About this episode

The episode explores the complexities of nostalgia and its impact on society.

Is Nostalgia good or bad? Has it become too powerful? Why are we obsessed with what was? When is a remake a worthy remake? Annabel mostly asks questions that neither Ian nor Annabel can answer. One thing we can agree on, Nostalgia has some serious Perception Issues.
