It's called a Walkman.

Oh, okay.

I didn't know that.

I play a 90s teen.

In our new film, The Electric State.

And I was.

A real life 90s teen.

Let's see who had it better.

I would just take a selfie like this.

Ours, we would have to turn this on.

I think you have to turn it on and charge it.

Surely not, you had a mirror, no, you can't see yourself.

Okay, ready?

Oh my God, it was on.

And it comes out like this.

Yeah.

And then you shake it like a Polaroid.

Have you ever heard that?

No.

Of course you haven't.

So depressing.

Which of these items do you think helps a person listen to a song?

Obviously, it's out of these two.

It's this, this thing you didn't know what it was.

It's called a Walkman.

Wait, what are these then?

Those are answering machines.

What?

That's like a voicemail, voicemail was this, you would record your own voicemail onto a tape.

You would have an outgoing message, that was like my Instagram as a kid.

My outgoing message, I would always make it funny, it's the first time I could entertain someone through technology.

This is cool, I like this.

I would use this now.

If I didn't want to listen to it's your thing, I would have to fast forward through all of it's your thing to get to dreams to remember.

That's horrible.

And here's here's the art.

There was once a time when artists who made tapes, they curated their music into a very intentional list.

I like that.

So you would start with the first song and then the second and third, now it's just like go to whatever new platform isn't hitting just.

Taylor Swift curates her album from start to finish.

You don't have to listen to her album that way, you can go on Spotify and hit shuffle and listen to it however the AI decides.

No, but you don't understand, Swifties wouldn't, you don't understand.

You can't send a text on that.

Yeah, you can.

You have to press the buttons to the letter.

Or three times, that space, it would take a very, very long time.

Did you send like smiley faces?

I would write out.

80085 and then never mind.

If you don't know, now you know.

Chris Pratt, how does it feel to be working with the Millie Bobby Brown?

Incredible.

Can you zoom in on that thing?

Can you zoom in?

Not like me.

Yes.

Did you have SD cards?

No.

This would actually go onto a tiny tape inside of here, and then that tape would fit inside of a VHS tape that would have a cassette opener.

But also no way to edit.

So we had to learn to edit on the fly.

That's what I thought that was.

Yeah, tape recorder.

That's so cute.

I would go on my voice memo app.

Stop and then I go.

Wait, does this have a tape too?

Yeah, and then I rewind it.

Oh, it's kind of eerie.

Yeah, it is.

It's very CIA and it's very like uh Donnie Brasco, you know, like this.

I don't know who that is.

Okay.

So clearly the 90s were better in every way and I just feel bad for today's teens and their little tiny sleek devices.

See more 90s nostalgia in The Electric State, only on Netflix.
