It's Tarantino time, baby! In this special interim episode of NostalgiaCast, Jonny and Darin sit down for a discussion of Quentin Tarantino's "controversial" Top 20 Films Of The 21st Century (so far). Listen as your objective hosts chat about the subjectivity of "Best Of" lists, why it makes no sense to lose your mind over someone else's opinions, and even compile their own lists of the Top 10 films they loved most over the past 25 years, as a proof of concept as to why any list should be emphatically 100% your own.

Our buddy and actor/director extraordinaire Jeannette Miller returns to the 'Cast to help Jonny and Darin recap the pulse-pounding performances and cat-and-mouse thrills of Petersen's 1993 action classic, and also the unfortunate "window dressing" that hampers so many '90s films.

NostalgiaCast returns for a second season with a (possibly controversial) look back at the movie that launched millions of Bat t-shirts, collectible mugs, and Prince albums, Tim Burton's BATMAN (1989).

In the first of these Very Special Episodes, Jonny and Darin dive into Frank Oz's DIRTY ROTTEN SCOUNDRELS. But did this Steve Martin/ Michael Caine-starring comedy "classic" con our gracious hosts into thinking it's actually a quality movie? Or is the movie honest with its intentions?

In this episode, Jonny and Darin debate the movie's place in pop culture, and whether its fourth-wall breaking and goofball humor stand up to scrutiny today.

Join NostalgiaCast for a lively discussion on LABYRINTH, Jim Henson's musical fantasy adventure beloved by millions... of prepubescent pre-teen girls, while alienating everyone else unequipped to handle its not-so-subliminal sexual subtext. Author R.J. Craddock (THE THIRTEEN TRIBES OF CAIN book series) drops by the studio to school Jonny and Darin in all things Door Knockers, Fireys, and fairies, and helps makes sense of the difference between boy fantasy adventures and girl fantasy adventures. But will it be enough to rescue the film from the Bog of Eternal Stench? Or do the countless Muppet characters - and David Bowie's androgynous (and erotically-charged) rock star persona - have no power over the rest of us? Enter the labyrinth and find out!

Ug ug ug ug ug ug! Grab your schooners and your spinach cans as NostalgiaCast looks back at POPEYE, Robert Altman's live-action, comedy-musical adaptation of the classic E.C. Segar comic strip. Jonny and Darin stare wide-eyed in wonder at all the fantastical sights, sounds, and cartoon shenanigans of seaside Sweethaven, and what happens to the townsfolk there when a muttering, semi-deformed sailor man steps off the docks and into their hearts. But does Altman's signature style lend itself to the comic book format? Or do the whimsical songs and spot-on character impersonations get lost in the fray? Have a listen and we'll gladly pay you Tuesday for a hamburger today!

Time is a gift given to you, given to give you the time you need, the time you need to have the time of your life! Join Jonny, Darin, and special guest Kenneth F. Brown as we brave the 90% animated / 5% live-action classic, THE PHANTOM TOLLBOOTH! The star of THE YANKLES and THIS DIVIDED STATE graces the 'Cast with his jovial wit (and killer Michael Moore impression) for a lively discussion on Chuck Jones's 1970 adaptation of the popular children's book.

But is it a fairy tale come true or should it be banished to the dungeons of hell?

Episode 8: THE TRANSFORMERS: THE MOVIE (1986)13 Jan 201701:05:57

Sit back, relax, and suck down that energon, as NostalgiaCast sets its optics on TRANSFORMERS: THE MOVIE, a cartoon so overloaded with 80's hair metal and robot destruction porn, it's traumatized children for decades. Listen as Jonny and Darin ponder such important metaphysical questions as: Why do so many Transformers convert into useless household objects? Where does Optimus Prime's semitrailer disappear to when he transforms? Was there actually a time when Judd Nelson was considered a star? Then, as a bonus, the 'Cast welcomes a Very Special Guest (hint: he looks and sounds just like a mini-Darin) to discuss "passing the torch of nerdiness" from father to son. Transform, roll out, and join us!

Shout "Hot Dog!", "Hee Haw!", and other sentimental hogwash as Jonny and Darin revisit Frank Capra's Christmas classic IT'S A WONDERFUL LIFE, starring Jimmy Stewart and Donna Reed. In yet another NostalgiaCast first, your hosts attempt to forget the "if"s and figure out the "why"s behind this perennial holiday favorite – why it flopped at the box office, why it's become so highly regarded today, and why, if you haven't watched it in a while, it's so much darker than you probably remember. But is it the filmmaking or the sentiment that sticks with us the most? Grab some egg nog and ring those bells with us!

First, listen as our hosts (briefly) recap the Coens' collective filmography, then reel in shock as Darin admits that RA was far from his favorite film growing up. Can Jonny convince him that there's more to the movie's heavily-stylized camerawork, character choices, and dialogue than meets the eye? Everybody freeze, get down on the ground, and find out!

Jonny and Darin kick off their 1992 retrospective by welcoming Ruth and Rae of the Paperback Flicks podcast to chat about the history of Irish immigrants and the American frontier, along with the sweeping panoramic vistas, overblown Oir-ish accents, and megawatt star chemistry that made this period romantic drama a minor classic.

It's "Vaya con Dios!" and "Utah, get me two!" as NostalgiaCast continues its '90s Bucket List season with a look back at POINT BREAK, directed by Kathryn Bigelow and starring Patrick Swayze, Keanu Reeves, and Gary Busey. Join Jonny and Darin for a zen-filled discussion of all the wave-riding, high-flying, bank-robbing thrills that shape this bona fide cult classic. But is it still 100% pure adrenaline after 30+ years, brah? Or a bummer in between action scenes?

Episode 118: CAPE FEAR / THE SILENCE OF THE LAMBS (1991)08 May 202501:32:55

Grab your fava beans and your garrote piano wire as NostalgiaCast takes a deep-dive into Martin Scorsese's CAPE FEAR and Jonathan Demme's THE SILENCE OF THE LAMBS, two killer thrillers from two American masters not typically known for their horror chops.
