In Episode 5, the Bastards fire up the time machine for a trip down pop culture memory lane with “Whatever Happened To…?" Romi and Sean dig into the stars, shows, and films that once ruled nerd culture — and then suddenly vanished from the spotlight. From Josh Hartnett’s mysterious fade-out and Brendan Fraser’s long-awaited comeback, to Mischa Barton’s rise and retreat, they revisit the highs, lows, and “what ifs” of the early 2000s. Plus, they unpack the legacy of once-hyped phenomena like Heroes, Smallville, The Matrix, and Napoleon Dynamite. It’s nostalgia, nerd history, and a few existential questions — all Bastard-approved.
