Old Millennials Podcast

Call it sibling synchronicity or Netflix answering our prayers, but with their recent addition to the streaming service, it only made sense to revisit some classic black 90s sitcoms. This week, Margaux and Emilie give the deep dive (and rewatch) treatment to: Sister, Sister, Moesha, The Parkers, and Girlfriends Follow us on IG/FB @theoldmillennialspod Hosted on Acast.

Sometimes a genre of movies results in enough tropes to get its own spoof movie (or in the case of some of these, an entire franchise's worth of spoof movies). This week, we remember some of the bigger ones from the late '90s and early '00s, Scary Movie and Not Another Teen Movie. We'll talk about the actors who got their first big breaks (Anna Faris and Chris Evans!), why these movies aren't real...

"Hi, we're Margaux and Emilie, we're from the Bay Area, and we requested the Backstreet Boys' 'I Want It That Way' because the guys in the band are soooooo hot, wooooooo!" This week, we remember a time when it was perfectly normal to say something like that on live TV and have it be followed by an army of screaming teenagers. We're of course talking about TRL; more specifically, we're deep diving...

Whether they're a dashing Brit, brooding hunk, or the lovable idiot, one thing is for sure, they don't make rom com leading men like they used to. This week on the pod, Emilie and Margaux revisit leading men of popular rom coms from Hugh Grant to Adam Sandler, and several others in between. Follow us!

Not every girl group can be the next Spice Girls or Destiny's Child, but it doesn't mean these groups didn't have some bops along the way. This week Margaux and Emilie get into two lesser known girl groups, Dream, the proto-Danity Kane, and Wild Orchid, better known as Fergie's origin story.  Follow us!

This week, we dive into the world of Nickelodeon, specifically the iconic Saturday night programming that made up SNICK, the soundtrack to so many sleepovers. We talk about two of the anchor shows, the still-haunting-to-this-day Are You Afraid of the Dark and still-very-funny All That, and also talk about All That's spinoffs Kenan & Kel and The Amanda Show. We remember the best All That segments a...

What movie has Carrie Fisher, Diane Warren, and Tyra Banks, but is somehow directed and produced by men? If you guessed Coyote Ugly, congratulations, you have successfully fought the moonlight! This week, Emilie and Margaux officially, mostly, discuss the slumber party hit of the 2000s, Coyote Ugly, and touch on a could've been a cult classic, Slap She's French, in the their unofficial Piper Perab...

This week, we remember those individuals who may be known as one-hit wonders, but whose songs will forever in our hearts and brains (whether we like them or not). We remember some would-be stars who were victims to shelved second albums, label mergers, and copyright infringement lawsuits, and find out what they've been up to since their big hit (songwriting, producing, reality tv starring, interio...

It's the first episode of season 4, and Emilie and Margaux only have one question, wanna be on top?  To kick off our fall/winter season, we're deep diving into one the most iconic reality competition shows, America's Next Top Model.

This week, we're back with yet another around of celebrity divorces that have taken place during our never-ending quarantine. We talk about Kacey Musgraves and Ruston Kelly (let's hope this means a new Kacey album soon), Kelly Clarkson and Brandon Blackstock (aka Reba McEntire's stepson), and Armie Hammer and Elizabeth Chambers (thanks for all the blind items, Deuxmoi!), with a few honorable menti...

"I wanna forgive you, and I wanna forget you." Those iconic words will forever live in our Reality TV-loving hearts, and this week, we decided to watch the Hills episode that launched them into the stratosphere. We look back at the events (Heidi and Lauren having a minor confrontation at a fundraising event hosted by veteran TV showrunner Norman Lear?), the fashion choices (so many empire waists),...

This week, we're doing a sort of metacast, if you will. We're talking about other podcasts, mainly ones that no one ever asked for hosted by people we never asked to host podcasts. Join us as we talk about podcasts hosted by Brian Austin Green, Macaulay Culkin, Zach Braff and Donald Faison, and Brooks Laich and Gavin Degraw. Hosted on Acast.

This week we break down some of the injuries celebrities have sustained during the pandemic and talk about our recent personal injuries we both sustained right before shelter-in-place. Broken arms and chipped teeth and dog bites, oh my! This week's episode is brought to you in part by the nightly fireworks taking place in Emilie's neighborhood, which make a few appearances. Hosted on Acast. See ac...

On the mini this week, Emilie and Margaux try a new game where they where they remember a relic from a time gone by and talk about it for roughly 15 minutes.

We're back with a mini episode on the most trivial and shallow thing possible: celebrity quarantine divorces! A note on today's episode, we realize there's a lot going on right now and we're aware that the last thing on people's minds is a bunch of gossip around rich white people's divorces. We are going to be doing more on our podcast and social media to amplify Black voices and culture, which yo...

Grab your CD collection from your parents' basement, it's time to revisit the "Now That's What I Call Music!" compilations of yore! In our Season 3 finale, we talk about the weird history of these CDs (it involves Richard Branson's houseboat) and deep dive into the tracklists that made up Nows 1-4. Join us as we remember bands like Tonic, Marcy Playground, Fastball, New Radicals, and Eiffel 65. We...

This week Margaux and Emilie revisit the beginning of the Golden Age of Television with The Sopranos, The Wire, The Office, and Arrested Development and decide which are worth a self isolation rewatch.

This week we did a deep dive on the political teen films that (far too briefly) made their theatrical debuts in 1999. We talked about the ambitious but totally Republican Tracy Flick in Election, the demise of Nixon administration brought by way of two teenage girls in Dick, and the dark clique and popularity high school politics that rule Jawbreaker.

This week Margaux and Emilie talk about the golden age of music videos, 1999. Ah yes, the budgets were big, the plots were thin, and if you were lucky, you had a really good episode of Making The Music Video to drum up some hype. Dust off that CD bible and get ready for weird targeted ads after you Google these videos. Follow us! Medium: @oldmillennialspodIG+FB: @theoldmillennialspod Hosted on Aca...

In the midst of this quarantine, let's travel back to simpler times, back when reality tv was low-budget, and there were 20+ VERY EAGER women vying for a chance to date Flavor Flav. We revisited the VH1 Celebreality universe this week, and spoiler alert: it was wild (and at times depressing). We rewatched the Surreal Life, Flavor of Love, I Love New York, and Celebrity Fit Club and all we can say...

This week we talk about the wave of blonde popstars that were ruling the airwaves and TRL with Britney back in the late '90s and early '00s. We deep dive into Jessica Simpson, Mandy Moore, and Christina Aguilera's careers, and how Jessica and Mandy have both been in the press in the last few months (Jessica with a new book/songs and Mandy with a tour and album). We hope that, like us, you'll be li...
