Marisa Vitale is featured on this week's episode of Nicstalgia. We talk about our shared experiences during our upbringing and how we were filmmakers, producers, editors, and choreographers recreating music videos (doing what we now call ‘content creation’) in the early 2000s. We explore why people are critical of “Disney Adults”, and how we should really just let people enjoy what they love. Sidebar – the most recent compilation from the iconic collection, Now That's What I Call Music! 81, was released on January 28, 2022.
