Remember when old movies meant black-and-white gangsters and big band soundtracks? Yeah—now it’s Star Wars and Saturday Night Fever.
In this episode of Talk of the Tavern, Travis and Ed grapple with the gut-punch realization that the 1960s and '70s are now retro. That’s right—our classics are today’s sepia-toned nostalgia.
From vinyl revivals to AI Beatles, from Woodstock to Woodstock '99 (shudder), we break down why modern entertainment keeps reaching backward—and how we became the elders yelling at clouds made of VHS static.
So pour something aged (like you), and let’s time travel through the decades... only to find ourselves in the museum exhibit.
What’s on Tap?
📺 The 60s & 70s are now ancient history—pop culture says so.
🎙️ Why old-school aesthetics are dominating music, fashion, and film again.
📼 Retro reboots: Who asked for these? And why do we keep watching?
🧓 “Back in my day…” moments we didn’t realize we were having.
📻 The uncomfortable beauty of realizing we’re someone else’s nostalgia.
Toasts, Topics, & Tangents
🔥 Travis admits he thought disco would never come back—and now it’s TikTok fuel.
🔥 Ed explores why “classic” now includes his entire childhood.
🔥 Both hosts wrestle with how pop culture time-traveled without them—and dragged their knees with it.
