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!

I got 71% not too bad.

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
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.

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).
