The Nostalgia Pit

This week we look into the law firm of Joffe, Morton & Jankel and their much overlooked 1993 motion picture project known as Super Mario Bros starring Bob Hoskins, John Leguizamo, Samantha Mathis & Dennis Hopper.

We also watch the movie with our resident spleen and friend of the pod Saddy Mayo from the twitterverse. That’s available for free on our Playback channel. Link in the description.

But that’s not all of course, we also talk Ghanaian movie posters! If you’re familiar with what I’m talking about, I need not say another word. But if you DON’T know what I’m talking about, head over to our instagram where we got a photo compilation accompanying this episode.

And if you enjoy what we are doing here at the Pit and would like to support us further, please check us out our patreon, where we have exclusive extended episodes! Today, we discuss the new Coca-Cola AI commercial as well as the book If Anyone Builds It, Everyone Will Die by Elieser Yudkowsky and Nate Soares.

Bonus content! We dig into the vault from season 2's Patreon exclusives to give you this lil gem!

It’s a blast from the past! No, we do not have Brendan Frasier on the pod, but we do have birth trauma! That’s right; in this episode Colin, Kevin, and Rob dig into the mother scoby of all anxiety.

We also get into some salacious sex club talk, theology, Bond theme songs, and Colin presents a philosophical conundrum, asking: if you had to be, how you would choose to be murdered? Last but not least, we’ve got Song Spelunker Vol. 1.5!, digging into Madonna’s Like A Prayer.

At this time, we want to thank our sponsors StrangeLoop Animation. A brand new visual arts company specializing in 2D traditional animation, the founders of Strangeloop have been supporters of the show since day one. As they are now supporters of our show, we are now supporters of their art, so make sure to go check them out on instagram @strangeloopanimations (all one word).

Also, thank you to the Outsiders Social Club Podcast for our commercials today. Make sure you find them @OSCpodcast on the ever-dwindling Twitter, and give Mr. Pants some love on us.

And don’t forget: make sure you stay tuned until the end of the episode for track four of the Nostalgia Pit Patreon exclusive release: Toxic Crusaders. This song is called Studious.

Alrighty, then. Here we go: Non-Sexual Orgies & The Considerate Murderer.

Here at The Pit, we are known to ponder a conundrum of two. And today, we do a TON of just that. We ask questions like: would humans be a healthy source of meat, or is Star Trek racist, or would you fellate your clone? Ya know, just normal, basic philosophical queries… 

But that’s not all, folks… We also talk about a brand new film starring our very own resident myna bird, Rob Snow! The film is called S86, it's an independent sci-fi/horror film debuting this December in select theaters. Rob gives a preview and a lil behind the scenes of the filming process.

PATREON EXCLUSIVE: we go through even more from the cornucopia of content that is Andrew Ho and the Soup Nazi Kitchen of Everett, WA. This may even have bled into the regular episode.

And make sure you go watch the video accompanying on our Youtube! Out the same day as this episode. Link in the description.

We also have some merch for sale up on our Etsy, as well as a limited run of embroidered beanies out now! Only a few left… Shoot us a DM on IG if you’re interested.

And just like that, we’re back to brackets! Ron returns to guide through the deep dark depths of quote mining. Everyday phrases depicting simple “truths” turn out to be simple misnomers. Who would have thought that foundational pieces of dogma could be entirely the result paraphrasing and misinterpretation? Everything from “the early bird gets the worm” to “peace on earth” is up for reevaluation…

But of course, that’s not all we talk about. We ask very important questions, like what kind of music a pigeon would most be suited to play, or if Michael McDonald and Cher might be the same person, or what the hell is the Frankenstein Veto?

To start things off, I have to quote another podcast I work for - top 10 in the world of movies/tv reviews Cinephobe: “the timeline got fucked up…”

So this episode was recorded before the last episode, but we decided to celebrate Halloween the right way and shuffle the release schedule. So while some things may seem a bit out of place spacially, we still got some gems littered throughout this turd.

We talk weird animals like the shoebill stork, to the dirtiness of medieval Europe, to Twilight Zone episodes that stuck with you, to competitive laughing. We also discuss the Vegas strip, raccoons, and infinitie stew.

PATREON EXCLUSIVE: Today, we discuss clown raves, the waring tribe paradox, and Toxic Avengers 2.

Happy Halloween folks! We hope you get to enjoy all the spiced beverages and sugared finger foods that your heart desires. And we especially hope that you have a great costume that embodies part of your persona that typically stays buried deep down for the rest of the year, only to be unleashed every year on the ultimate day of October.

To celebrate this allowance of inner truth, we decided that It’s Probin’ Time! Rob cracks open the dusty encyclopedias to give us a history lesson on costumes. More specifically, one type of costume… Even more specifically, one type of costume that is worn year round, and that some may find it insulting that I am calling it a “costume” rather than its real name: a fursuit.

That’s right. Its time to look into the archive of furries. More about them, why they get a bad rap, and the history behind anthropomorphic art.

And if you enjoy what we are doing here at the Pit and would like to support us further, please check us out our patreon, where we have exclusive extended episodes! Today, Rob flips the Limited Recall switch and looks at the 1999 classic Things Fall Apart by The Roots. We also go through a reddit copypasta about Pokémon… Very specifically one Pokémon in fact… This one’s a doozy…

Hey folks! Busy times for us here at the Pit. We tried to prevent the inevitable, but alas, we had to take a week off in order to oil the ol’ gears. But instead of just skipping a week or longer as we have in the past, we decided to do a best of episode instead. 

But we still wanted to keep it fresh for most, so we decided to to pool together three different Patreon exclusive sections together into one super cut. So, here ya go!

We talk everything from drugs in ancient Rome & Greece to methods of final disposition, to Beetlejuice 2. We even bust out the Space Jam soundtrack and toss one through the gaping maw of the Song Spelunker. Which song? Tune in to find out.

Today is a day where we let our interests dictate the flow. We discuss everything from the Three Rivers Dam in China, to waste management, to the museumification of society. We also talk Mark Twain, Animorphs, and the infamous Action Park. Wash all that goodness down with a shot of snail vodka and nice helping of surströmming for a pallet cleanser… 

We also did something very visual in this episode: we looked through a LOT of Animorphs covers. This segment will be available to watch on our YouTube soon!

Plus! Rob tries to book William Sanderson for some voice acting roles! How will it turn out?! Tune in to find out!

It’s almost as if this podcast was an animated movie voiced by actors like John Goodman, Rhea Pearlman and Walter Cronkite because We’re Back! 

Back from what you ask? Back from the Big Apple! We had to fly out east to check on our Spleen and spread our scent abouts the boulevards of Brooklyn. This story is wrought with all the drama. Flight cancelations, damaged luggage, sweaty subways, and plasma.

We also discuss grandma aesthetic, sneezing, and sperm racing.

Before social media, word of mouth was the way an average Joe could learn of all the stories that may be too hot for the mainstream… Often, these stories had a brief moment in the sun and were able to make a long-lasting enough impression to linger in the fringes of society for decades after.

So our resident bracket curator Drinks w/ Ron gathered many of these stories and assembled a heavyweight tournament of drug induced urban legends in order to accommodate our very own spleen, the one and only MADSHROOM MC. This one is hands down, the most contentious bracket ever put together, straining the very bonds of our friendship…

All that, and a bag of chips, this week on The Pit.
