We continue to follow Audrey's struggles with substance -- and the inexplicable way she, Joey and Eddie all hop in a car from Boston to California (ah, to be young again). There's also tons of early 00's product placement, and an obsession with a giant TV from Best Buy.

For this episode we watched Dawson's Creek's:

S6, E13: Rock Bottom

S6, E14: Clean and Sober

Watch Dawson's Creek with us on Hulu or Amazon Prime.

We're kicking off our Xennial Girl Summer (2026) with one of our favorites from childhood, Beverly Cleary's Ramona Quimby: Age 8.

Delve into the research with us and join us for some discussion questions about Ramona, Yard Ape and the overall angsts of being a kid (revisited).

We thrifted the book and listened to it on audiobook.

Where were you the first time you heard Jamiroquai's "Canned Heat?"

Have you ever wished you could run off to ballet school and prove the cynics wrong?

If you associate Mandy Moore with romantic motorcycle rides through Manhattan, you might be a Xennial fan of Center Stage, and so are we.

Join us as we delve into the history of this 2000 dance movie that launched the careers of Amanda Schull, Sascha Radetsky and freakin' Zoe Saldana.
