🎙Put your pop-culture past to the ultimate test--THE NOSTALGIA TEST w/ longtime friends Dan & Manny 👬
Dan & Manny are joined by friend of the show, artist & pop culture enthusiast Andrew Breen to put the 1989 fantasy comedy horror film Little Monsters to the ultimate test—THE NOSTALGIA TEST!
“Little Monsters is one of the most repellent, distasteful, truly creepy movies I’ve seen in a long time, a movie so unpleasant I can’t really figure out why anybody wanted to make it, and I don’t know why anybody would wanna see it.”
-Roger Ebert
It’s officially Spooky Season and what better way to celebrate than to put one of the weirdest and creepiest movies ever made to the ultimate test. Little Monsters makes the plot of every David Lynch film look totally normal. This movie was suggested by the guest, Andrew Breen, who’s an amazing artist and a pop culture nerd like Dan & Manny. Little Monsters looks like a club Bill Hader’s SNL character Stefon would be partying at until everyone turns into a pile of clothes. This movie has everything, Fred Savage, Daniel Stern on the verge of murdering his whole family, the woman who owned The Cleveland Indians in Major League, and a monster named Snick, who’s a cigarette cross from between the girl who turned into a blueberry before she died in Willy Wonka and a broke down Meatloaf. Not to mention a PCP riddled Howie Mandal as Maurice the monster, who is an eleven-year-old/200-year-old blue lunatic getting children grounded, yelled at, and probably hit (hey, it’s the 80s).
So set your monster catching traps, make your peanut butter and onion sandwiches, make sure to check the apple juice before you drink it, and come hangout as we see if Little Monsters passes The Nostalgia Test.
