Hello! We’re Ream and Patrick from THE NOSTALGIC FRONT PODCAST (or THE GHOSTALGIC FRIGHT PODCAST)! On Mondays we sit down with comedian guests (like Myq Kaplan, Kate Willett, Shane Torres, or Yedoye Travis) and talk about the best parts of growing up in the 1980s, 1990s and 2000s (Note: this is the one time I will permit mention of the 2000s on here, at least until a few years from now -1999 cutoff John). Things like movies, TV, games, junk food and cartoons. You know, forgotten things. Then, every Thursday we do a Fun Size episode where we do a deep dive (kinda) into a specific topic from growing up. This can be anything, from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles to Cereal to TGIF.
After nearly three years, the topic of spooky stuff has come up a lot, so to get ready for Halloween this week, our friends at 80s Baby have let us share our nine favorite Fun Size episodes about Halloween (and spooky stuff)! Please enjoy, and check out Fun Size #128 where we talk all about the Halloween film franchise, which comes out Halloween day (this Thursday, October 31st).
