The Nostalgia Effect
by The Nostalgia Effect
Amy, Johnny, and Joe waste a lot of time at work talking about movies they barely remember from their childhoods. After a stern talking to by management (and because they were so witty, charming, and entertaining) their conversations are now being recorded so that they might live on forever. And in reviewing these old favorites from years past, they struggle to answer for their childhood cinematic taste—were these films good, bad, or were those kids just too dumb to notice?
