When We Were Young - An 80s And 90s Pop Culture Podcast

Hey, kids! Do you like cartoon mice? Catchy songs? And lots and lots of death? If your answer to these questions is "yep, yep, yep!," then have we got the podcast for you! In Episode 5, When We Were Young revisits our childhoods through the filmography of Don Bluth, a former Disney animator gone rogue whose lifelong rivalry with the Mouse House makes for one fascinating tale. So let's reminisce about the forgotten link between VHS tapes and fast food, ponder why so many kiddie flicks revolve around being violently orphaned, and see how old faves like The Secret Of NIMH, An American Tail, Land Before Time, All Dogs Go To Heaven, and Anastasia hold up against Disney's 80s and 90s offerings. (Hint: the Bluth films have much more poverty and murder.) When We Were Young is a podcast devoted to the most beloved pop culture of our formative years (roughly 1980-2000). Join us for a look back to the past with a critical eye on how these movies, songs, shows, and more hold up now. You can follow us on Twitter
