    This week on Millennial Meets Gen Z, we revisit Cool Runnings — and go beyond the movie to explore the real story of the Jamaican bobsled team.We talk about how the idea for the team actually began, what Disney changed for storytelling, and what the road to the 1988 Winter Olympics really looked like for a group of Jamaican athletes entering a sport they had never competed in before. From open tryouts and borrowed equipment to discipline, pride, and resilience, the real story is just as compelling as the film.This episode dives into the balance between underdog mythology and reality, the importance of representation, and why Cool Runnings still holds a special place in 90s pop culture. We also talk about what it meant for Jamaica to show up on the world stage — not to win medals, but to prove they belonged.🎙️ Episode 11 is streaming now.📸 Follow us on Instagram & Facebook for behind-the-scenes moments, clips, and episode extras.New episodes drop weekly.Be kind, rewind. 💛

    Episode 10 | Little Women, Secret Pockets, & New Year's Resolutions

    Happy New Year! This week on Millennial Meets Gen Z, we step into the snowy world of Little Women — a story about sisterhood, independence, creativity, and becoming yourself in a world that doesn’t always make room for women’s ambition.We talk about the book and why Little Women, written by Louisa May Alcott, was such an important introduction to early feminism. We dive into Alcott’s life, her ties to transcendentalism, her work as a women’s suffrage advocate, and how much of herself she poured into the character of Jo March.Along the way, Hannah shares her love of late-1800s fashion and her very real desire to bring those dresses back (especially the dramatic sleeves), while Allison admits she mostly wants the hidden pockets — because she’s basically a squirrel or a crow who likes to carry lucky little trinkets everywhere she goes.We also unpack how the film portrays marriage as partnership, women as thinkers and creators, and why Jo’s story still resonates generations later — especially when you understand how closely it mirrors Alcott’s own choices and beliefs.🎙️ Episode is streaming now.📸 Follow us on Instagram & Facebook for behind-the-scenes moments, photos, and episode extras.New episodes drop weekly.Be kind, rewind. 💛

Allison brings the nostalgia, while Hannah experiences the film for the first time — with plenty of very Gen Z observations.We talk through the rivalry between John Gustafson and Max Goldman, the arrival of Ariel, and why Hannah instantly connected with her character. Ariel’s independence, confidence, and warmth made her a standout, and Hannah quickly saw herself in her.We also explore how the film balances humor with unexpectedly tender themes like aging, friendship, regret, and choosing joy later in life, while highlighting the iconic performances from Jack Lemmon, Walter Matthau, Ann-Margret, Burgess Meredith, and more.Along the way, the episode veers delightfully off the rails with Hannah’s backpack being mistaken for a face by Zoom, a discussion of her extremely well-loved lucky stuffed dog, and a Gen Z interpretation of John’s fishing habits that briefly turns him into an “environmentalist baddie.”We close by teasing what’s next as we move into a Robin Williams chapter with Hook.New episodes drop weekly.Follow us on Instagram & Facebook for behind-the-scenes moments, photos, and more.

This leads into a broader conversation about cultural touchstones like Roots, Reading Rainbow, and the influence of LeVar Burton, and how storytelling helps shape empathy across generations.From Ninny’s stories at the nursing home to the heart of the Whistle Stop Café, this episode covers why Fried Green Tomatoes remains such a meaningful and emotionally layered film.Next up: Grumpy Old Men.New episodes drop weekly.Follow us on Instagram & Facebook for behind-the-scenes moments, photos, and more.
