Just a few weeks ago I connected with an old friend from back in my NY days. We quickly got on to how much we love The Real Housewives. Listen to me and my friend Callum, a creative arts therapist talk about the many dynamics of women from multiple cities in the franchise. It was great to get his perspective and we mainly talk about what we think is one of the current standouts, Salt Lake City. We give our rundown and opinion on the ladies, talk why RHONY means so much to us to this day, and how the show has evolved over the years for better or worse.Enjoy!---Get BONUS episodes on 90s TV and culture (Freaks & Geeks, My So Called Life, Buffy, 90s culture documentaries, and more...) and to support the show join the Patreon!

If you can believe it I've gone my whole life without seeing the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers movie. This is yet another one to check off on the list of nostalgia watches. I remember watching the tv series in the first season but boy did this world really expand! Me and Mikey are back to talk the ultimate camp movie about mid 30s teens of Angel Grove that somehow everyone knows they are superheroes? We talk about the film being saved by a campy villain, the amazing fashion coordination, and our childhood memories of the tv series.off-topic rants include: commercials on streaming being a scam, Christopher Walken as Ivan Ooze?---Get BONUS episodes on 90s TV and culture (Freaks & Geeks, My So Called Life, Buffy, 90s culture documentaries, and more...) and to support the show join the Patreon!

Well, it was high time we take a bite out of the second Jurassic Park movie of the 90s. Widely known as a far inferior sequel, (and they're right) but it was directed by Spielberg so how bad could it be? Me and Charles take the opportunity to tell you exactly how bad and just all the many reasons this was doomed from the start. There is no better co-host than Charles to talk about the films that electrified him as a youth seeing them multiple times in the theater. We talk the MANY differences from the novel to the screen, just how weird the whole daughter storyline was, and just why it fell apart as soon as they got off that island.---Get BONUS episodes on 90s TV and culture (Freaks & Geeks, My So Called Life, Buffy, 90s culture documentaries, and more...) and to support the show join the Patreon!

I saw it in the cinema for New Years Day and it basically set the tone for my relationship with film in 2024.Me and Mikey are here to talk about how we loved this film and how we haven't seen anything like it. Emma Stone is just a standout and we talk about the evolution of her character and how the incredible costume design by Holly Waddington adds an entirely new level.

During this episode I discovered a new genre: 'domestic friendship bi- thriller'. This is literally one of my favorite genres. In a film starring Rob Lowe giving Lifetime movie villain and (my baby) James Spader acting for his life it's bound to have some heat. Me and Charles talk about how they tried to make corporate language seductive, the amazing interiors of 80s apartments, and more talk of homoerotic thrillers.Off-topic rants include: Family Guy cutaways, The West Wing, Rob Lowe as the original himbo---Get BONUS episodes on 90s TV and culture (Freaks & Geeks, My So Called Life, Buffy, 90s culture documentaries, and more...) and to support the show join the Patreon!

If you're at all still tapped into the Love Island world then you know these times are when things really amp up. After the Islanders leave the villa there are interviews, shade thrown back and forth, and all around chaos. Some may even say this is when the show actually starts. Now Ashley of Black Girl Film Club is back on the show as someone who is just as chronically online as me to talk about what's ALLEGEDLY* been going on since the finale. We talk through recent news of the JaNa and Kenny breakup, Nicolandria updates, 404 (Cierra) being weird, and what things production can do next year to address the litany of issues that seem to be springing up around this show lately.---Get BONUS episodes on 90s TV and culture (Freaks & Geeks, My So Called Life, Buffy, 90s culture documentaries, and more...) and to support the show join the Patreon!

Choosing the right trousers involves finding a balance between comfort, fit, and versatility. Consider the fabric—cotton for casual wear, wool for formal occasions, or a blend for everyday use. The cut is also crucial; slim fit works well for a sleek, modern look, while a regular fit offers more comfort. I recently discovered a great collection that covers all these bases at https://ca.gottoshop.com/catalog/mens-trousers They offer a range of styles that can easily transition from a day at the office to a night out, making them a wardrobe essential.
