Starting off strong with Zachary recounting a Batman even he was too young to be a fan of, and James talking horror that we all saw probably a little too early in our lives. So sit back, get ready for bad puns and cheesy horrors, as we see if the 1960's Batman TV show and The Evil Dead are still good!

Wed, 12 Jun 2024 08:00:29 GMT

Wed, 05 Jun 2024 09:00:57 GMT

Did we talk too long about hunks of cheap plastic? Yes. Did we end up having our theme song for this show influenced but what James brought this time? Also yes.

So if you liked pretending to be a rock star or knowing kung fu, welcome to the party pal!

Jump aboard the nostalgia train as two friends James and Zachary take a look at everything from their childhood, and yours, to ask the question... is it still good? From classic video games to cartoons. Super heroes to must have toys, nothing is off limits as long as someone has a fond memory of it. And maybe those memories hold up, or maybe it's best to leave the past where it is. We won't know unless we ask, is it still good?
