  • What Troll Dolls Were Trying to Tell Us

    What Troll Dolls Were Trying to Tell Us

    They were everywhere. They were unsettling. And somehow… we loved them. This week, Andrea and Ryan explore the 90s Troll doll craze — where it came from, how it exploded across brands, and why these tiny, unhinged creatures captured our hearts.

    What started as a cute collectible turns into a surprisingly deep conversation about nostalgia, identity, and the parts of ourselves we keep buried. Turns out Troll dolls may have been holding a mirror to our repressed inner chaos all along.

    Welcome to the very first meeting of the Grown-Ass Kids Club. This week, Andrea and Ryan kick off the new era by revisiting Dirty Dancing — the movie that taught us about love, classism, illegal abortions, and the undeniable sainthood of Jerry Orbach.

    We talk nostalgia, unpack the social issues hiding in plain sight, take a character quiz to see who’s Baby and who’s the real villain, and spend an appropriate amount of time praising Jerry Orbach, patron saint of emotionally available fathers.
