“One does not simply skip over a Ready 2 Retro Episode”

To kickoff #lortmonth here on Ready 2 Retro, we have the honor to have a conversation with actor Phil Grieve! Phil was in all three "Lord of the Rings" movies as various orcs and most recently was in Amazon's "The Rings of Power" series. Join in the conversation as R2R's own Fellowship ask Phil questions about his experience on set, the process of applying prosthetic makeup, New Zealand and just as with every guest, we put him in the HOT SEAT!

Week 4 of Nick November is here! This week we are talking about one of the most significant movies in Nickelodeon history, "Harriet the Spy" (1996). Being that "Harriet the Spy" is the first movie ever to be produced by "The Orange Splat", we definitely had to give it the Ready 2 Retro treatment.

Join Max & Chelsea as they revisit this film for the first time in over two decades!

In week 3 of #nicknovember we huddle around the campfire to tell spooky stories from everyone's favorite scary kids show "Are You Afraid of the Dark?". Joining this week is Dean & Alex from the Return Revenge Resurrection Podcast!

We will be diving into three specific episodes from our past: "The Tale of the Nightly Neighbors", "The Tale of the Shiny Red Bicycle" and "The Tale of Old Man Corcoran".

So grab your security blanket, grab a flashligh and listen to the episode now!

This week on @ready2retro, we are joined by John Speas from the Blast From Our Past Podcast to talk about the much obscure and even more forgotten, Nickelodeon show "Fifteen". In this episode we discuss the more adult themes the show focused on, the DRAMA between the charaters, how horrible Brooke was to the rest of the characters and how Ryan Reynolds' acting career was launched in this show. All this plus a special announcement about the future of BFOP!

So trevel back to the early 90s and join us as we revisit Hillside!

The first offical #nicknovember episode in 2023 is an absolute classic! Beyond just Nickelodeon fans, Salute Your Short's Zeke the Plumber episode called "Ghost Story" is a generation-defining moment for all Millennials.

@ready2retro does an unconventional method of review for "Ghost Story;" we go scene by scene and do an in-depth overview of this memorable Nick episode. Joining in the conversation is Jesse from the Sight & Sound Podcast from @heartgodmedia. If you know who Zeke the Plumber is, you DO NOT want to miss the episode!

Our 50s classics remade in the 80s theme comes to a conclusion with our review of the much underrated sci-fi/horror film, "The Blob" (1988)!
