Nostalgia's Perspective episodes
- Episode Fifteen: Be More Kind
Outside it’s 2021… so maybe stay inside with us! This time we’re chatting about Frank Turner’s seventh studio album, “Be More Kind”. Join us as we pick apart the different approaches the album presents for living through difficult times, discuss the drop off that occurs halfway through the album, and spend a long while lamenting on the madness that has been the last six years.

Grab your glider, save an ohm, and whatever the world throws at you, just keep trying, because this time we’re back with Hayao Miyazaki for his 1984 film, “Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind”. Join us as we dive deep into the film’s environmentalist and anti-war themes, discuss why Nausicaä is such a heartbreaking protagonist, and figure out how a film which makes us cry so goddamn much can ultimately still feel hopeful.

1 hr 7 min - Episode Ten: Get Over It
Fall off a roof, polish the rocket and get shot in the arm by Kirsten Dunst because we’re heading back to 2001 to explore Jay’s favourite noughties teen movie, “Get Over It”. Join us as we analyse how it compares to other teen comedies of the time and discuss whether young kids should be allowed to watch films made for teenagers. Also, Jay fanboys over A Midsummer Night’s Rockin’ Eve and Georgia outlines her new History curriculum? It’s possible we lose our way slightly...
SHOW NOTES
If you haven’t watched the film, get a taste of the musical brilliance Georgia missed out on!

Grab yourself a bottle of Strawberry Hill (by which we mean Ribena) and a pack of cigarettes (by which we mean a box of candy matchsticks) and meet us in the smoking hole because this time we’re talking about John Green’s 2005 novel, “Looking For Alaska”. Join us as we discuss the importance of being thoughtful and careful when representing depression and suicide in media, how Pudge is at once an infuriating and relatable protagonist, and how community is so important when dealing with grief. Not gonna lie, it’s a heavy one this time.

Strap on your banjo and harmonise like it’s 2009 because this time we’re talking about Mumford & Sons’ debut album, “Sigh No More”. Join us on our many tangents as we wax nonsensical about the album’s beautiful lyricism, the meaninglessness of genre, the importance of album sequencing and what makes music such a uniquely personal medium. We really f***** it up this time… but we had fun doing it!
SHOW NOTE(S)
Our first show note!!! If you enjoyed our conversations about album sequencing and the nostalgic power of music and want to hear someone discussing these things much more succinctly, check out Nathan Zed on YouTube.
