Why ‘90s kids are the most emotionally damaged parents
Kids these days watch Bluey episodes where the biggest drama is a cartoon dog losing a game of keepy-uppy. I watched a boy get stung to death by bees after trying to find his best friend's mood ring. And then I watched her sob over his casket. No wonder us 90s kids are the most screen-time-anxious generation of parents ever. 4 '90s kids are the most screen-time-anxious generation of parents ever, based on the movies and shows watched. Myst – Turns out PG doesn't mean emotionally safe Our parents didn't Google whether Bridge to Terabithia was age-appropriate. They just pressed play and left the room. Charlotte's Web: they made us bond with a talking spider and then killed her off. In a barn. They thought Land Before Time was educational because it had dinosaurs. It was actually just emotional devastation in prehistoric form. 4 Parents thought that The Land Before Time was educational because it had dinosaurs, but it was emotionally hard to watch. Universal Pictures Bambi: dead mom. The Lion King: dead dad. Narnia: war, betrayal, child sacrifice… and a talking lion to narrate the trauma. PG and G ratings, by the way. I remember in Year 7 History being asked to step out and compose myself because they put Titanic on for the class. I was a sobbing mess and they'd only shown the part where the boat hits the iceberg. Sorry I'm an empath, Mrs Barnes. 4 Childhood movies had devastating plot points like dead Mufasa in The Lion King. Buena Vista Pictures We know how powerful storytelling can be, because it shaped us. We grew up with no screen time limits and all the emotional damage. Now we limit screen time like it's sugar, swear words, or asbestos. Our childhood movies broke us and shaped how we parent Obviously, we limit it because we know of the health impacts staring at a screen can have on our children. 4 Macauley Culkin, Anna Chlumsky, 'My Girl' 1991. Columbia Pictures The access to screens is a lot more plentiful. Back then the only screen was the one in the living room and it was a scarce commodity to get to select what you wanted to watch. Every morning, the NY POSTcast offers a deep dive into the headlines with the Post's signature mix of politics, business, pop culture, true crime and everything in between. Subscribe here! Today's shows (Moana, Bluey, Encanto) are built with emotional coaching in mind. They're gentler. Smarter. Kinder. And we're more present. More attuned to what our kids are seeing. We talk about it. We'll pause the movie. Ask questions. Help them name a feeling. I remember my dad taking me to see Bridge to Terabithia, having no idea how deeply it would traumatize me. He didn't have Google to check reviews or parenting forums to warn him. He had no clue his daughter would leave the cinema sobbing or that she'd never look at rope swings the same way again. He just wanted to see a movie with his kid. It was rated PG. How was he supposed to know? I love my dad, but he wasn't the kind of dad who'd sit me down to unpack the emotional symbolism of a cartoon lion dying. He was more like Chandler from Friends, who once said, 'Yes, it was very sad when the guy stopped drawing the deer.' And honestly? That was the vibe. One day, I will show my son these movies. Not to awaken my emotional demons, but as a valuable tool to help him explore big feelings in a safe way. With someone there to help him make sense of it. Rather than saying 'it's just a cartoon.' I'll be ready to pause, explain, and let him cry if he needs to. We'll talk about death, bravery, friendship and why Charlotte's Web needs a warning label.

'Reminders of Him': All About the Colleen Hoover Adaptation Starring Maika Monroe and Rudy Pankow
Another Colleen Hoover book is coming to the big screen. In October 2024, Deadline reported that Universal had landed the rights to her bestselling book Reminders of Him. The novel — which was published in 2022 and sold over 6.5 million copies globally — follows ex-convict Kenna Rowan as she returns to her hometown after a five-year prison stint, determined to reconnect with her 4-year-old daughter and the one man in town who hasn't written her off. 'I am thrilled to be working with Universal to bring Kenna Rowan's world to life,' Hoover told Deadline. 'I hear from many readers who tell me they found something of themselves in her story of living with and through tragedy and doing the often messy and imperfect work of healing and turning the page to a fresh chapter in life.' Related: Which Colleen Hoover Books Are Turning into Movies? All About the Titles Joining It Ends with Us on the Big Screen Maika Monroe will star in the drama as Kenna opposite Tell Me Lies' Tyriq Withers, who Hoover shared on Instagram will be playing Ledger Ward. Outer Banks' Rudy Pankow was also cast in the film in an unnamed role. Here's everything to know about Reminders of Him, including the release date, cast, plot and more news. A synopsis for Reminders of Him hasn't been released. But the novel it's based on is about a mother who returns home after spending five years in prison, ready to reconnect with her young daughter. Rebuilding her life proves difficult when it seems like everyone is determined to shut her out — except for a local bar owner with ties to her child. As their relationship grows, Kenna must confront the tragedies of her past in order to build a more hopeful future. Hoover wrote the screenplay for Reminders of Him with Lauren Levine, best known for producing the film adaptation of Bridge to Terabithia. The duo will also produce the film through their company Heartbones Entertainment, marking the company's first project. Maika Monroe, best known for Longlegs and Watcher, will lead Reminders of Him as Kenna. In April 2025, Deadline reported that Outer Banks star Rudy Pankow had also joined the cast, though his role has yet to be revealed. Tyriq Withers will also appear in Reminders of Him as Ledger, a bar owner who is one of the only remaining links to Kenna's daughter. The I Know What You Did Last Summer actor shared the news on Instagram and said that he was 'feeling beyond grateful to step into this story' and that the role felt 'deeply personal," seemingly alluding to his brother's death in 2021. 'I only hope to honor those who have loved and lost, and to serve as a light for anyone still finding their way through the darkness,' he wrote. In December 2024, Deadline reported that Vanessa Caswill, best known for Love at First Sight, was set to direct Reminders of Him. She also helmed three episodes of the BBC's 2017 miniseries, Little Women. The adaptation of Reminders of Him is set to film in Calgary, Alberta, Canadian outlet CTV News reported. Production will start in April and wrap up in June 2025, per ACTRA. Reminders of Him is set to premiere on Feb. 13, 2026. This follows in the tradition of Universal slating their romantic movies for Valentine's Day — they used the same schedule for the Fifty Shades of Grey franchise. Read the original article on People
