Episode #054 | "What's Your Favorite Scary Movie?"
Episode 54
Show notes
Happy Halloween from the Nostalgia Squad! However, this Halloween isn't really "happy," as Carleigh has mysteriously disappeared, and a serial killer is going around Philly. But, knowing her, all signs point to Carleigh as the killer. And knowing the Squad, they'll do nothing but hide out in the drug den and watch one of the greatest horror-movie franchises that satirizes other great horror-movie franchises: Scream. So what's your favorite scary movie?
Dedicated to Scream franchise director Wes Craven (1939-2015) and Scream 4 actress Hayden Panettiere (1989-2026)

Episode #053 | "Our 1st Amendment is Being Provoked by These Songs"
Episode 53
Show notes
More songs were dug up, and it's levels upon levels of controversy. Nursery rhymes and children's songs with racist origins, posthumous releases, diss tracks, and...AI usage?! The Squad continues their quest of digging up controversial songs.

Episode #052 | "Illumination Domination (Powered by Minions)"
Episode 52
Show notes
After the Philadelphia Eagles' loss in London, Art attempts suicide off the Benjamin Franklin Bridge. Being the self-centered, sociopathic assholes they are, the Squad heads back to HQ for the first time in months and looks back in an Illumination retrospective, from Despicable Me to The Secret of Pets to Dr. Seuss's The Lorax and The Grinch.

Episode #051 | "We're Still Not Done Talking (A Very Special Episode)"
Episode 51
Show notes
In March 2025, the Squad ripped both Gen Z and Alpha new assholes for their lack of common sense. In July 2025, they ripped them new assholes again for the same reason, plus more. Now, over a year later, common sense is less common, stupidity has reached an all-time high, the economy is fucked, and any hope for Gen Beta has completely plummeted, for the asshole-ripping has commenced once again. Today, the Squad talks more about Gen Z and Alpha's continuing lack of humanity. Disregard all disclaimers, as their comments SHOULD be taken seriously.

Episode #050 | "Hi, We're the Nostalgia Pod and Welcome to Jackass!"
Episode 50
Show notes
In their 50th episode, Carleigh is seemingly kidnapped. But the boys decided to be loving jackasses by not helping her and instead watching Jackass, the show about a group of jackasses doing jackass shit on TV while telling others NOT to do those jackass shits, but who the hell listens to disclaimers anyway? There was a disclaimer at the beginning of this episode, but you're not going to listen to it...

Episode #049 | "We've Seen Stranger Things In Philly Than in Hawkins (LIVE! From The Mancave)"
Episode 49
Show notes
It's been 10 years since one of the greatest television shows of all time premiered in our households on Netflix, Stranger Things. When this show came out, the Squad were just kids watching kids battling supernatural forces and government mysteries, while the Squad themselves battled dumbass forces and government stupidity. Now, ten years later, the Squad travels back down to 1980s Hawkins, Indiana (and hopefully, not the Upside Down) to recount one of their favorite shows of all time and see if they've seen "stranger things" in 2020s Philadelphia.

Show notes
This was pretty much expected; it's the 2010s. So whatever the Squad missed in Part 1, here they are in Part 2.

Episode #047 | "Our 47th President Is Controversial, So Are These Songs."
Episode 47
Show notes
DISCLAIMER: This episode contains disturbing mature subject matter and outdated, offensive lyrics. They do not reflect the views of the artists today or the Nostalgia Squad.
In 1985, the First Amendment was attacked when a group of "concerned listeners" formed the PMRC, making any songs focusing on sex, violence, occult, drugs, and others controversial. Fast forward 40 years later...there have been countless controversial songs, some more than in the 80s. So the Squad is going through these songs to see if they're as "controversial" as they're claimed to be. And why stop there? The Squad is also adding in their own controversy through songs that they absolutely hate.

Episode #046 | "The Most Gooniest Episode in Disneyland"
Episode 46
Show notes
Seriously, how many Disney-related episodes are they gonna do?! Playhouse Disney shows, Disney Channel/Disney XD shows - animated AND live action, a childhood conspiracy episode filled with mostly Disney, and standalone episodes of Disney-based properties: Gravity Falls, The Muppets, and maybe Family Guy...? At this point, the Squad should just sign to Disney, since they love kissing Mickey's ass.
And that's what they're going to do, since Carleigh's released from "pool jail", kissing Mickey Mouse's ass while "gooning" to every single Disney animated film, from the Classics, the flops, the Renaissance, the 2D, the CGI, etc.

Episode #045 | "Thirteen Reasons....No, a Kabillion Reasons Why"
Episode 45
Show notes
Carleigh, like the normal, completely sane psychopath she is, somehow finds herself in "pool jail" after dropkicking a boy because he stole her chair. And like the highly trained, highly sociopathic idiots they are, the Squad refuses to pay her bail and decides instead to head to the Drug Den and watch Kabillion, because at this point, every child and parent has some restraining order against them.

