    • Nostalgia Unplugged:
      Jan 30 2026

      🎙️ Couch Critics sits down with Pork Chop Pete (@PorkchopPete) for a nostalgia-soaked, pop-culture love letter to the movies, shows, and memories that shaped us.

      Josh and Dave dig into Pete’s origin story—how family, personal history, and a whole lot of heart turned nostalgic movie love into a thriving content-creation community. From the pandemic-era explosion of retro content to the power of positivity online, this episode explores why looking back feels so damn good right now.

      Things get deeply nostalgic as the conversation turns to cult classics, forgotten gems, and the emotional pull of 80s and 90s films—especially the beautifully unhinged brilliance of Better Off Dead. Expect passionate takes, iconic quotes (“I want my $2!”), lightning-round chaos, comfort-movie confessions, and a full-on celebration of the actors, soundtracks, and scenes that live rent-free in our brains.

      Pete opens up about balancing authenticity vs. performance, pivoting content based on audience feedback, the challenge of short-form vs. long-form creation, and why food, movies, and nostalgia will always bring people together.

      If you love classic films, pop culture deep dives, and creators who genuinely love what they do, this episode is pure comfort viewing—like rewinding your favorite VHS and letting it play.

      🎬 Topics include:

      • The rise of nostalgia-driven content
      • Cult classics & forgotten films
      • Why Better Off Dead still hits
      • Audience engagement & creator evolution
      • Comfort movies, iconic quotes, and childhood favorites
      • Rapid-fire movie hot takes

      💬 Memorable moments:

      “I want my $2!”

      “I love Monique.”

      “I want that car!”
