Growing Up 90s: Summer Memories, Movies & Lovefool | Ep 37

We bounce from movies and music into the messy truth of 90s summer freedom, where boredom is the feature and not a bug. We revisit everything from Star Trek IV comfort-watch energy to Lovefool chord talk, then circle back to what it feels like raising kids when you can “always know” where they are. • our standing-in-line concert podcast setup and why YouTube is part of the bit • remembering artists and creators we grew up with, plus the weird way news lands now • Sublime’s new era with Jacob Nowell, and why homage can still feel real • quick-hit review of The Punisher One Last Kill and what we wanted more of • Strong Songs as a deep-listening rabbit hole, from Talking Heads to The Cardigans • Koji Kondo, Japanese jazz fusion, and why retro game music works • Enemy of the State and the fun of “enhance” tech paranoia • Star Trek IV as pure escapism and a rare rewatch temptation • Project Hail Mary adaptation choices, including puppetry and pacing • parenting in dead zones, independence, and why tracking changes the vibe • summer mornings, hanging out alone, and what we ate when nobody watched us • water balloons, teenage intimidation, and the stories that still stick • 90s summer food and drink nostalgia, plus sensory memories that snap you back • Lovefool context, album tone, guitar shapes, and dream cover versions if you really like to uh see the concert with us, then you'll have to skip over to the YouTube if you're just a listener. check out Strong Songs. Send us Fan Mail📺 Watch this episode on our YouTube Channel!
