Wall Street
This week on Nostalgia Nerds, we’re counting down our Top 5 Favorite 80s Nepo Babies, the famous offspring who were born with connections, celebrity parents, and a head start on the rest of us! Then we’re throwing it back to 1992, when Bill Clinton grabbed a saxophone on The Arsenio Hall Show and proved that even presidential campaigns needed a little jazz. And of course, we’re opening up our middle school journals for a double dose of nostalgia: one heartbreaking Valentine’s Day spent painfully single (because middle school romance was BRUTAL), and one of the GREATEST days of our childhood that cost us a whopping $10. Who needs fame and fortune when you’ve got ten bucks and a dream? 📓🎷💘

Dirty Dancing
This week on Nostalgia Nerds, we’re talking about our Top 5 Favorite 90s TV Couples who gave us unrealistic expectations about love. We’re also recapping our recent trip to 90s Con, where we got to relive the decade we will apparently never get over. And of course, we’re cracking open our childhood journals for some truly important historical documentation: our undying obsession with the absolute STUD that was Patrick Swayze and our desperate pleas to the universe for boyfriends. The longing was real, the standards were questionable, and the journals have receipts. 💕📓

Thriller
This week on Nostalgia Nerds, we’re getting into the Halloween spirit with our Top 5 Favorite 90s Horror Movies.

Wayne's World

Electric Youth
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
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
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!

It’s makeup, mayhem, and major crushes!
