We’ve spoken several times on this show about our GenX educational experiences. But one particular part of school keeps coming up time & time again. It was part social club, part study hall, part hangout — oh, and by the way, you could also eat lunch! In this episode, with help from our listeners, we remember the school lunch experience from the Generation X perspective.

We’re going back to the basement to remember the origin, impact, and lasting legacy of the granddaddy of pencil-and-paper role-playing games, Dungeons & Dragons!

But what about the hero’s assistant, or buddy, or partner who puts in the same effort but is always lost in the shadow of the star? Not today, though! In this Backtrack, we remember and celebrate some of our favorite sidekicks from GenX-era media!

In this Backtrack, we step up to the plate for 1989’s GenX Classic, Major League!
