Dan & Manny welcome Emmy award winner, writer, & USC Alum, Eric Althoff to put the Jean-Claude Van Damme classic Street Fighter (1994) to the ultimate test--THE NOSTALGIA TEST!

We try to figure out who Street Fighter is for, how no one sets out to make a bad movie, Raul Julia, the absence of JCVD splits, quotable lines from the movie, Eric talks about an enlightening conversation he had with Judd Nelson, and so much more!
