In this episode of Usenick Unleashed, Mike kicks back with Nathan Kepner — guitarist of Theriaca and the creative force behind the retro-themed food truck The Retro Shak — for a laid-back, nostalgia-packed conversation about classic video games, old-school movies, and the timeless magic of retro culture.
From 8-bit consoles to 80s cult films, Mike and Nate dive into what makes retro entertainment so special, how it continues to inspire creativity, and why nostalgia still connects people today. They share laughs, swap memories, and celebrate the cheesy brilliance of The Retro Shak’s signature mac and cheese.
⚙️ Note: We ran into a few technical gremlins during the recording — expect a couple of brief camera hiccups along the way, but the conversation rolls on strong!
