Dan & Billy welcome Naomi Carmack, the host of Dope Nostalgia, to put Halloween Music Videos to the ultimate testâTHE NOSTALGIA TEST!
âOther people's kids are so creepy.â
-Naomi
This Spooky Season episode takes Dan, Billy, and their guest Naomi Carmack down a very weird music video path. 5-years ago, Dan & Manny put another five videos to the ultimate test, and so Dan had to really go searching for some real nostalgic gens this time. They dig into videos from The Backstreet Boys, the Ramones, Ozzy Osbourne, Rob Zombie, and DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince. Their spooky conversation covers everything from creepy children, Backstreet never really being gone, the power of Ozzyâs absolute insanity, low budget videos vs high budget videos, the Emo spirit of late-80s Ramones, and what exactly is Dragula? Also, they do a deep dive into the Will Smith video for âNightmare on my Streetâ and Dan points out the odd Winnie the Pooh bedtime getup that Will Smith is wearing in the video, and is that a shot of his underwear (watch the episode to see this still shot)? All this and more! So, grab your favorite goblins, pour yourself a big glass of something foggy, and get ready to jam out with your favorite nerds.
