Why 2005 Still Feels Like Yesterday: Twilight, Blockbuster, and the 20-Year Cycle
Description
What does a blockbuster vampire romance, a defunct video store, and biblical symbolism have in common? Ed Conroy connects the dots through nostalgia, pop culture, and history in this punchy Throwback Thursday episode.
From the cultural impact of Twilight to the lost rituals of Blockbuster nights, Ed and Shane revisit 2005 and its enduring influence. They weigh the return of mom jeans, the evolution of irony, and why fashion today looks like every decade all at once. Plus, Ed shares updates on his children’s TV exhibit and the new Imagination Book.
Learn how time compresses, trends recycle, and why the 20-year cycle isn’t just a theory—it’s baked into culture, memory, and maybe even scripture.
