Show & Tell: Cub Scouts - Please Buy My Popcorn 28.10.2026 25mWe’re going on a bear hunt, but I ain’t scared! In our third Show & Tell episode, Jino dusts off long-dormant memories and recounts his adventures as a Cub Scout! Tune in as we relive adventures of youth such as building and racing wooden cars, selling popcorn to strangers and also your uncle, and camping out deep in the Texas scrubland. Cub Scouts: It’s scouting for babies! Cool babies. Cool babies with knives!__________________________________________Hosted by Michael Keane, Jino Jang-Hansen, Victoria ChengProduced by MouseKnight StudiosEdited by Jino Jang-HansenMusic from WOW SoundSubscribe to our newsletter: https://www.patreon.com/cw/MouseKnightStudiosFollow Nostalgia Club: https://linktr.ee/nostalgiaclubpodcast Follow MouseKnight Studios: https://linktr.ee/mouseknightstudios Support us on Ko-fi: https://ko-fi.com/mouseknightstudios -
87. Hamtaro Conquers All With the Power of Ham-ship! 21.10.2026 1h 9mKush kush! Today we’re stepping out of our cages and embarking on adventures in the vast outside world, just like Hamtaro and his friends! Whether or not you’ve personally interacted with this Japanese multi-media franchise, you’ve surely got some positive associations with these tiny, adorable hamsters due to their large cultural impact. Michael watched a little bit of the anime as a kid, though he doesn’t remember much, while Jino and Victoria are first-time watchers. So we’ve consulted a wise expert, Victoria’s friend Mara, to be our guide through the anime series and books in the extended Hamtaro universe! Join us as we discuss the wide cast of characters (including some ham-hams with jobs!) who are PROPERLY bean-shaped and fulfill the perfect fantasy of adventures-your-pets-go-on-when-you’re-at-school.Follow along with Mara’s wonderfully crafted presentation: https://canva.link/l5yi3gjfwmfu7au Head to our Instagram to see our Ham-Ham OCs! __________________________________________Hosted by Michael Keane, Jino Jang-Hansen, Victoria ChengProduced by MouseKnight StudiosEdited by Jino Jang-HansenMusic from WOW SoundSubscribe to our newsletter: https://www.patreon.com/cw/MouseKnightStudiosFollow Nostalgia Club: https://linktr.ee/nostalgiaclubpodcast Follow MouseKnight Studios: https://linktr.ee/mouseknightstudios Support us on Ko-fi: https://ko-fi.com/mouseknightstudios__________________________________________00:00 Intro08:13 Our Vibes18:32 Forming the Ham-Ham Clubhouse24:40 Hamtaro Lost26:00 Oxnard’s Pure Heart27:58 Hamtaro’s Birthday35:12 Character Deep Dive50:47 Our Favorite Ham-Hams56:23 English vs. Japanese Opening Themes58:00 Other Hamtaro Media -
86. The Thea Sisters Can Do Anything, and They Do It Fabumousely 14.10.2026 1h 9mGot a problem you need solved? The Thea Sisters are on the case! Nicky, Colette, Violet, Pamela, and Paulina are some of the best and brightest of Mouseford Academy, a school that definitely has way more problems than it may seem on the outside. On today’s episode, we’re discussing three of their adventures: Thea Stilton and the Dragon’s Code, Drama at Mouseford, and Revenge of the Lizard Club. None of us have read these before, but it was so fun to dive back into the cheese-pun-filled world of Geronimo Stilton. If you like a solve-as-you-read mystery, or a graphic novel with lots of petty backstabbing, or a rewrite of Romeo and Juliet where the characters come from rival cheesemaking families, this series has everything you could possibly want, and more!