Remember having to pick only a couple of movies from Blockbuster Video or another movie-rental store? Decisions, decisions. Glenn and Greg talk about Blockbuster Video and their experiences growing up in a world where you had to return a movie in three days AND rewind it. But why have these types of businesses gone away? And is there REALLY a Blockbuster Video still open somewhere in America?

On this week's episode, we talk about one of the legends in voice-acting, Fred Newman. You might know him by his white hair or face, but if you grew up in the 1980s and 1990s, you for sure have heard his sound effects and voice. From Doug to The Muppets, Fred's unique improvisation is heard on many popular shows and radio programs.

Before text messaging, there was AOL Instant Messenger. From away messages to witty profiles, AIM took over social interaction in the late 1990s and early 2000s. Glenn and Greg talk about their experiences with the program and how it changed their socializing. And yes, Glenn and Greg were able to sign back into their old AIM accounts! brb...

Everyone remembers their first computer. Either it was a PC or an Apple (Mac), you remember playing those simple-based games and surfing the net via AOL. Glenn and Greg talk about their first experiences with personal computers. And we learn Glenn was a real nerd. And Greg was just cool. Pure cool.

Ah yes, the loveable duo from MTV. On this week's episode, Glenn and Greg discuss Beavis and Butthead. From their eventful fun on MTV to changing how the word 'fire' was used in culture of their watchers, the show provided crude entertainment to many!

With the passing of one of the legends in acting, we thought it would be appropriate to pay our respects to Gene Wilder. While the movie 'Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory' was made well before Glenn and Greg's time, the film is a giant part of 80s and 90s kids everywhere.

Well, at least the new Ghostbusters movie did SOMETHING good. Bringing back Ecto Cooler!! On this week's episode, Glenn and Greg sip some green drink and talk about the big HI-C flavor liquid that was introduced to the world in 1989. From it's origin to a conspiracy theory surrounding the formula, you will learn a lot about this drink. And yes, it's even back in 2016! Thanks bad Ghostbusters remake.

Raise your hand if every Saturday night at 8 p.m. you were parked in front of the television to watch SNICK...that's what I thought. Like Glenn and Greg, many of you remember Are You Afraid Of The Dark?, Clarissa Explains It All, Ren and Stimpy, and many more that were broadcast Saturday nights on Nickelodeon. They guys talk about the start and better block of shows SNICK contained and why the station changed to different type of shows later on. Plus, you get to hear some of the show's themes that will definitely take you back to your childhood. Follow YPA on Twitter: @ParentsAtticPOD. Find us on Facebook too!

It's back! That's right, Crystal Pepsi is back on shelves at your local grocer, almost 23 years from its disappearance. How did it start? Why did it die in the first place? And how did Coke have a hand in the first demise of Crystal Pepsi? We drink the new version of Crystal Pepsi during this show, and are split about the new taste.

America Online was the gateway for many of us when it comes to exploring the World Wide Web. Learn some of the history of AOL, including how it started and what if offered for how much when we were surfing without a care. There's also five facts you might know about AOL, including their subscriber base today in 2016.

If you are a child of the 1980s and 1990s, you experienced some pretty cool things. From Power Wheels to Ecto-Cooler to SNICK to AOL, our childhood was awesome. And now it is time to go back and reminisce. Your Parents' Attic is a podcast devoted to those memories. We will give you their beginning, facts, commercials, stories, and for some, their demise -- and comeback. The show is available each and every Friday. You can download it on iTunes, Stitcher, Google Play, and other podcast platforms. Tell your friends, your siblings, and your parents. It's time to go back to the 80s and 90s --- at least for thirty minutes a week.
