  • The Working Class Family Part 2: Pork Rinds And A 6 Pack!

    05/12/2016 Duração: 17min

    We study more of the working class family through Roseanne and Dan Conner (not O'Connor's, sorry for the mistake!) How is this family similar to the Flintstones (see the last episode) and how are they different. Why is it important that working class folks got to watch this? I think a big reason is that it helped them feel understood, and helped them know that main stream America knew about their plight and their worries. Have a great week!   Primary Source: Season 1 Episode 2 of Roseanne, "We're In The Money" http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x24vwqf_roseanne-season-1-episode-2-we-re-in-the-money_shortfilms

  • Meet The Flintstones: Working Class Families In The 50's and 60's

    28/11/2016 Duração: 21min

    We talk about working class families in the 50's and 60's viewed through an episode of the Flintstones. What did it mean to be in this class, and what were some of the aspects of working class life in this era? I highly recommend watching a few others, here is the one I chose to talk about (in two parts) Part 1: https://vimeo.com/38460072 Part 2: https://vimeo.com/38460940 Enjoy!  

  • Hey Arnold! Help Me Make Sense of This Election!

    21/11/2016 Duração: 20min

    I try to talk through the 2016 presidential election via an episode of, "Hey Arnold" titled, "Mr. Green Runs." The main thing to consider is the two types of politicians running and what American's sees in them! The link being used for this episode starts with another episode, and I had trouble fast forwarding, so be patient =) I love you all so much, hope this episode helps you out a little bit to make sense of what happened! http://www.toon.is/hey-arnold-5x02-helgas-masquerade-mr-green-runs-video_df7813f3b.html

  • The No Homework Episode

    14/11/2016 Duração: 18min

    I honestly didn't know what to talk about with this episode, and it ended up being about subbing a PE class last week! I'm tired, thanks for your patience everyone! I love you all, stay safe!

  • Kenan, Kel, and 90's Politics

    07/11/2016 Duração: 22min

    The election is this Tuesday! Chill out from the stress and watch Kenan and Kel get to meet the president in 1996! This episode was pure fun to record, because Kenan and Kel are pure fun! The original episode aired on the 9th of November I just looked up. One day after the 1996 election in which Bill Clinton defeated Bob Dole! Woah!!!!!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F2x4AkbP-v8

  • A Beary Spooky Halloween (I Hate Myself For This Title Too)

    31/10/2016 Duração: 20min

    We talk about the Berenstain Bears and their halloween! We also talk about the Cubs in the world series and Halloween memories! Hope you guys have a good one, I'll seeya next week!!!!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aRVYDxmPzcM

  • The Electrical 20's

    23/10/2016 Duração: 19min

    Woah! Electricity is so cool! Electricity had been around for a bit, but was still a growing industry with so much to explore and do. This film is an exploration into these possibilities: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a9bXV0ac1S4 Use this source to also explore the fight for equality by women in the 1920's. Women were going to college but they still appeared to have very different experiences than men did. Would the woman in this film be able to easily obtain an electrical engineering degree? This film is so interesting because of all the new historical questions it brings up!

  • The Sabrina The Teenage Witch Trials

    17/10/2016 Duração: 27min

    An episode of Sabrina the Teenage Witch (The Crucible) does a surprisingly accurate portrayal of the actual Salem Witch Trials! Check it out for yourself! http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x3qspsj For further reading check this book out. It is a scholarly book on the event that delves deep into the lives of the individuals that lived through it! https://www.amazon.com/Salem-Possessed-Social-Origins-Witchcraft/dp/0674785266

  • The Family Computer: A New Normal In 1995

    09/10/2016 Duração: 19min

    This is a fun one! We discuss an episode of Arthur in which he breaks his families computer. The episode does a great job of highlighting what types of tasks the family computer was used for when it first started becoming prominently used, but also shows the impact this newly accessible and user friendly machine could have on a family like the Reed's.    Primary Source Packet: Arthur The Wrecker Part 1 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3B19nVPpLhA Part 2 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q1w-B6amGsk

  • Grill Skills: Wendy's Contribution To 80's Culture

    03/10/2016 Duração: 22min

    We tackle the famous 1980's Wendy's Training Video! Why the heck was it made and why was it important? Part of the answer can be found by studying the products of that time period! There is of course something interesting to be learned about race relations in the 80's as well, but that is something that an expert (not me) could explain but is an important issue to think about when watching. Hope you enjoy!   Primary Source Packet!

