Rate ShowOne of the best nostalgia pods
You know you have found something good when the hosts sound like you and your friends discussing these topics. The guys bring great energy and enthusiasm for every topic and they always blend funny personal anecdotes with factual historical details.
And they truly keep politics out of it which I really appreciate.
Thanks guys!

New Favorite Podcast
I fell down a rabbit hole with the Top Gun Soundtrack pod which led me to the Top Gun movie pod, the Maverick pod and from there I could not stop listening to these guys. I’m a music and movie trivia fan and the cadence and chemistry is awesome. I love how the music is laced into the movie pods as well. Keep em coming please! And maybe catch Point Break one day!

So good podcast!
I love this podcast! These two guys make it feel like they’re talking directly to me about the music and entertainment I grew up with. They bring back so many great memories, and their conversations are fun and easy to listen to. It’s like hanging out with old friends who love the same songs and stories from our generation!

Karate Kid vs Last Dragon
Great episode with some pleasant insight that a self proclaimed super fan of both films did not know this episode is something many of my friends have argued over which film is better both are great and iconic.

Creed vs Nickleback
I enjoyed the Nickleback vs Creed episodes. You guys hit all the highs and lows of both bands. I owned both debut albums and thought both had potential but was disappointed with their subsequent offerings. I like Creed more but agree that Stapp got too full of himself.

Taking Us Back in Time
I’ve been bouncing around various episodes in your feed and it brings me back to a place and time that I cherish and miss deeply.
I was along with the Rolling Stone bashing Creed. That was undeserved.
Those lyrics are amazing and hit me hard today during a workout.
We grew up together, gentlemen. I welcomed my kits with arms wide open.
We can heal through bringing us back to those times.
We were so much more unified in that culture. May we bring it back. Take us higher.
Thank you for what you are doing.

This is the real deal
Anybody can claim to know a lot about 80’s and 90’s pop culture, but these guys really know what’s up. Whether tearing apart the inexcusable (Superman IV, Jaws 3D), praising the undeniable (Heartbreak City), or pitting the titans against one another (Raiders vs. Back to the Future) rest assured you’re getting the results of a meticulous deep dive on the subject matter. You will NOT be disappointed.

Great White
I love the Great White episode. Took me back to the 80’s, before marriage, kids, and wokeness. Thanks for picking great topics to discuss on your podcast.

This is a must listen every week
Pros : great research, great topics, great lists and great energy between the hosts. These guys really do the leg work behind the show and teach me so much that I did not know. They’re also funny and the production value is to notch
Cons: I wish I had discovered them earlier as they could have been bringing joy to my ears a few years earlier.

A most excellent journey through my childhood, teenage, and college years.
Due to my job, I travel a lot, and as a result, I listen to a lot of podcasts. A few become favorites, but only one has become an absolute must-listen every week: Surely You Can’t Be Serious. It is an absolute blast every week to listen to Jason and Dee explore all the best in ‘70s, ‘80s, and ‘90s pop culture. Every episode is full of fun facts and obscure trivia that enrich the overall experience. The hosts themselves are obviously friends, and the show has such an easy, conversational tone that it’s easy to imagine yourself sitting at the local watering hole with them, debating the best Toto song. If podcasts were mountain ranges, SYCBS would be a Mt. Everest, with a few others reaching the heights of a Kilimanjaro and the rest left standing glumly on the Serengeti plains, hoping they themselves will one day reach those heights. Here’s to many more years of this fantastic podcast!

Great listen
This is some much needed high quality Gen X content from my peers. But how dare you make me tear up at that Anne Murray song? No seriously I really loved the 1978 songs episode. Keep up the good work.

Cars
Good job on the cars episode! The Maximum Overdrive truck and the Lone Wolf McQuade Supercharger were spot on!

Podcasts don’t get better than this!
A must listen every week. Jason and Dee are smart, funny, and always prepared. They tell stories that make you learn more than you ever thought possible about the best of the 80s and 90s.

My favorite podcast!
Hey guys, I always enjoy the content you put out and look forward every week to the next episode. Keep it up! My favorite episodes are when you compare movies with one another.
Total Recall (1990) vs Starship Troopers (1997) would be a great one! They're both Verhoeven classics!

Long Cold Winter
Thanks for allowing me to sit in this episode. I enjoyed meeting Jason and talking great 80’s music with him and Dee. This album brought back a lot of memories from that time period! Good show guys! Keep up the good work!

Canadian Rock
When you broach the Canadian rock band genre listen to Triumph, April Wine, and Rush! They are three of my all time favorite bands.

Great Show
Vivid was a very good album. It sounded different than other albums released around that time. I enjoyed this podcast very much.
