The "American Girl" franchise of dolls and books. Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen's empire. The Parent Trap. Was Meredith Blake really a villain? Just a few of the topics we're discussing in this official Season 2 kick-off of Nas-Talgia. Naseem is joined by her good friend, Gabriela Gonzalez, the founder of Modern Witnesses.
The girls discuss what it was like to grow up as women of color in schools that lacked diversity and the experience of looking up to teenage role models in the media who were predominantly white. Did that effect them or not?

It's the season finale so you get double the content, listeners. We're finishing Season 1 with arguably the best year in pop culture to date - 1999. The fashion statements (did somebody say butterfly clips?), the music (wait til you hear the list of songs released that year), and of course Y2K. Naseem dives down memory lane reminiscing on what it was like to wear a uniform to school, the fashion tricks she tried to "enhance" her outfits, and the iconic looks that have made their mark.
Later, Naseem is joined by one of her favorite people & fellow pop culture aficionados - Chris Nye - and they're going back in time to paint a picture of who they were in 1999. [Not to miss, their shared obsession with Eminem].
Plus: what they were doing on the eve of the new millennium & the infamous Y2K scare. Finally, dust off the Discman because they're creating a burned CD of their favorite jams of '99.
DON'T. MISS. THIS. EPISODE!

To celebrate the start of autumn, light a scented candle, grab a pumpkin baked good, and join Naseem around the campfire for a virtual version of the "Midnight Society." In this episode we're taking it back to the creepy thriller films of the 90s (and how some weren't all that scary after all, while others have left a scar). We're talking The Faculty, Scream, the Mask, Fight club, Se7en, Face/Off, Hocus Pocus & more!
Plus, what do psychologists suggest nostalgia could help with when it comes to parenting? Thanks for rating this podcast and leaving a review if you like what you're hearing!

Do you remember the effort it would take to log on the Internet via dial up and then DSL?! Oh and of course, staying up til 3AM talking to your crush on AOL Instant Messenger (but then, he ignores you at school the next day).
On this episode, Naseem is joined by her older cousin Roxanna who is a huge part of influencing her love for pop culture because of their shared childhood memories. We're talking about all that plus CD-ROM games, the Littlest Pet Shop, and an interesting scientific experiment on the how likely we are to spend more when we're reminiscing.

Enjoy this bite-sized, bonus episode straight from the cutting room floor to your phone. You best believe the original soundtrack is on repeat in the Khalili house right now.

--- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/naseem-khalili/supportWe're halfway through Season 1 and this episode is a compilation of some bookmarked requests from the listeners. We start with an ode to none other than Naseem's favorite show of all time; Dawson's Creek (which really needs its own episode, but we edited the content down!).
Before that, Nas does a deep dive on one of her favorite 90's films -- Jumanji! Plus, how does nostalgia help us maintain and reflect on social connections for both the present and future?
Other topics include:
- More Dawson's Creek*
- Beanie Babies
- The Parent Trap
- McFlurry's
- Collecting magazines
- a mean Ursula impersonation (thank you Sara Hahn)
*if you care to know Naseem's thesis on Team Pacey just DM her*

This episode, we're diving into the good old days of video rentals and the right of passage all pre-teen girls experienced -- your first slumber party experience. The snacks, the drama, the activities (TP'ing and prank calling, anyone?).
Plus, ever wondered why we tend to "compare our pain" to one another? We'll do a quick peek into the psychology of this odd practice and why it's detrimental for our personal development.

These titles are just a handful of the amazing films that encompass the GOLDEN ERA of Disney Channel Original Movies. But wait, what about the honorable mentions that include the "Wonderful World of Disney" vault?
On this episode, Naseem is joined by her childhood bestie - Amanda - as they rank their favorites and chat through the purity of these movies and how they make them feel "at home" even over 2 decades years later.
In addition, to start this episode Naseem shares a little bit about the psychology of reminiscing and how reflecting on pleasant past memories evokes a sense of resilience for the future in us.
In the end, we somehow land on a mutual obsessed with "It Takes Two" which isn't even Disney... but if that's wrong, then I don't want to be right.
