ROM-COMS 04.03.2025

February was busy, so we are giving you a (very) belated Valentine's Day gift. It's just us talking about our favorite rom-coms between the 80s & 00s. Sorry, but I don't know how to get a box of chocolates to you. Whether your favorite trope is friends to lovers, enemies to lovers, or bet-with-his-buddies-gone-wrong, there's a little something for everyone. Make sure you share...

BLAST FROM THE PAST: 2015 30.01.2025

How is it possible that 2015 was 10 years ago? It simultaneously feels like it was last week and also a lifetime ago. Must be all the collective trauma. In this episode, we talk about some of the top music, movies, & tv shows of that year. Because we had such a good time with it last time, we play another round of Smash or Pass. OH! And Bri's dog (Smeagol) also makes an appearance this epi...

90s Christmas Toys 24.12.2024

WHAT A TIME TO BE ALIVE! Wasn't it great to wake up on Christmas and see all the things that Santa brought you? Sigh. The good old days. From a purely selfish perspective, we chat about our favorite 90s toys and some of the memories surrounding them. Whatever holiday you celebrate (or even if you don't celebrate any), we hope this season treats you well. Here's to many more memories being made in...

The Thanksgiving Episode 25.11.2024

No surprise here! We are chatting today about popular Thanksgiving traditions with some fun facts sprinkled in. Whether you are traveling, staying home, or totally spacing out as your Uncle Randy yells at the Detroit Lions on tv, we hope you enjoy your holiday. Share in the comments your favorite Thanksgiving tradition.

Nostalgic Nom Noms Pt 2 04.11.2024

Warning: Don't listen to this episode if you are hungry. We continue our conversation about our favorite snacks and drinks when we were growing up. Hopefully this episode will temporarily provide momentary relief from US election coverage (especially if you're in a swing state) Leave a comment and share your favorite! Godspeed until next time.

Nostalgic Nom Noms Pt 1 02.10.2024

Are you even a millennial if you don't refer to your food as nom noms? In this episode, Bri and Erica chat about some of the snacks that hold a special place in our hearts. Whether it was our favorite cereal to eat while watching our favorite Saturday morning cartoons or the snacks that would make you the envy of the lunch table, there are so many deliciously sugary or sodium-filled items that bro...

OMG WE'RE BACK AGAIN 17.09.2024

Hiya, folks! What's it been, like a year? Maybe 5? We don't know, but we sure missed it. In his teeny tiny minisode, Bri and Erica catch up, recap what they've already covered on the show, and discuss the future of the podcast. We hope you're excited as we are.

DISNEY TV S:4 E:8 12.09.2023

WHAT'S UP, Y'ALL!? We're back to wrap up our season on Disney TV shows. Listen as we discuss the possible changing of some things for future of the podcast as well as the shows on the docket today. Bri covers The Jersey & Even Stevens while Erica covers Lizzie McGuire and That's So Raven. Which one was your favorite? If you aren't a fan of our banter or what we discuss in u...

DISNEY TV S:4 E:7 *BONUS EPISODE!* 25.07.2023

You guys! We had the honor and privilege of interviewing two incredible women, one of them just happens to be a former Mouseketeer! That's right. We have Jennifer McGill and Summer Simmons, of the Club Rewind podcast, on the show with us. Jennifer and Summer are life-long BFFs. We talk about their experiences with the All New Mickey Mouse Club, their careers, and what they are doing now. They...

DISNEY TV S:4 E:6 24.06.2023

WE'RE ALIVE! WE'RE STILL HERE! This is the first of our 2-part season finale. In this episode we catch up with each other, how we've been dealing with life, and some of the earlier live-action tv shows we millennials might recall, like.....oh, say, I don't know....Mickey Mouse Club? The show that launched the careers of some of our favorite entertainers? Amongst that, some other on...

DISNEY TV S:4 E:5 24.04.2023

Ever had one of those shows that you watched as a kid, but it seems like no one else knew what you were talking about when you describe it to them? That's kind of what we're talking about today. We're calling them Fever Dream Shows, because we weren't convinced they were real. Perhaps we were too young when they were first out, or perhaps not even a twinkle in our dad's eye. We...

DISNEY TV S:4 E:4 17.03.2023

Here we are, folks! Miss us? We have a lot to cover in this episode. Today, we chat about the Disney TV shows that were based on Disney movies. To be honest, they all feel like fever dreams, but do you remember the Little Mermaid show? Aladdin? Heck, Mighty Ducks?! We all remember them fondly, but we are here to talk about how sometimes nostalgia sometimes paints a better picture than what was rea...

DISNEY TV S:4 E:3 13.02.2023

YOU. GUYS! You probably thought we ghosted you like a bad Tinder date who stalks your Instagram stories for months. BUT WE'RE BACK (unlike your bad Tinder date)! We're excited to share this episode with you. We chat about some Disney cartoons we loved in the late 90s/early 00s like Recess, Pepper Ann, Proud Family, Kim Possible, and Phineas & Ferb. Listen as we struggle coming to terms with ju...

