Before The Dojo had a name and before the Nostalgia Wars started, there was this: the unreleased pilot episode that started it all.

In this raw and unfiltered recording, Joshua 2D and Eddie sit down for their very first session, an off the cuff debate between two iconic Nickelodeon classics: Doug and Rugrats. What began as a simple test of chemistry and concept would unknowingly become the foundation of The Back 2D Basics Show.

This is more than a lost episode. It’s a time capsule. A glimpse into the spark that ignited the B2DB journey.

• Recorded before the brand.

• Released as the final chapter.

Whether you’ve been here since day one or just stepped into The Dojo, thank you for keeping the nostalgia alive on your eternal quest to get Back 2D Basics.

Join Josh and Eddie as they delve into the 80s cult classic film ‘Rad’ on The Back 2D Basics Show.

This episode explores the film’s cultural impact, particularly on the BMX bike culture, and its underlying themes of chasing dreams and overcoming societal expectations.

We discuss the film’s production challenges, its unique focus on the bikes rather than the riders, and its surprising success in the home video market despite being a box office failure. We also touch on the film’s depiction of the 80s, from its iconic scenes and character names to its memorable soundtrack that keeps you in the vibe from start to finish.

In our conversation, we share personal stories influenced by the film, highlighting its enduring impact on our lives and its role as a nostalgic adventure of self-discovery. So, whether you’re a fellow Nostalgia Warrior or just a fan of 80s cinema, tune in for our deep dive into ‘Rad’.

Stay Nostalgic!
