Tv EN ↓ 32 episodes

Welcome to Gen Wars – the podcast where generations collide over cinema and media…and not everyone’s impressed. Hosted by Nick, Stephen, Cam, and Katherine, this is where Gen X nostalgia gets dragged into the cold, harsh light of Millennial judgment, and occasionally survives the roast. Occasionally. Nick and Cam (Team Gen X) are your classic movie die-hards, who grew up on VHS tapes, mall theaters, and movie soundtracks on cassette. Stephen and Katherine (Team Millennials) are catching up on the classics and are here to ask the real questions, like: "Was this actually good?"
