NostalgiaCast episodes

  • Episode 59: JURASSIC PARK (1993)
    An adventure 65 million years in the making. A conversation that takes significantly less so. Jason of Binge Movies joins Jonny and Darin for a discussion of Steven Spielberg's JURASSIC PARK, the box office behemoth that captured the imaginations of movie nerds the world over. But is it the Bearded One's last gasp at populist entertainment? Grab your Jeff Goldblum memes and give us a listen!

  • Episode 58: THE GODS MUST BE CRAZY (1980)
    Cultures collide as NostalgiaCast spins the Coke bottle back to Jamie Uys's (that's ACE to you!) crossover comedy classic, THE GODS MUST BE CRAZY. Listen as Jonny and Darin giggle incessantly about the movie's Jacques Tati-inspired slapstick; chat about the boundless charms of stars Nǃxau ǂToma, Marius Weyers, and Sandra Prinsloo; and wax philosophical about Uys's decision to shy away from political subtext and focus on plain old JOY instead. Ay-yi-yi-yi-yi, you're in for a treat!

  • Episode 57: CLUELESS (1995)
    Party with the Hay-tians and roll with the homies as NostalgiaCast winds back the rotating closet on CLUELESS, Amy Heckerling's coming-of-age teen comedy classic starring Alicia Silverstone and Paul Rudd! Author RJ Craddock joins Jonny and Darin for a butt-crazy-in-love conversation about the film that defined many a sleepover, made "As if!" a household term, and kicked off our obsession with Rudd's porcelain-skinned, perpetually nineteen-year-old face! You'll be totally buggin' if you miss it!

  • Episode 56: STAKEOUT (1987)

    Grab your binoculars and your listening devices as NostalgiaCast joins Richard Dreyfuss and Emilio Estevez on a STAKEOUT! John Badham's buddy cop comedy-thriller may have struck gold at the box office back in 1987, but how does its audience-pleasing mix of clever gags and violent action stack up to the RUSH HOURs and THE NICE GUYSes of today? Listen as Jonny and Darin discuss genre tropes, the chemistry between the co-stars, '80s perving, and more!

"Is this a kissing book?" "You killed my father, prepare to die!" ... all the best quotes are here. It'd be inconceivable of you to miss it!

  • Episode 51: CLOAK & DAGGER (1984)

    Grab your rottweiler-sized rolling dice and your video game cassette tapes as Jonny and Darin take a look back at Richard Franklin's 1984 kiddie classic CLOAK & DAGGER, starring Henry Thomas (from E.T.) and Dabney Coleman (who's the best). But does this wannabe Hitchcock-ian thriller score points with us as adults? Or do its attempts to offer deeper meanings for the kiddos make us toss our joysticks at the screen in a profanity-filled rage? Not even Jack Flack can escape NostalgiaCast's clutches!

    Great Scott! Celebrate the 50th episode of NostalgiaCast as Jonny and Darin welcome author / podcaster / fellow film fanatic Luke R. Harris for a discussion of BACK TO THE FUTURE, starring Michael J. Fox and Christopher Lloyd. We all know the backstory and the Spielberg-ian touches that made Robert Zemeckis's seminal time-travel comedy such an enduring classic, so what could we possibly add to the discourse that hasn't already been said? Make like a tree and listen as we give it our best shot!
