Moving on. Let's give this one a go.

I thought I would just love this, being in my teens and early twenties during that decade. But instead it was just ok. I think there just wasn‘t enough for me about each song so the impact was diluted. It was fun to remember some stuff from the way back machine, though!

Soubhiville That‘s too bad. I would have expected it to be majorly nostalgic. At least there are other books along the same line that did better. 2d

Wow, reviewing this list of movies brought back so many memories! I did this challenge with my hubby since he has a better memory for these things than I do. 😅 We still watch some of these periodically & they never get old. Favourites in no particular order are Ferris Bueller‘s Day Off, Raiders of the Lost Ark, Die Hard (DEFINITELY a Christmas movie 😂), & Back to the Future. Thanks for putting this list together @dabbe ! #TLT #ThreeListThursday

dabbe You and your hubby kicked butt! Bravo! 🤩🤗😘 2w

UwannaPublishme Wow! You two are quite the movie buffs. I must check this out with Craig! 2w
PurpleyPumpkin @UwannaPublishme Honestly, this was a blast! Rob and I started dating in the late 80s and we were always going to movies! Or renting them on VHS. 😜 2w
UwannaPublishme Craig and I did the same! 😂 We met in 1990 and we each had quite a collection of VHS tapes. I hate to admit, we still have most of them! 😳📼 2w

Loved 90s music and still do. (Hi Evan!) This fond look back was a bit too scattered to be a full pick.

So, I have to thank @JenReadsAlot for bringing this one to my attention! I had listened to the podcast for awhile, but didn't realize there was an accompanying book/audiobook -- and I'm so glad I finally had the chance to listen.

My tween/teen years were in the '90s, so these songs definitely hit home for me (although, surprisingly, there were some I wasn't familiar with AT ALL). Still, it was a fun trip down memory lane.

I came to Mean Girls very late for a millennial (in my 30s) but ended up really liking the movie once I got there. The musical soundtrack is great too. This book is a great overview of the movie's genesis, production, and legacy. There are even a few photos, which I wasn't expecting. I would recommend this if you liked the movie.

I like a book with a playlist — and this one has a watchlist! I enjoyed this critical (yet loving) study of the “trancestry” of tv/film. It‘s also validating to see cinematic representations of people I care about IRL. More, please.

What an insightful look into the world of Barbie!

This book was originally published in the 90s, but this edition has a new preface which does discuss the Barbie movie. In the preface, the author also discusses that she left the book unchanged so it‘s a large reflection of the 90s.

#BlameItOnLitsy

Ironically,* I found out* about this podcast on Litsy, and now I‘m 100% ignoring my audiobook for it. 😆 That‘s not supposed to be the point of this app! But it‘s so delightfully nostalgic & addictive.

*Also ironically, the first two episodes I listened to focused on Alanis Morissette and The Gin Blossoms, responsible for “Ironic” and “Found Out About You” (respectively).

Link to podcast in the comments!

ravenlee Gin Blossoms 💕😍 still one of my favorite bands ever. 3mo
TheKidUpstairs Welp, I know what I'll be listening to for the next while! 3mo

ImperfectCJ I like this podcast, too! My spouse and I listen on the way driving our kid to/from college. The Greenday episode was great for punk history, and I really enjoyed the Mazzy Star one (which was mostly about Low). The Cake one was quite impactful, and we listened to the Pearl Jam episode this past weekend. It keeps my Spotify playlists interesting. :-) 3mo
batsy Oh no, I didn't know about this podcast and now I think I'm about to lose hours of my life as well 😁 2mo
monalyisha @TheKidUpstairs @batsy Sorry/not sorry! 😅😆 2mo
monalyisha @ImperfectCJ I keep thinking about whether I should skip around to songs &/or artists I‘m most excited to hear about or just keep going linearly. If I listen in order, it will feel like such a deserved treat when I get to anticipated episodes, which is kind of nice. Delayed gratification. 😉 Not that the listening experience, in general, isn‘t gratifying! 2mo
ImperfectCJ @monalyisha I'm a total skipper. No regrets! 2mo
