Description

Camp-y summertime tropes, tales of a reformed tomboy, and a plunger-wielding dream stalker… Oh lawd, it's about to get pretty dark! In response to serious Darkling demand, these ‘90s kids rewind back to Nickelodeon’s heyday to revisit the gruesome legend of Zeke the Plumber from Salute Your Shorts, confront toxic truths from Kalyn’s girlhood, and explore the intrinsic ties between sleepaway camps and the horror genre. Whether you’ve been perpetually haunted by Zeke yourself, or are simply craving that freeze-pop-summer-break feeling, this episode is the perfect way to kick off a very spooky summer indeed.Have a frightfully nostalgic memory to share or a pretty dark topic you'd like us to cover?

Here for the 80s and 90s kids who still long for the safe, spooky glow of the TV screen in a dark room, Kalyn Andrews and Christian Baxter Mott (also 90s kids) take a nostalgic look at the grittier side of the children's entertainment that ruled our adolescence and moulded our generation. Our show features every-other-weekly discussions ranging from movie nights and season-long binges, to spooky specials of shows and other traumas... (ahem, memories). So, grab your flashlights and join us on Saturday nights as we go searching for and researching what exactly it was that happened to us in the dark all those many moons ago.
