Dan & Manny welcome Sleevie G to put the 1997 Nicolas Cage classic Con Air to the ultimate test—THE NOSTALGIA TEST!
”[Con Air] is a movie about a one man's journey to find a syringe and be a terrible father.”
-Dan Dissinger
Settle in everyone because this episode is full of tangents, hilarious hot takes, a ton of Nick Cage confusion, and as many plot holes as Con Air. Basically, if this is your first hang with The Nostalgia Test Podcast, "Hold on to your butts." Dan, Manny, & Gomez try to figure out where Cage bought this bunny for his kid, was his prison sentence to harsh, the insane characters in this movie, if Steve Buscemi's character was crazy or not, if he killed that little girl, and is Con Air and Armageddon a shared universe, and so much more.
Plus, find out the celebrity that's banned for life from the Sleevie G Show.
