The Cusp

Entertainment News, News

Ever feel like you don't fully fit into either the Millennial or Gen Z crowd? Same.
This podcast is a nostalgic, slightly unhinged trip through what it was like growing up somewhere between Millennials and Gen Z. We’re talking DCOMs, Nickelodeon, Tumblr, MySpace, flip phones, LimeWire, embarrassing Facebook statuses, skinny jeans, side parts, and all the questionable trends we somehow thought were cool.
So grab a Sunny D, put your phone on Do Not Disturb, and come relive the chaos of being a Zillennial. Because if you remember when the internet made that screeching noise, welcome.

    Show notes

    This week, I'm joined by my childhood best friend of 25 years, Andrew. We were supposed to talk about other topics, but we ended up spending an hour and a half talking all about The Sims. We explore the lore of the various households, go through every single expansion, stuff, and game pack (and freaking kits), and voice all of our frustrations with The Sims 4. Will we continue to play it forever though? Absolutely, we will!

  4. Degrassi Pt. 4

    Show notes

    BABY THERES A SHARK IN THE WATER!!! That's right guys, we're getting into season 10 and 11 of Degrassi. Now, these two seasons alone are over 80 episodes of Degrassi, so this episode is just seasons 10 and 11- and the drama might be even crazier than 1-9. I introduce you to my husband in my mind, Eli, discuss the most iconic promo of a television show EVER, and explain, multiple times, how the hell the timeline is working.