__________________________________________Hosted by Michael Keane, Jino Jang-Hansen, Victoria ChengProduced by MouseKnight StudiosEdited by Victoria ChengMusic from WOW SoundSign up for our newsletter: https://www.patreon.com/cw/MouseKnightStudiosFollow Nostalgia Club: https://linktr.ee/nostalgiaclubpodcast Follow MouseKnight Studios: https://linktr.ee/mouseknightstudios Support us on Ko-fi: https://ko-fi.com/mouseknightstudios __________________________________________00:00 Intro06:59 The Character Names11:06 Our Vibes21:07 Thea Stilton Book #125:31 Drama at Mouseford40:52 Which character are we?44:06 Graphic Novels1:02:39 Final Thoughts -
Show & Tell: The Bronze Age Is My Roman Empire 07.10.2026 48mCalling all history buffs! In this second Show & Tell episode, Michael takes us on an exploration of some civilizations and cultures from The Bronze Age and how they’ve captured his attention over the years. If you recently watched Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey, or if you’ve been interested in this time period before it was cool, then this is for you! Turns out, people from thousands of years ago were just like us…they enjoyed good food, wrote love poems to say “You up?”, and sent each other passive-aggressive “emails” to ask for things they wanted.PowerPoint with the images discussed in this episode for visual reference: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1av1W3GUq5pvD5bIvWJsX1Cgv2GH0STRs/view?usp=sharing__________________________________________Hosted by Michael Keane, Jino Jang-Hansen, Victoria ChengProduced by MouseKnight StudiosEdited by Jino Jang-HansenMusic from WOW SoundSubscribe to our newsletter: https://www.patreon.com/cw/MouseKnightStudiosFollow Nostalgia Club: https://linktr.ee/nostalgiaclubpodcast Follow MouseKnight Studios: https://linktr.ee/mouseknightstudios Support us on Ko-fi: https://ko-fi.com/mouseknightstudios -
85. Important Lessons from Bridge to Terabithia 30.09.2026 1h 10mBanzai! Run away to the woods with us as we revisit Katherine Paterson’s award-winning novel, Bridge to Terabithia. If you read this as a kid, you probably remember it was emotionally devastating, and we’re here to report…it still is! Jino reread this book at least a hundred times as a kid, perhaps in an effort to keep characters alive within the pages. Michael avoided reading it until now because he heard it was sad (it is), but realized the story was not exactly how it had been described to him. Meanwhile, Victoria found this book and its real-life inspirations to be even more impactful as an adult. So join us as we discuss the brilliant character work, our favorite insightful conversations, and why it’s so important to let kids safely wrestle with difficult topics.__________________________________________Hosted by Michael Keane, Jino Jang-Hansen, Victoria ChengProduced by MouseKnight StudiosEdited by Victoria ChengMusic from WOW SoundSign up for our newsletter: https://www.patreon.com/cw/MouseKnightStudiosFollow Nostalgia Club: https://linktr.ee/nostalgiaclubpodcast Follow MouseKnight Studios: https://linktr.ee/mouseknightstudios Support us on Ko-fi: https://ko-fi.com/mouseknightstudios __________________________________________00:00 Intro & Vibes09:42 Author’s Inspiration13:26 Plot Summary18:18 Loneliness and Escapism29:53 Manic Pixie Dream Girl?37:00 Wrestling with Guilt41:06 Finding Closure47:34 How to Talk About Death53:02 Setting & Time Period55:25 Janice Avery57:59 References to Other Stories1:00:53 Final Thoughts -
