Ready 2 Retro

Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas!

For Episode 118, "My Cousin Chris" subjects Max to watch "Christmas Every Day" (1996). Ok, we'll be nice. No, this ABC Family Movie is not that great of a viewing, but we know it's nostalgic for many millennials out there. It definetly is nostalgic for Chris, which is why we're talking about it!

Join Ready 2 Retro for our holiday special as Max and Chris share some Christmas stories from their childhood in the 90s as well as share our thoughts on "Christmas Every Day"!

Welp, it happened. We reviewed the infamous TMNT Christmas special from 1994 titled "We Wish You A Turtle Christmas". It can't be THAT bad could it? Well, we invited the TMNT expert and our buddy Joey from @ninjatoitles to find out!

In this episode we break down every scene and song in the special and in doing so, end up laughing a lot throughout the process.

Happy Holidays and Cowabunga dudes!
