We’re remembering Dolly Parton—one of those stars who seemed to be everywhere when we were growing up. From “9 to 5” and “Islands in the Stream” to movies, television, and a career that just kept growing, Dolly became part of the soundtrack of Generation X. This time, we’re looking back at her life, her generosity, and the legacy she leaves behind.

We’re heading back 40 years to the summer of 1986 and one unforgettable journey along the railroad tracks. **Stand By Me** gave us four friends, a search for a missing boy, and a coming-of-age story filled with humor, danger, and the kind of friendships that seem like they’ll last forever. So here on its 40th anniversary, we return to Castle Rock to see why this story of friendship and growing up still feels so painfully familiar.

Most Saturday mornings during our GenX youth were spent watching cartoons. One in particular brought our favorite DC heroes & villains to life and left us longing to visit the Hall of Justice! In this Backtrack, we remember the classic ABC cartoon series, Super Friends!

A fake sick day, a borrowed Ferrari, a principal on the warpath, and one unforgettable parade through downtown Chicago. In this Backtrack, we’re revisiting Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, John Hughes’ classic 1986 comedy about skipping school, seizing the moment, and somehow making it all look effortless. Forty years later, we’ll talk about why Ferris, Cameron, Sloane, and the city of Chicago still connect with Gen X fans — and why life really does move pretty fast.

Martial arts. Ancient sorcerers. Monsters. Kurt Russell driving a big rig. Somehow, Big Trouble in Little China managed to cram all of that into one unforgettable movie. This time, we’re revisiting John Carpenter’s cult classic and discussing why Gen X fans still can’t get enough of Jack Burton and the Pork-Chop Express. From its endlessly quotable dialogue to its unique blend of action, comedy, fantasy, and horror, we’ll explore what makes this one of the most beloved cult films of the 1980s.
