This week Jeff introduces Josue to the music of Frank Sinatra, exploring his classic album 'Classic Sinatra' which features his greatest performances from 1953 to 1960. They discuss their favorite tracks, the well-crafted lyrics and unique skills of Sinatra, and the cultural significance of his work. They also touch on the evolution of music and how Sinatra's style continues to influence artists today. But first, a quiz that tells us what kind of mobster Josue really is!

We hope you’ll listen to this iconic album and let us know in the comments if you think Classic Sinatra: His Greatest Performances 1953-1960 still holds up.

Grab your cardigan, put on your latex mask and hike up your tights, because this week we are revisiting the legendary Robin Williams as Mrs. Doubtfire! She’s a hip old granny who can hip-hop, be-bop, dance til you drop…and yo yo makes a wicked cup of cocoa. Lucky for us, she specializes in the education and entertainment of children AND adults alike, and she is surrounded by a solid cast that includes the illustrious Sally Fields and the smarmy charm of Pierce Brosnan.

Did we still love it as much as we thought we did? There is only one way to find out. Take a listen. And let us know in the comments if you think Mrs. Doubtfire still holds up.

There are a handful of characters that have a fast-pass on the road trip to your heart, and Goofy is one of the few. And now?! He just wants to be a good dad, his son Max wants to be a cool kid, and WE just wish somebody would communicate! Jeff has high hopes that Josue will enjoy this movie as fondly as he remembers it…and we hope you will too.

A Goofy Movie gave us so much to talk about, from voice acting and animation styles, to themes of growing up, family relationships, and the fear of becoming like our parents. But before all that, the tables turn as Josue quizzes Jeff on some memorable cartoon theme songs. Can you guess the answers before he does?

Let us know in the comments if you think ‘A Goofy Movie’ holds up, and if you have any other animated forms of nostalgia that you recommend.
