The Nostalgia Pit

This week we travel back to 2001, a year that changed everything. Resident bracketologist Drinks w/ Ron decided to tackle the most important and earth shattering event of the year: the formation of Adult Swim.

So of course, we discuss all the shows: Aqua Teen Hunger Force, Sealab 2021, The Venture Brothers, The Boondocks, Home Movies, Assy McGee, and so many more. What show is your favorite? Do you agree with our selections? Let us know if you have any consternation.

This week we welcome in friend of the pod DJ Ian Kenneth! Ian has been here before under alternate aliases, but he's here today in his final form. Make sure you check out his original tunes as well as mixes as soon as possible (links below).

In this episode, we discuss the new Nathan Fielder project You Can See Everything (SPOILER ALERT) as well as the 1998 underwater sci-fi flick Sphere. But that's not all, of course. We also talk doing stand up comedy, manifestation, and the music of Grant Kirkhope of the famed Goldeneye 007, Banjo Kazooie and Perfect Dark (to name a few).

This week, Rob takes us through two different Limited Recalls! The first is on the 1997 animated film Cat's Don't Dance and the second on the 2006 dark fairy tale Pan's Labyrinth.

But you know that's not all we talk about. We discuss the most recent three films in the MCU, the Space Jam soundtrack, and the sweet, sweet croonings of the one and only Randy Newman.

Have you ever listened to the famed Hall & Oates song and wondered: "what is it that they can't go for??!" If so, this is the perfect episode for you! It's time for Song Spelunker as we dig into the meaning of I Can't Go For That (No Can Do) and recklessly speculate about it's possible meaning(s).

And that's not all of course! We also brought back Probin' Time and looked into Steven Spielberg's now defunct animation Amblimation and everything that it gifted us in it's short 4 year run. That's right: Fievel Goes West, We're Back & Balto and all the history around the three 90s cult classic cartoons.

Brackets. Are. BACK! You know what that means... Resident bracketologist Drinks w/ Ron is in the house with another surprise for us. This week, as it is our 17th bracket, Ron decided to make a bracket of our brackets! How very meta of him... Our resident spleen Shroom Daddy 69 is in the house as well to help out.

Besides all the discussion of brackets and recaps of old brackets, we discuss a possible NEW podcast coming to the Lowfalutin network. But that's not all, of course. We also discuss hearing absurd things while riding public transit and the logistics of using certain items as weapons...

We welcome back musician and actor Matt Goodwin into The Pit. He's here to discuss his new record Lights Along the Road which comes out November 13th. With a few singles already out, he was kind enough to allow our audience a EXCLUSIVE sneak peak at one of the songs that is NOT slated to be a single, and thus, will only be out when the record drops.

We also brought back Rob's Reviews and looked at the 2024 film Kung Fu Games starring Matt himself! This movie was released by Tiger Style Media and was the last movie to be filmed on the famous soundstage that was home to the 1997 smash hit Titanic starring Leo DiCaprio & Kate Winslet.

Make sure you check out the film and Matt's music, streaming on all platforms you can find that sort of thing.

We are not dinosaurs, but still, we’re back! Season 7 starts out with some talk about the new Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time reboot, Pokémon, and dystopian technologies. But you know that that’s not all!

We also talk the origins of soap operas, protein maxing, and the legacy of Prince. As well as a review of the Michael Jackson biopic Michael and its effectiveness in articulating reality.

More bonus content! This week, we take you out to the Soundtrack Your Life Podcast hosted by Nicole Barlow and Ryan Pak where they take a look at the the soundtracks that impacted us all. Whether it be a song, band, or a connection to a specific scene, they discuss the personal connections to the soundtrack with a guest!

That guest for this episode is myself (Colin Casserd). We discuss the 1998 Roland Emmerich vehicle that is Godzilla. A big part of my childhood, I could not help but jump at the opportunity to discuss this one with these great folk. Make sure you like, subscribe, rate & review their show and check out some of their other episodes!

We figured it was about to time that the public got to hear what this No5talgia podcast is all about... You may have heard us mentioning our Patreon exclusive podcast where we break down top 5 lists of a nostalgic nature... Well, today we decided to give the public one of these episodes.

So today we have our 14th No5talgia on the greatest summer blockbusters of all time. Rob & Colin break these lists down, and we even get a special guest appearance from the lovely Celina Flores.
