"Throw me a frickin' bone here!" 🕶️😆 This week on Millennial Meets Gen Z: 90's Edition, Hannah introduces us to her new cat, and Allison falls down the internet rabbit hole known as Mall World—the strange phenomenon where thousands of people claim to dream about the same endless, maze-like shopping mall.

This week on Millennial Meets Gen Z: 90's Edition, Hannah learns how to mail a package, Allison climbs onto a grocery store soapbox, and somehow we end up discussing both one of television's greatest political dramas and three kid ninjas. First, we watch the pilot episode of The West Wing and meet President Jed Bartlet, Josh Lyman, CJ Cregg, Sam Seaborn, and the fast-paced world of Aaron Sorkin's White House. To Allison's delight, Hannah actually loved it. Then we rewind 3 Ninjas (1992), the movie that convinced an entire generation to ask their parents for karate lessons.

Ep. 30 | Rookie of the Year & Hot Ice

"Hot ice. It's the best of both worlds." 🧊⚾ This week on Millennial Meets Gen Z: 90's Edition, we rewind Rookie of the Year (1993)—the movie that convinced an entire generation that breaking your arm might be a viable path to Major League Baseball. When 12-year-old Henry Rowengartner breaks his arm, it heals with a very unusual side effect: a 100+ mph fastball. Before long, he's pitching for the Chicago Cubs, making Sports Illustrated, and trying to balance baseball fame with being a kid. We're talking: * Henry Rowengartner and the Cubs' magical playoff run * Daniel Stern directing and playing Brickma * The mystery of Hot Ice * Why Gary Busey's Chet Stedman might be the heart of the movie * "Pitcher's got a big butt!" and other elite baseball taunts Plus: John Candy, hidden ball tricks, Wrigley Field, and Hannah's surprisingly harsh review.

Ep. 29 | That Thing You Do! & Boy Bands

“The O-needers?” 😂 This week on Millennial Meets Gen Z: 90’s Edition, we rewind That Thing You Do! (1996)—Tom Hanks’ directorial debut and one of the most underrated music movies of the 90s. Before the movie, we take a detour into boy band history with 5ive’s When the Lights Go Out [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mpdcKmaHk_s] and boy band parody, DuJour’s unhinged Backdoor Lover [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CXy5SFjZxPw&t=156s] from Josie and the Pussycats. Then we follow The Wonders (formerly the Oneders… yes, the “Oh-needers”) as one song launches them from Erie, Pennsylvania into sudden fame, screaming fans, matching suits, and the chaos of the music industry. We’re talking: 🎸 One-hit wonder culture and 90s boy bands 🥁 Guy Patterson being the emotional backbone of this movie 🎤 Steve Zahn stealing every scene 💔 Why Faye deserved better 😂 And Hannah’s official review: “It was worth the $6.” “I didn’t want to punch them when they sang.” Plus: Beatles history, fake movie bands, Spartacus references, and the terrifying realization that Gen Z did not grow up knowing John, Paul, George, and Ringo were The Beatles. 🎧 Streaming now everywhere you get your podcasts 📲 Follow us on Instagram [https://www.instagram.com/millennialmeetsgenz/], Facebook [https://www.facebook.com/MillennialMeetsGenZ/], and YouTube [https://www.youtube.com/@MillennialMeetsGenZ]for clips, extras, and behind-the-scenes moments Be kind… and rewind 💛 Up next: Rookie of the Year - watch along with us this week for next week's pod!