84. Fairy Logic and Evil Bed Rotting in Sleeping Beauty 23.09.2026 1h 9mOnce upon a dream, you found yourself listening to a podcast about Sleeping Beauty! This classic 1959 Disney film’s stunning artwork and animation was foundational in Michael’s childhood. Victoria loved re-enacting scenes from this movie, particularly the most dramatic “death” reveal as both Maleficent and Aurora. Jino had not seen this movie before, but still found much to love in the whimsical fairytale. Tune in to hear our thoughts on the three meddlesome fairies who are the true main characters of the story, spin-offs and adaptations inspired by Sleeping Beauty, and bed rotting in the best, most evil way possible.__________________________________________Hosted by Michael Keane, Jino Jang-Hansen, Victoria ChengProduced by MouseKnight StudiosEdited by Jino Jang-HansenMusic from WOW SoundSubscribe to our newsletter: https://www.patreon.com/cw/MouseKnightStudiosFollow Nostalgia Club: https://linktr.ee/nostalgiaclubpodcast Follow MouseKnight Studios: https://linktr.ee/mouseknightstudios Support us on Ko-fi: https://ko-fi.com/mouseknightstudios__________________________________________00:00 Intro & Vibes12:56 Plot Summary24:48 Fairy Logic28:15 The Wine Scene31:48 Everyone Sleeps…Except Phillip40:37 The Final Battle53:20 Pink or Blue?54:55 Sequels and Modern Interpretations1:04:41 Final Thoughts -
83. Walking and Singing with The Fellowship of the Ring 16.09.2026 1h 39mThe road goes ever on and on…and at last it’s brought us to The Lord of the Rings trilogy! Today we’re talking about the first book: The Fellowship of the Ring by J.R.R. Tolkien. We’re all big fans of the series - Jino considers it his go-to cosy British fantasy story, Victoria read the books once in middle school and returns for new perspectives on this reread, while Michael is excited to read this for the first time after loving the movies. So grab your lembas and join us as we discuss how this series inspired us as artists, all the walking and singing that happens in this book, and “Ho! Tom Bombadil, Tom Bombadillo!”MENTIONED:Check out Candy Is Dandy: The Candy Review Podcast, hosted by Greg Gonzalez, Beto Sistos and Daniel Zafran, anywhere podcasts are found.__________________________________________Hosted by Michael Keane, Jino Jang-Hansen, Victoria ChengProduced by MouseKnight StudiosEdited by Victoria ChengMusic from WOW SoundSign up for our newsletter: https://www.patreon.com/cw/MouseKnightStudiosFollow Nostalgia Club: https://linktr.ee/nostalgiaclubpodcast Follow MouseKnight Studios: https://linktr.ee/mouseknightstudios Support us on Ko-fi: https://ko-fi.com/mouseknightstudios __________________________________________00:00 Intro04:51 Vibes & Backstory14:11 Plot Summary30:19 Threats to The Shire38:25 The Fellowship Falling Apart43:07 Dwarves and Elves45:15 Gollum47:47 Frodo Becoming an Adventurer52:39 Bilbo55:29 The Ring57:25 Other Members of the Company1:03:35 Food1:04:45 Moria1:07:54 Watching the Movies1:16:33 Related Personal Stories1:29:14 Favorite Domains of Middle Earth1:34:26 Favorite Behind-the-Scenes Facts -
