Is “rotted” cooler slang than “rotten”? How “monotone” can Beat Happening’s lead vocalist actually be? How does Christina rate the relative cuteness of Aleka’s Attic, River Phoenix’s band? Has the time come for a Toy Soldiers remake? Is it acceptable to call Winona Ryder “Noni”? These are but a few of the questions we answer in the June 1991 Pop Culture episode. We also have a few about Alek Keshishian, but he…probably shouldn’t listen. You, however? You definitely should.
