Generation X. If you grew up in the 1970s, 1980s, and early 1990s, you know just how cool it was to be a kid back then. We had the greatest music, movies, games, technology, and pop culture of any generation, and though we've grown older, we have refused to outgrow our love of everything GenX. GenXGrownUp looks at yesterday and today through the eyes of Generation X'ers who have refused to grow up!All rights reserved 2017-2026

    ALF
    Jun 18 2026
    Before binge-watching and streaming took over, one wisecracking alien from the planet Melmac became a television sensation. In this Backtrack, we’re looking back at ALF, the hit 1980s sitcom that brought an unexpected extraterrestrial into the Tanner family’s home—and into living rooms around the world. We’ll revisit the laughs, the characters, and the memories that made ALF a pop-culture icon.

    The Drive-In Movie Experience
    Jun 4 2026
    Before multiplexes were the norm and long before streaming, the drive-in theater offered a movie-going experience unlike any other. In this episode, we’ll look back on the traditions, technology, and unforgettable memories that made the drive-in a beloved part of American culture. From giant outdoor screens and crackling window speakers to concession stand favorites and double-feature nights, we’ll revisit what made the drive-in a special destination for generations of moviegoers.
