The Nostalgia Pit

If you’ve been listening to the Pit since the beginning, you may recognize the guest on this episode… Neil Vaughn Lawerence was an integral part of many of our episodes in season one, as well as coming up with some fantastic commercial ideas much to our chagrin. Besides hanging out with us, Vaughn knocks it out the park with his mastery in multi-genre production.

In today’s episode, we talk hot honey, Pokemon, and cat cones. We also hear about the most underrated states in the land of hip hop as well as a spelunking into the 1997 hit song, Zoot Suit Riot by the Cherry Poppin’ Daddies.

It’s time to get drunk! Responsibly, that is… Today, we welcome in one of the cofounders of the Greenwood Cider Co. and a deacon on the drums: Marshall Petryni. Marshall is an old friend of mine from the days of high school, and he along with his two brothers have always been some of my favorite people to be around. So we are very excited to have him join us today. Rob even copped a bottle to review!

But this episode is NOT just about cider. We talk about zydeco music, costco hotdogs, and the grittiness of NYC in the 70s. We also debut a new segment! Kevin’s Culinary Catastrophes! Wrap all that up in a bag with about a thousand other things, and that’s us.

This week on Rob’s Reviews, Celina chimes in to talk the new film Leave The World Behind, a dystopian psychological thriller about the fragility of societal infrastructure. But, that’s not all! We ponder the purpose of merkins, flamingos, and movie sequels to be released in 2024.

We also talk mass psychogenic incidents throughout history including one in Seattle from the 1950s as well another from modern day France in the 16th century. Plus! Rob learns what a sharf is! Plus! A very special Song Spelunker!! No Mountain Dew, but this one's sure to be a Blast!

While this episode may be lacquered in post-Christmas disdain for consumerism and music in public settings, we manage to push through the aftermath of Rob’s trip to Best Buy to talk AI dating apps, 90s cartoons that all subsequently were knockoffs of TMNT, and what the greatest prize for being a kid with an appetite for Kool-Aid could be.

We also talk oppositional defiant disorder, the resurgence of swing jazz in nineties media, and ear candles. Plus! We do something that has needed to be done for decades now… We give Santa a makeover.

What do Terrence Howard, kidney medicines, and chocolate bars have in common? Well, nothing, really – but they are all topics of discussion in this. very. episode! Wow… Who’da thunk? But that’s not all we talk about!

We also talk about sin eaters, triangles, and The Sopranos. With one of Rob’s patented reviews, we discuss the Many Saints of Newark. Plus! Kevin takes us through an audition to be in a commercial, and the to-dos and do-nots of acting tryouts.

What’s happenin’ folks? How’s your day going? Is it not going well because you’ve been wrapped up in a web of existential dread? And does that dread come from not knowing what Tutti Frutti by Little Richard is about?! I mean… I’ve lost dozens of hours of sleep just wondering: what the HELL was he talking about…

Well, if I was just describing you or someone you know, than you’re in luck! Rob and Colin get out the flippers and grab their scuba gear, cause it’s a-spelunkin’ time! They also talk bikini baristas, Brad Dourif, and the difference between a contract and serial killer.

This week we welcome in a legend in the slam poetry scene of Bellingham, WA: none other than the fantabulous Spike Daeley. After teaching English all around the world from Tokyo to Boston, we were finally able to land this man as a guest. An absurdly talented poet, rapper, and linguist, Spike brought some wonderful topics for us at the Pit to ponder.

We talk everything from the Bloodhound Gang, to agitated propaganda, to the uptick in conspiracy theories. We also chat about apophenia, the mythic past, and what to do with the art of monstrous men.

It’s time for another patented Rob’s Reviews! This week, we get two for the price of one, with Rob going over some of the spooky films he watched for the Halloween season. The two in question are Cobweb and No One Will Save You; both 2023 films, and as per usual, there WILL be spoilers…

We also talk about Animorphs, plot armor, and alien sex parties. So buckle up them seatbelts, cause we’re gonna take this spaceship up to mach 5.
