubhouse 20th Anniversary

    On this week’s episode of Zillennial Meets World, Becca kicks things off by reading Jordan and Taylor the descriptions of popular Y2K shows to see if they can correctly guess what series they belong to. You may be surprised by the results this week!

    Then we move into our main topic: the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse 20th Anniversary. Jordan gives us the background of the show, how popular it became, and which classic characters you could expect to see in each episode. Then Taylor shares a handful of fun facts about the series that we bet you didn’t know.

    Finally, we close out the show with our first-ever double game episode as we do a bracket-style showdown of Disney Jr. vs. Playhouse Disney.

    If you remember shouting “Hot dog!” or “Oh Toodles!” at your TV screen, we think you’ll love this episode.

  • Got any Grapes? The Duck Song

    On this week’s episode of Zillennial Meets World, we kick things off with a game of “Bring It Back or Keep It in the Past: Y2K Edition,” where we decide which nostalgic trends deserve a comeback—and which ones should stay exactly where we left them.

    Then we waddle into our main topic: The Duck Song. We break down how this YouTube classic blew up, dive into a fan theory we found scrolling Reddit, and uncover the FOUR additional songs that exist (which Taylor and Jordan had no idea about).

    If your middle school vocal stim was “hey, got any grapes?” this episode is definitely for you.

  • Heelys

    On this week’s episode of Zillennial Meets World, we kick things off with a draft-style game where we take turns picking the best places in Pennsylvania to host the Hunger Games. Along the way, Taylor and Becca learn why people are calling Pennsylvania District 12 and they definitely have some thoughts about it.

    Then we roll into our main topic: Heelys. We throw it back to these iconic Y2K shoes that had everyone gliding through school hallways… until they got banned. We talk about the hype around them, who had a pair (and who didn’t), and debate whether they were actually a good idea or just a liability waiting to happen. We also get into whether they’re still worth buying today and discuss if they’re really more of a toy than a shoe. Plus, we touch on how it all started with our “founding father,” Roger Adams (IYKYK), and the idea that turned everyday sneakers into something way more fun.

    If you remember wishing you could roll past everyone instead of walking, this episode will definitely unlock some core memories.
