In this episode of Millennial Meets Gen Z: 90’s Edition, we watch and discuss Grumpy Old Men (1993), a wintertime classic full of rivalry, romance, and small-town charm. Allison brings the nostalgia, while Hannah experiences the film for the first time — with plenty of very Gen Z observations.

We talk through the rivalry between John Gustafson and Max Goldman, the arrival of Ariel, and why Hannah instantly connected with her character. Ariel’s independence, confidence, and warmth made her a standout, and Hannah quickly saw herself in her.

We also explore how the film balances humor with unexpectedly tender themes like aging, friendship, regret, and choosing joy later in life, while highlighting the iconic performances from Jack Lemmon, Walter Matthau, Ann-Margret, Burgess Meredith, and more.

Along the way, the episode veers delightfully off the rails with Hannah’s backpack being mistaken for a face by Zoom, a discussion of her extremely well-loved lucky stuffed dog, and a Gen Z interpretation of John’s fishing habits that briefly turns him into an “environmentalist baddie.”

We close by teasing what’s next as we move into a Robin Williams chapter with Hook.

In this episode of Millennial Meets Gen Z: 90’s Edition, we watch and discuss Fried Green Tomatoes (1991). Allison brings the nostalgia and personal history of growing up with this film, while Hannah experiences the story for the first time.

We explore the film’s dual timelines, memorable characters, and standout performances while digging into its deeper themes — identity, resilience, chosen family, abuse, aging, and what it means to reclaim your voice.

We also address the more difficult conversations the movie brings up, including outdated language, the importance of acknowledging history without softening or erasing it, and how these moments should be discussed thoughtfully today. This leads into a broader conversation about cultural touchstones like Roots, Reading Rainbow, and the influence of LeVar Burton, and how storytelling helps shape empathy across generations.

From Ninny’s stories at the nursing home to the heart of the Whistle Stop Café, this episode covers why Fried Green Tomatoes remains such a meaningful and emotionally layered film.

In this episode of Millennial Meets Gen Z: 90’s Edition, we wrap up our witchy movie series with the one and only Practical Magic. Allison brings the nostalgia of growing up with the Owens sisters, and Hannah experiences the magic, the chaos, and the questionable decisions for the very first time.

We walk through the curse, the love spell, Jimmy Angelov’s unforgettable energy, midnight margaritas, beetle omens, sisterhood, and the coven finale that brings the whole story together. Along the way, we talk about the movie’s themes — grief, intuition, belonging, and the power of women supporting women — and why this story still resonates today.

And to close out our witchy run, we pair the film with the perfect song: “Goodbye Earl” by The Chicks, which fits the plot a little too well.

Grab your broom, grab your lavender, and join us as we revisit this 90’s classic through two generations’ eyes.
