53 – Nostalgia Is Killing Us and 2015 isn’t like Back To The Future Part II
Plus what we watched over break!
This week, Katey, Patches David and Da7e are in 2015, the Year of our Time Lord Doctor Emmett Brown and where the **** are our hoverboards and self-fitting jackets in Thriller-ready red? This year there’s an unusual amount of movies coming up designed to pull on the old nostalgia heart-strings (otherwise how do you justify a Point Break remake?). The gang tackles this while also applying fast-acting nostalgia to the things they watched at the tail end of 2014. Some of them deserve your consideration!
