S2 Ep. 4 | What About Bob?
from Millennial Meets Gen Z: 90s Edition Hosted by Millennial Meets Gen Z
🧠 This week we’re talking therapy... which feels appropriate considering Hannah is currently concerning her therapist. 😂 And for this one, we brought in backup. Allison’s mom, Pam, joins the podcast as our resident Boomer who is learning Gen Alpha slang, which means we somehow go from therapy to “the tax,” raising kids in the '90s, and whether parents actually knew where their children were back then. Then we rewind one of Pam’s favorites, What About Bob? (1991), starring Bill Murray and Richard Dreyfuss. Bob Wiley is a neurotic patient who becomes extremely attached to his new psychiatrist, Dr. Leo Marvin. So attached, in fact, that when Leo leaves for vacation, Bob tracks him down, befriends his family, becomes the town favorite, appears on national television, and slowly drives Leo completely out of his mind. Baby steps. 😂 This week we’re talking: 🧠 Therapy, therapists, and Hannah’s latest appointment 👩👧 Allison’s mom joins the chaos 📱 A Boomer learning Gen Alpha slang 🏡 What it was actually like raising kids in the '90s 🐠 Bob and his goldfish, Gil 📖 The questionable brilliance of Baby Steps ⛵ “I’m sailing!” 😂 Bob charming literally everyone except his own therapist 💥 Leo’s increasingly unhinged attempts to get rid of Bob 🎬 And the very real tension between Bill Murray and Richard Dreyfuss behind the scenes Hannah’s Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4/10 Pam’s Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐½ 8.5/10 So yes, there may be a slight generational divide on this one. 🎧 Follow us so you don’t miss the rest of Season 2!