Show & Tell: Mystic Messenger - This Dating Sim Took Over My Life 09.09.2026 32mWe’re starting a new series we call “Show & Tell” episodes, where each of us brings in a personal topic to share with the class. Today, Victoria dives into a Korean dating sim game called Mystic Messenger, known for its gameplay through chatrooms and phone calls that happen in real time. From characters with dark backstories, to storylines that were unexpectedly harrowing, there’s more than meets the eye when it comes to this game.Victoria’s Presentation for visual reference: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1ds7vk24f5tL24xu9m_y2Z440DGErwaiCjuxbwSVJyPI/edit?usp=sharing __________________________________________Hosted by Michael Keane, Jino Jang-Hansen, Victoria ChengProduced by MouseKnight StudiosEdited by Jino Jang-HansenMusic from WOW SoundSubscribe to our newsletter: https://www.patreon.com/cw/MouseKnightStudiosFollow Nostalgia Club: https://linktr.ee/nostalgiaclubpodcast Follow MouseKnight Studios: https://linktr.ee/mouseknightstudios Support us on Ko-fi: https://ko-fi.com/mouseknightstudios -
82. Yuri on Ice Deserves a Second Season - with special guest Michael Wilkins 02.09.2026 1h 21mIf you were on the Internet in 2016, then there’s a pretty high chance that you’ve heard of Yuri!!! on ICE. This sports anime focused on the relationship between Japanese figure skater Yuri Katsuki and Russian figure-skating champion Victor Nikiforov, and it took the world by storm due to, and in spite of, heavy visual censorship. Victoria watched this show as it was released and remembers all the fan theorizing fondly. Jino and Michael were surprised to find that the show did not match their preconceived notions, 10 years later. And today, we’re joined by returning special guest Michael Wilkins! So tighten up your skates, listener, and tune in as we discuss the not-so-subtle-in-hindsight romance, the wacky cast of side characters, and the pork cutlet bowl metaphor.__________________________________________Hosted by Michael Keane, Jino Jang-Hansen, Victoria ChengWith Michael WilkinsProduced by MouseKnight StudiosEdited by Victoria ChengMusic from WOW SoundSign up for our newsletter: https://www.patreon.com/cw/MouseKnightStudiosFollow Nostalgia Club: https://linktr.ee/nostalgiaclubpodcast Follow MouseKnight Studios: https://linktr.ee/mouseknightstudios Support us on Ko-fi: https://ko-fi.com/mouseknightstudios __________________________________________00:00 Intro04:34 Before & After Impressions10:04 Show Impact Then & Now17:14 Plot Summary25:32 Side Characters31:17 Animation Quality34:57 The Banquet38:05 Character Arcs44:47 Yuri’s Friends48:16 Pork Cutlet Bowl50:06 Sequels51:45 Heated Rivalry54:59 Would a Sequel be Good?58:05 The Ending1:00:08 Connections to Real Life1:05:31 Victor’s Personality1:14:52 Final Anecdotes -
81. The Girl Who Leapt Through Time (2006) - Can You Change an Inevitable Future? 26.08.2026 56mTime waits for no one… even if you have the power to time travel! On today’s episode, we’re talking about Mamoru Hosoda’s 2006 animated film: The Girl Who Leapt Through Time. Victoria discovered it by complete chance while procrastinating on homework one day and it quickly became one of her all-time favorite movies. Jino was surprised by how the protagonist Makoto tumbles and falls her way through the plot, while Michael loved revisiting the charm of 2000s era anime. Buckle in for some potential time leaps as we discuss vibes-based time travel logic and the bittersweet nostalgia of recalling a Summer you’ll never get back. __________________________________________Hosted by Michael Keane, Jino Jang-Hansen, Victoria ChengProduced by MouseKnight StudiosEdited by Jino Jang-HansenMusic from WOW SoundSubscribe to our newsletter: https://www.patreon.com/cw/MouseKnightStudiosFollow Nostalgia Club: https://linktr.ee/nostalgiaclubpodcast Follow MouseKnight Studios: https://linktr.ee/mouseknightstudios Support us on Ko-fi: https://ko-fi.com/mouseknightstudios__________________________________________00:00 Intro & Vibes07:44 Plot Summary27:49 Auntie Witch & Other Time Leap Films31:08 Mamoru Hosoda Films33:20 The Movie’s Charms35:36 Time Travel45:30 Final Takeaways48:21 Favorite Quotes & Moments -
