The Jetson’s
I was more of a Jetson’s fan growing up than the Flintstones. I loved thinking about the future and what it could offer to us. Just one invention could revolutionize the home and family. What was nice about this cartoon is that even with all the futuristic, forward thinking about what life would be, the…
Dazed and Confused
Aerosmith summoning Sweet Emotion at the beginning on this film sets the tone for the country’s bicentennial. Just like the country, some characters are standing up for their freedoms and others striving for their independence. This film about friends, Fridays, and rites of passage was on repeat during my high school years. Enjoy it here: https://amzn.to/2zpjEi3.
Reality Bites
Oh, Winona! This grounded, yet enterprising film spoke of 90’s culture in ways no other film could.

Captain Caveman!
What a time to be alive where you can purchase your favorite cartoon! I know that I would stay up late just to watch reruns of this cartoon as it wasn’t the most popular at the time but I know holds a spot in everyone’s heart, especially when he yells, “Captain Caveman!” Enjoy the entire…
Golden Girls are Golden Comedy
The word nostalgia means Golden Girls for me. Whether it was watching the show in real-time with my Grandma at her home in Lincoln, NE or watching reruns after school while doing chores or even currently late night viewing helping me laugh as I go to sleep, the Golden Girls was a trailblazer in the…
