Kid 90

Explicit content warning

10/08/21 • 83 min

In March 2021, we were recording episodes for a planned Patreon launch and talked about Soleil Moon Frye’s documentary about 90s teen stars, Kid 90. It’s on Hulu, if you want to watch it. The Patreon never happened for various reasons, but here’s this episode of Booyah where we get pretty personal, probably because we thought it would be behind a paywall. It turned out that this quick and mostly fun doc about some of the TV kids we grew up watching became a conversation about whether or not Rob’s dad actually loves him, the impossibility of being genuine in a way that might help you feel connected to people who can save your life, and how handsome Mark-Paul Gosselaar still is.
