Sports Memorabilia Weekend!

Today, at www.growingupmovies.com, you can watch this week’s new videosode, where I visit my best buddy Beau’s sports mancave and we talk about sports memorabilia collecting and how it can take the edge off in life and also be a fun tool for connecting with our kids through the love of sports. We have all felt a bit disconnected over the past couple of years between the pandemic, inflation, political upheaval, and crazy weather. I make these videos to help remind us how to cope with the difficulties of adult life by reconnecting to childlike nostalgia and creativity. If you like what I am doing, please comment and share (especially on YouTube) because that is how the good word spreads. Let the fun times roll!

Visual Podcast Parts 1 & 2 Launch!

Happy Friday nostalgia crazies! Today, check out the first VISUAL PODCAST (Parts 1 & 2). Meaning it’s a podcast, accompanied by stills, which the audio references. I talk to two of my oldest friends about retro action figure displaying, narrative movies we made when we were teenagers, and even how pop culture nostalgia can be a connective base for relationships! So much fun stuff to explore, so please follow along – whether you’re just listening or checking your phones here and there for the visuals. Oh, and when we talk about the movies we made when we were kids, you can see clips from the old footage circa 1990-1992. These “backyard blockbusters” are hilariously amateurish but also perhaps ahead of their time? You be the judge. Stay tuned to growingupmovies.com, follow us on social media, subscribe to the YouTube channel, and please please comment and share, because that’s how we spread the good word about nostalgia and childlike creativity!

Happy Friday Nostalgia Crazies!

It’s amazing how connecting with our creativity of yesteryear can help sooth the difficult anxieties of adulting. There is also a direct connection between this kind of creativity and the phenomenon of pop culture nostalgia. Both of which can be therapeutic. Enjoy this videosode, visible on the home page and on the YouTube channel. Lots more nostalgic warmness to come!
