Who's your Mommy? | Pokémon Go

Who's your Mommy? | Pokémon Go

On this week’s episode of Zillennial Meets World, we kick things off with a debate over which fictional moms from our favorite childhood shows we would have loved to have as our own... and which ones we'd definitely rather avoid. Then we walk into our main topic: Pokémon GO. Becca gives us a crash course on all things Pokémon, breaking down just how massive the franchise became—from the TV show and Game Boy Advance games to the trading cards that took over playgrounds. Jordan then explains how Pokémon GO went from an April Fools' joke to the viral sensation that had everyone walking around catching Pokémon in the summer of 2016. Finally, Taylor wraps things up with some fun facts about the game and explores some of the unexpected consequences that came along with its worldwide success. If you remember dropping everything to catch a rare Pokémon or taking late-night walks with friends just to spin a PokéStop, this episode is definitely for you.

The Price Is Right | Liberty's Kids

On this week’s episode of Zillennial Meets World, we kick things off with “The Price Is Right – Friendly’s Edition,” where Becca puts Jordan and Taylor to the test to see who can guess the prices of popular menu items from Friendly’s. The biggest surprise? Friendly’s is still a lot more affordable than either of them expected. Then we celebrate America’s 250th birthday by revisiting a PBS Kids classic: Liberty’s Kids. We start things off with a rundown of what PBS offered as a free cable channel and the surprising amount of viewership it brought in. Then we discuss what made Liberty’s Kids so memorable, whether it actually helped us learn history, and take a look at the show's star-studded voice cast featuring Whoopi Goldberg, Liam Neeson, Ben Stiller, and many more. If you grew up watching Liberty’s Kids and accidentally learning history after school, you’ll love this Fourth of July-themed episode.

Name that Game | Box Tops

On this week’s episode of Zillennial Meets World, Becca puts Taylor and Jordan against each other in a Jeopardy-style game where she reads descriptions of classic childhood board games, and they race to see who can identify them the fastest. Then we cut into our main topic: Box Tops. We take a trip down memory lane and revisit the classic General Mills Box Tops that seemed to be on every cereal box growing up. We discuss our memories of collecting them for school, do some math to figure out how much they were actually worth, and debate whether the program was a great way to support schools or just a "brilliant" marketing strategy by General Mills. If you remember the thrill of finding a double Box Top on your favorite cereal box, you'll love this episode.

Lilo & Stitch | Live-Action Remake Debate

On this week’s episode of Zillennial Meets World, we kick things off with a ranking game where we debate which fictional places from our favorite childhood shows would be the best—and worst—places to live. Some of our picks are obvious, while others spark a surprising amount of debate. Then we switch gears and dive into the live-action remake craze that seems to be taking over Hollywood. Are we fans of these reboots, or do we wish studios would leave our childhood classics alone? We use the new Lilo & Stitch live-action remake as our main case study, breaking down some of the controversy surrounding the film, discussing what we loved, and sharing whether we think Disney got this remake right. If you grew up wanting your own alien best friend and believed "ohana means family," this episode is for you.

Name the Celebrity | Black Eyed Peas

On this week’s episode of Zillennial Meets World, Becca kicks things off by putting Jordan and Taylor to the test with a celebrity name game. She reads the government names of well-known artists, and they have to guess which celebrities they belong to. Some are easier than others... and some leave them completely stumped. Then we pump it up with our Y2K topic of the day: The Black Eyed Peas. From My Humps, I Gotta Feeling, and Boom Boom Pow, we revisit some of the group's biggest hits while exploring how they transformed into one of the defining acts of the 2000s. We also debate whether they "sold out" on their way to mainstream success and look back at their infamous Super Bowl halftime show to decide if it deserves the criticism it gets. If you grew up listening to the Black Eyed Peas on the radio (we know you did, don't lie), this episode is for you.
