You really had to be a particular age for this aspect of 1998 I loved with every fiber of my being, and my guest - Bradley Butin of 'The Fandemic' and 'Pre-venge of the Nerds' - was just graduating high school and about to head off into the military. So perhaps he wasn’t too focused... Continue Reading →
Like I said in the previous year, I love how ridiculous the ‘90s were. So far we’ve seen proof of this as songs like “Macarena” and “Humpty Hump” were hits, people wanted nothing but cheesy family sitcoms on Friday nights, and theaters were filled with people wondering if Arnold Schwarzenegger could be a ‘Kindergarten Cop.’...

Long before social media crazes featuring dances that mirror air traffic controllers, we were dancing just for the fun of it. We didn’t care if it went viral. Mostly because that term only related to a cold. We just wanted to dance, and dance we did in 1996 to a song that inspired a routine... Continue Reading →
To say Barbie was a ‘90s toy would be well, wrong as Barbara Millicent Roberts came to be back in March 1959. However, despite having almost 40 years to her name before 1995, it’s this year that meant so much to me as someone who spent most of my free time engulfed in a life... Continue Reading →
One of the things I love most about the ‘90s is that it wasn’t that serious. I mean, I was no more than 12 during that decade so the world felt fun to me no matter what but at the same time the pop culture of the ‘90s - and part of the very early... Continue Reading →
If there is one thing that 1993 was going to do, it was release some of the best movies of the decade from ‘Jurassic Park’ to ‘Mrs. Doubtfire,’ it’s hard to deny that pure fact. It’s something Diandre Robinson, host of Mass-Debaters and fellow member of the I Did Not Make These Ranking Podcast Network,... Continue Reading →
Always a pleasure getting to catch up with drag performer and mutant fanatic D’Manda Martini, especially when we’re talking about everything from ‘3 Ninjas’ to the beauty of the walkman, but in our chat, we also got into ‘Bébé's Kids.’ Growing up no one other than the other two Black kids in school knew what...

The year was 1991 and it would take another couple before ‘Drop Dead Fred’ became my favorite movie of all time. So despite that year delivering ‘Beauty and the Beast,’ ‘Bryan Adams, and ‘Step by Step,’ there was nothing that came about in 1991 that’s closer to my heart than the following movie because as...

Still in the early stages of understanding life in 1990, pop culture was far from my radar. I was babbling words and apparently always asking “why,” a favorite word of mine both then and now. So I wasn’t aware of ‘Captain Planet’ when it premiered in September of that year. Thankfully though, we had yet... Continue Reading →
Last year co-active life coach Karen Jane DeWitt and I bonded over our love of the blonde bombshell of the ‘90s for youths who wanted nothing more than to spend their Scholastic Book Fair money on anything and everything revolving around Hanson. Only Karen Jane DeWitt was so much cooler than me because while she... Continue Reading →
