Passing fads from the 2000s. Terminator 2, 35 years later. The origins of computer-generated imagery (CGI).

Episode 251 brings the cool breeze of GenX nostalgia to the hot July weather.

It all begins with a staple of today's entertainment. Computer-Generated Imagery, or CGI, is commonplace in the 2020s. So much so that it can be taken for granted. It had to begin somewhere, and we're going to look back at the origins of CGI, which go back further than you might realize.

Hasta la vista, baby! 35 years ago this week one of the greatest sci-fi films, and one of the greatest sequels ever, was released. Terminator 2: Judgment Day broke the mould of what a science-fiction film could do. Great characters, incredible effects, tremendous acting, and more. We will do a deep dive into this iconic 90s film.

The Top 5 heads way back to the bygone days of the early 21st century. We are going to look, laugh, and shake our heads at some of the passing fads of the 2000s. Were you guilty of partaking in any of them?

We have a brand new This Week In History and Time Capsule, of course, looking at the life and career of 80s rock legend Huey Lewis.

In My Footsteps Podcast Episode 190: When Grunge Killed Hair Metal, Garfield, 1960s Passing Fads, Halley's Comet(4-9-2025)

 

The battle between Hair Metal and Grunge. The effect of Garfield on my childhood. Some passing fads of the 1960s.

Episode 190 is filled with fun old school nostalgia to help you feel young again, briefly.

It starts with a look at the rise and pop culture relevance of Garfield the cat. From his humble beginnings as a fat, lazy orange cat in a comic strip to television, movies, and gobs of merch, Garfield has been making childhoods, including mine, better since 1978.

We go way back in the day to look at a clash of styles. The battle for supremacy between hair metal and grunge music. One dominated the late 80s with screeching arena rock and unique looks. The other burst onto the scene in the early 90s, unpolished and raw. Which one won?

A brand new Top 5 will showcase some 1960s passing fads. These things were briefly popular and ultimately flamed out. Clothing, hair styles, toys, odd inventions, they're all here, and a few were directly impacted by The Beatles.

There is new This Week In History and Time Capsule looking back at the last time Halley's Comet passed by the Earth.
