The Retrospectives: A Nostalgia Podcast

Welcome to the Season of Trilogies! Join Mark and G as they travel back in time yet again in this brand-new season. Hop on the nostalgia train going back to the 90s and the early aughts. First stop on the Nostalgia Express... Bridget Jones's Diary!

For the season finale, it's gotta be Jerry Ma-fucking-guire! Our season finale takes you to 1996 with this romcom classic starring Tom Cruise, Renee Zellweger, and show me the money himself, Cuba Gooding Jr. Join G and Mark as they bid adieu to the romcom lovefest and a big reveal of what's to come next while we take a break.

And just like that Christmas is just around the corner and we brought out our Christmas offering of the season from 1995 While You Were Sleeping. In this very special episode, Mark and G are joined by Dee of Banana Q Podcast to explore the nostalgia, loneliness and eventual holiday love affairs of wintery Chicago.

A rom-com with a darker twist, Ang Pagdadalaga ni Maximo Oliveros was one of the most important local films of 2005 and arguably the decade. Join G and Mark deconstruct the nostalgia and themes of this Cinemalaya classic.

We take you to 2004 when being flirty, thriving and 30 looked so far out in the horizon, with our movie pick for the week 13 Going 30 starring Jennifer Garner and Mark Ruffalo. Join G and Mark this season as they #nostalgiate with their romcom selections from the 90s to 2000s.

Let's take you back to 1996 when radio was king! Radio Romance starred Gelli de Belen, Paolo Abrera, Sharmaine Arnaiz, Rico Yan, Claudine Barreto and million others it feels like all of Philippine show business was in this movie. And there's another thing that counts to a million in this movie: nostalgic moments! Join G and Mark take on airwaves of the 90s with Radio Romance.

Well, our retro baby is one year old and we can't help but feel nostalgic ourselves! Time does fly and aren't we all a year older, too (maybe wiser) and to celebrate the passing of time - The Retrospectives really is a celebration of time - here's a bonus episode for all of us. Happy anniversary!

Be it 50 First Dates or 50 First Kisses, one thing's for sure: 50 chances at orgasm but none of it delivered the goods. Join G and Mark reminisce the 50 First Months of the New Millennium with Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore in the 2004 happy Hawaiian romcom 50 First Dates.

Who will forget the iconic hair gel scene? Probably a moment that defined a generation. Join G and Mark rewatch There's Something About Mary as they also remember what 1998 was like for them. Was it as raunchy and frat-like as the movie?

As Good As It Gets came out in 1997 and starred Jack Nicholson and Helen Hunt. Join Mark and G as they trace the steps of Melvin as he avoided the lines on sidewalks of 90s New York City.

Next on our season of love's rewatch list is 10 Things I Hate About You. This classic teen movie came out in 1999 and was in fact the movie that launched the careers of Heath Ledger, Julia Styles and Joseph Gordon-Levitt. Join Mark and G as they walk down the halls of high school with 10 Things I Hate About You.

Kicking off our romcom edition, here's a '99 classic about a girl (Julia Roberts) standing in front of a boy (Hugh Grant)... and you sure know how it goes. No one who lived through that year can ever forget this iconic line! Join G and Mark as they walk down memory lane with Notting Hill.

The romcoms are here! No stopping us roaring in full throttle in a season of love and romance in Season 4 of The Retrospectives Podcast. The big twist is we're publishing all the movies we're talking about this season so you can jump in and rewatch them in time for when new episodes come out.

It's here! The final episode of the season! Fresh from their Scoutmag PH interview, Mark and G delve into the popular movies of the early 2000s. To those who missed it, here's the interview produced by Kat Cabral: https://www.scoutmag.ph/71374/filipinos-2000s-pop-culture/. From comedy to rom-com to drama to titillating films, the hosts have captured and summarized what it was like in those days.

Tell us. What comes to mind when you hear the song with these lyrics? "I've been down this road... Walking the line... That's painted by pride..." If you guessed Ally McBeal then you are a 100% correct! The nostalgists, G and Mark, are walking that very same line in this episode as they share the stroll with Ally McBeal as she makes her way home that she shared with Renee.

"So no one told you life was going to be this way!" But actually the show, Friends, did warn us about relationships, heartbreaks, divorces, family, kids, smelly cat and everything in between! Lucky for us, this show will never go away and will forever be one of the best pop culture gifts of the 90s. Most likely everyone's favorite but Mark's (listen as we argue about that), The Retrospectives finally got the chance to talk about Friends. The hour is definitely not enough to unpack such a massive show spanning from 1994 to 2004 but the hosts try anyway but taking the nostalgia scenic route along the discussion.

'DI NYO PO BA NARAMDAMAN ANG MALAMIG NA HANGIN? Ending our Halloween series with probably the most disturbing of the three: Patayin sa Sindak si Barbara (1995). Scary turns absurd and campy at times.
