Welcome to What The Nostalgia podcast. The podcast where we go back and review movies from our formative years on up to our late teens. By the end of the podcast we ask ourselves were we just looking at the content through rose colored lens. Or is it still as nostalgic as before.
This year made 30 years since this classic was released. The guys weave around the Pulp Fiction time line and get into the dialouge and world of Tarantino, Samuel L Jackson's performance, and everybody still wants to know what is in that damn briefcase! All of this and more on this episode of WTN!
So we've reached the 20 year mark of the release of White Chicks. Feeling old yet? Like usual, there's plenty to argue in today's film. We somehow disagree on the believability of Marlon's fighting skills (or lack thereof), and the validity of the plan to dress as white chicks. All this and more on What The Nostalgia?!?
Today we review Horror/Comedy Zombieland and we disagree on plenty. Including the genre itself, a different casting choice for Jesse Eisenberg, and the idea of the world coming together in a zombie apocalypse. All this and more on WTN!?!
In today's episode we go back to the future with 1997's Austin Powers. We discuss Michael Myers place in comedy as well as the state of 90s humor, and many of the James Bond spoofs. All this and more on WTN!
This week the guys jump into the 2005 Nior film Sin City. This film takes violence to new levels with a story that connects three different characters throughout. We debate who had the best story line as well as who we think did it best. We speak on the world of Sin City in general and how they failed miserably at the opportunity of continuing characters stories. All this and more on WTN!
Toys come to life in this 1995 family comedy Toy Story starring Tom Hanks and Tim Allen. The WTN pair break out their inner child and discuss their favorite toys, was something off about the guy singing the theme songs, Buzz Lightyear's road to humility, and much more. We toys can see EVERYTHING! So play nice.
This week we hop in the world of corruption with Denzel Wasington and Ethan Hawke as they star in the 2001 classic: Training Day. This has to be the wildest first day on the job in history. We talk about Denzels Oscar winning performance and what scene we believe won him the award. We hit on Jake's need to want to do good in this world causing his downfall but also leading to his survival. Enjoy this week's review on WTN!
Taking the horror route this episode, we bring in 2008's Cloverfield. How scary is this movie, really? Where were you when the promotional genius of this movie first dropped? We debate some comparisons, and also, we disagree on the deaths of certain characters. Did anyone make it out? Or does this mysterious monster destroy everything and everyone in its path? Lastly, what would you do for love on the brink of world destruction? All this and more on WTN!
Today's episode of 1999's The Wood we debate on the casting issues of some of the characters' younger selves; we speak on bad drunk performances, also, we talk about a few interesting facts that spark from this film leading into other films you may or may not know. All this and more on this week's episode of WTN!
In this review, we bring up the fact that Cuba Gooding looks nothing like the real radio, so we try to come up with some better casting solutions. If only Kirk Lazarus was around because this is another wasted special needs performance, no Oscar's, starting to think we shouldn't have reviewed this.
This Mini-episode, the guys discuss the films they are most looking forward to this year. Safe to bet your money that they don't agree on what will be good or bad with some of the choices they pick.
Guns, unhinged comedy, and a star-studded cast. We open up briefly on the state of the movie comedy world, we also take a guess at what movie within the movie each of us would choose to see. We end up breaking into a wild Tom Cruise debate that may or may not have gone on too long. Enjoy this week's review of Tropic Thunder!
Pause for a second and ask yourself, "Can I name more than 3 dinosaurs?"...If yes, then you have the classification to listen to this episode...If not, you still can listen because we couldn't name more than 3 ourselves. Either way, enjoy this 90's classic! Link in bio.
