The Wonder Years: S2E8 Hiroshima Mon Frere

Looking Back On My Wonder Years: A Wonder Years Podcast

Welcome to the weekend Wonderlings, I know I’m ready for it, Are you? I'm your host Angela Bowen and join me as I discuss Season 2 Episode 8: Hiroshima, Mon Frere which aired on February 15, 1989. In this episode Wayne's bullying of Kevin has been getting pretty out-of-hand lately, but when he interferes in a big way with Kevin and Paul's Science Project, Wayne may have gone too far. Time for my flower power episode rating I’m giving it three out of five I did love it don’t get me wrong. 1. For cute hamsters 2. Kevin finally laying into Wayne all those years of anger finally bubbling over and coming to the surface. 3. I didn’t mention Karen’s one scene and only scene in the episode because it was a brothers themed episode. I knocked two points off mainly for Wayne 1. For his abuse of Weezer on the bus, the garbage disposal, and the act of the vacuum ultimately causing his death. 2. Using Weezer to sexually harass Angela. A cute hamster is still not a good way to cop a feel on a teenage girl. Shame on you wayne. He’s also the worst this episode. He’s getting the boosh toilet swirlie. Here’s the quote of the episode: Narrator: As my brother and I walked home that day, I guess we both knew that things would never be quite the same between us. Everything would be more complicated now. Now, we both knew... that I could hurt him. The funny thing was, I'm not sure I was glad about that. Here’s my Wonderling Words of Wisdom: What I got from the episode, siblings fight, that’s just how things are but sometimes things can go too far and we say things in the heat of the moment, we later wish we can take back. The important thing is to talk it out afterward. Don’t hold grudges if you can help it, because there day might come when you will need to lean on each other for support. Don’t have bad blood. And to all you other listeners out there, thanks again for listening.
