Dan, Manny, & NEW cohost longtime friend Billy D'Elia put the 2003 Lindsay Lohan Jamie Lee Curtis switcheroo comedy classic Freaky Friday to the ultimate test--THE NOSTALGIA TEST!
“ I was like, why is Dan making us watch this?”
-Manny Coelho
The boys introduce their new cohost, longtime friend Billy D'Elia to the Nostalgia Test family! Billy is ready to put pop culture's past to the ultimate test!
Dan, Manny, & Billy explore the chaos that's Freaky Friday starring Lindsay Lohan and Jamie Lee Curtis. They try comprehend why Hollywood is obsessed with body-switch movies, the 2000s', how Lindsay Lohan's character is basically Avril Lavigne, and the insane plot of Freaky Friday. Then they talk about the cultural context of the movie, Chad Michael Murray's hair, if the mother of the Chinese food restaurant should be arrested for making these body swap fortune cookies, the upcoming sequel, Freakier Friday, and they debate whether the classic film passes the nostalgia test.
The Nostalgia Test Podcast is nothing without its tangents. The boys go down a deep Kevin Bacon tangent, the horror of the movie Groundhog Day, and Chinese food restaurants.
Email us (thenostalgiatest@gmail.com) your thoughts and opinions on Freaky Friday and what your thoughts about the upcoming sequel, and we'll talk about them on a future episode.
