Flappy Bird

Flappy Bird

On this week’s episode of Zillennial Meets World, we kick things off with a climb-the-ladder style game where we match up classic smartphone and iPod games from the 2010s to determine which one deserves the top spot. From addicting puzzle games to endless runners, some of these matchups are tougher than you might think. Then we fly right into our main topic: Flappy Bird. We cover everything from how the game was played (and why it was so frustrating), to the love-hate relationship players had with it. We also dive into the controversy surrounding the game's creator, discuss why the app disappeared at the height of its popularity, and debate whether the backlash was deserved or not. If you had all the classic games like Temple Run, Angry Birds, and Fruit Ninja downloaded on your phone, you'll love this week's episode.

Bratz Turn 25!

On this week’s episode of Zillennial Meets World, we kick the show off with “Stump Becca – Pixar Edition,” where Jordan quizzes Becca on the release years of popular Pixar movies. Becca is convinced she can get every single one right… as long as she has an eight-year buffer. Then we move into our main topic: the 25th Anniversary of Bratz. We each take turns ranking our top five dolls and toy lines, including Bratz, American Girl Dolls, Barbie, Cabbage Patch Kids, and Polly Pocket. We also dive into the history of how Bratz came to be, the rivalry between Mattel and MGA Entertainment, and the lawsuit drama that eventually got overturned. Along the way, we discover that the Bratz IP is way bigger than we originally thought. If you grew up begging for the Core 4 Bratz dolls, this episode is definitely for you.

Shrek: The 25th Anniversary

On this week’s episode of Zillennial Meets World, we switch things up and have Jordan host the game! Taylor and Becca team up for a “Who Said It?” challenge where they have to guess whether iconic quotes came from Leslie Knope or Michael Scott. Tune in to see if these two can work together without getting into a fight. Then we head to the swamp for our main topic: the 25th Anniversary of Shrek. We talk all things Shrek—our childhood memories, whether we liked it, loved it, or hated it growing up, and how we think we’d feel about it watching as adults. We also dive into the ongoing DreamWorks vs. Disney debate and discuss why Shrek became such a massive cultural phenomenon. If you think of Shrek every time you hear the song “All Star” by Smash Mouth, you won’t want to miss this episode.

Some matchups get more heated than expected. Then we timber into our main topic: Kesha. Jordan, Taylor, and Becca go down memory lane discussing their favorite songs, realize Kesha has way more albums than originally thought, and explore where her musical background may have come from. We also touch on her recent lawsuit drama involving Dr. Luke and how it impacted her career over the years.
