Listen "Nostalgia & Dread"
Episode Synopsis
Sharing one role on a popular 90s sitcom, lovable twins MK + A rose to stardom before they could even talk. Now, 30 years on, 'You're Invited' to their first public appearance in a decade. In front of a live studio audience, MK + A navigate a crash course down memory lane of their famous fictional childhoods. Part illustrated audio concert, part psychological thriller, MK + A Rewatch Podcast asks: What dark realities lurk beneath our tendencies towards fandom and our hunger for nostalgia? The creators of Dora's Gently Used Dreams Store and Auntieland combine the digital tools of modern content creators with physical theater virtuosity to generate an absurd and stinging dive into the lucrative business of remakes, reboots and rewatches.
