It's stupid is as stupid does as Jonny and Darin welcome Gareth Green of the Popcorn Digest podcast to chat at length about Robert Zemeckis's technical masterwork, FORREST GUMP. We talk floating feathers, shrimp, ping pong, Vietnam, shrimp, Mamas, Bubbas, shrimp, boxes of chocolate, and everything else that makes up this Best Picture-winning black comedy fantasy confection. You never know what you're gonna get!

It's a '90s-palooza as Jonny and Darin return for Season 4 of NostalgiaCast! We kick off a season-long run of episodes devoted to films of the 1990s (which made us the movie geeks we are today) with a look back at Quentin Tarantino's PULP FICTION, the film that arguably defined the entire decade. But is this indisputably influential black comedy crime thriller still impactful today? Or has its rapid-fire dialogue and time-hopping story structure been dulled during the years since? Grab your Big Kahuna Burger and your fatrher's gold watch and find out!

It's aces up, aces over, and aces full as NostalgiaCast '90s Palooza continues with a fond look back at John Dahl's cult classic sports drama ROUNDERS, starring Matt Damon and Edward Norton. We talk about the poker boom kickstarted by the movie, Jonny's passion for Texas HoldEm and Darin's indifference towards it, and (of course) every consonant and syllable of John Malkovich's ridiculous Russian accent. Lay your cards on the table and join us for a game-changing discussion!
