The Nostalgia Pit

Comedy, Music

The Nostalgia Pit is a podcast aiming to dissect pop culture, the subconscious, and other psychological phenomena through a hyperbolic and prismatic lens. Hosted by Rob Snow and Colin Casserd, the Nostalgia Pit is available anywhere you find your podcasts.

Nostalgia is so often thought of as something great from our childhood... But this psychological pitfall can sometimes have massive effects on our decision making. Our goal here is to discuss these areas where morals and ethics blur and the warm feelings of childhood take over. Oh, and to talk some shit...

  4. I Can't Go For WHAT?!?!

    Season 7, Episode 4

    Show notes

    Have you ever listened to the famed Hall & Oates song and wondered: "what is it that they can't go for??!" If so, this is the perfect episode for you! It's time for Song Spelunker as we dig into the meaning of I Can't Go For That (No Can Do) and recklessly speculate about it's possible meaning(s).

    And that's not all of course! We also brought back Probin' Time and looked into Steven Spielberg's now defunct animation Amblimation and everything that it gifted us in it's short 4 year run. That's right: Fievel Goes West, We're Back & Balto and all the history around the three 90s cult classic cartoons.

  5. Brackets Brackets!

    Season 7, Episode 3

    Show notes

    Brackets. Are. BACK! You know what that means... Resident bracketologist Drinks w/ Ron is in the house with another surprise for us. This week, as it is our 17th bracket, Ron decided to make a bracket of our brackets! How very meta of him... Our resident spleen Shroom Daddy 69 is in the house as well to help out.

    Besides all the discussion of brackets and recaps of old brackets, we discuss a possible NEW podcast coming to the Lowfalutin network. But that's not all, of course. We also discuss hearing absurd things while riding public transit and the logistics of using certain items as weapons...

  6. Oops! All Peaks! w/ Matt Goodwin

    Season 7, Episode 2

    Show notes

    We welcome back musician and actor Matt Goodwin into The Pit. He's here to discuss his new record Lights Along the Road which comes out November 13th. With a few singles already out, he was kind enough to allow our audience a EXCLUSIVE sneak peak at one of the songs that is NOT slated to be a single, and thus, will only be out when the record drops.

    We also brought back Rob's Reviews and looked at the 2024 film Kung Fu Games starring Matt himself! This movie was released by Tiger Style Media and was the last movie to be filmed on the famous soundstage that was home to the 1997 smash hit Titanic starring Leo DiCaprio & Kate Winslet.

    Make sure you check out the film and Matt's music, streaming on all platforms you can find that sort of thing.

    Season 6, Episode 28

    Show notes

    This week we welcome in an absolute beast of the independent hip hop scene, the illustrious Curly Castro. One half of Shrapknel, a member of the Wrecking Crew, and co-host of the Call Out Culture Podcast, Castro joins us today to discuss his upcoming record titled Yaphet which will be released September 18 2026.

    But that's not all. Being The Nostalgia Pit, we had to talk about comic books, making bootlegs in the 90s & early 00s, reggae riddums, and so much more... Make sure to check out Yaphet when it drops. In the meantime, go check all his past music. You won't be disappointed.

  15. The 27 Club

    Season 6, Episode 27

    Show notes

    The para-social relationship that with we have with celebrities is perhaps the deepest and strongest with artists. Those who put their emotionality into a consumable product in order for others to take a better peek into the human experience. Art has the capacity to take an emotional situation that largely takes place on a personal level (in our own head) and express it so that others can not only relate to it, but find a tribe of like minded individuals, thus, removing the weight of supposed isolation.

    Janis Joplin. Jimi Hendrix. Jim Morrison. Kurt Cobain. There are so many great artists that we lost early, and coincidentally, a handful of notable people died at the same age within a short period of time. That age was of course 27. We decided to learn about the history of the 27 Club, the members, and a few possible explanations. That's right! It's Probin' Time!

  16. Slippin' Into Darkness...

    Season 6, Episode 26

    Show notes

    Welp! We managed to slip ALL THE WAY into darkness for this one. Just like little Alan Parrish slipped into the jungle some call Jumanji and be stuck there for 26 whole years in total darkness. That's 6894.5 days alone and being hunted... Holy mackerel, how did we not realize how dark this 1995 film starring Robin Williams and Kirsten Dunst really was?! It's Probin' Time!

    And that's not even the depths of the Pit this week. We also look into a seemingly meaningless name that most people have never come across, only to find the unnecessary honoring of one a man up for the Worst Human All Time award. That man is William S. Harney, an excessively violent racist that took pleasure in being at the forefront of the theft of this land from the indigenous people of this land.

    We don't go too deep into details, but still, trigger warning.

  17. Y2K: The Ultimate Anticlimax

    Season 6, Episode 25

    Show notes

    Holy nostalgia, Batman! This one is packed to the gills with everything from the turn of the 21st century, including but limited to nu metal, boy bands, SpongeBob, JNCO jeans, TRL, low rise jeans, the dot com bubble, and of course, Y2K.

    That's not all of course. We also recap our recent watch of the 1974 cult classic film Zardoz starring Sean Connery, Fleetwood Mac's Rumors, and the highlights from Rob's most recent tour opening for the east coast rap duo ShrapKnel. PLUS: Colin does a Limited Recall on Steven Segal's 1992 hit movie: Under Siege.

  18. What REALLY Happened to Paul McCartney!?!?

    Season 6, Episode 24

    Show notes

    Did Paul McCartney ACTUALLY die in 1966 in car crash? Was this the real reason The Beatles grew facial hair?! Maybe it's the reason they stopped touring?!? Drinks w/ Ron takes us through the life, times, and music of arguably the biggest band of all time, and perhaps one of the biggest cover ups ever...

    With clues scattered throughout movies, music, interviews, interludes, and more, it could only take a true detective to sleuth the truth out of this one.

  19. Crab Rangoon Pizza w/ Blockhead

    Season 6, Episode 23

    Show notes

    This week we welcome the legendary hip hop producer and photodump specialist Blockhead back into the Pit! As it’s been so long since his last appearance, we were absolutely brimming with things to talk about.

    So of course, we do a lightweight Song Spelunker into the one and only Ganksta N-I-P, talk more awful pizza, and talk his upcoming project Boatshoes with Brian Ennals. We also talk about trading mixtapes on message boards in the late 90s, and how Blockhead managed to distribute his and Aesop Rock’s music without typical distribution.

    This week, we shoot from the hip. With topics abound, we talk everything from Studio Ghibli to slasher films, from the Backrooms to Breaking Bad, from the etymology of the cocktail to real life fight clubs. This one's got (mostly) everything.

    Plus! Rob gives us a very rare double review! A podcast first! Look at us, still doing new things after all these years...
