In this episode, we dig into the movies that shaped who we are as a  generation. Whether you're looking to reminisce about your favorite coming-of-age movies (Breakfast Club anyone?) or are curious about the cultural touchstones that made us, step back in time with the GenX Stories crew.  We even reveal some of our Facebook group’s favorite flicks. Let’s  be demented and sad, but social together.
