We’re remembering the life of the man who took us to the final frontier—and made “Make it so” a phrase we’ll never forget. From Captain Picard to Professor X, Patrick Stewart brought authority, humanity, and a surprising sense of humor to our screens. We’re celebrating his life, remembering his career, and reflecting on what made Patrick Stewart such an unforgettable part of growing up Generation X.(May contain some explicit language.)Patreon » patreon.com/genxgrownupDiscord » GenXGrownUp.com/discordFacebook » fb.me/GenXGrownUpTwitter » GenXGrownUp.com/twitterWebsite » GenXGrownUp.comPodcast » GenXGrownUp.com/podMerchandise » GenXGrownUp.com/merchTheme: “Grown Up” by Beefy » beefyness.comApple » itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/genxgrownup-podcast/id1268365641CastBox » castbox.fm/channel/GenXGrownUp-Podcast-id2943471?country=usPocket Casts » pca.st/8iuLAudible » amz.run/6yhRTuneIn » tunein.com/radio/GenXGrownUp-Podcast-p1020342/Spotify » spoti.fi/2TB4LR7iHeart » www.iheart.com/podcast…Amazon Music » amzn.to/33IKfEKShow NotesPatrick Stewart Dead: ‘Star Trek’ & ‘X-Men’ Actor Was 86 » bit.ly/3Wjkr0NPatrick Stewart, Star Trek actor and acclaimed thespian, dies aged 86 » bit.ly/3UzxXwBPatrick Stewart’s ‘Star Trek’ Co-Star Gates McFadden Pays Tribute » bit.ly/4sDTykdThe world mourns the passing of ‘Star Trek’s’ Patrick Stewart with a galaxy of tearful tributes » bit.ly/4A4VxR2‘Respected and beloved’: Tributes pour in for Sir Patrick Stewart » bbc.in/4z2MEX7Kevin Feige, Hugh Jackman, Seth MacFarlane Remember Patrick Stewart: ‘This One Hurts’ » www.rollingstone.com/tv-movies/tv-movie-news/patrick-stewart-celebrities-reacts-tributes-1235650051/Email the show » [email protected] us on YouTube » GenXGrownUp.com/ytSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

You are walking down a path and you see a dragon blocking your way. If you want to fight the dragon, turn to page 3. If you want to talk to the dragon, turn to page 4. If you want to throw rocks at the dragon…. well, you can’t. Why would anybody want to throw rocks at a dragon? Anyway, Choose Your Own Adventure books gave us an opportunity to feel in control at an age where we didn’t have a lot of control in our day-to-day lives. Come join us as we reminisce about those wonderful adventures we had reading these gems.

We’re remembering Dolly Parton—one of those stars who seemed to be everywhere when we were growing up. From “9 to 5” and “Islands in the Stream” to movies, television, and a career that just kept growing, Dolly became part of the soundtrack of Generation X. This time, we’re looking back at her life, her generosity, and the legacy she leaves behind.
