On this Nostalgia Test Mini episode, Dan, Manny, & Billy spin The Wheel of Pauly Shore to see which Pauly Shore movie they’ll be putting to the ultimate test—THE NOSTALGIA TEST!

“I watched [Son in Law and] I was like, how the fuck did they let this man make movies?” -Billy D’Elia

This Mini Nostalgia Test episode spins out of control (no pun intended) way before the guys even spin The Wheel of Pauly Shore. After the Son in Law episode, Dan & Manny were curious if any of the other Pauly Shore movies could even be nostalgic, so here we are. Will it be:

In The Army Now
Jury Duty
Encino Man
Bio-Dome

They get Billy’s reactions of Son in Law even though he missed the episode, they talk about Brendan Fraser saving Encino Man and how it’s way more his movie than Pauly Shore, and Dan reminds everyone that Bad Bunny was the best part of Happy Gilmore 2, much like he was the best part of The Super Bowl, that’s right, he was! Deal with it!!!

So, grab your longtime friends, grab a drink or three, and place your bets on which movie the wheel will land on.
