Wish It Was The 90s

Freaks and Geeks

Sam and Simon relive their childhoods by taking a trip down memory lane to discuss Freaks and Geeks with friend of the podcast, Cam Paulik. They rewatched the 1999 classic and have thoughts on most of the star studded cast. Did they watch on dubbed VHS tapes or did they borrow bubble wrapped DVDs for this rewatch? Neither, all episodes available on TVNZ+ for those New Zealand listeners.

X-Men '97 | Episode 2: Inferno / Lifedeath

Pat takes a well-earned break leaving Sean and Sam to discuss episodes 3 & 4 of #XMen97. The main topic of conversation is the breakneck speed at which the show is churning through storylines and whether or not we can keep up. Questions are asked about a potential downturn in quality and always, a #Mojo and #Jubilee themed episode will do nothing for our crew. However, comparisons were made to Mojo's weight loss of Jonah Hill and Fat Bastard. Truly #Storm continues to be a highlight, we fizz for #Forge and his short-shorts and Sean has to tirelessly explain the #GoblinQueen and the Summers family tree.

Clueless
