Nostalgia in the Age of Empire: Top Gun: Maverick, New Kids on the Block, and Chuck Klosterman’s 90s

Sean reviews Kathy Dobie's harrowing coming-of-age-memoir, The Only Girl in the Car, and argues that "trigger warnings" can actually do more harm than good.  From there, Sean discusses Chuck Klosterman's latest book chronicling the 1990s, which argues that the 90s may have been the last decade with its own specific zeitgeist.  Sean also reviews Top Gun: Maverick and wonders if Top Gun in 2022 will have the same cultural impact that Star Wars did in 1977.  Finally, Sean details attending The New Kids on the Block Mixtape Tour and examines what nostalgia might mean during this particular time in American history.
