Welcome to Camp Wayback

The past isn’t dead. It’s just been waiting for us to come back.

Welcome to Camp Wayback — the podcast where three lifelong friends punch their ticket back to the movies, toys, TV shows, music, pop culture, and gloriously questionable decisions that made growing up in the ’80s and ’90s unforgettable.

This isn’t a history lesson. It’s a campfire conversation.

Every episode, we head back to a time when Friday night meant wandering the video store, Saturday morning meant cartoons, action figures ruled the toy aisle, movie stars felt larger than life, and discovering something awesome usually came from a friend saying, “Dude…you HAVE to see this.”

We’ll revisit the movies we wore out on VHS. The toys we begged our parents for. The characters we wanted to be. The songs we still know every word to. The forgotten gems we refuse to let die. And every once in a while, we’ll ask the dangerous question:

Was this stuff actually as awesome as we remember?

Expect ridiculous debates, brutally honest opinions, personal stories, deep dives, forgotten memories, plenty of laughs, and three grown men proving that apparently there is no age limit on arguing about 1980s movies and action figures.

But Camp Wayback is about more than nostalgia.

It’s about why this stuff still matters.

Why a movie can instantly take you back to being 12 years old. Why seeing an old toy on a shelf can unlock a memory you haven't thought about in 30 years. Why the things we loved growing up somehow became part of who we are today.

So grab a seat by the fire.

Crack open something cold.

And leave adulthood back at the cabin.

Welcome to Camp Wayback.

You’ve been here before.

    Three Nerds. Three Movies. One Decade. The Ultimate ’80s Draft of 2026.
    Sep 5 2026

    Welcome to Camp Wayback—where the campfire is always burning, the VHS tapes are always rewound, and growing up is completely optional.

    For our very first episode, we’re settling one of the most important questions imaginable: If you could build the ultimate ’80s movie using characters from ANY movie of the decade… who would you draft?

    We’re assembling our dream movies one pick at a time, drafting the hero, leading lady, villain, mentor, and sidekickfrom the greatest decade in movie history. From action icons and horror legends to teenage heroes, martial arts villains, lovable weirdos, and characters who have absolutely no business appearing in the same movie together, nobody from the 1980s is off limits.

    And once the draft is over? We have to figure out what kind of ridiculous movie we just created.

    So grab a seat around the fire and play along with us. Who would YOU draft to create the Ultimate ’80s Movie?

    Welcome to Camp Wayback.

    The movies may be over…but we never really left.

    Send More Paramedics! Our Look Back at Return of the Living Dead w/ More Punks, Zombies & BRAINS!
    Sep 5 2026

    This week, Camp Wayback is cracking open the canisters, cranking up the punk rock, and making one very important discovery: BRAINS!

    Mookie, Crawdaddy, and the Big Red Machine head back to 1985 for Return of the Living Dead, the gloriously unhinged horror-comedy that gave us talking zombies, Trioxin 245, one unforgettable cemetery party, and an entirely new reason to be terrified of the words “send more paramedics.” But beneath all the gore, laughs, and Linnea Quigley, is a movie that helped redefine the zombie genre and became one of the most beloved cult classics of the entire decade.

    We’re breaking down everything that makes Return of the Living Dead such a perfect slice of ’80s horror—the incredible soundtrack, the punk-rock attitude, the practical effects, the endlessly quotable characters, the surprisingly bleak ending, and why these zombies might still be some of the most terrifying ever put on film.

    So barricade the doors, stay away from Uneeda Medical Supply, and whatever you do… DON’T BURN THE BODY.

    🔥 Welcome back to Camp Wayback—where the fire is always burning, the movies are always rewinding, and apparently the dead don’t stay dead.
