Nostalgia alert! One of your fave flicks from the ’90s is coming back—to Netflix, that is. The streaming service recently announced the epic coming-of-age film Now and Then will make it’s debut in August.

In case you haven’t watched the 1995 friend-filled film in 24 years or so, it focuses on four childhood friends, not so surprisingly, now and then. With, of course, then being a memory-making 1970 summer.

With a lineup of well-known actresses (both as the young and older versions of each character), Now and Then starred a young Christina Ricci, Thora Birch, Gaby Hoffman and Ashleigh Moore along with their adult counterparts Rosie O’Donnell, Melanie Griffith, Demi Moore and Rita Wilson.

The beloved tween-to-adult flick was almost a small screen series back in 2015. Now and Then writer, Marlene King, told Entertainment Weekly, “It was on ABC Family but they wanted to change it so the ‘now’ was present day and the ‘then’ would be the ‘90s.” King continued, “I didn’t want to do that—I felt that kind of ruins how special the movie is.… To me, there will never be a 1970s again, so to try to set it in the ‘90s when we had cell phones and things like that, I don’t think it would work.”

So for now, and then, we’ll all have to wait and watch the memorable movie on Netflix—starting Aug. 1!

Check off another retro comeback because Netflix just announced it’s doing a She-Ra reboot. Princess Adora and her powerful gal pals will be returning to the screen later this year under the DreamWorks and Netflix title, She-Ra and the Princesses of Power.

The classic show that debuted in 1985 is getting a complete makeover, thanks to modern animation. There’s no word yet if Prince Adam (a.k.a He-Man) will be joining twin sis on the new adventures.

She-Ra and the Princesses of Power is coming packed with notable voices. You can expect to hear the likes of Sandra Oh (Grey’s Anatomy), A.J. Michalka (The Goldbergs), and Lorraine Toussaint (Orange is the New Black), just to name a few.

Like the original series, She-Ra and her lady friends are expected to bring vivid imagery of powerful women and strong friendships as they defend the Crystal Castle. One of the first female heroes in cartoon form, She-Ra has the opportunity to inspire an entirely new generation of young girls. Say it with me now: “We are She-Ra!”

Netflix hasn’t yet announced the official release date for She-Ra, but we do know it will be sometime in 2018. The last lingering question we have is: will we get to see a new and improved Skeletor?

The film, which was set in 2015, had a view of the future that hasn’t exactly come to fruition. One thing that has? The never-before-seen Pepsi bottle Marty gets in the movie:

PepsiCo is releasing a limited edition Back to the Future memorabilia piece, which replicates the bottle Mcfly held in the 1989 film. PepsiCo will release only 6,500 of their highly anticipated product October 21, aka the day Marty time traveled in the movie, and just for kicks the starting price for these futuristic bottles is $20.15. Well played PepsiCo, well-played!
