Episode 29 is here. And we're looking for all of the AL-coholics out there....Weird Al Fans that is!!

We're joined once again by another special guest - this time the "Mile High Samurai" himself Gary (@PitfallGary), host of our newest favorite nostalgia podcast, Gen X Archives, as he serves as the important swing vote in determining the winner between several great head to head matchups as we begin our quest to find the GREATEST WEIRD AL PARODY SONG OF ALL TIME. It's the first of a four-part series of episodes as we start with 16 Weird Al songs in the first bracket, the "Twinkie Weiner Sandwich Division".

Stay tuned for future episodes releasing in 2026 as we make our way through all 64 songs to find out the eventual winner.

It's WEIRD AL MADNESS here at the Retro Resurgence!

November is here....and so are we here with Episode 28!

The main topic this week is focused on great films of the past - with a caveat - we're narrowing down the scope to only look at movies with One-Word Titles (sorry Citizen Kane!) Ken and Chad discuss five of their favorite films, and also give another five films that can generally be found on people's all time favorites list.

In Nostalgia Oasis News, Chad gives some information on the newly dedicated "Hulk Hogan Trail" in Clearwater, Florida, and Ken discusses an idea tossed around called Retro Escapes, a theme park that features five decade-themed lands spanning from the 1950s to the 1990s.
