154. Nostalgia Test News: Movie Trailers, Rick Rolls, & Will Manny Metal?

Dan, Manny, & Billy are joined by their longtime friend Jeremy Madson to talk about a whole bunch of nostalgic pop culture craziness and put it to the ultimate test—THE NOSTALGIA TEST!

“Now John Hammond self-fertilizes the dinosaur eggs.” -Billy

This is what happens when a guest cancels on The Nostalgia Test, the wildest Nostalgia Test News episode yet! The opening monologue is part of Billy’s hot take of Jack Nicholson’s performance in The Shining. Then, because this was recorded before the summer, the boys give their live predictions and hot takes on the trailers for Happy Gilmore 2, The Naked Gun, and Spaceballs 2.  They talk about Adam Sandler’s comedy legacy, the latest slew of comedies, can Liam Neeson be funny, and the wildest comedy of all time Tropic Thunder. Dan introduces a brand new “Rick Roll” and then we see which Metal songs pass the “Will Manny Metal” test!

Email us ([e-mail]) your thoughts, opinions, and questions about this episode or anything else nostalgic on your mind and we'll read it for next time on the pod!
