As 90s kids we grew up watching some cult classics which may or may not have aged well. We talk about the 3 Khans who ruled the 90s - Shahrukh, Salman and Aamir. Govinda makes an appearance and a special guest appearance by Lord Bobby Deol. What passed for romance in the 90s, we now understand to be stalking. We discuss the problematic aspects of the movies we enjoyed as kids.
