108. 🎸 Airheads (1994) w/ Longtime Friend Steve Herrera

The Nostalgia Test Podcast

Dan & Manny welcome back longtime friend & Nostalgia Test Podcast All-star Steve Herrera to put the 1994 comedy Airheads to the ultimate test—THE NOSTALGIA TEST!

If you love rock music, hilarious one-liners, the 90s, & a sophisticated reimagining of Die Hard, well, Airheads is none of these things! Steve put it perfectly when he said, “[Airheads] could have been a Mentos commercial.” The guys lose their minds talking about how Steve Buscemi doesn't belong in this movie, is Adam Sandler funny, the late 90s obsession with shots of actors in vents, how this is just a dumber version of Die Hard, issues of representation, imagery, & words in the movie, and so much more. Nostalgia Testers, this is a jam packed episode!
