Ep. 82: And Just Like That…It’s 1996
Waiting to X-hale - A podcast by Karen Tongson and Wynter Mitchell-Rohrbaugh
Hot on the heels of our last episode on Yellowjackets, Wynter and Karen are inspired to revisit the year 1996 and what it gave to us in fashion, fragrances, music, TV, movies and more. Before they get into all that, and what they were each up to at the time, they finally sit down for a much needed & extended processing session about And Just Like That… the SATC reboot on HBO which has made the non-binary character, Che Diaz (played by Sara Ramirez) into a cultural lightning rod. Is the show irredeemable? Or does ALJT teach us something else about GenX white women, privilege and a changing world? Plus more retrolingo as nuo-lingo (it’s new to you!), and two songs of the week that spoke to us from 1996.
