HAPPY MUMMY'S DAY!!
This week on Nostalgia Check presented by BJ in the Morning, we revisit the 1999 action-adventure classic The Mummy starring Brendan Fraser, Rachel Weisz and Arnold Vosloo.
From cursed tombs and flesh-eating scarabs to one-liners and chaotic CGI, we break down why this movie became such a massive favorite for an entire generation. Does it still hold up after all these years? Is Rick O’Connell one of the greatest action heroes ever? And just how many people definitely should NOT have opened that book?
We recap the movie, talk favorite scenes, roast the questionable visual effects, and decide if The Mummy passes the Nostalgia Check.

What happens when you trap humanity on a never-ending train and let class warfare explode? Yeah… we just found out.
On this episode of NOSTALGIA TEST by BJ in the Morning, we watch Snowpiercer for the very first time… and let’s just say this movie does NOT go where we expected.
Set in a frozen future where the last survivors live on a constantly moving train, society is divided from the filthy tail section to the luxury front cars and one guy decides it’s time to fight his way forward.  
We break down:
Our first reactions (and confusion)
The wild tonal shifts 
That ending…
Whether this movie actually works or is just chaos on rails
Is this a hidden sci-fi classic… or just a weird experiment that somehow got greenlit?
Welcome to BJ in the Morning  where nostalgia gets tested and first-time watches get REAL.

In this episode of Nostalgia Check, we finally watch Spirited Away (2001) for the very first time and yeah, we were not prepared for this.

Directed by Hayao Miyazaki and brought to life by Studio Ghibli, this legendary film has been called one of the greatest animated movies ever made so we had to see if it lived up to the hype.

We go in completely fresh and break down:
 • Our raw first reactions (confusion included)
 • The wildest moments that caught us off guard
 • Characters like No-Face and Yubaba - what is going on??
 • Plot breakdown from a first-time viewer perspective
 • IMDb and Letterboxd reviews
 • Does it deserve the “masterpiece” label?

This isn’t a polished expert analysis this is what it’s like watching Spirited Away with zero context in 2026.

If you’ve seen it, relive that first-watch feeling with us. If you haven’t, maybe watch first. Or don’t. Honestly, we didn’t.

We wrap up with our final scores and what’s coming next on the wheel.

Welcome back to Nostalgia Check presented by BJ in the Morning.
This week, we’re heading back to 2001 to revisit one of the most iconic animated movies of all time… Shrek.
Joined by special guest Mac from fit.w.mac, we break down everything from our first experiences with the film to how it holds up today. We dive into the cast, the legendary voice performances, behind-the-scenes details, and what made Shrek such a game-changer for animation and pop culture.
Of course, we couldn’t stop there. Mac joins us for a Shrek-themed game that quickly spirals out of control… and let’s just say Juan is NOT a fan.
In this episode:
Our updated thoughts on Shrek (2001)
Cast and production highlights
IMDb and Letterboxd reviews
Full plot breakdown with commentary
Final scores and rankings
A chaotic Shrek game featuring Mac (and Juan’s downfall)
Whether you grew up quoting this movie or you’re revisiting it for the first time, this episode is packed with laughs, nostalgia, and maybe a little bit of swamp energy.

Don’t forget to like, comment, and subscribe for more movie reviews, rewatches, and weekly chaos.
