There’s no time for introductions; that’s why everyone gets name tags. There’s music playing and Ellen’s already crying. The pass the parcel game gets some of us to open up about ourselves. Meanwhile, Ellen flirts with her crush, who she imagines is called James, which brought up a specific bitter teenage memory for me. Success!

The Awkward Years is a short, sharp, hilarious visit to memories you’ve long forgotten.

At only twenty minutes long, you’ll want to revisit The Awkward Years again and again. That’s nostalgia for you.