  • 10/5/2000: The Future Of Automobiles

    26/09/2016 Duração: 22min

    Omg you guys, there is this really cool cartoon from the 1950's you have to check out!!!! Good thing I have the link and an entire episode about it! They try to predict the future, do you think they did a good job?! They more importantly however, talk about how lucky we are to have the types of things we have in the future (such as safe reliable cars) They also stress the importance of appreciating these things! You might be a better person after watching it, who knows!  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dz8HbGjsxM4 And please tune into my twitch channel and watch me play Oregon Trail!!! We have so much fun and would love for you to check it out! https://www.twitch.tv/jimstewartallen

    Hey! I'm tired! Here is the episode, sorry it is late and sorry the sound is shitty, no idea what is going on and don't have time to fix it right now! This turned out well for what it was =) We talk about an episode of MTV's True Life titled, "I'm A Gamer" and all of the good and bad aspects from the people in that episode. I will do a follow up episode probably because I want to talk about it more. Here is the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XJPsPQBidjA

  • 1950's Dating Strategies

    12/09/2016 Duração: 23min

    This is a fun episode! I explain another clip in my theme song! "Let's say you we have ourselves a wing-ding tonight?!" I then talk about the 1950's instructional video, "How To Go On A Date" and how we can still use it to help plan out dates today. Although it is hoaky (a word my mechanic used the other week that now I can't stop using) it's also incredibly useful! Tell me what you think! https://archive.org/details/WhattoDo1950 I love you all! Have a great week!

  • Office Space: Life In A Cubicle In 1999

    05/09/2016 Duração: 28min

  • The Importance of Plastic in 1950's America

    28/08/2016 Duração: 21min

    I discuss plastics in 1950's America. I start with a clip meant to showcase to American's how great industry was and how plastics will play a vital role in the future! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aQpGPrsbqOc Then we talk about the future. What did people think houses would look like in the future back in the 50's. If you guessed plastic you'd be right!!! So much plastic! What can we learn from these blunders? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3qUkNZ5aJWE I hope you enjoy! Please watch me play Oregon Trail on twitch right here: https://www.twitch.tv/jimstewartallen

  • 1995: The Start of User Friendly Internet

    22/08/2016 Duração: 20min

    I found some engaging primary sources on the rise of the internet! The first is an instructional video from 1996 on how to use the internet as a kid for studying and playing games! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A81IwlDeV6c The second is a show from 1995 called, "Computer Chronicles" which played on PBS! There are several key indicators and predictions of what the internet was going to become! Here it is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XluovrUA6Bk The bottom line is this, the internet is incredibly cool and we need to appreciate where it came from so that we can appreciate it now!!!

  • The Swamp Fox: How Walt Disney Framed Revolutionary War Military History In 1959

    15/08/2016 Duração: 24min

    The primary source used in this episode can be found here. It is highly recommended you watch this before or after the cast (It's homework but seriously, the homework is watching TV, c'mon guys!) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bOBwVJQi6_Y Although it isn't very historically accurate you can use this to understand how 1950's America chose to frame the Revolutionary War, and why that is important to understand that as current American's. We also get into issues of slavery, and how this episode chose to portray it, and what that says about America in the late 50's. This one will make your brain happy!

  • 9/15/01: Boxing's Response To The Terrorist Attacks

    07/08/2016 Duração: 24min

    This was a fun one! We talk about boxing entrances (the walk a boxer takes from the dressing room to the ring) and I go through some of my favorites! Here is Fernando Vargas's shit show of an entrance: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KcgesmEz7iQ And here is Prince Naseem Hamed riding to the ring on a magic carpet: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EHxfVtId6_Q Finally I talk about the the pre-fight paegentry during the Hopkins Trinidad fight, which provides a great example of how Americans were attempting to cope with the 9/11 terrorist attacks just days after it happened (this fight took place on 9/15/01) What conclusions can you draw from the ceremony? Here it is (watch from the beginning to around 28 minutes in) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pAdJ2XzP4Ns
