  • One of the best nostalgia pods

    You know you have found something good when the hosts sound like you and your friends discussing these topics. The guys bring great energy and enthusiasm for every topic and they always blend funny personal anecdotes with factual historical details.

    And they truly keep politics out of it which I really appreciate.

    Thanks guys!

  • I'm a huge fan of how the hosts combine band and album history with both humor and infectious enthusiasm. The inclusion of music to contextualize their points is a major highlight for me and truly enhances the listening experience.

  • New Favorite Podcast

    I fell down a rabbit hole with the Top Gun Soundtrack pod which led me to the Top Gun movie pod, the Maverick pod and from there I could not stop listening to these guys. I’m a music and movie trivia fan and the cadence and chemistry is awesome. I love how the music is laced into the movie pods as well. Keep em coming please! And maybe catch Point Break one day!

  • Awesome Nostalgia

    I’ve only just discovered this podcast and working my way through it. Well researched and insightful, the lads pull up some real pop cultural gems.

    I love the down to earth and common man reviews. They make feel young again. If you love the 80’s and 90’s then this will make you wish that we were still there. If you didn’t love the 80s and 90s then this will make you glad we’ve moved on. Either way, have a listen.