80. Haikyuu!! The Dumpster Battle - The Power of Friendship Wins 19.08.2026 1h 22mWe’re back to the world of Haikyuu!! with the highly anticipated 2024 movie: The Dumpster Battle. This time, we also read the entire arc in the manga in order to get the full scope of the story. Victoria was excited to re-experience (cry about) this game for the third time from a more analytical lens. Jino appreciated the way the movie captured the frenetic energy of a real volleyball game, while Michael enjoyed getting a better understanding of Nekoma’s team. Tune in as we discuss the parallels between Karasuno and Nekoma, the things we wished had made the cut, and the most perfect ending to this fateful game. __________________________________________Hosted by Michael Keane, Jino Jang-Hansen, Victoria ChengProduced by MouseKnight StudiosEdited by Victoria ChengMusic from WOW SoundSign up for our newsletter: https://www.patreon.com/cw/MouseKnightStudiosFollow Nostalgia Club: https://linktr.ee/nostalgiaclubpodcast Follow MouseKnight Studios: https://linktr.ee/mouseknightstudios Support us on Ko-fi: https://ko-fi.com/mouseknightstudios __________________________________________00:00 Intro & Vibes12:18 Victoria’s Backstory19:27 Movie Pacing23:22 The Way the Game Ends35:21 Kenma and Hinata40:44 Kuroo and Kenma44:38 Notable Moments & Characters51:05 Nekoma’s Team Philosophy54:43 Random Fun Moments59:29 The Final Scene1:04:42 What Next?1:09:57 New Favorite Characters -
79. Poppy (by Avi) Is a Tiny Mouse In a Big, Big World 12.08.2026 1h 6mWe love rodent media here at Nostalgia Club and today we’re following the journey of a deer mouse named Poppy! This book by Avi captured our hearts and surprised us with its message about propaganda and living under a dictator. Victoria read this as a kid, but had almost forgotten about it until stumbling across the book cover. Jino and Michael are first time readers, and thus have many thoughts about the residents of Dimwood Forest, including the imperious owl Mr. Ocax, the grumpy porcupine Ereth (who’s definitely not a carnivore), and Poppy’s very irritating father.MENTIONED:Check out Victoria as Dorma the Dormouse in The Ballad of Puss & Boots: https://open.spotify.com/episode/6z7ew94oaiezCwkf50O6Ke __________________________________________Hosted by Michael Keane, Jino Jang-Hansen, Victoria ChengProduced by MouseKnight StudiosEdited by Victoria ChengMusic from WOW SoundSign up for our newsletter: https://www.patreon.com/cw/MouseKnightStudiosFollow Nostalgia Club: https://linktr.ee/nostalgiaclubpodcast Follow MouseKnight Studios: https://linktr.ee/mouseknightstudios Support us on Ko-fi: https://ko-fi.com/mouseknightstudios __________________________________________00:00 Intro11:23 The Mice Want to Move23:51 Journey to New House29:16 At New House39:39 Going Home41:40 Poppy and Ereth’s Friendship43:48 Proximity to Humans44:34 Political Messages48:22 Comparing Female Mouse Characters53:25 Favorite Quotes & Moments1:00:10 Illustrations -
Q&A: Our Dream Episode Topics, Hot Takes, and Hear Me Out Lists?? 05.08.2026 1h 14mOn this week’s episode, we’re doing something a little different with our very first Q&A! We asked you, our lovely listeners, what you wanted to know about us, and we got so many fun questions.

