Airport Etiquette, Internet Nostalgia & Catching up on Movies I Aussie Nostalgia Podcast

This week on The Midlifers Podcast, Mez and Fonz take a hilarious trip down memory lane while tackling all the weird and wonderful parts of modern midlife. First up, it's all about revisiting their Cabbage Patch Kids episode as Mez and Fonz reunite with their own childhood dolls and relive the toy craze that defined a generation. The conversation then shifts to movies that have stood the test of time. Mez finally watches Whiplash starring Miles Teller and J.K. Simmons, sparking a chat about how raising kids creates huge pop culture blind spots. Is it ever too late to discover a brilliant film? And if you still haven't watched Saltburn, what are you waiting for? The girls discuss the movies that don't just entertain but they stay with you long after the credits roll. Fonz surprises Mez with a unique souvenir from Singapore, leading to an unexpected conversation about beauty treatments, self-care, pedicures, manicures, and even the latest trends in intimate wellness. In this week's Don't Be a Dick segment, the ladies tackle airport etiquette. From queue jumpers and line cutters to seat hoggers and the dreaded "gate lice," they share the airport behaviours that drive everyone mad and whether it's okay to admit we've all been guilty of a travel faux pas. Plus, take a nostalgic trip back to the early days of the internet as Mez and Fonz remember chat rooms, dial-up connections, pixelated websites, and the excitement of discovering the World Wide Web for the very first time. If you're navigating your midlife years, love 80s nostalgia, enjoy hilarious conversations about parenting, pop culture, travel, movies, and all the chaos of midlife, this episode is for you.
