From cover bands, to ‘Back to the Future Day’, to a seemingly endless churn of sequels and remakes, the world of entertainment owes a lot to nostalgia for the money it makes. Sometimes this nostalgia can be a fun, positive force, and other times it can feel unoriginal, uninspired, and, frankly, overwrought to the point where the original property can get lessened because of it. This episode will talk a little bit about how this can happen, then go into movies from our childhood that we loved as kids that either do or do not hold up today, and why. Tears are shed, childhoods are ruined – pretty much a typical episode here. (Okay, it’s not that bad…mostly…sorry not sorry.) 

Also, you should check out all the amazing listener feedback about their nostalgia picks on this Facebook post – so many great suggestions here:
