The Nostalgia PitFree Speech: OverratedHere at The Pit, we are known to ponder a conundrum of two. And today, we do a TON of just that. We ask questions like: would humans be a healthy source of meat, or is Star Trek racist, or would you fellate your clone? Ya know, just normal, basic philosophical queries… But that’s not all, folks… We also talk about a brand new film starring our very own resident myna bird, Rob Snow! The film is called S86, it's an independent sci-fi/horror film debuting this December in select theaters. Rob gives a preview and a lil b...
2025-11-211h 32The Nostalgia PitJork of All TradesAnd just like that, we’re back to brackets! Ron returns to guide through the deep dark depths of quote mining. Everyday phrases depicting simple “truths” turn out to be simple misnomers. Who would have thought that foundational pieces of dogma could be entirely the result paraphrasing and misinterpretation? Everything from “the early bird gets the worm” to “peace on earth” is up for reevaluation…But of course, that’s not all we talk about. We ask very important questions, like what kind of music a pigeon would most be suited to play, or if Michael McDonald and Cher might be...
2025-11-151h 44The Nostalgia PitFur & Loathing in Los GatosHappy Halloween folks! We hope you get to enjoy all the spiced beverages and sugared finger foods that your heart desires.

Rob cracks open the dusty encyclopedias to give us a history lesson on costumes. More specifically, one type of costume… Even more specif...
2025-10-311h 28The Nostalgia PitTo Bridge or To UnabridgeToday is a day where we let our interests dictate the flow. We discuss everything from the Three Rivers Dam in China, to waste management, to the museumification of society. We also talk Mark Twain, Animorphs, and the infamous Action Park. Wash all that goodness down with a shot of snail vodka and nice helping of surströmming for a pallet cleanser… We also did something very visual in this episode: we looked through a LOT of Animorphs covers. This segment will be available to watch on our YouTube soon!Plus! Rob tries to book Will...
2025-10-161h 31The Nostalgia PitUrban Legends: Drugs Edition w/ MADSHROOM MCBefore social media, word of mouth was the way an average Joe could learn of all the stories that may be too hot for the mainstream… Often, these stories had a brief moment in the sun and were able to make a long-lasting enough impression to linger in the fringes of society for decades after.So our resident bracket curator Drinks w/ Ron gathered many of these stories and assembled a heavyweight tournament of drug induced urban legends in order to accommodate our very own spleen, the one and only MADSHROOM MC. This one is hands down, th...
2025-10-021h 58The Nostalgia PitThe Ever-Widening Nostalgia Window w/ Tyler RickshawHowdy, folks! For this episode, Rob and I ventured down to Texas to talk with friend-of-the-pod Tyler Rickshaw!

We also talk cheap ways to travel, growing up in a small town, an...
2025-09-182h 03The Nostalgia PitThe GirtheningToday, we did something a little unorthodox… Perhaps, a bit uncalled for… Maybe even a little unnecessary... We decided to mess with the timeline, and record an impromptu episode and shuffle it ahead. What could be so important that would earn such a shuffling?As you may know by now, Rob and myself - aka Araless and Hash Adams - released a project called the Toxic Crusaders. As the Troma Entertainment world is special to us, we were very excited to see the new Toxic Avenger movie starring Peter Dinklage, Taylour Paige, Elijah Wood & Kevin Bacon. Spoilers aple...

2025-08-281h 25The Nostalgia PitJustice For Short Round w/ Celina FloresThis week is a doozy.... We got special guest Celina Flores to join Colin to look back to a day and time when things were simpler and the adventure was a little more exhilarating. Almost 30 years in fact... This special Limited Recall looks into one of the biggest movie franchises of the 20th century. None other than… Indiana Jones. And that’s not all of course. It’s Rob Review’s time, folks! Rob is gonna review something for us, and this time it is J-Lo’s The Cell after Colin’s breakdown last week. We also discuss metho...

Stay tuned and you’ll find ou...
2025-08-141h 32The Nostalgia PitDavid Carotene vs. The Knuckle SandwichDo you remember being taught things by teachers as a kid, things that as you got older seemed suspiciously false? The biggest and most egregious example that comes to mind always is that of Christopher Colombus. They told us he “discovered America” and that he was one of the, if not the greatest explorer the world had ever seen.Well, it is that time of the month… where we welcome back in Drinks w/ Ron to facilitate a battle of myths. Old wives tales taught to us by authority figures and painted as absolutes. In this month’s bracke...
2025-08-071h 58The Nostalgia PitThe Sad Clown ParadoxHave you ever been in a public setting and felt an overwhelming bout of emotion coming on? Have you ever taken those emotions and crammed them down into a dark place that no one can see, only to put on a smile in the face of the seemingly judgemental? Well so has Melissa Manchester and she would like to tell us all about it with her hit song Don’t Cry Out Loud from 1978. So Rob and I put on our hard hats with the little lights on them and did some spelunking, trying to decipher this bal...
2025-07-241h 37The Nostalgia PitDuh Pesch ModeToday, we have a helluva episode for you. For those who are fans of hip hop, this one may feel like getting a wisdom tooth removed… But for those of you who are starfuckers out there, this one should be a lot of fun. We welcome our monthly resident Drinks w/ Ron back in to do a bracket based solely on celebrities who attempted rap music. Whether trying to launch an entire career in the genre, or perhaps just doing it for shits-and-giggles, we’re pitting some of the best and brightest up against each other for a bat...
2025-07-102h 09The Nostalgia PitSchultzy's LamentToday, we decided to go against the sage advice of a good friend, and do what many would not. If you may recall we had a guest Matt Goodwin on an episode a bit ago entitled Barefeet in the Moshpit… In this episode, we discussed Matt’s dabblings in Hollywood and some of the works he acted in…One of these films was released in 2006 and was titled Treasures of Painted Forest… Matt was quite adamant that we do NOT watch this film. So, of course, Rob and I did the exact opposite of the recommendation and fired it...
2025-07-032h 14The Nostalgia PitMood Rings & Dolphin Tears w/ MelanieBoy, have we got an episode for you… Not only do we discuss Goosebumps knockoffs like Shivers and Graveyard School, but we also talk Korean corndogs, mood rings, and the illustrious wordplay of one Bob Dylan.But, that’s not why we’re here today. Today we had to bring in the wonderful brain of Melanie in order to Spelunk the 1994 smash hit I Only Wanna Be With You by Hootie & The Blowfish. As you can imagine, the conversation steers into many things, such as court jesters, phrasal etymology, and Nick News.PLUS...

This one here, is the deepest… the darkest… the craziest amount of research I have done for any episode yet. The lengths, depths, and girths that I went to to find out what the hell Ecco the Dolphin is really about… Holy mackerel.If you never played the 1992 smash hit game exclusively for the Sega systems, you missed out. And if you did play the game, you probably remember it’s immensely difficult and confusing puzzles. But if you happe...

For 28 years, I’ve wondered where they came back from… A trip to Spain? Cancun? A hiatus? The confused child in me has always wanted to know, so you know what?! We did some deep diving to fin...
2025-05-211h 39The Nostalgia PitGibbets for GibletsToday, we venture down a path that intersects with overrated desserts, corporate schlock, and the aesthetic of 90s pornography. But of course that is not all! We have a Limited Recall of the 1995 smash hit Batman Forever, as well as a Rob’s Review of the new Minecraft movie.We also decided to probe into the history of the Netherlands, specifically one very interesting incident involving brothers Johan and Cornelius de Witt… If this strikes no memory bells for you, then stick around, cause this is a fun one.And if you enjo...
