Dan & Manny welcome their longtime friend Bill D'Elia to put the 1989 action movie Road House to the ultimate test--THE NOSTALGIA TEST! There's just so much to say about how amazing this episode is. It'll make you laugh. It'll make you think: It'll make you watch Road House for the first time. It'll make you rewatch Road House 100 times. These three friends try to figure out why everyone brings a knife to the bar and why the bouncers (or coolers) can't stop this, what the f*** is a cooler, and who can forget Patrick Swayze's ass?! Oh, and those weird sounds are just Billy's microphone moving up and down. Seriously.----more----

They also discuss: 

• More Swayze.

The intro and outro music ('Neon Attack 80s') is by Emanmusic.

Dan & Manny put cartoon theme songs from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Darkwing Duck, TaleSpin, Chip 'n Dale: Rescue Rangers, DuckTales, Captain Planet, He-Man, Transformers, Animaniacs, & Ren & Stimpy to the ultimate test--THE NOSTALGIA TEST. After an epic trilogy of Spooky Season episodes, Dan & Manny were looking forward to getting back to something "serious." They get into it on this one, trying to figure out if Launchpad from Darkwing Duck and Ducktales is the Lee Tergesen of the animated world (see Ep.11: Wayne's World), Dan's obsession with why some cartoon characters wear pants and some don't, and Team Voltron vs Team Captain Planet. Plus, there's plenty of "amazing" singing.----more----

Dan & Manny put the 1990 dark fantasy comedy The Witches (based on the 1983 Roald Dahl novel) to the ultimate test--THE NOSTALGIA TEST. This is the 3rd & final Spooky Season episode and a perfect way to get into the Halloween spirit (no pun intended). Dan & Manny really get into the delinquency of every single adult in this movie, try to figure out exactly how high Luke's grandmother is, and wonder why the f*** is there a naked kid at the end of the movie (spoiler alert)? Plus, it wouldn't be right not to talk about the frightening genius of Angelica Huston.----more----

They also get into: 

• Is the grandmother Blade or Van Helsing? 

And much much more!

On their 2nd Spooky Season episode, Dan & Manny put 5 Halloween music videos, This Is Halloween, Ghostbusters, Somebody's Watching Me, The Monster Mash, & Thriller to the ultimate test--THE NOSTALGIA TEST! This episode starts out in a sane place, but these songs slowly eat away at any sense that Manny & Dan had left this day. They try to avoid the entire episode at the start, but quickly get into what it would be like to play This Is Halloween at a party, the genius of Ray Parker Jr., and what the f*** is Disney up to with these creepy Halloween Music Mashup videos?----more----

We recorded this on October 13th, 2020 on Zoom so there are some small sound discrepancies. Also, apparently, Zoom shut off Dan's external mic, so his voice is a bit weird on this one. Sorry 😞, but don't worry, the content still rocks!

Dan & Manny welcome their second guest, longtime friend, and killer musician Steve Herrera on their first Spooky Season episode to put the 1988 "horror" movie Killer Klowns From Outer Space to the ULTIMATE TEST! This episode has everything, minus any sort of logic, but what do expect when you're talking about a horror film with a soft-core porn plotline. Dan, Manny, and Steve attempt to make sense of the worst character names of all time, why no one will just leave this town, and what's with the drugstore owner!? RUN THE F*** OUT OF THERE! (You'll see). 

Oh, and if you think they didn't bring up Matt Antoniou, you're wrong. ----more----

Dan & Manny go back to 1995 with their friend and first guest Jess Stanisic to put that year's MTV Video Music Awards (VMA) Best R&B Video category to the ultimate test--THE NOSTALGIA TEST! This Nostalgia Test trio gets all 1995 when it comes to talking about:

TLC – "Waterfalls"

They talk about bringing back Jnco jeans, those amazing papayas in the "This Is How We Do It" video, and the Helicopter budget in the "Water Runs Dry" video. Plus, why hire the same guy who directed a Pantera video to direct the Boyz II Men video?

Dan tricks Manny into doing another food-based Nostalgia Test. They put OG Pringles, Barbeque, Sour Cream & Onion, and Salt & Vinegar flavored potato chips to the ULTIMATE TEST! This episode has it all: loud crunching sounds, stomach aches, and one of the longest most surprising deep-dive into the history of the Pringles.  ----more----

Other things Dan & Manny dive deeply into:

• Are there plain flavored Doritos?

This week's episode of The Nostalgia Test Podcast is an epic one, and rightfully so because Dan & Manny put the 1991 Keanu Reeves Patrick Swayze action movie Point Break to the ultimate test--THE NOSTALGIA TEST! You thought they lost their minds on Episode 3: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (1990) when they combed through every single detail of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Well, you thought wrong, because this episode is absolutely BADASS.

Dan & Manny talk about their favorite one-liners, is it bro, brah, or braahh, and most importantly the romantic relationship between Johnny Utah (Keanu Reeves) and Bodi (Patrick Swayze). That's right people. Pay close attention because there's a lot going on.----more----

They also discuss:

• Is Lee Tergesen in every 90's film?

Dan & Manny dig through the 90’s Pop Radio Hits playlist on Spotify and put an insane amount of random music to the ULTIMATE TEST! This episode has it all: Rock, Pop, Hip Hop, R&B, and Dance music, and it’s just like Dan & Manny to take it a little too far by talking about 28 songs (list below). There are serious discussions, tangents, and a ton of love for some of their favorite songs. We’re not experts, we make mistakes with the info, and these are just our opinions. So PLEASE share your thoughts on our Instagram, Twitter, and in the show’s comments. See if some of your favorite songs passed The Nostalgia Test.----more----

They also talk about: 

• What are the origins, and is the song “Cotton Eye Joe” racist?

Dan & Manny's brains when they put 1992's Wayne's World to the ultimate test--THE NOSTALGIA TEST! They try really hard to figure out what this movie is, does it have a plot, and is Rob Lowe's character just Patrick Bateman from American Psycho? Really though, is Wayne's World just a blackout dream that Patrick Bateman is having? Oh, man. Also, Dan & Manny attempt to figure out how old Wayne and Garth are, where are their parents, and did Garth kill that guy in the club where Meatloaf is the bouncer? Seriously, people, there are a ton of questions for this iconic 90's film.----more----

They also talk about: 

• Maybe Rob Lowe's character is just Brian Flanagan from Cocktail.
