In the days before streaming, genre television was limited. However, Fox generated a lot of new content to supplement what was on the more traditional networks and cable began producing its own fair share in the 90’s. In this episode we take a look at the various genre TV series of the 90’s. We talk about our favorites and the ones that gained the attention of pop culture. We discuss what we liked, whether we think that they hold up, and why they’re worth a mention. Along the way we also talk about some trends of the decade and give some hints on where we might go in a sequel episode.

Heroes treated the idea of superpowers in a serious manner and paved the way for so many series that we know and love. Just about everyone agrees that Heroes started strong and then fell apart, but no one agrees on the when and how. In this episode we try to get to the bottom of that and examine if the Heroes Reborn reboot was a worthy successor. 
We finally start our summer movie podcasts! Grab your walkman and moonwalk over to your parents’ place, because The 42cast delves into the Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2.
