So sit back and strap in boppers, because we're going back to the 1940s to see if this Nazi punching adventure holds up!

This week we finally tackle some hard hitting questions, such as which one is Akira? Why is a Akira walking to his motorcycle so iconic? Are we all Akira? And finally, does Akira hold up?
This week we're travelling back to an era in which Kenan & Kel were a duo and we're bringing Rock Solid's Kyle Dodson with us! So join us as we talk about Abe Vigoda, Sinbad, and Dan Schneider as we get to the bottom of whether or not Good Burger holds up!
