Growing Up MillennialPOLIN, or Bridgerton Season 3We're taking a break from our regularly scheduled programming to talk about season 3 of a teeny tiny not at all popular current show on Netflix: Bridgerton.

Get a Clue (2002) is streaming on Disney+ (and in our hearts), as Helene and Adri already know. Join your hosts on a journey through improbable journalistic standards and publishing schedules, questions on how a journalist can afford to live such a luxe life, and wondering what Lexi Gold's mom does for work (because let's be real, she's the real breadwinner in this family).

Growing Up MillennialThe Thirteenth Year (1999)It's the quintessential coming-of-age story of a boy who begins puberty and finds out that he's actually *checks notes* a merman?! Join Adri and Helene as they gab about the 1999 DCom, The Thirteenth Year. Filled with doppelgangers of actually more famous actors of the time, this gem of a movie also made Helene and Adri wonder... Are there mermaid (merthey/them?) OBGYNs?

Growing Up MillennialZenon: Girl of the 21st Century (1999)Join Helene and Adri as they visit 2047 with Zenon: Girl of the 21st Century (1999). Helene and Adri talk about how this 1999 movie shows the future as a still capitalist nightmare where 13 year-olds are master hackers. Are they just born with all these technogical skills? If so, when does this start? Did this 1999 DCom foresee the future? And are we buying it? Give us a listen and find out. Pass us a note in class.

Helene and Adri talk about how this film was horny, weirdly prophetic, and possibly the genesis of one of the greatest technological scams of the last ten years, Theranos. Did this 1999 DCom foresee the future? And are we buying it? Give us a listen and find out. Pass us a note in class.

Growing Up MillennialFirst Ever Gummies (AKA the Gummy Awards for Season 1)Welcome to the first ever Gummies, also known as the Gummy Awards. As we wrap up our Olsen twins-fueled journey through the past, we are discussing the best (and not so great) moments of the rewatch that we have studiously completed. Hosts Adri and Helene talk about the fashion we couldn’t stop thinking about, who the best parents were in these movies, our favorite (and not so favorite) characters, and all that. They also talk about the media we’ve been consuming, including the Disney+ Percy Jackson series, Sex and the City, their shared love for Law & Order: Spec...2024-02-021h 28

Growing Up MillennialIt Takes Two (1995)Here's the episode that was never supposed to happen: It Takes Two (1995). A departure from our Dualstar Entertainment Produced-Journey, this film starring the Olsen Twins is a throwback for the ages. Adri is joined by our resident White Man from our White Man's Corner, Seth, to talk about the shenanigans two identical strangers get up to when their world is threatened by adoption to what amounts to be a workhouse (Amanda) and an evil stepmother (Allysa). They get into some prince and the pauper-like scenarios. Like in Billboard Dad (1998), the girls hatch a matchmaking plan that they hope will s...2024-01-241h 20

Growing Up MillennialBillboard Dad (1998)One more for the road! We're back with an episode we originally didn't plan on making: Billboard Dad (1998). In this Dualstar/Tapestry production, tweens Tess (Mary-Kate Olsen) and Emily (Ashley Olsen) try to hook up their dad via a reliable dating service: billboards. Honestly, the premise is in the name of the movie. Join us for a romp through Venice (not Venice Beach, just Venice), where sundaes are served in the tallest possible glass, eyesight varies from scene to scene (looking at you, optometrist Brooke), and Van Ghogh's Ear is not the name of a Spanish pop band (iykyk).2024-01-182h 28

Growing Up MillennialTYSM - You are OUR Hero(es) & Heroine(s)It had to happen sometime... No new episode today. That's the bad news. The good news? Initially, we planned to end this season with New York Minute (2004), BUT we’ve added two more movies to the roster of our seeing double season. Next time, on Growing up Millennial, we’re embarking on a matchmaking group project as we try to find a date for the twins’ movie dad in the 1998 movie Billboard Dad. Helene and Adri would like to say thank you to all of you who’ve listened to our show and left us 5-star ra...2024-01-1007 min

Growing Up MillennialBonus: Dualstar DatingJoin Adri and your resident white man (from White Man Corner fame), Seth, as they talk about all the boyfriends we've seen in our Dualstar journey so far. They talk about challenging stereotypes, vacation movies, and engaging with local culture (or lack of engagement with the local culture, iykyk). Seth also learns a valuable geography lesson, which is surprising since he just casually let Adri know off mic that he won something called a geography bee (which I'm assuming is like a spelling bee but with maps) when he was 10 years old.

Growing Up MillennialThe Challenge (2003)Did you ever want to star in a reality TV competition? Well, this is your lucky day because Helene and Adri are talking about the 2003 Dualstar Entertainment Production The Challenge. Join your hosts in their spiritual (ahem, TV) journey to Mexico as teenagers (from 2003) battle it out for scholarship money (those student loans can be a drag, iykyk). Starring Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, this movie has the same name as one of MTV's most popular reality TV shows (though, in all fairness, the contestants are plucked after their stints on other reality TV shows). Tune in to hear how t...2023-12-202h 11

Growing Up MillennialSeason 1 TrailerSeason 1 is Launching November 1st, 2023 Season one of Growing Up Millennial holds a really special place in our hearts: the direct-to-DVD movies made by the Olsen Twins in the '90s and early aughts. These films were a staple of our combined childhood (even with our seven-year age difference), and Adri and Helene are here to dissect, discuss, and reminisce about all of them. We go through the plot, the fashion, the feminism, and we even give a voice to the voiceless in podcasting, the straight white cis dude. Even though we want t...2023-10-1101 min

Well, that and Sacrifice. This small little chapter in the Potter series is jam-packed with the intersection between Violence and Sacrifice. It made us think about gun culture, the military, and abortion bans. What do all these things have in common and how do they relate to Harry, Wormtail, Cedric, and Voldemort?
