This show is horrible! It is like AI was asked to use Goosebumps titles to make a cliched, DEI, uncomfortably LGBT show. The show cares so little about the script and story that by the 3rd episode they have 90's kids literally saying "toxic" and "hill you want to die on." Nobody said those phrases in the 90s. Likewise, they layer on clichés of the 90s too with every character just making broad cultural references for no reason. No, people didn't walk around talking about Nirvana in 1994, that ended several years earlier. Likewise, "hey, I'm going to go get some Sunny D," was never said by any teenager during the decade unless they became 5 years old again.

Aside from the lazy writing and pushing "the message," the show literally made no sense. Some alien landed in 1969 and froze people, until it left because the "heroes" turned on a machine randomly? Yea, that's the actually 8 episode pay off. This is why people have left Disney.
