Nostalgia Killers

Don't forget to lock all of your doors, and since you live in a resort, there are so many doors to check, so be careful. Happy Halloween, everyone! This show is produced in Santa Rosa and we always love researching our favorite locally made films, and 1996's Scream is legendary in that rite. Ask anyone here who lived through the production and they will have a story to tell. Scream itself is truly a catalyst for the meta-horror films that have followed ever since the mid 90s. So get your wonderfully antiquated method for making popcorn ready and enjoy the show!

This Movie's Cocktail: I’ll Be Right Back

1.5oz Charbay R5 whiskey

.5oz curaçao

.5oz Fig Brandy

.5oz lemon

shake everything with frozen water and strain into a chilled coupe. Sip as you argue with Randy about who the greatest scream queen is

We made it to 100 episodes! Through good movies and bad, through the traumatic destruction of our childhoods and our heroes falling from their pedestals like autumn leaves, we made it. And we still love movies.

Pulp Fiction is one of those films we have had high on a pedestal for so long that we stopped watching it regularly for fear of wearing it out. But how will it stand up to the discerning eyes of professional Nostalgia Killers? Will we fawn over the lengthy conversations about hamburgers and the sanitary nature of pigs and dogs? Or will the urge to pick it apart without mercy creep into our trigger fingers? Has anyone checked to see if the safety is on? (Seriously: don't take your firearm habits from this movie.)

I guess you'll just have to watch and listen. This episode is arranged in random order for your confusion and in a weak attempt to ape a format made popular by this film. Just stay our of Russel's old room.

This Movie's Cocktails:

Vincent Vega

4oz Cola

1.5 Charbay Espresso Cocktail

Splash of cream

Combine over frozen water as you get up the nerves to dance with Mia Wallace

Jules Winfield

1oz Pineapple

1oz Coconut

1.5 oz Charbay Meyer lemon vodka

.5oz Lime

Shake and strain over fresh frozen water as you prepare to walk the earth

Nobody talks about Richard Jeni any more. Once a reliable sidekick character actor, now relegated to faded memories. This week we take a deep dive into one of his most successful movies where he actually had lines and screen time with the main characters, in 1994's The Mask. Also, I believe that in this entire podcast we fail to mention Richard Jeni a single time. Here's to you, Richard.

This Movie's Cocktail: Coco Bongo Cooler

1.5 Charbay Green Tea Vodka

1 Watermelon Juice

.5 Lime

Sprig of mint

Shake and serve over frozen water and sip as you turn into a horny cartoon wolf watching Tina Carlyle preform

Finish sanding your custom paddles and grab a beer from any car because it's the last day of school and it's time to go whoop some memories of a movie that takes place in a time period in which none of us lived, in 1993's Dazed and Confused.

This Movie's Cocktail: Wet Wooderson

3oz of a Peach Mint Shrub (champagne vinegar, puréed peaches, mint and brown sugar)

Soda Water/Beer

1.5 Charbay R5 Whiskey

Mix up the shrub and soda over frozen water. You don’t have to add any whiskey; but it’d be a lot cooler if you did

We are joined by two hosts from one of our favorite podcasts, The Cult Show, Nine Inch Neils and Canydman Cay to revisit a nexus of A-list actors and fantastic hair that brought us into the 1990s by trying to die...for just a little bit. We tempt fate and bring back Billy Mahoney in 1990's Flatliners. This movie's Sonic Death Monkey Top 5 has us listing our top 5 films that owe us an apology.

Braving another movie cocktail possibly laced with fruit that she's allergic to, Magalli Larque joins us once again for one of her all-time favorite movies, To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything, Julie Newmar. Loosely disguised as a modern western, our three heroines must take refuge in a small middle American town where they might ruffle some boa feathers, but ultimately bring justice, peace, and a whole lotta color and love to the townsfolk who seem to have been left behind by the rest of the world. So hop in, betches, we're going to...Snydersville?

This week we delve into Bryan's formative years and watch a film that was on heavy repeat. Despite both of us still liking this movie, close inspection reveals a devastating truth linked to its production and the man twisting the steering reigns, Terry Gilliam, in his first director-for-hire project. Strap yourself in and get ready to dose yourself with whatever may be at hand as we rewatch 12 Monkeys. And gratuitous Brice Willis scrub-downs. And butts. So many butt shots...

This Movie's Cocktail: The Gilliam

2 oz Vodka

2 oz Dark Rum

4 oz Pineapple Juice

4 oz Orange Juice

Garnish a small fishbowl with every fruit rind and swizzle straw in your kitchen and fill with ice.

Pour ingredients over ice while reciting any Monty Python sketch.

Avoid being crushed by large paper cutouts of feet coming down from above.

We haven't laughed this hard in a long time. Two actors in the prime of their careers dive head first into a ridiculous premise that is not quite science fiction and not quite horror, but is effing action from the first frame to the last, in 1995's Face Off.

This Movie's Cocktail: I could drink a peach for hours

.75oz bourbon

.75oz brandy

1oz grilled peach syrup

.75oz lemon

Dash of vanilla

Pinch of cocoa

Shake all the ingredients and serve over crushed frozen water, sip as you get your vocal chip aligned

This Movie's Cocktail: Monkey Blood

2oz Rum

0.5oz banana liqueur

0.25oz hibiscus syrup

0.75 Lime

Maura Quint joins us again for a classic movie that we've all seen a thousand times, partly to celebrate Valentine's Day, partly to honor Rob Reiner, but mostly because we just love The Princess Bride. And for this episode's Sonic Death Monkey, we list our top 5 movies we'd like Peter Faulk to read to us when we were sick in bed. And remember: Andre the Giant says that people in masks cannot be trusted!

