  • Summary

  • We all remember the most awesome things from our childhood as we grew over the years. But are all those cool things still as great as you remember? Or, does it all just seem that way due to the rose-colored lenses of nostalgia? This Podcast aims to answer that very question across a range of topics. Are you a disco kid? Did you grow up during the greatest decade for music and hairbands? Are you favorite memories all from the final years of the 20th century? Then you're in good company as Jeffrey, Andy, Michael, and Mike (Yes, we have two of them) answer the question; Is it Cool or Just Nostalgia?

    001 - The Christmas Special! - "You smell like beef & cheese, you don’t smell like Santa."
    Dec 20 2024

    The eternal struggle is fought here between what is genuinely cool and timeless for every generation versus those things that are pure nostalgia and only seem great because of your childhood memories. Whether it’s Ghostbusters, Star Wars, James Bond, Super Mario, Star Trek, or Marvel Comics vs DC, we cover all our favorite things from the 70s, 80s, 90s, and 2000s. After each of us present an item related to the episode’s topic, the group votes to decide whether it is still Cool or Just Nostalgic.

    Every two weeks we’ll bring a theme to the episode that Jeffrey, Michael, Andy, and Mike will have to present a topic for voting related to that theme. We will state our case on things like Nintendo, Retro Arcades, Throwback Songs of the 70s, 80, 90s, and early 2000s, or even cars from film and television. Will we sway to others to believe our topic is still cool? Or will they vote that our love for it is simply nostalgia?

    This week, we cover some of our favorite Christmas Movies
