NostalgiaCast ·

2017/03/10

Goblin King! Goblin King! Wherever you may be - take this child of mine far away from me! Join NostalgiaCast for a lively discussion on LABYRINTH, Jim Henson's musical fantasy adventure beloved by millions... of prepubescent pre-teen girls, while alienating everyone else unequipped to handle its not-so-subliminal sexual subtext. Author R.J. Craddock (THE THIRTEEN TRIBES OF CAIN book series) drops by the studio to school Jonny and Darin in all things Door Knockers, Fireys, and fairies, and helps

Episode 11: POPEYE (1980)

NostalgiaCast ·

2017/02/24

Ug ug ug ug ug ug! Grab your schooners and your spinach cans as NostalgiaCast looks back at POPEYE, Robert Altman's live-action, comedy-musical adaptation of the classic E.C. Segar comic strip. Jonny and Darin stare wide-eyed in wonder at all the fantastical sights, sounds, and cartoon shenanigans of seaside Sweethaven, and what happens to the townsfolk there when a muttering, semi-deformed sailor man steps off the docks and into their hearts. But does Altman's signature style lend itself to the

2017/02/10

Time is a gift given to you, given to give you the time you need, the time you need to have the time of your life! Join Jonny, Darin, and special guest Kenneth F. Brown as we brave the 90% animated / 5% live-action classic, THE PHANTOM TOLLBOOTH! The star of THE YANKLES and THIS DIVIDED STATE graces the 'Cast with his jovial wit (and killer Michael Moore impression) for a lively discussion on Chuck Jones's 1970 adaptation of the popular children's book. But is it worth all the wordplay or do its

NostalgiaCast ·

2017/01/27

Unicorns, and ogres, and dwarves, oh my! Grab your swords and shields as NostalgiaCast looks back at LEGEND, Sir Ridley Scott's 1985 fantasy epic, starring Tim Curry as the sexiest Satan you ever saw. But is it a fairy tale come true or should it be banished to the dungeons of hell? Listen as Jonny and Darin recount the film's troubled post-production history, discuss the differences between the Theatrical Version and Director's Cut, and try to figure out who's prettier - Mia Sara or Tom Cruise

Episode 8: THE TRANSFORMERS: THE MOVIE (1986)

NostalgiaCast ·

2017/01/13

Sit back, relax, and suck down that energon, as NostalgiaCast sets its optics on TRANSFORMERS: THE MOVIE, a cartoon so overloaded with 80's hair metal and robot destruction porn, it's traumatized children for decades. Listen as Jonny and Darin ponder such important metaphysical questions as: Why do so many Transformers convert into useless household objects? Where does Optimus Prime's semitrailer disappear to when he transforms? Was there actually a time when Judd Nelson was considered a star? Then,

Episode 7: IT'S A WONDERFUL LIFE (1946)

NostalgiaCast ·

2016/12/23

Shout "Hot Dog!", "Hee Haw!", and other sentimental hogwash as Jonny and Darin revisit Frank Capra's Christmas classic IT'S A WONDERFUL LIFE, starring Jimmy Stewart and Donna Reed. In yet another NostalgiaCast first, your hosts attempt to forget the "if"s and figure out the "why"s behind this perennial holiday favorite – why it flopped at the box office, why it's become so highly regarded today, and why, if you haven't watched it in a while, it's so much darker than you probably remember. But is it

Episode 6: RAISING ARIZONA (1987)

NostalgiaCast ·

2016/12/09

Okay then! Knock back a couple of Coca Colas, turn to the right, and take that diaper off your head and put it back on your sister, as Darin and Jonny take on the Coen Brothers’ cornpone comedy classic, RAISING ARIZONA! First, listen as our hosts (briefly) recap the Coens' collective filmography, then reel in shock as Darin admits that RA was far from his favorite film growing up. Can Jonny convince him that there's more to the movie's heavily-stylized camerawork, character choices, and dialogue

Episode 5: SILVER STREAK (1976)

NostalgiaCast ·

2016/11/25

By train, biplane, or stolen police cruiser, it turns out you CAN catch the Streak! Join Jonny and Darin as they welcome their first special guest, filmmaker Duane Andersen, for a discussion on the 1976 action comedy SILVER STREAK, starring Gene Wilder and Richard Pryor. But will this be a calm, relaxing trip down memory lane, or will we want off before the train reaches the station? Hop on board and find out! Recorded at Art City Sound, Springville UT.

Episode 4: TAPS (1981)

NostalgiaCast ·

2016/11/11

Keep your chin up, your head down, and one round in the chamber as Jonny and Darin close ranks with the 1981 military drama, starring Timothy Hutton as Sean Penn, Sean Penn as Tom Cruise, and Tom Cruise as Timothy Hutton. (Don't worry, it'll all make sense in a bit.) But is the movie more LORD OF THE FLIES than A FEW GOOD MEN, or somewhere in between? Saddle up and join us for a stretch! Rent/stream TAPS on Netflix, Amazon, Vudu, Fandango Now, or Google Play!

NostalgiaCast ·

2016/10/28

It's GHOSTBUSTERS meets NATURAL BORN KILLERS in our spook-tacular Halloween episode of the NostalgiaCast. Listen as Jonny and Darin struggle to make sense of the rules and revelations of Peter Jackson’s post-HEAVENLY CREATURES, pre-LORD OF THE RINGS Horror-Comedy lark, and how Michael J. Fox, icon that he is, might be the world's worst basketball player. Then, grab your torch and pitchfork as our hosts rattle off their Top 3 frightfully funny flicks of all time. Join us for a spell, won’t you?

Episode 2: CLASH OF THE TITANS (1981)

NostalgiaCast ·

2016/10/21

In which Jonny and Darin tackle the 1981 stop-motion classic, starring a gaggle of classically-trained Shakespearean actors trying to convince us (and themselves!) that a story about two-headed demon dogs and giant claymation scorpions should be taken seriously. Recorded at Art City Sound, Springville UT. Rent or stream on Vudo, Amazon Prime, Fandango Now, Cinema Now or Google Play!

Episode 1: THE JAZZ SINGER (1980)

NostalgiaCast ·

2016/10/20

Our introductory episode, in which Jonny and Darin struggle to make sense of Hollywood's current nostalgia boom, lay the groundwork for future episodes, then dive headfirst into the Neil Diamond-starring, Laurence Olivier-slumming '80s classic that's more memorable for its soundtrack than its nonsensical non-plot. Recorded at Art City Sound, Springville UT. Rent or stream on Vudo, Amazon Prime, Cinema Now or Google Play!
