Podcast Overview

Do you ever wake up in the middle of the night and think, "God, remember Zoo Pals?" Welcome to Nostalgia Blinded, the show where two best friends with the same first name take a rose-tinted look at the media of the past! Join Nick and Nick every week(ish) as they foolishly attempt to curtail the never-ceasing flow of time by talking about cancelled TV shows and ill-conceived commercials, video games from before Instagram existed, overlong book series that probably have a whole bunch of problematic stuff in them, and albums that your parents think are totally cool.

Nostalgia Blinded 42: Hide Your Kids, Hide Your Wife, Hide Your Clone, Hide Your Clone's Kids, Hide Your Wife's Clone

<p>Today we're going to be talking about the most complicated media property we've ever covered on the show, and maybe one of the more complicated ones out there. Just reading the story from start to finish, like Nick did when he was 14, there's already amnesia, dimension hopping, little furry dudes with earrings, dimension-specific magic powers, global illusion magic, secret clones, amnesia again, mind control, cursed twins, time paradoxes, and soul-trapping glass tubes, but after all of that is said and done, the amount of intertextuality, crossovers, cameos, and references to other series by the same authors is mind-melting. Reading this one first is like if you watched Infinity War first, but if Infinity War was anime. And also, it's the same people who did the Kakyoin lays an egg thing, so that's fun. This week, the Nicks talk Tsubasa: Reservoir Chronicle. Will it turn out that one of the Nicks is a clone of the other Nick while that Nick is also the first Nick's father because of a time paradox? In this series, it's more likely than you'd think.&nbsp;</p> <p>Follow Andy Huber (@yafroglog on Instagram) for amazing art stuff!

Nostalgia Blinded 41: Hal, It's about Cats... & Dogs (2001)

<p>We didn't start out this episode intending to talk about the 2001 spy-comedy kids film "Cats &amp; Dogs," but I think we can confidently say that we've all been enriched by the experience? Sure. This film dares to ask: what exactly is funny about household pets doing spy stuff? It's conclusion? Scientists are still searching for the answer to this day, but in the meantime we've got some trash tier jokes, some bizarrely dark plot developments, and some truly early-2000s animation and filmmaking techniques to sift through. The real question at the end of it all is whether or not we actually care, and that depends: does it count if you care about the fact that something exists, but not about the thing itself? This week on Nostalgia Blinded, it's time to dive deep into the philosophical questions surrounding the very idea of nostalgia, so strap in folks: it's "Cats &amp; Dogs!"</p> <p>Follow Andy Huber (@yafroglog on Instagram) for amazing art stuff!

Nostalgia Blinded 40: Reacting to Nostalgic Commercials feat. Matt & Filip!

<p>For our 40th episode, we decided to do something a little different. And also finally tackle Zoo Pals, but that's neither here nor there--the point is that we know it's an audio medium, but this time we decided to get some friends together and go straight to the source, watching some nostalgic commercials and offering our own twisted and skewed views on them. Of course, that isn't to say that some of these commercials aren't quite twisted and skewed already, but that's just part of the fun and also the existential horror of living in a media landscape that's been wild for longer than most of us care to think about.&nbsp;</p> <p>To watch along with us, head to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jEWnN04lwZo, mute your sound, and follow along with the time codes as we call them out! If you're around the same age as us on the call, we can guarantee you'll have some pretty intense memory activation experiences, so prepare yourself!&nbsp;</p> <p>Follow Andy Huber (@yafroglog on Instagram) for amazing art stuff!
