Juvenalia is a pop culture nostalgia show where Alan Maguire, Sarah Maria Griffin, and Andrea Cleary invite interesting people to tell them about something they were obsessed with when they were young; how they felt about it then and how they feel about it now. We've talked about books, films, tv shows, musicians, computer games; we're interested in it all! It's nice, you'll like it.

episode 96: 96: Vanilla Sky with Andy Gaffney
Andy Gaffney of Be Grand joins us to talk about a film that's been very important to him since he was a mere teen, Cameron Crowe's Vanilla Sky. We had an absolutely fascinating chat about how films change with us, accidental arthouse cinemas, sleep paralysis, hypnosis, and the possibility (based on Sarah's coat) that we're all currently in Andy's dream.
Andy is @HiAndyGaffney. His podcast Be Grand is brilliant, Alan's been on it...
episode 97: 97: Interbang?! with Jenn Gannon
Writer, broadcaster, and DJ Jenn Gannon joins us to talk about one of the foundational bits of pop culture from her youth, Interbang?! We hadn't heard of it either. Interbang?! was an Italian one series wonder that aired on The Children's Channel in the late 80s. It's hard to explain. Here's an episode

As well as Interbang?!, we also go down a deep rabbit hole of reading the list of shows that aired on The Children's Channel...
episode 98: 98: MTV Base with Dean Van Nguyen
Music writer Dean Van Nguyen joins us to talk about the bit of pop culture that looms large in his childhood: MTV Base. In our last episode we flirted with doing a whole episode about a TV channel but this week we're going all in. We talked about Beats, Rhymes, and Life, The Lick, Jay Z vs Nas, Napster, Destiny's Child, the legacy of Jackass, and much more.
We're still self-isolating and recording remotely so please forgive any technical hiccups or sound oddities...
episode 99: 99: Gossip Girl with Naoise Dolan
Naoise Dolan, author of the Sunday Times Bestseller Exciting Times joins us to talk about Gossip Girl! It was an absolutely FASCINATING chat about watching high school-based dramas as an autistic woman and viewing characters’ behaviours through that lens. We hope you enjoy it XOXO
NB This episode was recorded in February before everything went down, we didn’t break self-isolation to do this, we are all extremely isolated. We hope you are ok.

episode 100: 100: It's Episode 100 And The Gang's All Here!
We made it to 100! We would have liked to do a live show to celebrate but well *gestures in any direction* so instead Alan, Sarah, and Ellen(!) got together on Zoom to talk about some of their favourite things from the years they were born (1984, 1988, and 1992 respectively). So what are those things? Well there's This Is Spinal Tap, The Secret History, Red Dwarf, The Replacements, Who Framed Roger Rabbit? and Barney along with a live reading of some Barney creepypasta...
episode 101: 101: Eurovision with Cian Sullivan
Podcaster and radio host Cian Sullivan joins us to talk about Eurovision! Eurovision is huge and we are small so we dipped in and out of the bits that interested us, Cian took us through his Eurovision score card, told us what it was like to see Eurovision live, and of course we paid our respects to Riverdance.

episode 104: 104: Anastasia with Caroline O'Donoghue
Author Caroline O'Donoghue returns to Juvenalia for the FIFTH time to talk about a very special animated movie, Don Bluth's Anastasia. We talk about the ways it differs from Disney, we rate all of Anastasia's outfits, and Caroline tells us the true story behind Anastasia of Anna Anderson which leads to a discussion of female scammers. We had a great time.
