96 Married (with Seth Zarate)

Stoop Kidz!: A Hey Arnold! Podcast

Seth’s back on the stoop and he’s got COOTIES in this very special episode of Stoop Kidz! Rhonda’s origami game predicts each kid’s perfect matrimonial pair in “Married”. That’s right – she knows exactly who’s gonna tie the knot with whom, somewhere down the line: Peapod Kid and Nadine; Sheena and Eugene; Arnold and Helga… wait, WHAT??? The rest of the episode plays out in opposing dream sequences: Helga’s vision of her perfect married life and Arnold’s depressingly dour subconscious. But even more interesting than the things we get to see (the kids of PS 118 “all growed up”) is what their dreams say about the feelings football-headed boy and his pining potential paramour: The kinds of things they can admit to themselves, how they confront their deeply held insecurities, and “Married” as a microcosm for the show’s central conflict.
