Dan, Manny, & Billy put the 1996 comedy classic Happy Gilmore and the 2025 legacy sequel Happy Gilmore 2 to the ultimate test—THE NOSTALGIA TEST!

“[Happy Gilmore] is a top 10 comedy for me, easily.”

This is an epic episode. 2 hours of Nostalgia Test Podcast love, comedy, and the hottest hot takes of all time. This is the most honest review of Happy Gilmore 2 out there, guaranteed. Dan, Manny, and Billy go over their favorite scenes, quotes, and characters from the first movie, how Carl Weathers and Christopher McDonald give are the standout performances, and what’s up with Julie Bowen’s hair? They Also talk about the unforgettable Bob Barker Adam Sandler fight scene and how Bob Barker did all his own fighting.

And then the tide turns swiftly. The gang tears Happy Gilmore 2 to pieces. Billy goes deep on how Happy Gilmore is a horrible representation for all fathers, how there’s no way anyone would ever let their families down so bad, and that in real life you just have to “Get it done!” There’s a discussion on toxic masculinity, the racist representation of Chubb’s son, the waste of money on all these cameos, and how Hollywood needs to go much deeper than pure nostalgia.

Dan does give bad Bunny his flowers for the best performance in the entire movie and possibly the only laughs, and Billy praises John Daly as well. Lastly, Manny reads some 1-star and 10-star reviews of Happy Gilmore 2 and they try to figure out how this movie has a higher Rotten Tomato rating than the Tom Cruise 80s masterpiece Cocktail.

Dan, Manny, & Billy are joined by friend of the show, writer, & sole audience member Eric Althoff to dive into a whole bunch of nostalgic pop culture news and put it to the ultimate test—THE NOSTALGIA TEST!

“No artist loved their fans more than [Ozzy] did”

In this episode of Nostalgia Test News, recorded on August 19th, 2025, the boys get straight to it and with the rebooted Scary Movie, if there’s a need for a Rambo prequel, and what could Gremlins 3 possibly be about? Doesn’t everyone know about the rules after Gremlins 2? The boys are joined by Eric Althoff from the Street Fighter episode who just so happened to be in the Zoom audience. He weighs in on the age-old question, is Gremlins 2 better than Gremlins 1? The episode takes a crazy turn down a huge AI tangent, creepy celebrity stories from the set of Crush and Freaky Friday, driverless cars and delivery robots in LA, F**k Dean Cain, and did you know there was a 12-year-old kid with no legs in the ET puppet?

Everyone reflects on the passing of Ozzy Osborne and Malcolm Jamal Warner and talk about their contributions to music, TV, creating the Reality TV, genre, poetry, and more. They also tackle the controversial legacy of Hulk Hogan after his passing. And last but not least (haha) they touch on Megadeath calling it quits and how Dave Mustaine is the most bitter musician in metal despite being extremely successful. All this and so much more!

Dan, Manny, & Billy are joined by their longtime friend Jeremy Madson to talk about a whole bunch of nostalgic pop culture craziness and put it to the ultimate test—THE NOSTALGIA TEST!

“Now John Hammond self-fertilizes the dinosaur eggs.”

This is what happens when a guest cancels on The Nostalgia Test, the wildest Nostalgia Test News episode yet! The opening monologue is part of Billy’s hot take of Jack Nicholson’s performance in The Shining. Then, because this was recorded before the summer, the boys give their live predictions and hot takes on the trailers for Happy Gilmore 2, The Naked Gun, and Spaceballs 2.  They talk about Adam Sandler’s comedy legacy, the latest slew of comedies, can Liam Neeson be funny, and the wildest comedy of all time Tropic Thunder. Dan introduces a brand new “Rick Roll” and then we see which Metal songs pass the “Will Manny Metal” test!

Dan, Manny, & Billy put the 1992 comedy classic My Cousin Vinny to the ultimate test—THE NOSTALGIA TEST!

“[My Cousin Vinny] is a Thanksgiving movie.

This is an absolute lovefest of an episode with My Cousin Vinny quotes flying all over the place. From the start to the end there’s nothing but amazing things to say about the dialogue, the comedic timing of Joe Pesci, Marisa Tomei, Ralph Macchio, the late great Fred Gwynne, Mitchell Whitfield, Lane Smith, and Austin Pendleton. The boys try to find plot holes and come up empty, except for their star audience member Long Island artist Andrew Breen (@rocktapusjones_art) who finds one very minor issue. Manny does an amazing reenactment of Marisa Tomei’s “Hunting” monologue, they go through the hilarious prison scene with Joe Pesci and Mitchell Whitfield, and the perfectly ridiculous NY character names. In the end, they determine whether this movie passes The Nostalgia Test and discuss why My Cousin Vinny is a perfect Thanksgiving movie.

Get ready for a nostalgic trip with these three yutes through possibly one of the best comedies of all time.

Dan, Manny, & Billy invited The Fandalorians to put the 1985 Sci-fi/Comedy classic to the ultimate test—THE NOSTALGIA TEST!

“We are making a lot of dark backstories to this movie.”

