BONUS - Space Jam: A New Legacy

Long ago, two boys bravely decided to start a podcast about Spy Kids. The idea eventually morphed into the idea you now know as Purely Nostalgia. Three years later for their series finale, rather than talk about one of the many movies they intended to get to but never did, they decided to just watch Spy Kids again.
In this one, we’re done.

Spy Kids Revisited

What have the Kung Fu Panda movies been missing this whole time? Pandas. I mean, there’s the one panda, sure. But what if there was a whole bunch of them? Kung Fu Panda 3 fixes this problem.
In this one, we tie up some loose ends.

Kung Fu Panda 3

We’ve established that pandas can do Kung Fu, but can they achieve inner peace? That’s the big question that Kung Fu Panda 2 is concerned with. Also, did you know that gun powder was invented by peacocks?
In this one, we make a pretty big announcement (make sure and listen to the end).

Kung Fu Panda 2

Is it Bear Month once again? Nope! There’s only one bear that we care about for these next three episodes, and his name is Po. Our good pal Josh Alexander once again joins us to kick off our journey through the Kung Fu Panda trilogy and to help us answer some important questions such as: who is better, Master Oogway or Master Yoda? What is Jack Black’s best performance? And should Clint watch Naruto?
In this one, a Kung Fu does Panda.
