Our favourite Sweet Teen Club episodes – Which one is yours?

September 15, 2016 by Stacey 8 Comments

67ndy06k409l

So you might have noticed STC is on an unofficial hiatus – there have been some changes afoot and Carly ran off to Italy to be EuroCarly for what felt like eight years, so here we are, it’s been a month and there’s been no new 90s memories in your ears.

We’re sorry! We miss it too.

We’ve got a meeting next week (read: burritos and beer, maybe we’ll get around to organising a schedule MAYBE) so never fear, we’ll bust out the microphone imminently. I’m campaigning to finally crack the View Askewniverse with some Kevin Smith goodness, LORD KNOWS I’VE WAITED LONG ENOUGGGGGH.

So to tide you over, Carly and I picked our top three favourites each for you to go back and re-listen (or dive into if you haven’t yet!) until we get our shit together. Special mentions too from our producer Brooke, who is probably our biggest fan. When I asked Carly which were her top three she was like “whichever was the one where you said you got shot with a crossbow!” so fear not, that is below!

Her second favourite Staceyism can only be heard on the Facebook live recording, but well worth checking out (it got lost in the podcast release), and you can find it here. If you’re in a hurry, fast forward to 25.32. #RIPtheocean #dolphinsandshit

You can listen below, on your favourite podcast app, on iTunes, Stitcher, or the Jackrabbit app (with the bonus of having all other Jackrabbit network podcasts in one place!)

The Crowning Jewel

But our total favourite, and the favourite of everyone we hear from is the uber-funny Degrassi Junior High episode, so we’ve taken it out of contention and popped it at the top. It’s got everything – boys, musak and potato chaps, not to mention crossbows and UMMMMMMMMMMMM. Well worth a re-listen!

And if that’s not enough, check out our eerily similar posts from that episode:

The 42 Best Bits from Degrassi Junior High – me

The Seven Actual Best Bits About Degrassi Junior High – Carly

Carly:

Beauty Products of the 90s

Grab your Body Shop’s Dewberry fragrance, your glittery butterfly hairclips, Sun In and raise those super thin plucked eyebrows? We get deep into the decade of Calvin Klein fragrances and questionable lipstick shades in this episode on shit we bought from the supermarket beauty aisle 1990-99.

Best enjoyed with a spritz of Impulse.

The Craft

We cracked out the black eyeliner and unearthed our amethyst velvet chokers, flying back to 1996 to talk witchy teen movies. Carly was in her element.

Flowers in the Attic

Ohhhhh this one is a right crack up. A confusing book read too young by some cynical girls.

Stacey:

double-love-crop

Sweet Valley High Book 1: Double Love

I have a real soft spot for our very first episode, in which we discuss the intense literary masterpiece that is Double Love. Jessica does typical Jessica shit and Elizabeth is a dishrag. We leave no survivors.

Sweet Valley Saga

Way back in 18somethingorother, a Swedish girl called Alice falls overboard on an ocean liner, only to be saved by a hot Wakefield. They are separated and their lives carry on throughout history until a young ‘60s Alice gets saved from drowning by – you guessed it – a hot Wakefield. The story of how Elizabeth and Jessica came to be, traced back through Alice’s lineage.

My particular favourites: me trying to read poetry and failing miserably, the trombone, and Hank grooving on some mellower people (and me mellowing on some Grindr people or something, I don’t know it’s Pauly Shore’s fault)

Heathers

Carly and I head back to the halls of Westerburg High School to see how well The Heathers have held up almost 30 years on. Pretty good for a bunch of dead people. Also #winonaforever and we’re sorry, Christian Slater.

Brooke:

Brooke went old school with her choices and I fully approve. In fact, I think Carly would back Clueless and I’d back Empire Records 150 million percent.

Clueless

Paul Rudd Paul Rudd Paul Rudd Paul Rudd Paul Rudd Paul Rudd Paul Rudd Paul Rudd Paul Rudd Paul Rudd Paul Rudd Paul Rudd Paul Rudd Paul Rudd Paul Rudd Paul Rudd Paul Rudd Paul Rudd Paul Rudd Paul Rudd Paul Rudd

Empire Records

Damn the man, listen to this episode! It’s cool, we’ll bring Rex his lunch.

Your favourites

According to number of downloads (though we’ve been away for a while so I think the top spot is skewed), your top three favourites are:

90s Fads

90s Number Ones

Fashion in the 90s 

So we’ll be back soon! We promise! Are these download numbers true though – what’s your favourite episode?

    I miss you guys!!! And Yes! Get some Kevin Smith in my ears!!
    My favourites are The Craft because I so thought I was one of those girls ( eye roll emoji) & the one where Carly talked about John Goodman, 90’s number 1’s I think. Fuck I laughed SO much!!! It also made realise I read a shittonne of John Grisham in high school.
    And where’s the damn Roseann episode?

      yep, 90s number ones I just listened to it yesterday! It cracked me up so hard. I do love John Goodman! Probably that much also hahahaha.
      The Roseanne episode is coming! I’m trying to pack in Gilmore Girls before NOvember so it’s taking up all my time!

    All the Kevin Smith please! Actually, maybe not all. There are some epic-ly shitty ones in the mix, but also much hilarity.

    OMG, where have I been? I had no idea you and Carly had a 90s podcast. I need to catch up and you need to get back to it. Considering I only really have 90s music on my iPod and I still think it was only 10 years ago now, this is the podcast for me. Love Sweet Valley High – man I loved those books hard…

    Loved them all, particularly the 90s boy band one for Stacey’s take on East 17 and whichever one Carly asked her mum what ‘annal’ sex was.
