Nice Pull!

Tv EN ↓ 80 episodes

NICE PULL! is the ultimate nostalgia-fueled showdown where two pop culture obsessives battle it out for obscure reference supremacy. Each episode dives headfirst into the glittery abyss of '70s, '80s, and '90s TV, toys, music, commercials, and cereal box lore—scoring each pull by just how deep or weird the reference goes. Expect rants, retro chaos, and the occasional appearance by Danny Bonaduce (seriously). Whether you’re a trivia tyrant or just miss the smell of a freshly cracked VHS tape, this show’s for you.🎧 Hosted by Chris and Jeff.📼 Scored by AI.🏆 Winner gets bragging rights.
