Welcome to pilot two of three! This week, Jack and Tanner go back to the first good year, the last good year, and possibly the only good year in living history: 1998. Each week on 1998: The Podcast, the boys will select some fondly remembered pieces of media from that fine year to discuss. This week, the selections are:

• The REM album "Up"
• Pokémon Yellow: Special Pikachu Edition
• The Buffy the Vampire Slayer season two finale "Becoming" parts one and two

I'll go ahead and warn you in advance that your opinion on Tanner may be forever tarnished due to his views on the two Buffy episodes he watched and the character assassination he does against Willow. We hope you can manage to enjoy this pilot episode despite Tanner's obvious lack of taste of culture.