Episode #044 | "Finally! Another Music Episode! Shit, It's the 2010s...(Part I)"
Episode 44
Show notes
Last episode, it was announced that Jazz would be departing from The Nostalgia Pod. It was meant to be taken as a joke that has now aged poorly, as Jazz is unfortunately - with no joke - departing from the Squad (NOT because of the Scientology bit). This was a mutual, amicable, but unfortunate, decision with no bad blood spilled, and we sincerely thank our little sister for helping us un-fuck the world of its oversensitivity using the power of nostalgia.
And the timing could've been better, as the Squad is doing its first music-themed episode in God knows how long. Yes, they uncovered a box of old iPods and somehow forgot music was a thing. And this time, they're doing it decades-style, and what better decade to start than the one they primarily got their conscience from: the 2010s - more so the last decade with good music, depending.

Show notes
The squad hitched a ride on Jack Frost's cane to join the little boy on top of the DreamWorks moon and fish out some of their favorite and most nostalgic animated movies. Seriously, how did that boy manage to get up there?

Episode 42
Show notes
The wait is finally over, Carleigh returns from her getaway! And in this episode, she takes charge and takes the squad on the Millennium Falcon to a galaxy far, far away from their hellhole of Philly. Yes, Family Guy, you're not the only ones who can do a Star Wars special.

Episode #041 | "It's Not Easy Bein' Green...(or Black)"
Episode 41
Show notes
Jim Henson. Puppeteer. Producer. Director. Innovator. Idea Man. Creative Genius. From humoring millions with The Muppets and Fraggle Rock, to educating millions with Sesame Street, to polarizing millions experimentally with The Dark Crystal and Labyrinth, and designing many costumes and character designs for movies and TV shows via his Creature Shop. It is nearly impossible not to have seen or at least heard of a single Jim Henson work. And now, the Squad pays tribute to the man who helped shape their childhoods, their parents' childhoods, and their parents' childhoods.

Episode #040 | "One Fish, Two Fish, Black Fish, White Fish, Mixed Fish, Bitch Fish"
Episode 40
Show notes
The Squad grew some special "WhoHash" in the drug den and are somehow transported into a world far more chaotic than the streets of Philly. No, this is the wonderfully whimsical, whosical, wubbulous fucked up world of one of the greatest authors to ever wield the pencil: Dr. Seuss. And maybe when they get the munchies, they'll stay away from the Green Eggs and Ham.

Episode #039 | "If You Have an I in Your Name, Congratulations! You're Fucked."
Episode 39
Show notes
More Disney......but it's necessary considering it's the 40th anniversary of Pixar, and they're making ANOTHER F*CKING TOY STORY movie that's coming this year. So, while Jazz is unfortunately on the run for embezzling money, Riv and Art avoid getting chased down by Luxo, the Pixar lamp, in a deserted, polluted Earth because they both have I's in their names, while Marc gets stuck babysitting Jack-Jack, and Carleigh continues to enjoy the chaos-free environment in Italy.
Of course, they're doing a retrospective of Pixar, what'd you think?

Episode #038 | "Back to the '80s! Part II"
Episode 38
Show notes
The squad heads back to the 1980s....again. Yes, despite Doc Brown putting a restraining order on them and locking the DeLorean up in a storage unit, the squad, using their "ways", stole the DeLorean and headed back into the decade they wished they had grown up in. However, things go awry compared to their first go around: Art lands himself in a battle between Godzilla and Biollante, Marc finds himself swarmed by a bunch of Gremlins, Jazz is hunted down by RoboCop, and Riv is chased through the halls by the twins from The Shining.

Episode #037 | "We Got Banned From Disneyland (For Like 5 Years...)"
Episode 37
Show notes
We think the squad loves Disney, don't they? A Playhouse Disney episode, a Disney cartoon episode, an episode with some Disney conspiracy theories, and even a standalone Gravity Falls episode. Well, they did a Nickelodeon live-action shows episode, so it only makes sense to do the same for Disney.
So the squad is going back to Disneyland for the umpteenth time because the manager there is too much of a pushover to ban them, right?

Episode #036 | "Never Meet Your Heroes: The Dark Side of Nostalgia"
Episode 36
Show notes
CONTENT DISCLAIMER: This episode discusses sensitive themes, including racism, homophobia, predatory behavior, sexual misconduct and assault, and violence.
In the past episodes, the squad discussed their beloved shows from various decades and networks, beloved YouTubers, and beloved artists. Unfortunately, behind the scenes, screens and music, some people are...now not-so-loved. Of course, you have celebrities and musicians who, at the top of their fame, burned themselves out later on from drug and alcohol usage. And then, you have those who went down darker paths. Much darker, unforgivable, career-ending paths. If Quiet on Set explores the "dark side of kids' TV," then this episode explores the dark side of nostalgia.

Episode #035 | "What a Wonderful Day to Have Diabeetus"
Episode 35
Show notes
Carleigh, enough with the squad’s shenanigans, has gone to Italy for the next few months to take over the country. The squad, saddened by her temporary departure, decides to eat their troubles away with some of the most nostalgic snacks ever to hit the store shelves, even if they had expired years ago, but they refused to throw them away because the snacks were no longer manufactured.
As expected, they all get food poisoning, but also as expected, they don't care. So while they battle with that, they head down to the Betty Crocker headquarters to demand the return of the Scooby-Doo fruit snacks with the light-blue Scooby-Doo.
