The 1990's gave us grunge, mid-tempo jangly guitar based pop songs, Friends ... Frasier ... Seinfeld and the big time classic rock reunion. On the latest GenX Show Jeff talks about the heavily anticipated reunion of Jimmy Page and Robert Plant. A union that produced a good unplugged live concert with an Egyptian orchestra called Unledded, a massive year long tour with an orchestra and disappointingly a half baked album that needed more over everything ... Walking into Clarksdale in 1998. An album that could and should have been better than it was. Enjoy the show!

1988 was THE year Jeff became a horror movie fan. Chief among those movies Jeff adored was the camp horror classic Killer Klowns from Outer Space. Don't devote a ton of brain power to trying to "break down" the meaning of this movie. It does what it says on the tin, as the British might say. Still one of his favorite movies of all time. In the second half Jeff talks about the year 1988 and how it formed what he liked in horror movies from then out. Enjoy the show!

Back to the Egg in 1979 is Paul McCartney and Wings last hurrah as a "band". After multiple lineup changes, cancelled tours and a brand new multi-million dollar contract with Columbia records Wings recorded their last in a Scottish castle. What came out was a very New Wave influenced album that was reviled by critics and disliked by McCartney himself despite going platinum.On the latest GenX Show Jeff talks about one of his favorite and most misunderstood Paul McCartney albums and how a drug bust in Japan ended the band Wings. Enjoy the show!

On the latest episode of The GenX Show, Jeff talks about how his childhood/teenage love of the one and only Paul McCartney turned him into a music obsessive. Jeff also goes over how two of McCartney's most "unloved" album's (Off the Ground and Back to the Egg) are his personal favorites. From recording off the radio, to buying tapes then CD's Jeff goes through it all ... including owning a vinyl of one of McCartney's "failed" projects from the 80's. Enjoy the show!!

On the latest GenX Show, Jeff talks about how his own generation's rejection of being "sold" contributed greatly in the notion that Generation X is the "forgotten" one. How our unease with being marketed to and aversion to selling out left Hollywood, the music business and much more left us to sell to our younger brothers and sisters ... the millennials. Enjoy the show!

The 1984 Richard Franklin directed movie, Cloak and Dagger from 1984 is on the surface a typical cold war kids movie about a kid who was in the wrong place at the wrong time. Dig deeper, however and you see that it's really about a kid who's dad is his hero. Featuring wonderful performances from Henry Thomas and Dabney Coleman (in maybe his best acting performance) it's a kids movie with tons of heart. About fractured family, about connecting with your kid, about seeing what you shouldn't and getting caught up in international intrigue. It has it all. Well worth a watch before you listen to the podcast.Enjoy the show!

Jeff is back with another Ray Bradbury special. This time it's a Jonathan Pryce, Jason Robards and Pam Grier led movie about a father trying to be a good dad despite feeling old ... oh and an evil, borderline satanic carnival that is coming to town to make you a part of their exhibit. No big deal. Dark Disney at is purest and most meddling. Something Wicked this Way Comes is a great story with great acting that was sorta undermined by Disney's lack of confidence. Enjoy the show!

1982's The Electric Grandmother, based on a teleplay/Twilight Zone episode/Short Story from Ray Bradbury, is a curiosity from the golden era of childrens movies/enternatinment in the early 80's. A long-forgotten TV project that gave Jeff distinct memories unlike any other. Strange how an otherwise throw away TV movie can stay with you. The early 80s were quite a different time. Jeff talks about Bradbury, the themes of the story, and more in the latest GenX Show!Enjoy the show!
