What if Y2K was recast in...1999?

The turn of the millennium was a cultural crossroads that perfectly encapsulates millennial adolescence—an era before smartphones but after the internet changed everything. In this episode, Cory and Nick explore A24's "Y2K," a horror-comedy that asks: what if technology actually did turn against us when the clock struck midnight on December 31, 1999?
The crew talks how this compact 90-minute film captures the distinct cultural essence of late '90s high school life better than most nostalgia pieces. From the tribal divisions between nu-metal kids and pop princesses to the social anxiety of navigating high school parties, "Y2K" serves as a remarkably accurate time capsule of a period that existed between Kurt Cobain's death and 9/11.
