Join Esther, Aoife and Neil as they mock, ridicule and (occasionally) praise the classic nostalgic TV shows of their long-long-ago youth. Seriously, why does everything hurt now?

    Round The Twist

    After a ridiculously long medically-induced hiatus, the NTWICN team are back, restored to health and tackling Round The Twist, one of the weirdest things to ever come out of Australia. Pervy ghosts, golden showers and creepy Santa Clauses await. Our theme song is 'Around The Corner (and down a bit)' by Matt Oakley. Incidental music this episode was 'Running Through The Forest' by Doug Maxwell/Media Right Productions. Say hi to us at nowthatswhaticallnostalgia@gmail.com or at @ntwicn_podcast on Instagram!

    ReBoot

    We're back! We dodged angry seagulls, suffocating heat, and flying purple GameCubes to bring you our discussion of ReBoot, a show that dared to ask, 'What if we made a CGI TV show even though the tech is absolutely not ready because it's 1994?' Our theme song is 'Around The Corner (and down a bit)' by Matt Oakley. Incidental music this episode was 'Street Thumpin' by John Bartmann. Say hi to us at nowthatswhaticallnostalgia@gmail.com or at @ntwicn_podcast on Instagram!

    Episode 12: The Legend of Prince Valiant

    We promised it, and here it is! We're finally discussing The Legend of Prince Valiant. Modesty fish, chastity dinosaurs, security hawks, a strictly rationed quota of magic, and men with bare, muscular legs: this show had it all. Except maybe good animation. Our theme song is 'Around The Corner (and down a bit)' by Matt Oakley. Incidental music this episode was 'Claim of Thrones' by RKVC.

    Episode 11: Johnson And Friends

    Listen, we know we promised you Prince Valiant, but due to a scheduling issue we ended up watching Australian import Johnson And Friends instead, which is extremly apt because it was always one of those shows you watched when the thing you actually wanted to watch was unavailable. We try desperately to find something positive to say about it, while Aoife has a minor breakdown caused by the Wiggles, or maybe it's not the Wiggles, she's not sure. Our theme song is 'Around The Corner (and down a bit)' by Matt Oakley. No incidental music this episode because Esther couldn't face looking for stock music that had the same vibe as the Johnson theme tune.

    Episode 10: Once Upon a Time… Life

    Today we revisit beloved French edutainment classic Once Upon a Time… Life, a show which taught us all we know about the human body before taking an unexpected pivot into... space eugenics? We're kidding about it teaching us all we know about the human body (some of us went on to read The Usborne Book of the Body, we'll have you know), but we are ABSOLUTELY not kidding about the space eugenics. It is WILD. Our theme song is 'Around The Corner (and down a bit)' by Matt Oakley.

    Episode 9: Mighty Morphin Power Rangers

    Today we take on Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, a cultural behemoth that dared to ask the question, "What if instead of going to the bother of making a TV show, we just stitched together a bunch of clips from a random Japanese series and five minutes of some greasy teens doing gymnastics in a park?" We also do a lot of yelling about palaeontology and glutes. Our theme song is 'Around The Corner (and down a bit)' by Matt Oakley. Incidental music this episode was 'Claim of Thrones' by RKVC.

    Episode 8: The Trap Door

    Today we revisit The Trap Door, a British classic that took on the world with little more than a delightful theme song, an incredibly small production team, and an industrial quantity of plasticine. We also talked about cereal a lot. Like... a LOT. Like the show? Tell your friends! Rate and review! Say hi to us at nowthatswhaticallnostalgia@gmail.com or @ntwicn_podcast on Instagram! Our theme song is 'Around The Corner (and down a bit)' by Matt Oakley on the Free Music Archive. Incidental music this episode was 'Halloween Theremin Fun' by Greg Kirkelie on the Free Music Archive.
