Throwback Explains It All

The Gents talk about Nicktoons starting with the OG golden three... Doug, Rugrats, and Ren & Stimpy, and going all the way to a bunch of shit we never even heard of like "Chalkzone" and "As Told By Ginger" that were clearly nowhere near as good. And then of course there's the crucial matter of at what point was it no longer cool to be watching these things? Also, how the F do you pronounce Lacey Chabert? Chay-bert? Shah-behr? Shah-BAY? Wayne Chrebet? All are probably incorrect... tune in to find out!

This week the Gents hear from YOU and answer listener questions from the ol' mailbag... and it get's LEGIT! If you were looking for the hot goss on Binford Tool Girls, Slimer's Ecto-Cooler, Tupac at Summer Camp, Sweet Valley High, Boku juice boxes, and City Guys... well baby, you've come to the right pod! @mrthrowbacknyc @shebiro

This week the Gents have THE definitive conversation about The Mighty Ducks (1992) and D2: The Mighty Ducks (1994). The people wanted it... and we delivered! We OBVIOUSLY don't even waste our time talking D3 since that movie is complete trash. Jordan rips an insane block report with inside info, trivia, and facts that hit harder than a Fulton Reed slap shot. Throwback & Shebzilla debate the merits of each movie as we attempt to suss out the superior film. Spoiler Alert... they both rule! Shout out to Gordon Bombay!

The Gents check in with each other from deep within the quarantine Corone-Zone and get heated about Full House. Jordan from the Block unleashes a torrent of hatred toward the character of Michelle Tanner, and the gang ponders the legacy of Uncle Jesse... especially in light of the fact that Aunt Becky / Lori Loughlin is facing potential jail time on some straight up bullshit. We talk the 2019 college admissions scandal, we talk Ernest Goes to Jail, and we even talk Walt "Clyde" Frazier and Just for Men Mustache & Beard. AND! For the first time ever... we go to our listener mailbag to answer YOUR questions!

Turmoil consumes the Gents as a heated debate breaks out over what was cooler... going to public school (like Mike & Jason) or going private (like Jordan from the Block). Both sides present their arguments and talk high school reunions. Afterwards, the gang tries to solve the greatest mystery in Nickelodeon history: what in God's name happened Joe Torres? (the guy who played Danny from Hey Dude, not the coach of the Yankees). Also, there's a National Toy Hall of Fame in Rochester???

Throwback & the Gents figure out how to podcast from the Corone Zone! As a bonus, they submit for the approval of the rest of society: THEIR LOST EPISODE. In a conversation originally deemed too ridiculous for air... Jordan demands we listen to a bunch of theme songs, the gang explores the mystery of Jamiroquai, and we take a closer look at the legacy of The Gooding Family, at times carried by both Cubas Sr. AND Jr... but in the 90's it was ALL OMAR.

Throwback & the Gents examine the history of backboard shattering from Daryl Dawkins to NBA Jam. Then, find out which future Backstreet Boy competed on Nickelodeon Guts, the MANY problems with Legends of the Hidden Temple, and the only man to be a gladiator on the original 90's American Gladiators TV show as well as the 2008 reboot (spoiler alert... the guy's a 10!). Plus the gang cracks open a deadstock pack of 1991-92 Fleer Basketball cards and Mike debuts a new segment!

The gents perfect the art of the opening intro, mark out Macaulay Culkin, and hate on fake jerseys; @shebiro lies to the troops about WrestleMania tickets; The Block Report profiles March 1993.

The Throwback gang tackles the REAL issues: were bullies actually cool, how important are nicknames, and why did every board game commercial in the 90's feature some little white kid screaming "I win!" at the end like he was the king of the universe. PLUS! Laura Winslow was wrong to pressure Steve Urkel to genetically modify himself on the regular, Nancy Kerrigan deserves a gold medal already, and @shebiro reveals his secret strategy to how to win at every game ever.

The gents remember the dopest candy bars, fruit snacks, and other confections of the 90's, learn the connection between 90210 and professional wrestling, and give an appropriate amount of shit to both the Girl & Boy Scouts of America! Also featured: Ratatouille, sleep away camp make-outs, and dozens of Wawa pretzels.
