Today, no one blinks twice at what computers are able to do with graphics. But growing up in the 70’s, 80’s and 90’s we blinked two or three thousand times. Every time you looked, graphics got better and better and we were constantly amazed. In this week’s Backtrack we take a look at this amazing progression from pong to Pixar!

Y2K really turned out to be a whole lot of nothing when 2000 came around, but that doesn’t stop us from talking about it! Reactions ranged were from “whatever” to “we’re all going to die.” Join us as we talk about what the whole thing was about, some real concerns that most people were not paying attention to, and what actually happened when we rolled over into the new millenium.

On each episode of the GenXGrownUp Podcast, we talk about the things we’re looking forward to. Often we follow up on these topics on a subsequent episode, but sometimes those topics slip through the cracks. For this show, we’ve scoured every episode from the past year to find anything we were looking forward to that sort of dropped off the radar and we didn’t talk about it again. What happened? Di...

So everybody knows about Rudolph, but do you know how Donner and Blitzen joined Santa’s Team? Or what about the moose that wanted to pull Santa’s sleigh? If not then you are missing out on some “should be” classics that Jon shares with us from his favorite childhood Christmas Album, “Christmas is for Kids!” Even if you don’t care for Christmas music, it’s fun to listen to George being a grinch, so...

They say you haven’t really made it in the music industry until Weird Al Yankovic makes a parody of one of your songs. Well, if you ask folks like Madonna, Lady Gaga, Coolio, Micheal Jackson, and Nirvana (well you can’t really ask the last two but you know what I mean) then there could be something behind that statement! Join us as we argue, backstab, and connive to get our favorite Weird Al parod...

When cable TV first came out, most people got it for the clear reception but not necessarily for any additional content. That changed when HBO hit the market. Being able to watch full movies without commercials revolutionized TV and showed what cable could be. It was like coming out of the dark ages for us Generation X’ers!

What kind of movie could you make in 1984 for a little over $6 million? Well, generally not a classic sci-fi blockbuster that spawns sequels and even a TV show. We’re talking about The Terminator. With Dark Fate coming soon pay homage to the one that started it all those many, many years ago!

Growing up in the ’70s and ’80s there were brand names that seemed like they would go on forever: Pan Am, Woolworth, A & P. But due to bad management, not keeping up with the changing times, or competition, many have died away leaving only memories. Join us as we venture into the past once again and revisit some of these brands we thought would never die. Patreon » patreon.com/genxgrownup Facebook...

When I first watched Fraggle Rock, I never thought of it as a show depicting four species that are dependant on one another for their survival. I just thought that the Fraggles liked to have fun, Doozers like to work and the Gorgs were…. well Gorgs! Like all great shows, Fraggle Rock worked on different levels. Come join us as we revisit the Fraggles, Doozers, Gorgs and Silly Creatures in this Bac...

GenXGrownUp attended Dragon Con 2019 in Atlanta, GA this year and ran a fan table to recruit new listeners & subscribers. Throughout the weekend, Jon & George recorded audio segments chronicling the experience, and share those segments with you in this Special Edition episode.

Sadly, not all of us were able to participate in the joy of owning lunch boxes. Some were not able to show all their friends which TV shows they liked, which cartoons were the coolest, or use that awesome thermos. But at least two of the hosts of GenXGrownUp were part of that lucky group! Come join us as we talk about what made lunch boxes such a status symbol. Patreon » patreon.com/genxgrownup Fa...

While many of those other wimpy podcasts are doing re-broadcasts or “best of” episodes, GenXGrownUp is still providing new content every week!
