Jon, George, and Mo thought it would be a great idea to bring their unpaid intern (and Mo’s daughter) Rachel with them to experience a brand new type of escape room. They didn’t realize that this was part of something much bigger, and more dangerous, than they could ever have imagined. Their only way out was through — and not all of them will escape.  This is part one of a three-part series.  Patreon » patreon.com/genxgrownup Discord » GenXGrownUp.com/discord Facebook » fb.me/GenXGrownUp Twitter » GenXGrownUp.com/twitter Website » GenXGrownUp.com Podcast » GenXGrownUp.com/pod Merchandise » GenXGrownUp.com/merch Theme: “Grown Up” by Beefy » beefyness.com iTunes » itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/genxgrownup-podcast/id1268365641 Google » play.google.com/music/listen#/ps/Iuthetoh4i5abybbnn4em36icwi Pocket Casts » pca.st/8iuL Stitcher » www.stitcher.com/s?fid=146720&refid=stpr TuneIn » tunein.com/radio/GenXGrownUp-Podcast-p1020342/ Spotify » spoti.fi/2TB4LR7 iHeart » www.iheart.com/podcast… Amazon Music » amzn.to/33IKfEK Show Notes Get the Friday the 13th Collection! » amzn.to/2wo2UF9 (affiliate) See Jaws! » amzn.to/2HrEa8a (affiliate) See Animal House! » amzn.to/3jiiwAo (affiliate) See Ferris Bueller’s Day Off! » amzn.to/2wo2UF9 (affiliate) Kmart Quietly Prepares To Close More Of Its Remaining Locations » bit.ly/3jptQdO  9 Things You Should Never Do to Your Chain Saw » bit.ly/2ThgGFg Get a Chain Saw! » amzn.to/2wo2UF9 (affiliate) Get a Freddy Kruger Glove » amzn.to/3jqToHH (affiliate) Email the show » podcast@genxgrownup.com Visit us on YouTube » GenXGrownUp.com/yt Special ThanksTo our “Unpaid” intern, Rachel!

Back in the 70s & 80s, nothing sold a product better than a great mascot or spokesperson. Everyone knew Mr. Wipple, Chalie the Tuna, and the Maytag repairman, and they became almost synonymous with the products they represented. We thought that they’d be around forever but times change and many of our beloved characters have been replaced. In this Backtrack we remember some of our favorites and talk about what made them so memorable.

A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away, a swashbuckling science fiction film came out of nowhere to capture our imaginations and change filmmaking forever.

Set in a galaxy ruled by an evil empire, Princess Leia, who is part of the resistance, has plans for the Empire’s ultimate weapon: the Death Star. She is pursued by the evil Darth Vader. She hides the plans with two droids, R2-D2 and C-3PO, who escape to the planet Tatooine. Leia is captured by Vader. They eventually meet up with Luke Skywalker while they search for Obi-Wan Kenobi, to whom Leia directed them to deliver the plans. They hire Han Solo and Chewbacca to fly them to Alderaan to deliver the plans, but when they get there, the planet has already been destroyed by the Death Star. Their ship gets captured by the Death Star, but they manage to hide and while figuring out their escape, realize that Leia is being held there. They free Leia and during the escape Kenobi allows himself to be killed by Darth Vader. They escape with the plans, rejoin the rebels, and discover a weakness in the Death Star. They attack the Death Star and just before Darth Vader is about to kill Luke, Han Solo shows up and saves him. Luke fires the amazing shot that destroys the Death Star, but Vader escapes.

In 1930, a ninth planet was added to the list of planets in our solar system. Then in 2006, it was removed and reclassified as a “dwarf planet.” For some of the folks who grew up in the 1970s and 1980s, this was sacrilege!

Forty years ago, Whitney Houston released her debut album that introduced the world to one of the most legendary voices of all time. With chart-topping hits like *”Saving All My Love for You,” “How Will I Know,” and “Greatest Love of All,” this album wasn’t just a success, it was a cultural moment. In this episode, we walk through the album track by track and explore how Whitney’s powerhouse vocals set the stage for a career that would change pop and R&B forever. (May contain some explicit language.)

The ’80s featured fast music, sporty cars, TV in every home, and new materials that changed the world. Everything was somehow bigger, brighter, and bolder than any decade before, and that included fashion. For both men and women, ’80s fashion created some iconic looks that we won’t soon forget, and in this Backtrack, for better or worse, we’re going to remind you of how we all dressed in the ’80s!

In 1982, faith in the Star Trek franchise was waning. The lackluster performance of 1979’s Motion Picture could have marked the end for Kirk, Spock, & company. But just in the nick of time, a second film hit theaters and it was not only good, but so remarkable that it set box office records and re-invigorated the entire franchise. In this episode, we’re celebrating the fortieth anniversary of one of the best sci-fi films of all time, Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan!

Today, shopping malls are struggling to keep their doors open, but a few decades ago they were booming. To many kids who grew up in the ’70s and ’80s, the mall was a favorite hangout, an entertainment center, a cafeteria, and even a date night destination! In this episode, our parents have dropped us off at the front entrance where we start reminiscing about the Generation X mall experience.

The movie-going experience growing up GenX couldn’t be more different than the experience today. Waiting on long lines for hours, racing to get the good seats, only being able to get a soda, popcorn, and candy, and mostly relying on word of mouth and a few reviews to help you select what to see were the norm. In this Backtrack, we have a ton of fun talking about that experience, how the movies themselves have changed, and how they compare to today!

On August 3rd, 1983, less than a year before the release of Purple Rain, the attendees of a benefit concert for the Minnesota Dance Theatre, in Minneapolis, were witnesses to history. On that night, in the very first live performance by Prince and the newly minted Revolution, the public heard for the first time many of the songs that would, just 10 months later, thrust Prince into legend and mark a tectonic shift in the musical landscape that would reverberate for decade. In this Backtrack, we look back at, remember, and debate one of the greatest soundtracks of all time – Purple Rain.
