BONUS: Time Capsule: Class Action Park- Public Release

from Gen X, This is Why.

Happy Summer! It's a Patreon episode for all! In honor of summer, enjoy this episode originally recorded for Patreon in Jan 2021. Enjoy our coverage of the HBO MAX documentary Class Action Park Join us as we remember the 80’s, a time of unregulated anarchy, at least for a bunch of teenagers in New Jersey. Action Park’s lawlessness became legend, and after watching this HBO MAX documentary, it’s obvious as to why. We are stunned by Uncle Gene, a mythical figure to the employees of the park who pretty much laid down their lives for him-and for a 100$ bill, and an irresponsible monster to others, mostly parents of those teenagers. We reflect on the Gen X pastime of trying to die for fun, agree that NJ isn’t sending us their best (sorry, NJ), and we realize Action Park could only be possible in the 80’s.
