Patreon Release: After-School Special: What Are Friends For? (1980)

After-School Special: What Are Friends For? (1980)This episode is from our Patreon archives and originally aired in February of 2021 and remains one of our favorites of all time!Twelve-year-old Amy Warner is the new kid on the block after she and her freshly-divorced mother move to California. All is fine until Amy meets Michelle Mudd, a tween who loves dogs, rainbows, shoplifting, and blood sacrifices. Amy grows concerned when Michelle attempts to cast a spell on her father’s new girlfriend and frames Amy for shoplifting at the local store. This is bonkers. We get an inside look at Jennie’s teenage bedroom, Amye revisits her brief life of crime, and we both agree that Charlie Chaplin posters have no place in a teenager’s bedroom. Oh, and there are a ton of creepy dolls. You’ve been warned.Please note:As of May, 2023, there will be NO NEW content on our patreon feed.You are welcome to sign up, listen to the archives- of which there are MANY, and then unsubscribe when finished.Follow Gen X, This is Why on Facebook: facebook.com/genxthisiswhy/Join our Facebook Group, The Me-Me B’s for extra content, giveaways, and some fun Gen X introspection: facebook.com/groups/genxthisiswhy/And find us on Instagram at: @genxthisiswhyYou can find Amye at: @amyearcherwriterYou can find Jennie, but good luck with that.Questions?
