Thriller
2026/10/28
This week on Nostalgia Nerds, we’re getting into the Halloween spirit with our Top 5 Favorite 90s Horror Movies. Then we’re talking compilation CDs, because nothing said “I have incredible taste in music” like a disc packed with all the hits. And of course, we’re opening up our childhood journals for a special Halloween entry about Mischief Night. Grab your candy, turn off the lights, and get ready for a seriously nostalgic Halloween!
Wayne's World
2026/10/21
This week on Nostalgia Nerds, we count down our favorite slang words from the 80s and 90s with our favorite sidekick, BC Preppy, reminisce about the days when encyclopedias were the original Google, and B surprises us with a journal entry of his own. Get ready for plenty of laughs, a healthy dose of nostalgia, and proof that some memories are better left on paper... but we're sharing them anyway!
Electric Youth
2026/10/14
This week on Nostalgia Nerds, we’re spraying on some serious nostalgia with our Top 5 Favorite Perfumes of the 80s and 90s. Then we’re diving into the glorious, slightly terrifying world of waterbeds, because nothing says “luxury” like trying to sleep on a giant bag of water. And of course, we’re cracking open our childhood journals to revisit two very important men in our lives: Dylan McKay and Michael Jackson. The feelings were dramatic, and thankfully, we wrote it all down.
Just Say NO
2026/10/07
This week on Nostalgia Nerds, we’re getting those jingles stuck in your head all over again with our Top 5 Favorite 80s Commercial Jingles! Then we’re heading back to the era of D.A.R.E., “Just Say No,” and the War on Drugs, when Nancy Reagan was telling us to just say no and school assemblies were basically terrifying. And of course, we’re cracking open our childhood journals to revisit our BIG dreams of becoming famous and marrying celebrities. Because clearly, we had a five-year plan, and it involved fame, fortune, and a celebrity husband.
Something to Talk About
2026/09/30
This week on Nostalgia Nerds, we’re grabbing a seat in the audience for our Top 5 Favorite Talk Shows of the 80s and 90s because nothing beat daytime TV. Then we’re celebrating the art of the mixtape: carefully chosen songs, perfectly timed pauses, and hoping the recipient actually understood what every song REALLY meant. And of course, we’re cracking open our childhood journals for another hilarious trip down memory lane, where the drama was real, the feelings were BIG, and absolutely nothing was too embarrassing to write down. Grab a blank cassette and get ready to rewind!
I Want Candy
2026/09/23
This week on Nostalgia Nerds, we’re counting down our Top 5 Makeup Choices from the 80s and 90s. Then we’re diving into the diet culture of the day and remembering all the questionable ways we were told to look “better.” And finally, we’re cracking open those childhood journals to reveal our biggest celebrity crushes—the boys who had us swooning, daydreaming, and convinced we were going to marry them someday. It’s makeup, mayhem, and major crushes!
Tainted Love
2026/09/16
This week on Nostalgia Nerds, we’ve got a special guest joining us for a totally tubular trip down memory lane!

Then we’re diving into the wild and disturbing story of the Long Island Lolita, and of course, we’re cracking open our childhood journals for another round of teenage drama, crushes, and questionable life choices. Grab your popcorn, cue the 80s soundtrack, and get ready for another nostalgic ride!
Back to the Future
2026/09/09
This week on Nostalgia Nerds, we’re going back to the 80s for our Top 5 Spielberg Movies from the decade and revisiting the John Hughes classics that made us question our entire high school experience. Then we’re opening up the journals for another dose of teenage drama where a best friend did us dirty, and the evidence is still in writing. Grab your popcorn, cue up the VHS, and get ready for your weekly dose of nostalgia!
Growing Pains
2026/09/02

And of course, we’re cracking open our childhood journals for another hilarious trip down memory lane, complete with feelings that seemed VERY important at the time. Grab the remote, get comfy, and prepare for a serious dose of nostalgia!
Fear
2026/08/26
This week on Nostalgia Nerds, we're digging up the fears that haunted us as kids with our Top 5 Childhood Fears! We also revisit the legendary Action Park, the waterpark that somehow made “fun day out” sound like a potential trip to the emergency room. And of course, we're cracking open our childhood journals for another invigorating round of embarrassing, dramatic, and laugh-out-loud memories. Grab your floaties and your emotional support teddy bear—this episode is going to be a wild ride!
Vogue
2026/08/19

Get ready for an episode that has big music, questionable soda, and even bigger feelings!
Gremlins
2026/08/12
Brendan is back this week on Nostalgia Nerds, and we're bringing the thrills, chills, and middle school fun! We count down our Top 5 favorite 80s horror movies, revisit the shocking 1996 Atlanta Olympic bombing, and crack open our middle school journals to relive our greatest (and not-so-greatest) April Fools' Day pranks. Expect nostalgia, laughs, and just enough awkwardness to haunt us for another 30 years!
Double Dare
2026/08/05
This week on Nostalgia Nerds, we're buzzing in with our Top 5 favorite game shows from the 80s and 90s. Then we take a trip back to the days when lucky rabbit's feet dangled from every backpack and keychain. And as always, we're cracking open our middle school journals to relive the sweet, hilarious, and occasionally savage notes we used to write in each other's diaries. It's a game-winning combination of nostalgia, laughs, and teen angst!
Today's Special
2026/07/29
This week on Nostalgia Nerds, we're getting wonderfully weird as we count down our Top 5 favorite people-and-puppet shows from the 80s and 90s. Then we lace up our skates and revisit one of the biggest scandals of the decade—the unforgettable Nancy Kerrigan and Tonya Harding Olympic drama. And because middle school was its own emotional roller coaster, we're reading from our journals about friendships that changed and faded. Grab your favorite childhood snack and join us for another episode full of nostalgia, laughs, and all the feelings.
Cornflake Girl
2026/07/22
This week on Nostalgia Nerds, we're pouring a giant bowl of nostalgia as we count down our Top 5 favorite childhood cereals.
Then we revisit one of the wildest pop culture stories of the 90s: the infamous Lorena and John Bobbitt saga that had everyone talking. And because our middle school journals never fail to embarrass us, we're sharing the cringe-worthy entries about our ill-advised shoplifting adventures.
Grab a spoon and join us for another episode full of laughs, nostalgia, and questionable childhood decisions!
