      4. 86. ❓Get To Know Your Hosts: Q&A w/ Dan & Manny

      WHAT'S UP 2023!!! Dan & Manny welcome the new year by answering your questions. This episode is so random, so tangent-filled, and so classic Nostalgia Test Podcast that you'll be begging for more. They talk WWE wrestling music and superstars, living in a movie or TV show, comparing the Back to the Future DeLorean to Bill and Ted's phonebooth, who they'd cast in the infamous masterpiece Face/Off, and so much more.

      Special thanks to everyone who sent in a question. It was really fun.

Dan is confused by Sarah Jessica Parker's entire performance, is extremely tired from fighting with technology to get this episode edited and released, and has to start the Hocus Pocus 2 episode immediately, AND SO MUCH MORE!

      9. 81. Nostalgia 101: Nostalgia & Shared Experiences w/ Georg Csarmann

      In the first Nostalgia 101 episode, Dan & Manny invite Georg Csarmann to do a deep dive into the complexities of nostalgia, how it works to create community, the ways we experience nostalgia through different pieces of media, and how the term was coined. It's time to go to school! 

      Georg Csarmann Bio: Narratives and the contextualization of information are at the heart of Georg's life purpose, either through storytelling or content curation. Based on his experience as a filmmaker, writer, media academic and film programmer, he wants to cut through the noise of media overabundance and create a meaningful way for other people to experience films & TV."

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----

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.

    87. 3. ⚔️Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (1990)

    Dan and Manny put the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie from 1990 to the Nostalgia Test this week. This is an epic podcast adventure, so settle in and get ready as they try to figure out who the real leader is (Leonardo or Raphael), what's up with NYC in 1990, and if this movie is a romantic tale between April O'Neil and Raphael. 

    This episode is filled with spoilers, so if you've never seen this movie just know we give EVERYTHING away. You can watch the original trailer here.

    Dan and Manny put Blink 182's two biggest albums Enema of the State (1999) and Take Off Your Pants and Jacket (2001) to The Nostalgia Test. They talk about their personal connections to the albums post-high school graduation. Does selling out really exist? Their favorite songs and their least favorite songs from both albums. Plus, a deep-dive into the lyrics from "Happy Holidays, You Bastard." And so much more!

    89. 1. Cocktail (1988)

    Dan and Manny put Tom Cruise's 1988 romantic comedy Cocktail through the first Nostalgia Test. They try to understand what a "saloon" is, break down each of Coughlin's laws, and discuss the power of Tom Cruise's on-screen charm. This is one of Manny's favorite films. Will it survive the Nostalgia Test? 

    If you haven't seen Cocktail, you can watch the trailer here.

    Long-time friends Dan Dissinger and Manny Coelho are about to start an amazing adventure through their pop-culture past together. Living on opposite coasts (Dan in LA and Manny in NY) isn't going to stop these two from putting their eyes, ears, and tastebuds through it all to find out what's nostalgic, what's still genuinely good, and what needs to be erased from history. In the intro episode, they talk about why they decided to embark on this treacherous journey and what makes something nostalgic or not.
