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.

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.

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.
