Considering that Pam has not seen a single one of the five movies reviewed in the August 1990 Watch It, we find an awful lot to say about them. But that's not all! There's also dolphins, Butt-head, Goo, spack, Barbie, garbage, Sondheim, Michael Rank, Michael Rank, and Michael Rank -- and it's all stuck together with God's glue. If that's not Enuff? Z'Nuff!

Time for a new issue! Catherine kicks things off with a dark reporting trip to several locations that were, until quite recently, in the Soviet Union. Kim shares the results from a poll of guys' and girls' views, though what we mostly remember is what we thought they looked like in their underwear. Karen walks you through each day of your month as the owner of a female reproductive system. The fiction runner-up is about...talking to pastrami. All this plus Sassy staffers' romantic boyfriends, the return of Help For Him, unorthodox uses for avocados, and much much more! Stop hitting on your attractive cousin and join us!

Skipping the June 1990 Slumber Party means we're doubling up on the quizzes this time, which is just as well since they're both about half as compelling as usual. Rate Your Sassy Staff IQ? Rate Your Prejudices? Is...everyone okay? Fortunately, everyone who's left us messages since the last time we heard from you is doing great: we're delighted to hear your stories of life in Phoenix during the rodeo, how to use a pot lip balm without greasing up your finger, which smutty book compromised the integrity of your toys, and so much more.

The July 1990 issue has a lot of ideas about your look. Some are good, like the spread of 40s-inspired swimsuits. Some are weird, like the Making It suggestion that you cut off the collar and cuffs of a buttondown shirt and just tuck them, loose, into a pullover sweater, hoping for the best. Some are simply Not Done anymore, like getting white girl "beach braids" on your visit to the Caribbean.

For its July 1990 issue, Sassy COULD just give you five reviews each in Listen Up and Watch It, as usual. But no: they've gone above and beyond to save you from boredom by creating a special pop culture supplement you can tear out and take straight to the video store, record store, bookstore, and library to load up on all the movies, albums, and books Sassy thinks you need to check out. Are some of their recommendations weird or wrong? Sure! But a lot of them are solid; we go through the lists to say which ones we co-sign.

We're diving into a new issue and...finding horror, unfortunately. Catherine interviews a girl whose high school boyfriend murdered her parents. Help offers painful-sounding advice to a letter writer looking to turn out her inverted nipples. AND Kim, Karen, and Mike are staying in low-end hotels?! Okay, that last one was a joke; their road trip sounds pretty fun. And there's a lot to love in the issue's teen life topics, from great advice about fighting with a partner to a contest-winning fiction story from a future bestselling author to a whole new column: Help For Him!

Summer is officially here, and that means learning how to stay beautiful in the water, and not use too much, but also splash your face 20 times when you wash it. It means spending time in the sun, and boiling a whole lettuce head to use the juice to soothe your skin if you burn it. It also means taking a perfectly good one-piece swimsuit, cutting it into two, tying it in knots, and hoping for the best?

We're learning a lot both in the pop culture topics as covered in the June 1990 Sassy, and ALSO in our further research about them. A Parenthood TV show? The couple I Love You To Death was based on? Who Rachel Hunter would end up with after Kip Winger? How many more Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movies would follow the 1990 début? There's just so much to know! We also touch on Kate Pierson, Spanky Taylor, and Natalie Maines's future ex-husband. Put Bad Influence on pause, but definitely come back to it AFTER you listen to our latest episode!

We've had a lot of different feelings about Johnny Depp, the May 1990 cover boy, over the course of our lives, and while we might want to distance ourselves from the people we were in May 1990, when he was about as hot and sexy as he would ever be...we can't; we have to talk about him -- not only because there's a feature profile on him, but because he's all over the rest of the magazine too! His TV show, 21 Jump Street, comes up in What Now as the source material Dick Wolf's Nasty Boys is obviously ripping off! His new movie, Cry-Baby is reviewed in Watch It! Even his fiancée, Winona Ryder, comes up in the blurb on One To Watch Samantha Mathis! And then the profile itself is almost all just first-person quotes from Depp himself. It's a Deppth charge of complicated memories, and we do our best to sort through them in our latest Pop Culture episode!

It's time to crack open a brand-new (33-year-old) issue of Sassy! A lovely profile of Cara Dunne, a blind Harvard student, is chased by the horror show of Karen's report on volunteering at a vet's office. Kim has the brilliant brainstorm of soliciting stories of her colleagues' teen cruelty to their moms, and THEN reaching out to said moms for comment. Christina goes to Hawaii to interview some world-class surfers about the sport. And the rest of the Teen Life topics are a rich tapestry too: we do a tight ten on the bizarre photo choice for Body Talk; critique the What He Said respondents on their stories of standing up dates; sit with the deep thoughts of Stuff You Wrote; and more!

Is Tremors actually a better movie than its marketing would have you believe? Will new Young Guns make the Young Guns sequel more compelling than the original?

The April 1990 issue may have fewer Teen Life features, but what they lack in number they make up for in discussion value. Mike counsels us on how not to talk to guys. A story on an anorexic girl basically leaves her out entirely. Christina is stunned to learn that dolphins...may not want to swim with humans? All this and more, from Gilda Marx to the family restaurant Dave is deprived from visiting, awaits you in our April 1990 Teen Life episode!

The March 1990 quiz dares readers to "Rate Your Self-Centeredness," and we dropped everything to do a deep analysis on life's main characters: us! In fact, because the voicemailbox was a bit empty this time around -- maybe the heat wave fried your phones? -- that we were able to focus on our responses to the quiz for twice as long as we normally do! Then, we flipped over to your calls on topics including Buns Of Steel, a Sassy cameo in Christmas Vacation, how far back our lives on the internet actually exist, among many other concerns. Take a break from listening to your own inner monologue and listen to us instead! QUICK LINKS 🗒 Full episode notes can be found on this episode's page on ListenToSassy.com ☎️ Call The Hotline!
