123. 📰 The Nostalgia Test News July '24: Richard Simmons, Dr. Ruth, Yellowstone Volcano, The Dream Team, & more Reboots!

The Nostalgia Test Podcast

Dan & Manny go deep into the July Nostalgic News to see if it passes the ultimate test--THE NOSTALGIA TEST!

July was a very eventful month in the Nostalgia community. Dan & Manny start with sad news, the recent passing of beloved pop-culture icons Shannon Doherty, Richard Simmons, Bob Newhart, and Dr. Ruth. The guys panic about the hydrothermal explosion in Yellowstone National Park and how the park is literally a huge volcano, and they reminisce on their time there during their cross-country road trip. Dan wants to talk about the 1992 NBA Dream Team and the return of Snapple's Elements drink line. Then Dan & Manny get down to business and rip into the upcoming sequels and reboots like Twisters, Alien: Romulus, the newest Karate Kid movie, 28 Years Later, Jurassic World 4, Matrix 5, Final Destination: Bloodlines and more. Plus, why would anyone think a new Naked Gun film starring Liam Neeson would be a good idea?! Finally, Dan & Manny give some of their Nostalgia predictions such as a possible live-action Rugrats or Doug movie adaptation.