78. Ptolemy's Gate (Bartimaeus #3) Reduced Us to a Puddle of Tears and Goo 29.07.2026 1h 56mAt long last, we’ve come to the end of our journey through The Bartimaeus Sequence. With our reading of Ptolemy’s Gate by Jonathan Stroud the cycle of empire is complete! …Well, sort of. This book takes many turns, and those turns took us by storm! Jino absorbed the entire text in, like, a day, and Victoria remained deeply affected well after turning the final page. Michael had fun too. He really loved this one joke about certain death and soup. So join us one last time as we travel from the Other Place (our studio) to the summoning circle (your headphones) and discuss how the stories of Nathaniel, Kitty, and Bartimaeus conclude.__________________________________________Hosted by Michael Keane, Jino Jang-Hansen, Victoria ChengProduced by MouseKnight StudiosEdited by Victoria ChengMusic from WOW SoundSign up for our newsletter: https://www.patreon.com/cw/MouseKnightStudiosFollow Nostalgia Club: https://linktr.ee/nostalgiaclubpodcast Follow MouseKnight Studios: https://linktr.ee/mouseknightstudios Support us on Ko-fi: https://ko-fi.com/mouseknightstudios __________________________________________00:00 Intro03:57 Our Vibes11:13 The Prologue & Background Context16:30 Checking In with New/Old Characters33:16 Bartimaeus and Nathaniel41:37 Bartimaeus and Kitty49:44 Quentin Makepeace52:58 Bartimaeus Summoned Again58:12 Mandrake’s Crisis1:03:22 The Play (Coup)1:12:04 Nathaniel and Kitty’s Plan1:26:05 The Final Battle1:33:50 The Final Chapter1:39:35 Takeaways -
77. How Animorphs Teaches About the Horrors of War - with special guest Livi Dom 22.07.2026 2h 16mYou don’t wanna get yeerked! Today we are (finally) exploring the harrowing world of the Animorphs series by K.A. Applegate, just after its 30th anniversary. None of us ever dared to read these books as kids, so we invited the best expert we know to lead us on this journey: Livi Dom! She’s read all 62 books and she’s here to make sure we get all the facts straight, even if she needs to use thought-speak to do so. So hold onto your human brains, listener, and tune in as we discuss dark yet important themes of being a child soldier, gaining empathy for your enemy, and asking “would you love me if I was a worm?”Extra spoiler alert: This episode focuses primarily on Books 1, 2, 3, 19, and 29 but also features topics and lore from the extended Animorphs canon.__________________________________________Hosted by Michael Keane, Jino Jang-Hansen, Victoria ChengWith Livi Dom - https://www.instagram.com/dinolivi/ Produced by MouseKnight StudiosEdited by Victoria ChengMusic from WOW SoundSign up for our newsletter: https://www.patreon.com/cw/MouseKnightStudiosFollow Nostalgia Club: https://linktr.ee/nostalgiaclubpodcast Follow MouseKnight Studios: https://linktr.ee/mouseknightstudios Support us on Ko-fi: https://ko-fi.com/mouseknightstudios __________________________________________00:00 Intro03:20 Livi’s Background08:35 Vibes & First Impressions of the World19:39 Book 1: The Invasion32:50 Morphing Mechanics40:27 Where are the Andalites?43:20 Fandom, Adaptations, and Companion Books47:57 Taking Kids Seriously52:11 Book 19: The Departure1:09:57 Book 29: The Sickness1:31:00 Other Characters Who Morph1:37:51 Tobias1:41:57 Choose Your Bandit1:45:56 The Hork-Bajir Chronicles1:51:06 The Upcoming Adaptation1:54:11 Reading Guide2:01:31 Favorite Morphs & Characters2:08:00 Final Thoughts -

This episode will focus primarily on the first season of Pokémon: Indigo League, but we also meander to other aspects of the Pokémon world. Jino reminisces about improbable evolution playground rumors, Michael recalls the secret to getting two Feraligatrs in Pokémon Gold and Silver, and Victoria shares her favorite Ditto lore.

This one comes in the form of Despicable Me (2010), though according to Jino, the movie isn’t cursed so much as ~surrounded~ by cursed energy. Victoria knows this personally, and she shares her own deep lore cut from the banana-y cloth of the infamous minions! Also, Michael finally learns why Jino and Victoria pronounce “girls” as “gorls,” like, all the time. So prick up those ears, listeners! All hands to stations!

Join the School of Rock and Stick It to the Man - with special guest Mitra 11.02.2026 1h 26mWe pledge allegiance to the School of Rock, the 2003 movie that taught us that a little crime is fine as long as it inspires the kids. Joining us is Mitra, a professional Jack Black appreciator who basically has this whole thing memorized. She leads Victoria, Michael, and Jino in their analysis of these incredibly talented kids, their secretly sad substitute teacher, and a principal who really deserves a vacation.
