    Description

    Kids left home alone, middle-aged women talking to you through the television screen, and… Ronald Reagan?! Oh lawd, it's about to get pretty dark! In this debut episode of That’s Pretty Dark—and the first of many “trauma breakdowns”—Kalyn and Christian discuss the origins of children’s programming thanks to the nuclear family and the deregulation of marketing products to children. Listen up, latchkey kids - this one goes out to you.

    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.
