Dan & Manny invite actor Rob McCaffery from the Sanity is Overrated podcast to put the 1993 cult-classic Airborne to the ultimate test--THE NOSTALGIA TEST. Dan, Manny, and Rob attempt to make sense out of Mitchell Goosen's choice to bring a surfboard to land-locked Cincinnati, Ohio in the middle of winter, they try to figure out if this a surfing movie or a rollerblading movie, or a hockey movie, and who can forget all of Goosen's Baja Hoodies.

They also dive into: 

• Jacob Vargas (Snake) being the actual hero of this movie. 
• Jack Black, Seth Green, &  Alanna Ubach saving this film. 
• The comedy genius of Edie McClurg & Patrick Thomas O'Brien
• Why does Goosen rollerblade without socks? 

And much more, including:

• The Hogan Family
• WPIX Weekend Movies
• Goosen is a mix of: 
  • Tom Sawyer
  • Huckleberry Finn
  • Popeye
  • Buddha
  • Gandhi
• Why do Goosen's Aunt & Uncle call each other Father & Mother? 
• There are WAY too many montages!
• And let's not forget all of the Goosen monologues!
• Is this Cincinnatti town where Tommy Boy was shot? Or is this where Gung Ho was shot? 
• Manny does an amazing rollerblade monologue. 
• Was a PB&J burger a thing? 
• We write an epilogue for Airborne. 
• Why we need a Robot Chicken Airborne episode. 
• The only important thing Goosen does is pull Blaine's pants down.
