I Love "I LOVE THE '90s"

We've finally arrived at the last year of the decade, and boy do we have a great episode of television to show for it! But Annie and Courtney kick it off by talking way too long about 2025 instead of 1999 and sending messages to potential listeners. How coherent! The sisters keep things barely more on track by looking back at the stress of watching Who Wants to be a Millionaire , the shocking...

As the decade draws nearer to its end, Annie & Courtney take time to reminisce over the most adorably demonic toy ever conjured: the Furby. 1998 also saw the revival of swing music, the emergence of the Soccer Mom, and the release of two comedies from brother/co-director duos which have each aged in very different ways.

(Let's all just agree to ignore the long hiatus this time, OK? 2025 got off to a rough start.) To kick off this episode, Annie & Courtney take a look back at the biggest American political scandal of the decade and the unfair way it was framed in both 1998 and 2004. They also tackle cinematic cheese-fest Armageddon ; era-defining television like Dawson's Creek , the Jerry Springer Sh...

Annie & Courtney discuss the hottest toys, coolest singer/songwriter chicks, and most wholesome suicide cult of 1997 in the second part of this episode! Take a listen to find out what inspired the sisters to say "fuck transphobia!" and "fuck Transformers!"

After another hiatus, Annie & Courtney finally return! Aaaaaand immediately derail every conversation possible. Topics from VH1's show include Austin Powers , Spice Girls, the McCaughey septuplets, "Tubthumping," The Full Monty , and Hanson. Topics not at all once mentioned in the show but paid far too much attention on the podcast include Annie's replica "Heart of the...

Annie & Courtney aren't done with the year 1996 yet -- there's still the important matters of child labor being exposed, pro athletes publicly defying expectations, and Zubaz pants getting Zubaz-ier than ever. The sisters also wax poetic about the impact of Alanis Morisette's breakthrough  Jagged Little Pill  and the unforgettably odd Mentos commercials.

It's the conversation you've all been waiting for: two Irish-American girls from South Jersey take on Ebonics. Other topics include the Macarena, Oasis, and  Independence Day .

Annie & Courtney visit some absolute banger moments of 1995, including the release of the only '90s movie that matters ( Clueless ) and the only Hootie and the Blowfish album that matters in ( Cracked Rear View .) The sisters also discuss the rise of e X treme sports, the normalization of body modifications, and the enduring queer legacy of Xena: Warrior Princess while somehow also forget...

Excuse the short break, but Annie & Courtney are BACK and CHATTIER THAN EVER with piping hot commentary on "I Love 1995!" Or is it "I Love 2003?" Or "I Love Sex and the City: Miranda's Boyfriends Edition?" Or "I Love Playground Mythology and Related Conspiracy Theories?" Well, whatever it is, these two sisters are ready to go down several rabbit hol...

The second half of our '94 retrospective brings us the triumphant return of Salt-n-Pepa and takes us back to Woodstock, but most importantly it reminds us of some of our favorite food-related quotes: "That's what make a hamburger!" "They call it a royale with cheese." "Lieutenant Dan - ice cream."

This episode is dedicated to the incomparable OJ Simpson.

Two doctors - Dre and Quinn, Medicine Woman - lead us into the back half of I Love 1993 , but Annie and Courtney are a little more equipped to discuss the impact of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers . This episode also dips into Dazed and Confused , Crystal Pepsi, Quantum Leap , Aerosmith, and one of THE defining shows of the decade: The X-Files .

The first half of I Love 1993 sends Annie down some rabbit holes of notable true crime cases surrounding the Bobbitts and the Davidians, while Courtney mostly struggles to defend the opinion that "Informer" by Snow isn't really that bad. But between Jurassic Park , Where's Waldo? , and Martin , the major theme here is a sense of timelessness in entertainment, and it's a jo...

The year continues with forays into the violence of Tarantino, Mortal Kombat , and playground hipster versions of Barney 's infamous "I Love You" song. But after shrugging through discussions of a disastrous Olympic ad campaign and a rivalry between a fictional character and the then-current US Veep, we finally get to fawn over the greatest movie soundtrack of all time. What did VH1...

Join Annie & Courtney as they compare the quaint oddities of the US political landscape of 1992 to the nightmare parade of 2024. The year also brought us a certified cinematic comedy classic, a pioneering reality show, and some notable one hit wonders (even more notable? One of them is now famous for more than his honky tonk hit!) And just for the bookworms out there, a little spice courtesy o...

We're rollerblading our way through the backend of I Love 1991 ! Annie & Courtney hang their heads in shame over some more major blindspots in their film knowledge (neither sister has seen Thelma & Louise ?!?) But Annie makes up for it when she notes just how many major cultural artifacts the show itself skipped over. As for Courtney? You guessed it -- more moronic rants about events...

Between the meteoric rise of grunge music and the teen angst of Beverly Hills, 90210 , 1991 was the year the '90s truly became the greatest decade of all time! We've sadly lost some legends since then, but even more sad is that a certain political figure has retained his position ever since. But on the bright side, this episode introduced us to some great movies and helped us contextuali...

There was so much Annie & Courtney wanted to talk about with 1990, they had to save some of it for a second episode! This time around, Courtney goes a little off track talking about the impact of filmmakers Tim Burton and Martin Scorsese, while Annie's disturbed by the lack of recognition for the Ozone Layer. What other trends did they find worthy of discussion?

Annie & Courtney look back on the first half of the series premier exactly 20 years after it's first airdate. 1990 was a year both sisters were still in diapers, so while there's the stuff they remember being popular years after the fact ( Twin Peaks , Ghost , and Sinéad O'Conner's Nothing Compares 2 U video) there are a couple sequences that left the sisters scratching the...

A quick rundown of who we are and why we wanted to start I Love "I LOVE THE '90s" - does it make any sense? Probably not, but let's just have fun!
