I am joined once again by RealThomas777 ostensibly to talk about the movie Kids, but we mostly discuss life in the 90’s, gen X and the generational divide with millennials and zoomers. We conclude that despite all the horeshit coming out the mainstream, mostly perpetrated by Millennials, growing up in America now may be the best its been in a long time. I do like to romanticize the 90’s, but it was very grim in a lot of ways. I did, however, have a really good f*****g time.
While I don’t think Kids is a “good” movie, I do recommend everyone watch it, because things very much were like that for us then, its a great slice of life and a window to a completely different world.
Here is the episode of J. Burden’s show I reference that inspired me to invite Thomas on for this discussion (fairly certain this episode is not on substack?):