We had so much fun with the guys from The Fandalorians on this episode digging into all the ins and outs, the conspiracy theories, and our memories of Back to the Future. It’s just six dudes from Long Island trying to answer some really important questions like how the hell did Marty meet Doc Brown, is this better time traveling than Bill & Ted’s, the confusing family dynamics between Marty and his family and Lorraine (Lea Thompson) and her family, Billy Zane, why would the time lines change this way in the end, and can we figure out what’s up with Mount Airey Lodge and The Commack Motor Inn. Seriously though, this is one of our favorite conversations and we’re so grateful for the guys of The Fandalorians for coming on and being part of the Nostalgia Test chaos.

Dan, Manny, & Billy invite friend & fan of the pod Meghan P. Nolan to put the 1985 action/adventure comedy The Goonies to the ultimate test—THE NOSTALGIA TEST!

“I had this epiphany while I was watching it this time where I was like, ‘Holy shit! Like Goonies are just like a bunch of nerds, they're all just sitting around playing D&D, Mikey is the dungeon master, and this is their quest.”

Around 2 years ago, Meghan sent us a suggestion to put The Goonies to the ultimate test and because Dan is super lazy it took him this long to get her on the pod. This episode is off the rails from the start filled with classic Nostalgia Test drops and a live Zoom audience of one, (haha! it’s a start) Courtney from the Fiction Fixation Podcast who added some hilarious ideas while Billy dealt with his North Carolina internet service. The gang talks about “Goonies” comes from their town name The Goon Docks, what did the parents of these kids do to get all their houses foreclosed on, why was Troy and his flunkies hanging around a wishing well, are the Fratellis really Italian, and who was resetting One Eyed Willie’s booby traps in the 1600s. They also analyze all the amazing characters, unpack the stereotypes, plot holes, and put Cindy Lauper’s song to a quick Nostalgia Test. Most importantly, they talk about the real heroes of this movie Rosalita and Sloth.

This episode is what The Nostalgia Test is all about, laughter, hot takes, and a bunch of hypothetical scenarios for what a Goonies sequel or TV series might look like. This is a must-listen for any fan of 80s classics.

Put your Nostalgia helmet on and join Dan & Manny on a dangerous journey to put some 90s Commercials to the ultimate test—THE NOSTALGIA TEST!

“I'm surprised we survived. Like, what we were putting in our bodies, what they were allowing us to play with. It's amazing that we even got this far”

Before Billy joined the chaos, Dan & Manny embarked on a weird walk down memory lane with these super odd 90s commercials. They try to figure out why anyone would by their kid a doll that pees, if Nerf is just human dog toys, why were water guns to big and crazy, and how did anyone go to Action Park. Plus, Dan tells a ridiculous story about his dad, the time he went to Action Park, and Manny slowly loses his mind. This is one of those weirdo episodes you’ll want to watch so you can see all the commercials they’re talking about. So, grab your Super Soakers, polish those Nerf Vortexes, grab your favorite Kid Cuisine and get ready for a Nostalgia Test like you’ve never seen and heard before.

Dan, Manny, & Billy put the 1993 action/drama Free Willy to the ultimate test--THE NOSTALGIA TEST!

“[They abused a whale] to make a movie about whale awareness [...] You fucking basically murdered [a whale] in the making of [Free Willy].” -Billy

Okay everyone, this was a weird journey back for us because no one knew what to expect from Free Willy. We didn’t remember it was two hours long. We didn’t remember about Jesse’s friend Perry. We sure didn’t remember Mykelti Williamson being saddled with another clueless white person? And that’s just the tip of this nostalgic iceberg because we go on a Metalocalypse tangent, how Orcas were attacking sailboats, adopting a manatee in elementary school, and we expose the unfortunate story behind Kiko, the Orca in Free Willy.

“Hellraiser, I think is the most overrated horror franchise of all time.”

Dan, Manny, & Billy pulled this Nostalgia Test News/Audience Suggestions/Friend Hangout out of left field! They’re surprised by their longtime friends Jeremy (from Mrs. Doubtfire, the Metallica episodes, and the 2024 Hangout) & Mike (from the Iron Eagle episode). This dives into SNL funny or not, Reboots (again), Hockey and can Dan find a skate for a size 14 shoe, 100 men vs 1 gorilla, and insane drinking stories. The conversation goes even further back into memories of playing manhunt and if that game can be played today, a cool idea for a horror movie, stories from summertime at the public pool, diners, drinking Black Haus and After Shock, and so much more. This is an episode for the ages, a true inside look at these guys’ friendships and what makes The Nostalgia Test Podcast so much fun.

Dan & Manny welcome Jen & P.T. from The Long Take Review to put Jim Henson’s classic Labyrinth to the ultimate test—THE NOSTALGIA TEST!

“We might spend the most time on fart jokes.”

Much like the topic of this episode, the conversation is a collection of twists, turns, deceptions, off-color fart jokes, confusion about David Bowie’s tights, and hallucinations. The gang goes into their love of Henson’s use practical effects, they talk about all the memorable characters, the film's lasting impact on cinematic history, and did we say fart jokes. They also touch on the announcement of a sequel directed by Robert Eggers, is Gremlins 2 better than the OG, the influence of David Bowie's performance, and the broader legacy of Jim Henson's creations like The Dark Crystal. It wouldn’t be an episode of The Nostalgia Test without all the tangents, memories of Matt Antoniou, and Manny ignoring Dan trying to end the podcast, though he had help from P.T.
