Episode 20: Now I'm All Messed Up
PREVIOUSLY ON X-MEN!
Um. I mean….Previously on Talking Like A Teen, Adrian and Ashley wrap up their 2020 playlists. They discuss Adrian’s 2020 playlist, diving deep into how anxiety-inducing music is good maybe, (because you need a soundtrack to destroy robots that are chasing you around a mall sometimes while rescuing a teenage girl), music that inspires you to do crime is always good (like trying to blow up a chemical plant, military missile facility, or US Senator Robert Edward Kelly’s brain), and that every playlist needs a song from a Sad White Lady (JEAN GRAY JEAN GRAY JEAN GRAY.) We learn some lessons from Adrian’s playlist as well, like how we should trust our family to not be assassins targeting political figures, sometimes we think rip-off Bowie sewer-dwellers are dodgy but they’re ok, and don’t get attached to that weird guy you’ve never seen in any of the comics before. Like other episodes, allegories for racism, classism, and sexism are rampant throughout--as well as a connecting storyline. Pretty deep for a children’s cartoon show--I mean...um...podcast episode. Obviously. Because we’re only talking about one thing here. Anyway...THIS ONE’S FOR YOU, MORPH.
(All of this stuff is literally from the first season of the X-Men cartoon and holy shit, we just let kids watch whatever in the 90s, didn’t we?)
Talking Like A Teen is a comedy and pop culture podcast in which two friends (Adrian King and Ashley Burgy) discuss the things that matter most to a pair of music snobs: the music of their formative years, hockey, and their healthy obsession with Tegan and Sara. We’d love to chat music, sports, or other pop culture mayhem on social media--see our links below for more details!