MINISODE 3 : CHRISTMAS MOVIES 22.12.2022

We hope you enjoy a little chaos and lots of movie quotes. That's what this episode is filled with...along with holiday cheer. We chat about our favorite Christmas movies and share some favorite memories. Literally as soon as we finished recording we both were upset we forgot to mention the Santa Claus and the ever-so-polarizing Die Hard.  Please don't pull a Hans Gruber on us. Whatever your...

DISNEY TV S:4 E:2 13.12.2022

Back again with another trip down Memory Lane. This episode, we chat about some more Disney Channel cartoons that made our childhoods a little brighter: Darkwing Duck, Goof Troop, Bonkers, and Gargoyles. We also discuss how different it is to watch these shows as an adult. Sometimes it leads you to wonder, "Why did I find this so amusing?" Or even, "Man. This really stood the test of time. The '90...

DISNEY TV S:4 E:1 21.11.2022

Here we are again! New season! Lots of info and episodes coming at you in the weeks ahead. We asked, you answered, we listened to what you wanted to hear about so DISNEY CHANNEL TV it is! We're starting off the season strong with the OG shows like Duck Tales, Gummi Bears, Chip and Dale Rescue Rangers, and Tale Spin. Total classics. You're probably singing one of those theme songs in your head righ...

MINISODE 2: HALLOWEEN SPECIAL 24.10.2022

*read in Stefon from SNL's voice* This minisode has EVERYTHING: lame excuses as to where we've been, obnoxious laughter, Bri's dog singing in the background, and discussion of all the spooky tv shows and movies that get us in the festive spirit. We're back with another mini episode about our favorite pop culture things that make us feel excited for the spooky season! Hopefully you're all ready and...

MINISODE 1: VIRAL VIDEOS 09.09.2022

Back in our day, we didn't have TikTok to give us hilarious videos at a moment's notice. We had to use our dial-up internet to watch something on Ebaums World or YouTube. AND WE LIKED IT! It was like America's Funniest Home Videos at your fingertips, sans Bob Saget (RIP). So many of these millennial classics shaped our sense of humor and influenced pop culture. The next time you're standing in Cho...

MOVIES S:3 E:8 19.08.2022

WHOOO! We made it to the end of the season! Of course all these movies aren't AAAAALLLL the movies that made us cry, but it's a good place to start...an amuse bouche, if you will. This episode we dive in to two early 2000s favorites: Remember the Titans and The Notebook. So many great lessons about respect, teamwork, and leadership learned from Remember the Titans. And well, in The Notebook we lea...

MOVIES S:3 E:7 12.08.2022

The late 90s were great! Dial-up internet, cable tv, Napster, playing outside with your friends until the street lights came on...and of course two more movies we are discussing today: Stepmom and The Iron Giant. Have you heard Bri cry in an episode yet? No, because it's a first. Don't worry. No blubbering. But the mood is lightened as we chat about a childhood favorite. Who knew Vin Diesel did vo...

MOVIES 2:3 E:6 05.08.2022

What do you remember most about 1997? It was definitely a huge year at the box office! In this episode we discuss two real-life tragedies-turned-epic movies: Selena and Titanic. Again, very different films but with profound impact. What would life be like if J.Lo never got to play Selena? Where would the world be without "My Heart Will Go On?" Could you actually go ANYWHERE in 1997/1998 and NOT he...

MOVIES S:3 E:5 29.07.2022

We're throwing it all the way back to 1995 this episode. What a great year! Talking about two vastly different movies here as well: Braveheart and A Little Princess. Did we watch Braveheart as kids? We probably shouldn't have, but dang. It had a GRIP on our parents and older siblings. Us millennials too, later on. As far as A Little Princess goes, it's one we had on repeat and probably ruined the...

MOVIES S:3 E:4 22.07.2022

Is this the longest episode we've had so far? Yes. Did Bri edit out over half an hour of A+ chit chat? Yes. Is this episode worth listening to every minute? Double yes. This episode, Bri and Erica were joined by their friend, Christy. Christy is an avid cinephile, writer, baker, reader, entrepreneur, and all around creative genius. She has excellent input into our two movies of discussion this wee...

MOVIES S:3 E:3 15.07.2022

How many movies that were made for kids still make you cry? I wish I knew how many, but they probably all have to do with cute animals who love their humans. Just like Shadow, Chance and Sassy did in Homeward Bound. While you're listening if you want to play a game, take a shot (drink of choice) every time Brianne calls Chance, "Shadow." Woof. Take an extra if you also had a mini heart attack real...

MOVIES S:3 E:2 08.07.2022

HEYYYY-O! "I only surround myself with people I find intellectually stimulating," - Vada Sultenfuss, which is why you should listen to this episode. Obviously "My Girl" was one of the movies that defined our generation for a multitude of reasons. This movie still pulls on our heartstrings. The other film we discuss this episode is "All Dogs Go To Heaven," which I'm pretty sure is one of the reason...
