Nostalgia Killers

We are joined by the fraternal podcasting duo Zach Blaustone and Nathan Blaustone from the Moral Combat Podcast to take a wild ride through an unregulated theme park filled with giant monsters that a certain Mr. Meteor long ago decided should take a long nap. This classic doesn’t disappoint upon close inspection and rewatch, and we all agree that this movie still holds up. Thanks again to Zach and...

For our first Founders Edition episode we revisit Luc’s most favoritest movie of all time, but Chuck and Javier have a few bones to pick… The directorial debut of George Clooney, starring Sam Rockwell, Julia Roberts, Dew Barrymore, Rutger Hauer, and many more, we follow an adaptation of the book written by Chuck Barris that toys with the idea that he was a CIA contract killer during his TV career....

The show is on the road and Luc is joined by Erika Smallen (djtoosmalls) to reminisce about 1985’s Back to the Future. This widely loved and overly poured over movie doesn’t disappoint when it comes to nostalgia, but we soon stumble upon some problematic plot points. Guest: Erika Smallen (djtoosmalls) https://www.twitch.tv/djtoosmalls Note from Luc: my apologies for the poor audio on this one. I t...

Kyle Warner joins us with a gem from his past: Blue Streak. Martin Lawrence, Dave Chapelle, Luke Wilson, and Peter Green star in this comedy of errors heist movie from 1999.

We traverse the trail of rainbow carnage in various Bilgewater’s restaurants across the midwest with Hedwig and the Angry Inch. We are joined by Julia Kaplan to discuss this underappreciated masterpiece in filmmaking and storytelling. Written, directed, and performed by John Cameron Mitchell with original bangers from Stephen Trask, we marvel at the caked-on layers and metaphors for love and ident...

We finally got our 4th microphone and just in time for Luc, Chuck, and Taylor to be joined by Lauren Heney to wallow in the nostalgia for this subversive film about faith, sexuality, and what it really means to be a good human. Featuring Jenna Malone, Mandy Moore, Patrick Fugit, and Heather Matarazzo among others.

They don’t come much fresher than this, folks! Recorded and edited within 4 hours. We are joined once again by Robert Negoesco to talk about 40 Days and 40 Nights. We manage to find lots to talk about despite how poorly this movie has aged. An initiation episode for Luc Londe as he had not seen it before, and now requires therapy, so please consider becoming a Patron. https://www.patreon.com/Nosta...

We are back with our 11th episode with a re-tooled format almost in time for Mother’s Day with the cult classic Serial Mom. This is also our first “initiation” episode as we are joined once again by Taylor Diffenderfer who has never seen the film before preparing for this podcast. Join us as we gush over our darling John Waters and one of his most biting, slashing, and stabbing films… you know, ot...

We complete the milestone 10th episode of this podcast with a much better, funnier, digest-able movie: Happy Gilmore.

We are joined by Jason Santos to delve deep into the mind of a manchild who has never had to do anything for himself. Lo and behold! We find secret conspiracies and discover that this baffling assembly of footage is a cleverly disguised version of Hamlet. …we think.

Taylor Diffenderfer once again joins us to discuss the cult classic Ghost World.

Luc and Chuck are joined once again by Robert Negoesco to peel back the layers of nostalgia we though we had for this movie. Robert Negoesco:https://www.instagram.com/robert_negoesco/ Nester: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PSgubuTKsvU

We once again track down Javier Martinez and impose ourselves to record a podcast in his kitchen. We talk about our love for this film while acknowledging its clumsy racial stereotyping, as well as techniques for advanced movie hopping. New Cocktail: East Meets West - Cognac and Bubble Tea (*****)

We finally manage to wrangle in our 3rd founder, Javier Martinez, for this indie favorite. Full of guns and f*cks, it’s shits and giggles until we meet the Funny Man. Please check out our Patreon where you can hear our post-pod banter, raw and unedited. Because we’re lazy and we need money.

For our third episode we welcome comic book author and filmmaker Robert Negoesco to guest host while Chuck is off galivanting around Europe. We search and dissect Paul Verhoeven’s 1986 hyper-violent satire Robocop and find that our love for the film only grows.

Not having been hunted down and disappeared for starting a new podcast, Chuck and Luc take a deep dive into the ‘member berries of 1992’s Stay Tuned. While there’s lots to love and cherish with this film, the Devil is in the details. And Jeffrey Jones.

In our inaugural episode we revisit the juggernaut film of the late 90s.
