125. 💃🏻🕺🏽Nostalgia Test Mini: 90s Swing Dance Resurgence

Dan & Manny discuss whether the 1990s swing dance revival deserves the full Nostalgia Test Podcast treatment. They talk about various aspects of the swing era, its origins, the movies Swing Kids and Swingers, listening to swing dance revival bands like Big Bad Voodoo Daddy, Squirrel Nut Zippers, and Brian Setzer Orchestra, the cultural impact this revival had and if it could make a second a comeback in the 90s obsessed world we’re living in right now, and so much more!
