Ep 247: "The Real World: New York (1992)" Revisited
Listen now
Description
MTV charted new territory with their reality TV groundbreaker, The Real World. Back in 1992, not only did we discover what happens when people stopped being polite, we also saw real GenX conversations about race, gender, sexuality, and abortion. These roommates had a lot to say and audiences tuned in to hear it. But now, decades later, does anyone over 50 really want to hear what 19-year-olds have to say about anything? And how do the concerns of 1990's young adults compare to today's batch of world issues? The Old Roommates chow down on some New York City snow and give it the first full season a rewatch through their middle-aged lens.