This Movie's Cocktail: Imbibe the Inconceivable

Optional 2oz Tapatio Blanco tequila

0.75 oz Grapefruit Juice

0.5 oz Lime Juice

1oz Strawberry Syrup

Shake all of the ingredients with frozen water, and strain into a goblet of your choice. But before we drink you must know that one of these glasses contains an addition of habanero peppers. Choose wisely, the battle of wits is afoot!

Rounding out our 3rd season with what we thought of as an old favorite, we lean back and take pride in what we managed to accomplish by rewatching a frantic personification of stress in 1995's Four Rooms. The Epilogue for this episode is FREE and we use it to wrap up our top 5 movies we watched this year and many more drunken rantings. Available on our Patreon and YouTube channel. http://nostalgiakillers.com/

Welcome back, Pointers! We're joined by comedy writer Maura Quint for a kind of hat-on-a-hat stacking of nostalgia to talk about 1997's Grosse Pointe Blank. Already moderately successful during its time, it has become an even stronger cult classic, and for good reason: it seems to be a nearly perfect movie. It's truly difficult to find any faults, so we simply just enjoyed watching this movie again.

This Movie's Cocktail: Drawing a Blank

Collins glass 1

.5 oz EverClear

0.5 oz Lime Juice

10 oz Lime Gatorade

In a shaker with ice, mix ingredients gently, pour into a Collins glass. With any luck, the mixer makes the Everclear passable as you wipe away your fond memories of your childhood.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays everyone! It's not too late... to finally edit and publish the Christmas podcast. Unavoidable during the holiday season, 1988's Scrooged is a TV staple to this day, rivaled in air time only by A Christmas Story. With a wonderfully talented cast and amazing practical effects, we mull over why this just doesn't put us in the Christmas spirit any more.

Be sure to check out the Epilogue on our Patreon where we discuss newer movies and films we've recently watched. NostalgiaKillers.com takes you there!

This Movie's Cocktail: Lumpy’s Libation

1 oz Chai Syrup

Dash of vanilla extract

0.5 oz Lemon Juice

Soda

1.5 oz Charbay Meyer Lemon Vodka

Combine the ingredients in a glass of frozen water (fuck ice) and top with soda water. Throw a few back as do everything in your power to not learn the meaning of Christmas

Just in time for seasonal relevance we embark on the journey of probably the most Thanksgiving movie ever made, 1987's Planes, Trains, and Automobiles. This beloved classic is so entwined in our memories that they kinda blur into each other at times, and upon closer watching there are several plot points that seem to crop up out of nowhere... as if there were large swaths of this film that we've never seen and will never see... Whelp, that's my ellipses quota for this year. Enjoy, and happy holidays from the NK crew!

We send off one of the greats in this episode, and despite his rather extensive movie catalog, we chose a film perhaps not well known by most: 1992's Sneakers. Using the backdrop of San Francisco and the Bay Area, Robert Redford's high-rent A-Team trapses through ducts and bypasses security systems to retrieve a serious piece of hardware. Full of action and comedy and bad running, Sneakers delivers the goods that would go on to inspire Mission Impossible and Ocean's movies.

Goodbye, Robert Redford. (be bored forgery odd rot)

This movie's cocktail: Cosmo’s Cosmo (aka Pizza-tini)

2oz Parmesan and pepperoni infused vodka

4oz Tomato juice

A pinch of Basil, oregano and garlic powder

Mix the tomato juice with the herbs and spices and separately combine the vodka with a slice of pepperoni and an once of Parmesan cheese. Let both mixtures infuse overnight; be sure to filter out any particles.

Once both mixtures are ready; combine them in a shaker tin with ice; remembering that Cosmo likes his pepperoni pizza shaken not stirred.

Arguably the pinnacle of the Indiana Jones series of films, in this episode we revisit The Last Crusade (and one of us for the first time) as Indy tracks down his kidnapped Sean Connery and is forced to join him on his quest of the holy grail. From the golden era of film making, paying homage to the previous golden era of film making, Spielberg keeps the magic and mysticism flowing even after all these years.

This Movie's Cocktail: Cup of Kings

2oz Nectarine infused Charbay Vodka

.5oz Lemon Juice

.5oz Simple Syrup

Tonic

Handful of fresh fruit

Combine everything in a pint glass and top with tonic water. Sip as you ruminate over the fact that you’ve slept with the same nazi as your father.

Can a movie have eyes bigger than its stomach? This episode we tackle The Ring, and our haunting memories that have grown long shadows with age. Once placed on a horror pedestal and marketed to within an inch of its life, this film might not see all of us through. I don't know, though: if I handed you a VHS tape and told you it was cursed, what would race through your mind, other than where the hell am I going to find a working VCR in 2025? Would you watch it?

This movie's cocktail: She Never Sleeps

1.5oz Charbay Espresso Martini Liqueur

0.5oz Amaro

Angostura Bitters

1 whole egg

Shake all ingredients together with ice. Once chilled strain and re-shake without ice. Serve in a chilled glass and sip as you savor your final 7 days

Just in time for Pride Month! Er... why wait for June to celebrate? Julia Kaplan joins us once again for this wonderful time capsule of independent film, But I'm a Cheerleader.

Writer/Director Jamie Babbit's ambitious film about a cheerleader sent to gay conversion camp lands several jabs and jokes aimed at common stereotypes and misled perceptions of, well, let's face it: squares. Beloved by many and appropriately placed on a pedestal, listen in to see what Javier thinks after seeing it for the first time. And if anyone knows where to get one of those electro-toy-thingies, leave us a clue in the comments.

This movie's COCKtail: Rocks Refresher

4oz Chocolate Pretzel infused milk

1oz Chocolate pretzel infused rum

Mix everything in a milkshake glass and top with cream soda. Shove your hand down the back of your pants before serving.
