While we are on hiatus this summer (ahead of season four’s fall release), we are re-publishing some of our most popular episodes with brand new intros and trust us, this one is worth the wait. 

Get out the popcorn! The GenX Stories gang goes all out & shares how we really feel about the “new takes” of tv shows and movies we grew up on. While this was originally released WAY ahead of Top Gun: Maverick, thanks to GenX nostalgia it’s soared to $1.895 billion worldwide already. Cuz it was THAT good.

So without further ado, break out  those snacks and check out the replay of one of our favorite season 3 episodes, appropriately entitled "Is it a reboot or a remake?”
