In this week's grumpy nugget episode, the boys present the first in a series of episodes dedicated to the phenomenon of nostalgia and it's impact on modern pop culture. But don't let that pretentious concept fool you, what they're really doing is goofing on all the recent trends ripping off stuff done years ago and claiming it for themselves. And what better place to start than with their own podcast.

In ancient times, Hollywood made grown up crime thrillers and released them in theaters. I know, right? This week the boys go back revisit an already old Harrison Ford in one of his best, yet least talked about performances as the wrongly accused doctor being pursued by Tommy Lee Jones. An action blockbuster that never needed its plot summarized on a collector's cup. Plus we talk about other "wrongfully accused" movies and actually sound insightful for once. Well, sorta.

We're back in the theater this week to take another look at Tron, the much maligned but visionary tale from 1982 Disney. The first film to employ computer generated graphics, this innovative movie paved the way for Jar Jar, Green Lantern, and the Scorpion King. Wait, what?
The boys also talk about their other favorite horrible CGI moments and 80s wuss rock so there's plenty here for everybody.
