80s Toy Bracket Extravaganza!

This week we welcome in resident bracketologist Drinks w/ Ron to break down sixteen of the 80s most memorable toys! That’s right. Everything from He-Man & Thundercats to Cabbage Patch Kids & Teddy Ruxpin. What will these three nostalgics vote as the best toy of the 1980s??

And if you enjoy what we are doing here at the Pit and would like to support us further, please check us out our patreon, where we have an entire exclusive podcast coming out soon! That’s right, the extended episodes are leaving, but you’ll still get content early as well as exclusive access to rewatches and bonus podcasts.


Today on the final extended Patreon edition, we tease what the new podcast is, as well as the future of Rob’s new podcast The Franchise Doctors, out streaming everywhere. All that, and a bag of chips.

About the Podcast

The Nostalgia Pit
FKA: Ruining Your Childhood - The Pitfalls of Nostalgia
The Nostalgia Pit is a podcast aiming to dissect pop culture, the subconscious, and other psychological phenomena through a hyperbolic and prismatic lens. Hosted by Rob Snow and Colin Casserd, the Nostalgia Pit is available anywhere you find your podcasts.

Nostalgia is so often thought of as something great from our childhood... But this psychological pitfall can sometimes have massive effects on our decision making. Our goal here is to discuss these areas where morals and ethics blur and the warm feelings of childhood take over. Oh, and to talk some shit...
