Purely Nostalgia

A sudden and tragic loss brings us back for a somber bonus episode to discuss Space Jam: A New Legacy. In this one, Lebron James.

Long ago, two boys bravely decided to start a podcast about Spy Kids. The idea eventually morphed into the idea you now know as Purely Nostalgia. Three years later for their series finale, rather than talk about one of the many movies they intended to get to but never did, they decided to just watch Spy Kids again. In this one, we’re done. Make sure to follow us to keep up with our future endeavors! Twitter: @elishapsmith and @ClintJHPage TikTok: @misterwallet and @theclontman YouTube: Dad’s Lunch Money

What have the Kung Fu Panda movies been missing this whole time? Pandas. I mean, there’s the one panda, sure. But what if there was a whole bunch of them? Kung Fu Panda 3 fixes this problem. In this one, we tie up some loose ends.

We’ve established that pandas can do Kung Fu, but can they achieve inner peace? That’s the big question that Kung Fu Panda 2 is concerned with. Also, did you know that gun powder was invented by peacocks? In this one, we make a pretty big announcement (make sure and listen to the end).

Is it Bear Month once again? Nope! There’s only one bear that we care about for these next three episodes, and his name is Po. Our good pal Josh Alexander once again joins us to kick off our journey through the Kung Fu Panda trilogy and to help us answer some important questions such as: who is better, Master Oogway or Master Yoda? What is Jack Black’s best performance? And should Clint watch Naruto? In this one, a Kung Fu does Panda.

You’re a wizard, Harry (Osborne)! The streaming wars have once again reignited, but we have taken cover in a nearby Hulu Hole to bring you a passionate discussion about Sam Raimi’s 2013 film Oz the Great and Powerful. In this one, Clint had to rotate his iPad.

In the series finale of podcast maxiseries Live and Let Cry, Cody Lunsford of Best Pictures makes one last attempt to make Eli Smith of Purely Nostalgia cry. Desperate times call for desperate measures, so Cody has employed his secret weapon: anime. Will Studio Ghibli's bleak war drama Grave of the Fireflies finally squeeze a tear out of old Dry Eyes? Is it a bummer when children die? And most importantly, what have we learned from this experiment? We'll answer all these questions in this final episode of Live and Let Cry.

We regret to inform you that we have returned to Oz. And folks, things aren’t lookin’ great there! But the good new is, they have TikTok now. In this one, Gump.

For the first time ever, Purely Nostalgia is brought to you in beautiful technicolor! We’re here to talk about the second movie ever made (the first one was that train movie), The Wizard of Oz! In this one, we are scared of tornadoes.

In this eighth episode of podcast maxiseries Live and Let Cry, Cody Lunsford of Best Pictures has not given up trying to make Eli Smith of Purely Nostalgia cry. Cody's Best Pictures co-host Chad Oliver joins to talk about his choice, the 1979 divorce drama Kramer vs. Kramer. How similar is this movie to Marriage Story? What's up with that french toast scene? Does Doctor Doom have a twitter account? All these questions and more will be answered in this episode of Live and Let Cry! Episodes of Live and Let Cry will release on both Purely Nostalgia and Best Pictures monthly!

You may have heard the news that Sharkboy and Lavagirl have a child. And you, like us, may have been concerned if you saw in the tabloids that both Sharkboy and Lavagirl have maintained ownership of their separate homes in the ocean and a volcano, respectively. Please rest assured: Sharkboy and Lavagirl are still married to each other and did NOT have a child out of wedlock. This episode is about We Can Be Heroes. In this one, they can be heroes.

It’s the second annual Nostalgia Awards! As we move beyond the bad year 2020 into the good and perfect year 2021, we take a look back at the films we covered on the show in the past twelve months. In this one, we are not cowards like the Academy.

In this seventh episode of podcast maxiseries Live and Let Cry, Cody Lunsford of Best Pictures tries to make Eli Smith of Purely Nostalgia cry once again…. Christmas style.

Early episode alert! We decided to drop this one on Shrimpmas Eve so that you don’t have to listen to a podcast about A Charlie Brown Shrimpmas on December 30th. You’re welcome! In this one, Merry Shrimpmas!

Kevin McCallister who? It’s all about Alex Pruitt now, baby! In this episode we’re discussing the famed prequel to Max Keeble’s Big Move, Home Alone 3. And unfortunately, Krystal is involved. In this one, 2020 is the year of Raja Gosnell.

As #BearMonth2020 comes to a close, we are talking about the 2002 film The Country Bears, which is based on an animatronic stage show at Disney World. Out of all the movies we covered during #BearMonth2020, this one has the most bears in it. If that matters to you. In this one, Clint is Clonging.

In this sixth episode of podcast maxiseries Live and Let Cry, Cody Lunsford of Best Pictures tries to make tears roll down Eli Smith’s cheeks once again. This time, the movie was picked by Purely Nostalgia co-host Clint Page, who went with the animated Disney animated classic The Fox and the Hound. Is this movie more similar to The Prince of Egypt or Brokeback Mountain? Do kids care about bugs? What DOES the fox say? Tune in to hear the answers to these important questions! Episodes of Live and Let Cry will premiere on both Purely Nostalgia and Best Pictures monthly!

For the second installment of #BearMonth2020, we are talking about a movie that dares to ask the question: what if a bear had a brother? It’s Brother Bear, the movie where the Joker is a bear. In this one, it’s Pre-Punch Rick.

In the first episode of #BearMonth2020, we're talking about the nicest bear of them all: Paddington. Be nice like Paddington. In this one, it's a fur cop!

In this fifth episode of podcast maxiseries Live and Let Cry, Cody Lunsford of Best Pictures tries to make Eli Smith cry by watching the 2006 film The Pursuit of Happyness. Is a movie that is ostensibly about happiness a good choice for a podcast about crying? Does Will Smith have any great movies? What's the deal with Rubik's Cubes? For answers to all of these important questions, hit that play button! Episodes of Live and Let Cry will premiere on both Purely Nostalgia and Best Pictures monthly!
