Project GenX

This episode we don’t really have a plan. So that means you get an hour and a half of us rambling about comic book, WandaVision, the multiverse, the hierarchy of the Marvel Netflix shows, why Dave loves Suicide Squad, why Alan doesn’t like the Matrix, the campy brilliance of Riverdale, classic video games and A LOT of Nicolas Cage. And our friend the train is back!! So follow us on social media and don't forget to like, share, rate and review. Thanks!! Facebook Instagram [email protected]

We start off good then it just devolves into chaos and sadness. join us a see look at the Top 10 songs on significant birthdays. And of course we wind up complaining about technology and more before it's over. Yay.... Facebook Instagram [email protected]

Sometimes an artist comes along and remakes a song you really love and they butcher it (we're looking at you Miley Cyrus). And then sometimes (very rarely but sometimes) they take that song to a whole new level. The same can also be said for sequels to our favorite movies. This episode we tackle a few songs that were remade better than the original and movies with sequels that are better than the first movie. And of course we get sidetracked along the way and wind up detouring through all kinds of nonsense. For a comprehensive look at the songs we discuss go to our YouTube page and check out the playlist for this episode. Also we shouted out a couple podcast recommendations, here are the links: GenXGrownUp The Untitled GenX Podcast And as always follow us on social media: Facebook Instagram [email protected]

Even we here at the Project GenX Podcast are capable of showing our sensitive side. Granted that side served with a heaping helping of sarcasm and derision but it is sensitive none the less. For this episode we have gotten in touch with a gentler piece of our being and created playlists of songs for you to enjoy this Valentine's Day. Along the way we also share some movie recommendations and of course we detour into the virtues of "candy holidays" as well as why Alan doesn't like many, many artists on Dave's list. Plus there's talk of Titanic. So join us and enjoy our playlists of what one grumpy and one idiotic GenXer thinks is appropriate baby making music.

Christmas. A wonderful and heartwarming time of the year filled with explosions, orgies, cons, casinos and mutated super villains. That's right, we are talking about Christmas movies that you would never see on the Hallmark Channel. We are also joined by our friend and fellow freak show family member Barry Webb as we wind through Shane Black's entire movie catalog, debate whether to not Die Hard is a Christmas movie and settle in on the Denis Leary of it all. We're not talking about linens (or Bolivia) and we don't wanna change your mind. So settle in with a warm cup of coco (or a scotch on the rocks) and enjoy the madness.
