Get your passports ready, we're headed to Paris! Well, more like Parisian streets with a heavy dose of California interior and exterior shots, but you get the picture. Join Helene and Adri as they dish all about the 1999 Dualstar Entertainment / Tapestry Films classic that made us want crossbody backpacks, Passport to Paris (1999). This movie was produced by Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen (executive producers, natch) and the fashions are all over the place (possibly also available at your nearest Target rn).

Season one of Growing Up Millennial holds a really special place in our hearts: the direct-to-video (that's VHS to you, dear listeners) movies made by the Olsen Twins in the '90s and early aughts.

These films were a staple of our combined childhood (even with our seven-year age difference), and Adri and Helene are here to dissect, discuss, and reminisce about all of them. We go through the plot, the fashion, the feminism, and we even give a voice to the voiceless in podcasting, the straight white cis dude.

Even though we want to say that Our Lips Are Sealed to surprise our audience with which movies we’re going to cover throughout these eight episodes, we can safely say that you’ll get a full list pretty soon. Some may even say that you’ll see it in a New York Minute.

What to expect from our first episode: We hope you have your virtual passports, pretend airline tickets, and spiritual cross-body backpacks at the ready, because we’re headed to Paris! What could be more iconic (or should we say iconique?) than to begin our Dualstar journey with the 1999 classic, Passport to Paris? Nothing, that’s what. I mean, this movie had FASHION (yes, the usage of all caps was a necessary choice) and a romance for the ages (I’m looking at you J-Man & Brigitte).
