**WE ARE NO LONGER RELEASING NEW EPISODES (but we are still trying to make “fetch” happen)**
Have you ever wanted to relive your childhood favorites through fresh eyes? Do you often wonder if that VHS you wore out in 1996 would be just as great today? Don’t worry! We’ve got you covered.
Join your hosts Steph and Lex every Wednesday for a fun, unfiltered, adult review of classic childhood films and video games. That’s right! We’re dusting off our PlayStations and VCRs, and diving headfirst into the past. Join us on this new adventure, as we chase our childhoods together!
All good things must come to an end eventually. When we started Chasing Childhood in mid-2020, we couldn't have imagined the joy, laughter, and new friendships it would bring into our lives. We hope that you were able to find the nostalgia (and maybe some cringe) in revisiting these childhood movies, TV shows, and 2 video games. For our finale, we answer questions sent in by our listeners, play a game, and chat with two of our favorite guest hosts: Tyler and Jackie. Thank you all so very much for coming on this 3+ year journey with us! Here's to new adventures!

Bonus Episode: Jingle Jangle: A Christmas Journey
After multiple requests from a friend to watch this film over the last couple of years, we're reviewing Jingle Jangle: A Christmas Journey (2020). It may be a modern Netflix tale, but many of the stars from this movie are quite familiar and nostalgic for us! Even though this is just a quick bonus episode, we hope you enjoy one last rewatch with us. And to Cordell, whose persistence inspired this, we're so happy we finally took your suggestion!

Episode 162: It's a Wonderful Life
After discussing a modern tale last time, we decided to rewind much farther back than our childhoods for this week. To finish off the Christmas season and our very last film review, we're watching It's a Wonderful Life (1946). George Bailey's life has been a series of horrific experiences, accidents, loss, and turmoil for as long as he can remember. Every big dream shattered, every hope dashed as he discovers himself more and more wrapped up in what he feels are mediocre responsibilities to his community of Bedford Falls. After one disaster too many, he contemplates taking his life until his guardian angel Clarence shows him that if he'd never existed, this sleepy town and the people in it would be miserable without him. We have to ask: has this so-called classic earned its wings? Or do we wish it, too, had never been born? Let’s find out together!
