Remember the episode earlier this season where each co-host picked a 1986 GenX album and we got way too into it? Yeah… we’re doing that again. This time, it’s 1987—and no, we’re not out of opinions yet (not even close). Each of us picked an album from that iconic year, we all (mostly) gave ‘em a listen, and then lovingly (and loudly) overanalyzed them.
Expect deep tracks, random trivia no one asked for, and at least one “omg I totally forgot about that song!” moment. Oh, and as usual, we’ll be dragging our former teenage selves and probably uncovering something weird about each other along the way.
So press play, roll up those acid-wash jeans, and let’s get back to 1987—because clearly, we think it rocked.
