  • September 1990 Pop Culture: Movie Sequels, James Marshall & The Hothouse Flowers

    September 1990 Pop Culture: Movie Sequels, James Marshall & The Hothouse Flowers
    Jun 11 2024
    There's a lot of pop culture in the September 1990 issue that will need revision sooner or later. Like: a report on the cancellation of 21 Jump Street, just weeks before its revival in syndication. And: making James Marshall One To Watch off the strength of one season of Twin Peaks, before he went off the grid. Or: an extensive feature on The Hothouse Flowers, perhaps to justify the expense of whoever paid for Christina to go to Dublin and interview them. And while giving Die Hard 2 a mere 2 stars is, of course, a matter to taste...it's not taste we share. All this and much more awaits you in our latest podcast!

  • September 1990 Teen Life: Tricking Boys, Puppy Mills & Painting

    September 1990 Teen Life: Tricking Boys, Puppy Mills & Painting
    May 21 2024
    The first thing you need to know about this episode is that there was an issue with one of the tracks. It doesn't matter who did what: the result is that Dave had to use a backup to the backup, which means this is going to be a more rough-and-ready version of the podcast than you're used to. We're sorry about that, but hey: it'll be all the more enjoyable when the next episode reaches you with its usual level of polish. MOVING ON: the September issue's Teen Life topics include gangs, puppy mills, and a bedroom painting project your parents are probably never going to let you do. Fortunately, we also get a report from Kim about which boy-meeting strategies worked best at a recent party attended by several eligible Sassy staffers. We'll also touch on braces, veins, a conversion to Islam in RECORD speed, which girls are allowed to dress "provocatively," and an annoyingly brief Stuff You Wrote. Grab your Rollerblades (but put on a helmet first) and join us!
