Is It (Still) Good?

Leisure EN ↓ 79 episodes

Jump aboard the nostalgia train as two friends James and Zachary take a look at everything from their childhood, and yours, to ask the question... is it still good? From classic video games to cartoons. Super heroes to must have toys, nothing is off limits as long as someone has a fond memory of it. And maybe those memories hold up, or maybe it's best to leave the past where it is. We won't know unless we ask, is it still good? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
