"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. Hannah's Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (5/10) šŸŽ§ Streaming now everywhere you get your podcasts. šŸ“² Follow us on Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube for clips, extras, and behind-the-scenes moments. Be kind… and rewind šŸ’› Up next: 3 Ninjas & The West Wing - Watch along with us!

Ep. 36 | American Pie (with Guest - Dogan)

This one time... we welcomed another guest to the podcast! This week, we're joined by our friend Dogan, who first watched American Pie (1999) while living in Turkey before his time in the United States for college. It makes for a fun conversation as he shares what he thought American teenagers, high school, and parties were really like—and how his perspective has changed after watching it again as an adult. Meanwhile, Hannah discovers she has a soft spot for Oz (despite his bro behavior at the beginning), and after a brief internet hiccup, we keep the episode going with Hannah finishing the recording from her phone. We're talking: 🄧 American Pie with an international perspectivešŸŒ Expectations vs. realityšŸŽ“ High school in the '90sšŸŽ¶ Oz's character arcšŸ˜‚ The moments that still hold up... and the ones that definitely don't.

Ep. 35 | Independence Day

The fireworks may be over, but we're keeping the Independence Day celebration going. This week, we rewind Independence Day (1996), the blockbuster that made us believe humanity could come together to save the world... as long as Will Smith, Jeff Goldblum, and Bill Pullman were involved. We're talking: * The massive alien invasion * Allison's recent flight lesson (and why she's still not convinced flying is a good idea) * Jeff Goldblum's computer virus plan * President Whitmore's legendary speech * Randy Quaid's unforgettable sacrifice * Plus: Area 51, "Welcome to Earth," "Oops," cigars, and why this movie is still one of the greatest summer blockbusters ever made.

Ep. 34 | The Matrix & There Is No Spoon

This week, we're together in person after taking a self-defense class and quickly discover that while one of us learned a few moves... neither of us is ready to dodge bullets. Then we rewind The Matrix (1999), the groundbreaking sci-fi classic that changed action movies forever with bullet time, unforgettable fight scenes, and one question: What is the Matrix? We're talking: * The red pill vs. the blue pill - Allison doesn't take drugs from Strangers, but Hannah would take pills from anyone name Morpheus. * "There is no spoon." * Neo, Trinity, and Morpheus * Bullet time and martial arts * AI, philosophy, and reality itself Plus, Hannah finally discovers The Matrix isn't about aliens... and Allison spends a surprising amount of time wondering why Neo couldn't just imagine whatever he wanted. Hannah's Rating: G/10 - WHAT EVEN DOES THAT MEAN?! šŸŽ§ Follow us so you don't miss our latest episodes. Our Next Watch: Independence Day (1996). Be kind… and rewind. šŸ’›
