“It’s not a toomah.”

This week on Millennial Meets Gen Z: 90’s Edition, we’re diving into Kindergarten Cop (1990)—the action-comedy that gave us Arnold Schwarzenegger as a kindergarten teacher… and somehow made it work.

Before we get into the movie, Allison shares a very real self-defense story that didn’t exactly go as planned (featuring an unexpected 2nd degree black belt 😅).

Then we rewind Kindergarten Cop—following Detective John Kimble as he goes undercover in a classroom full of chaos to track down a dangerous criminal.

We’re talking:
💥 Arnold’s iconic one-liners
🎒 The chaos of kindergarten (and why it actually works)
😂 The moments that still hold up
🎬 The mix of action, comedy, and heart

Plus—Hannah’s first real introduction to Arnold, and whether this one still lands today.

Allison revisits this powerful story, while Hannah experiences it for the first time—meeting Erin, Ed Masry, and the real people behind one of the largest direct-action lawsuits in U.S. history.

We’re talking:

• The real-life case behind the movie
• The fight against PG&E and contaminated water in Hinkley, California

“Ahh… Unagi.” 🍣

This week on Millennial Meets Gen Z: 90’s Edition, we’re kicking things off with one of Allison’s all-time favorite Friends episodes—The One with Unagi—before diving into our movie of the week, Man of the House (1995).

Hannah gets her first real lesson in “Unagi” (or… maybe just chaos), as we break down one of the most quotable Friends storylines—Ross, Rachel, Phoebe, and the art of total awareness.

Then we rewind Man of the House, a 90s family comedy starring Chevy Chase, Jonathan Taylor Thomas, and Farrah Fawcett—where step-parenting, sabotage, and a group of very committed Indian Guides collide.

We’re talking:

• “Unagi” vs… actual self-defense
• The chaos of Friends side plots (Joey, Carl… we need answers)
• Step-parent dynamics and 90s family storytelling
• Bow and arrows, wasp nests, and unexpectedly heartfelt moments

From sitcom lessons to 90s movie nostalgia, this episode is a mix of humor, chaos, and a few surprisingly real takeaways.
