  • Nostalgia Blinded 32: The Nick Nick Power Hour
    It's the crossover event of the previous decade: two entitled pre-teens with a dangerous excess of personal power are tasked with solving the problems they themselves consistently create in half an hour or less, minus commercial breaks. The only difference is that one does it with science and the other with magic. Oh, and also one of them is rendered in some of the worst-aging early 2000s CGI you've ever seen and the other is a cross-section of Butch Hartman's prime animation work, before he became a Youtuber and started charging three figures for commissions. That's right, we're talking Jimmy Neutron and Fairly Odd Parents, two of Nickelodeon's heaviest hitters... but apparently they're not heavy enough to get into Nick All Star Brawl, so who's to say? Follow Andy Huber (@yafroglog on Instagram) for amazing art stuff!

  • Nostalgia Blinded 31: It's Synching Now
    It's a brave new world of Nostalgia Blinded, everyone: today it's not a TV show, video game, film, book, or song, but instead an outmoded and discontinued piece of consumer electronics hardware. Listen... we'll be the first to admit that we occasionally suffer a dearth of compelling commentary about the main episode topic, and we're certainly not going to be diving into the audio processor specs of Nick's iPod Nano, so expect some tangents, from old emails to misbegotten bids for YouTube let's play fame to the wonderful works of one Mr. Weird Al Yankovik. Really, it's crazy how many parts of our lives these tiny pieces of plastic touched. Almost like the wide variety of songs they could hold... which was like, 40. This week, the Nicks plug in to talk some iPod Nano! Follow Andy Huber (@yafroglog on Instagram) for amazing art stuff!

  • Nostalgia Blinded 30: N-B-Z-A (please support the official release)
    That's right folks: this week the Nicks are diving into the YouTube comedy stylings of one very special team, from Dragon Ball Z Abridged to crazy popular one-offs to gameplay and podcasts and beyond. When these shows were as formative as they were to these two Nicks, it's pretty hard to talk about them without just quoting it verbatim... which is why the Nicks might just need to do a little bit of abridging themselves. Fire up those video editors and keep an eye on the lip flaps, because this week the Nicks are talking Team Four Star! Follow Andy Huber (@yafroglog on Instagram) for amazing art stuff!

  • Nostalgia Blinded 29: ShaMAR Awakens King
    We hope you're ready for another trip to the local library manga shelf today, folks, because we've got a twofer for ya today. It's an unlikely pair of manga that had a big influence on Nick's fictional universe, as well as on the Shonen battle and isekai genre respectively. Join the Nicks as they battle to become the Shaman King, and then are transported into the wonderful world of MAR! Or is it MARE? MEUR? Who's to say?

  • Nostalgia Blinded 28: Just Good, Clean Baseball (But Like, It's Mario)

    From that one commercial where the two boys and their teacher were trash talking each other in baseball hand signs, to a campaign mode with absolutely ZERO supernatural occurrences, Mario Super Sluggers captured our imaginations. Then promptly lost them when we realized that the game was just baseball. Thankfully, it recognized this and never actually forces you to play through 9 innings of baseball. It instead forces you to play through a Monkey Island-esque point and click adventure campaign to unlock all the deepest of deep cut characters. But I mean, come on, don't you want to play as Baby Daisy? Or Tiny Kong? Or Pink Pianta? Yeah, I thought so. This week, the Nicks step up to the podcast plate and talk about Mario Super Sluggers!

  • Nostalgia Blinded 27: Bronc Burnett and his Dead, Dead Mom
    We're looking for a pretty specific breed of children's book on this week's episode. No stand-alone books, no continuing plot threads, and certainly nothing over about a hundred pages. We get pretty deep in our nostalgia... and then go even deeper and talk about young adult books from like the 1920s. It gets pretty weird. This week, the Nicks crack open some Magic Tree House, Geronimo Stilton, and much, much more! Follow Andy Huber (@yafroglog on Instagram) for amazing art stuff!

  • Nostalgia Blinded 26: Welcome to Nick Vale
    That's right folks, we're bringing our first nostalgic podcast to the show. Given the fact that Nostalgia Blinded is, itself, a podcast, the implications are fascinating. Like a snake eating it's own tail, the very fabric of our reality winds in on itself, ceaselessly rippling, trapped within it's totalizing knowledge of it's own nature. It's a bit existentially horrifying, when you think about it... but, you know, in a cozy, Tumblr-friendly sort of way. This week, the Nick's tune in to some community radio and Welcome you... to Night Vale.  Follow Andy Huber (@yafroglog on Instagram) for amazing art stuff!

  • Nostalgia Blinded 25: Extreme Sports Grandma Lies

    Up on the chopping block this week is a movie the Nicks remember being shoved in front of multiple times when they were kids, and that movie is Hoodwinked! Let me tell you, it's a wild fucking movie folks. Wikipedia isn't even quite sure of how to describe it. For us though, we don't see any themes or genres, we just see Red. This week, YOU GET HOODWINKED! INTO LISTENING TO THE NICKS TALK ABOUT HOODWINKED!, BABY!

  • Nostalgia Blinded 24: Hikaru no Go to the Polls
    We got as much mileage as we could out of that one stupid thing Hillary Clinton said five years ago, but not nearly as much mileage as this middle-schooler got out of being possessed by an ancient Japanese board game-playing ghost. He'll use that ghost to cheat against his pretty-boy Go prodigy rival, train for his comprehensive Go exams, and of course to work up the motivation he needs to build a successful career on the Go tournament circuit. Wait... is this manga just about Go? And there are no ghost power trick stones? Okay. This week, the Nicks learn to place their stones like pros and talk about Hikaru no Go!

  • Nostalgia Blinded 23: Slamball is Basketball With Violence

    The writer's strike really shaped television in the late 2000's and early 2010's. Without the rise of realty television, we may have never gotten the CN Real Block. Wednesday evenings were filled with Mythbusters, Ghost Hunters, and regular sports rip offs usually hosted by actual children. These kids would blow up forklifts and jump off of roofs. Someone may have gotten hurt were it not for the benevolent Party Deity watching over them. This week, the Nicks TALK, TALK, TALK about a grab bag of CN Real Shows (Dude, What Would Happen?, Slamball, Destroy Build Destroy).
