Is It (Still) Good?

We're here, we have nostalgia, and that's not going away. Right now we know for a lot of people, it's a scary time. So it's easy to want to look back on things we remember fondly. And we are just happy to give you a space to do that! You need a break? Because we sure did so we booted up Saints Row 3 and put on The Rocketeer! Grab your pop corn and controllers, it's time to find out... is it still...

It's that time of year again, when the ghosts and goblins come out and we remember how great it was to have a whole night of sugar high! So grab your costumes and come remember with us, as James brings back memories of a movie he was probably too young to see at the time and Zachary talks about his favorite goth family with the Addams Family. So grab a slice of pie, a handful of chocolate, and sit...

Did you ever think that learning could be fun? Neither did we but then we all died of dysentery. This week hold the power of the sun in the palm of your hand and the dusty trail under your feet as James talks one of the best Spider-Man movies ever, trust us. And Zachary gets nerdy again and talks about all thing educational entertainment! So come enjoy swinging from webs and blasting that math as...

Okay so we all wanted the microwave that magically made McDonald's right? RIGHT?! Come join us this week as we talk about all the Spy Kids we grew up with. From the first fight with Floop, to pondering god and The Guy. We go over everything as we find out is Spy Kids still good? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

This program is brought to you by nostalgia and viewers like you, thank you! If you got that, you grew up on public access tv like Zachary, and it shows. This week we get into a surprisingly star studded kids show on PBS with Cyberchase and a PS2 game that we're pretty sure most people haven't heard of with Scaler. So if you're into Doc Brown bad guys and long forgotten 3D platformers, come with u...

Someone, get this hedgehog a gun! Is a thing that some game developer definitely said in the 2000's. We assume... as this week we look back on a thing that doesn't hold up, and one that surprisingly does. We'll let you guess which one is which as Zachary brings the Vin Diesel movie XxX and James talks all things Shadow the Hedgehog. So grab your skateboards, collect your rings, and join us to see....

Some days, you can't get rid of a bomb! While we didn't have that large of an issue, we did miss last week so get ready for the first part of the nostalgia double feature! Starting off strong with Zachary recounting a Batman even he was too young to be a fan of, and James talking horror that we all saw probably a little too early in our lives. So sit back, get ready for bad puns and cheesy horrors...

Sure we're a little sick but we definitely have some ridiculous things lined up for the second part of our oopsie double feature. This week James brings the best of more super heroes with Young Justice and Zachary can't stop playing games that were way too mature for him as a kid with Shadow of Rome. So suit up, grab your favorite gladius, and lets find out if it is still good! Hosted on Acast. Se...

Gotta catch them all, and by all we do mean feelings because at least one of our topics made us cry. The other made us cackle with horrific glee while we played god. Emotions are a spectrum you know? So this week join us as we talk about the original Pokemon movie and The Sims and figure out... is it still good? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Time to let it rip! And by that we do mean that there is the briefest mention of Beyblade, but that's for another episode. This week instead we discuss what was arguably the best set of Legos ever invented, don't fight us, and one of the most wild game series about carving snow. So join us as we rock around, that's right, and find out... is it still good? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for...

Well if you didn't think we grew up as nerds already... can we change your mind? Jump back into a fond memory brought to us by the PS2 this week as James talks about Marvel: Ultimate Alliance. And if that is too mainstream for you, listen to Zachary talk about a fever dream of sci-fi books he read a long time ago. So grab your favorite candy, listen to the crackle of the tube tv, and come with us...

Who's ready to finally talk about the thing that made us all love pain? No... just us? Well then ignore that statement as we are joined by out friend Santy this week as we talk about all of our favorite swamps and Sisyphean moments, in a game series all about dying again, and again, and again. So grab your moonlight great sword and join your favorite covenant as we check Dark Souls and see, is it...

Pull the devil trigger and lets gets going! As this week we rev up the style all the way to triple S rank and talk about some of the most stylish games that ever graced the PS2. The original Devil May Cry series is a classic that we talk about for way too long, but we also manage to slip in some talks about Dark Cloud. A game that we can't quite pin down the genre of but settle on rouge like light...

In a hole in the internet, there lived a podcast. And that podcast lets two friends gush about some of the best things ever, because this week James and Zachary have some absolute bangers! From the classic tale of a hobbit just trying to make it back home to the adventures of a favorite canine friend, we get to enjoy some of the best story telling on page and on screen. So if you like weird old wi...

When there's trouble you know who to call! And it's not us. But if you want to look back on some stuff you remember fondly, well we're happy to do that! This week James reminds us that our childhood cartoons kicked but with the Teen Titans series. And Zachary remembers a time of portable gaming before the Switch but still after the GameBoy. So grab your bag of UMD discs, don your capes, and come f...

That's it, we're getting into some wild Disney nostalgia this week. But it wouldn't be us if it were things that made any sense. So instead, let's talk about Robin Williams as Peter Pan and doing Christ Airs as Tarzan. Don't worry, you did read that all correctly. And really don't worry, they're both still good! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

We're back with some host (and hopefully your) favorites! This week Zachary shows his true nerdy side as he talks about the Batman of the future, while James goes backwards to pay tribute to a legend. So get ready to fight some villains and quote some Vines, as we once again ask... is it still good? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

*Insert the theme music that we don't have the rights for, you know the one* Alright, this one is a big one. They're all big ones when it comes to our nostalgia but not much is bigger than the canonical 6 foot 7 and 287 lb might that is the Master Chief. And yes we looked those stats up. So get ready to talk flood, grunts, and warthogs with James before Zachary brings us back really old school wit...

We have our first guest on this week as our good friend comes along to get angsty and weird with us as we look back on the Persona series. With a full range of experience in the series between the three of us, we talk about the good, the bad, and the just plain weird of a series that is huge for a lot of people. Our guest included. So come look back on over 300 hours of jrpg with us while we try t...

Back and ready to go nuts, because its nostalgia or nothing this week! After a quick recap of the last few episodes to start, we go ready for some of our favorites this week. Zachary can't get enough (or can he) of our favorite foam dart shooters, and James brings our first musical appearance on the show. So from plastic six shooters, to the first metal to make you feel something, we look back on...

Sometimes the best things you remember are timeless comic book cartoons that helped shape your young mind. And sometimes you're a big nerd like Zachary and watched a lot of educational media growing up. Either way, we are here to put it to the test and see if it passes our much older vibe checks. So grab ahold of your early 90's CGI dinosaur, fill up those web shooters, and come find out if a few...

We find out the hard way that somethings... they just don't hold up. While others seem to age like a fine wine! There may be no war in Ba Sing Se but there is a lot of heat in this episode as James talks about the treasure that is Avatar: The Last Air Bender and the sister show The Legend of Korra. Zachary brings something less appealing with the TV network, Spike TV. So get ready to have a few up...

Did we talk too long about hunks of cheap plastic? Yes. Did we end up having our theme song for this show influenced but what James brought this time? Also yes. Look, somethings in the 90s and 2000s are as good as we remember! But that's what this show is all about right? So if you liked pretending to be a rock star or knowing kung fu, welcome to the party pal! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/priva...

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 u...

Get ready for the first in a long line of weird pulls as James and Zachary start the first episode strong with two games they might have been a little too young to be growing up with. Dive into the absurd fantasy humor of Zachary's favorite chicken chaser as he discusses the good and evil of the original Fable games before James revs up in Gears of War.
