September 1989 Pop Culture: Batman, Love Shack & All My Children

Start listening

The September 1989 issue gives us much to discuss in the world of pop culture. Is “well-gutted” a valid Sassy Glossary entry when “gutted” is just fine on its own? Should men pay for dates? How much can we discuss the TV adaptation of The Outsiders that won’t be out for several months? How much baseline knowledge should a Gen Xer have about the Indigo Girls? How much worse is The Batman (2022) than Batman (1989)? How many of the All My Children stars Christina hung out with on set are still working on soaps today? What does it mean to call Paula Abdul “a people artist”? And so much more! We’ll be GUTTED if you don’t listen!
