This week, Dan & Manny put the 1998 romantic comedy The Wedding Singer to the ultimate test--THE NOSTALGIA TEST! Shout out to Sharon Brennan for suggesting this test. This movie confused our two hosts a lot. They talk about Adam Sandler's subdued whisper acting, how everyone in this movie is perverted, the guy from Goodfellas. Plus, there's a deep discussion about the meatball lady scene. Read the rest of this entry »

This week, Dan & Manny welcome their longtime friend Mike Silva (aka The Bear, aka Price Hike Mike) to put the 1986 action film Iron Eagle to the ultimate test--THE NOSTALGIA TEST. Dan, Manny, and Mike have the most insane discussion of what's probably the most ridiculous film of the 80s. They attempt to figure out how Doug (Jason Gedrick), Chappy (Louis Gossett Jr.), and a band of misfit Airforce highschooler kids hack the US Airforce, steal two fully armored F16s, the Hades Bomb, and fly across the world to wage an unauthorized attack to save Doug's dad from the most cliche 80s-American-propaganda-villain ever. Whew.
