  • Ep. 14 | Sister Act & Hannah’s Pop Culture Confessions
    Jan 31 2026

    This week on Millennial Meets Gen Z, we’re revisiting Sister Act, a movie packed with music, humor, heart, and one unforgettable choir transformation.

    But before we even get into the convent… our conversation takes a few unexpected detours. We clarify that Star Trek: The Next Generation is not the same as Star Wars, and we discover that Hannah doesn’t actually know the names of The Beatles. Consider this episode a pop culture education.

    We break down Deloris Van Cartier’s journey, the power of found community, and why the music in this movie still makes everyone want to clap along. We also talk about how Sister Act balances comedy with deeper themes of belonging, identity, and stepping into your voice.

    This episode is joyful, nostalgic, and full of laughs — with a few surprising confessions along the way.

  • Ep. 13 | Free Willy, Careers, & Too Many Harmonicas
    Jan 24 2026

    A 12-year-old street kid. A 3-ton orca whale.

    A friendship you could never imagine. An adventure Allison apparently forgot — and Hannah had never seen.

    This week on Millennial Meets Gen Z, we revisit Free Willy — a movie that shaped childhoods, sparked career dreams, and somehow led Allison to admit she owns… too many harmonicas.

    We talk about how Free Willy made so many kids want to become marine biologists, why its message around captivity and freedom still hits hard, and how it lands differently watching it now. This episode blends reflection, humor, orca facts, and hindsight as we look back on what this movie taught a generation.

  • Ep. 12 | Space Jam, Lola Bunny & Michael Jordan
    Jan 17 2026

    This week on Millennial Meets Gen Z, we head to Toon World to watch Space Jam, joined by a special guest — Allison’s best friend and fellow Millennial, Laurie.

    We talk about Michael Jordan at the height of his fame, his real-life pivot to baseball, and how that chapter shaped the movie’s story. From Monstars and cartoon physics to nonstop 90s energy, this episode is packed with nostalgia and laughs.

    Both Hannah and Laurie instantly loved Lola Bunny, and we dive into why her debut made such an impression then — and why she still sparks conversation now.

    This episode is part sports movie, part pop culture time capsule, and fully embraces a “yay, sports” level of analysis.

  • Episode 11 | Cool Runnings & the Real Jamaican Bobsled Team
    Jan 10 2026

    This week on Millennial Meets Gen Z, we revisit Cool Runnings — and go beyond the movie to explore the real story of the Jamaican bobsled team.

    We talk about how the idea for the team actually began, what Disney changed for storytelling, and what the road to the 1988 Winter Olympics really looked like for a group of Jamaican athletes entering a sport they had never competed in before. From open tryouts and borrowed equipment to discipline, pride, and resilience, the real story is just as compelling as the film.

    This episode dives into the balance between underdog mythology and reality, the importance of representation, and why Cool Runnings still holds a special place in 90s pop culture. We also talk about what it meant for Jamaica to show up on the world stage — not to win medals, but to prove they belonged.

  • Episode 10 | Little Women, Secret Pockets, & New Year's Resolutions
    Jan 3 2026

    Happy New Year!

    This week on Millennial Meets Gen Z, we step into the snowy world of Little Women — a story about sisterhood, independence, creativity, and becoming yourself in a world that doesn’t always make room for women’s ambition.

    We talk about the book and why Little Women, written by Louisa May Alcott, was such an important introduction to early feminism. We dive into Alcott’s life, her ties to transcendentalism, her work as a women’s suffrage advocate, and how much of herself she poured into the character of Jo March.

    Along the way, Hannah shares her love of late-1800s fashion and her very real desire to bring those dresses back (especially the dramatic sleeves), while Allison admits she mostly wants the hidden pockets — because she’s basically a squirrel or a crow who likes to carry lucky little trinkets everywhere she goes.

    We also unpack how the film portrays marriage as partnership, women as thinkers and creators, and why Jo’s story still resonates generations later — especially when you understand how closely it mirrors Alcott’s own choices and beliefs.

  • Episode 9 | Jumanji & FESTIVUS for the Rest of Us
    Dec 27 2025

    Happy Holidays! In this episode of Millennial Meets Gen Z: 90’s Edition, we roll the dice on Jumanji and turn the holiday season into a full-on 90s pop culture moment.

    Allison revisits a movie she saw in theaters as a kid, while Hannah watches Jumanji for the first time and immediately brings Gen Z logic into the chaos — including rooting for the lion. We talk groundbreaking effects, emotional moments, childhood fears, and why this movie still holds up decades later.

    Then we make it a Festivus two-fer. Hannah gets introduced to Seinfeld and the legendary holiday “for the rest of us,” complete with the aluminum pole, airing of grievances, and feats of strength.

  • Episode 8 | Hook
    Dec 20 2025

    In this episode of Millennial Meets Gen Z: 90’s Edition, we watch and discuss Hook, kicking off our Robin Williams era.

    Allison brings the nostalgia of growing up with this movie, while Hannah watches it for the first time, offering fresh Gen Z perspective on Neverland, the Lost Boys, Rufio, Tinkerbell, and Captain Hook. We talk through the moments that stayed with us, the ones that hit differently now, and why Hook continues to spark strong opinions decades later.

    Our conversation dives into themes of childhood, imagination, growing up, parenthood, and remembering who you were before life got busy — and how watching this movie across generations opens up new ways of understanding it.

    💛 We want to hear from you:What’s your Hook take? Love it, hate it, or complicated feelings? Join the conversation.

  • Episode 7 | Grumpy Old Men & Hannah's Blursed Backpack
    Dec 13 2025

    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.
