4d ago1:05:32

1:05:32

At no time were our full range of GenX adolescent emotions more keenly felt than the night of the middle school dance.

18d ago1:03:34

Join us as we (rather passionately!) relive this iconic movie scene by scene and bark by bark, still getting traumatized by the sight of those kids in GAGS and that awful KICK (if you…

Charlie's Angels: Which Angel are You? 1:14:03

25d ago1:14:03

1:14:03

Once upon a time there were three little girls who religiously followed three little girls who went to the police academy. And they were each assigned very hazardous duties – like watching TV and absorbing everything it taught them about being a woman. But growing up took them away from all of that. And now they work for YOU! As podcasters! Where t…

Just sit right back and you’ll hear a tale, a tale of a fateful trip …” You’re singing the end of that song now, aren’t you? (You’re welcome.) That’s because the TV shows from the 50s and 60s that reran constantly during our Gen X childhoods took up entire afternoons, weekends, and summer vacations. They were our after-school friends, our babysitte…

Kramer vs Kramer: The Adult Movie for GenX Kids 1:06:03

3M ago1:06:03

1:06:03

Kramer vs. Kramer, the divorce drama starring Dustin Hoffman and a young Meryl Streep, opened on December 19, 1979 and quickly became more than a movie; it was, according to Vanity Fair, a cultural benchmark, a snapshot of the fractured American family. If statistics hold true, that applies to roughly half of you. Even if your parents were married …

Speedy Delivery! The GenX Art of the Handwritten Letter 1:19:35

3M ago1:19:35

1:19:35

Letterwriting is the topic that took the PCPS by storm! When we asked you for your thoughts and stories about the letters you wrote and received growing up, we got more responses than any other topic to date. This certainly validates our assertion that letterwriting was vital to the Gen X experience. Before email and texting there was only one way …

What’s a Phone Book? The GenX/GenZ Generation Gap 1:08:05

4M ago1:08:05

1:08:05

Today we’re saving many of the things from our youth that our own kids’ generations will never understand … like what the heck a phone book is (not to mention how to use it).

1:06:43

In today's episode, we’ll be saving the competition show responsible for the rash of broken arms suffered in basements, backyards and TV rooms while trying the latest trick seen on the disco-era dance show … DANCE FEVER.

54:16

We’re kicking off Season 11 by celebrating that motley group of messy-haired kids who wore the coveted striped shirts and ran amuck in a big, open, Boston studio singing silly songs off-key, playing silly games, performing silly skits, and speaking in a silly language that SOME of us (cough… Kristin …) can still speak in today. Zoom taught us more …

6M ago1:05:09

1:05:09

Once again the PCPS is holding a college-level course on an iconic movie from our youth: this time it’s the 1987 feel-good, forbidden-love, hip-swivelin’ classic Dirty Dancing. But as you’ll hear in this episode, Dirty Dancing was so much more than a “dance movie.” In true PCPS fashion we’re dissecting everything from the ironic chemistry of the co…

8M ago1:01:03

1:01:03

The controversial 1973 commercial for the memory game Hüsker Dü inspired this episode in which we pepper each other with questions that all start with the phrase "Do you remember ....?" It's a rapid-fire round-up of random things that intrigue us but don't warrant an entire episode. We're talking about Rerun and doobies (or Doobies) and Mouseketeer…

48:58

today's episode will be out of the ordinary -- and that's because it was not planned, it was not researched, and it was not recorded in our home studios with high tech microphones and sound proofing.

It’s the Brady Bunch episodes that gave us a lifelong onomatopoeia: Doodle-oodle-oo!! Honestly, can you talk about these episode without doing it at least five times? We know we can’t!
