🎧 NEW PODCAST EPISODE
Episode 142 – Forty years
Roger’s recovering from a throat infection, Andy’s just turned 40, and both are contemplating how it all went so fast. In this episode, Andy and Roger embark on an ambitious year-by-year cultural tour through the major pop culture and historical events of their lifetimes—starting with 1985’s Back to the Future and ending in 2025 with AI and global disillusionment.
Expect reflections on:
Chernobyl, Cobain, and Obama
Die Hard, The Matrix, and Mean Girls
The iPhone, Gangnam Style, and Google
The fall of the Berlin Wall and the rise of Trump
Whether Nirvana was actually any good
Why Jurassic Park still slaps
And how The Simpsons is the Shakespeare of their generation
It's a nostalgic and occasionally absurd audit of growing up in the shadow of late capitalism, blockbuster movies, and dial-up internet—just two guys trying to remember what happened between floppy disks and ChatGPT.
