Jo PiazzaHOST
But you guys also...
Jo PiazzaHOST
You're really writing for a group that I call the Zillennials.
Jo PiazzaHOST
It's younger Gen X. It's older millennials.
Jo PiazzaHOST
I was born in 80.
Will ReitzHOST
I know.
Will ReitzHOST
Then you have, like you have Xennials, you have Zillennials, which is a portmanteau of Gen Z and Millennial.
Will ReitzHOST
These are Gen Zers who remember the world before smartphones, so people born between, say, 96 and 2000.
Will ReitzHOST
These are people who probably don't remember 9-11, but they definitely knew that the world was changing after 9-11.
Meghan CunninghamHOST
I know.
Meghan CunninghamHOST
And then, of course, because it is of its time, it's a Zennial show, discovering Halloween isn't actually the whole adventure because, as you say, there are also two criminals camping out in the park.
Meghan CunninghamHOST
And I love how casually children's animation in this period can make a turn like that.
Meghan CunninghamHOST
like one minute it's just a bear and fox figuring out trick-or-treating which is a charming story all on its own but then they've stumbled onto an actual crime caper story which i love that is so so 80s and 90s like 70s 80s 90s as a kid i don't remember finding this remotely strange like of course the halloween cartoon was about woodland animals and also had criminals Like, why would it? Why would it? Importantly, yeah, the Halloween setting becomes part of the confusion as the story unfolds, which eventually brings us to the witch, which is which promised by the title.
Meghan CunninghamHOST
in New York City.
Meghan CunninghamHOST
The story follows Peter, Ray, and Egon as they go from studying the paranormal at a university to doing something considerably more practical with it and starting a business catching ghosts.
Meghan CunninghamHOST
They set themselves up in a converted firehouse, acquire Ecto-1, and head out with proton packs, ghost traps, and an awful lot of equipment that looks as though it might electrocute somebody at any moment.
Meghan CunninghamHOST
Winston eventually joins the team, and what begins as a strange little supernatural business escalates into a threat to the entire city involving Dana's apartment building, Zuul, the Keymaster, Gatekeeper, and Gozer, and eventually one enormous Marshmallow Man.
Meghan CunninghamHOST
So yeah, I watched it a lot.
Meghan CunninghamHOST
Once you did discover it, was it just a once in a while thing or did you watch it? Well,
Lyle PerezHOST
the second one was always on like Showtime or something like that.
Lyle PerezHOST
So back in back in my middle school days, we had like Showtime and all of those things.
Jamie JacksonHOST
I'm a Gen X.
Jamie JacksonHOST
In fact, I'm not Gen X. I'm a Zillennial, right? Which is the end of Gen X and the beginning of millennial.
Jamie JacksonHOST
It's that bit because I'm two years off being a millennial.
Jamie JacksonHOST
So that's the Zillennial.
Jamie JacksonHOST
And that is what you call yourself when you want to pretend you're younger than you are.
Jamie JacksonHOST
That's what happens there.
Jamie JacksonHOST
Nobody like, it's only people who are old going, oh, I'm a Zillennial because they want to pretend that they're like, you know, hip and cool or something.
Jamie JacksonHOST
Although I don't think millennials have ever been hip and cool.
Anya KellyHOST
Okay.
Anya KellyHOST
As a, like, Zillenial, and I am defending that title.
Anya KellyHOST
I'm not a Millennial.
Anya KellyHOST
I really am a Zillenial, I promise.
Jennifer VillalbaGUEST
[laughs]
Guillaume LuccisanoHOST
[laughs]
Carmen Q. GolliharGUEST
But then now as like time has gone on and, you know, now we're doing all this stuff with generations on social media.
Carmen Q. GolliharGUEST
I'm like, no, I'm not a Zennial.
Carmen Q. GolliharGUEST
I'm Gen X.
NicoleHOST
No, no, not at all.
VinnyHOST
fun.
MattyPANELIST
Alex, we're looking for Zillennials.
MattyPANELIST
Yep, we certainly
SarahHOST
are.
Jonathan HallGUEST
Coming back to where we are with these different age groups, as you said, Richard, the sooner you start with protection, the better value is going to be on offer.
Jonathan HallGUEST
Now, for Generation Z or Generation Z, if you're an American, that's Zillennial's group, which are people who are currently around the ages of 25 to 30. are people who are unlikely to be viable wealth management clients for a lot of businesses, because through no fault of their own, their economic lifecycle experience has been very different to the generations that have gone before them.
Jonathan HallGUEST
This generation as we know places a very high value on its lifestyle so although they may not own a home they may not have large amounts of investments or pensions to manage they have a huge value placed on their standard of living and the quality of their lifestyle.
Jonathan HallGUEST
Now, armed with that knowledge, it becomes quite easy to see where you can pitch protection as being the vehicle to safeguard that lifestyle and that standard of living in the event of an unexpected illness or an incapacity.
LaraHOST
And sometimes it doesn't need to do anything different because there's always going to be an audience for this type of show.
LaraHOST
But I do feel like whoever is the writer for adults just got the tone of Zillennials so perfectly.
LaraHOST
Whereas Not Suitable for Work feels more Feels more even like mid-generation to older generation millennial.
LaraHOST
And I don't know if that's the same anymore.
