Totally 80s and 90s Recall

Christmas in the ’80s and ’90s had a magic all its own—equal parts neon lights, tinsel overload, and the warm glow of TV specials you had to catch live, or you missed them for the whole season. It was the era of mall Santas, department-store catalogs thick enough to use as booster seats, and the unmistakable sound of wrapping paper tearing open to reveal toys that felt larger than life. From driving around to look at Christmas lights to recording holiday specials on VHS (complete with commercials), the season had a slower, cozier rhythm that today’s streaming-and-overnight-shipping world can’t quite replicate. In this episode, Dave, Rob, and their guest Ryan dive deep into what they loved—and what they genuinely miss—about Christmas back then. Each of them will share their Top 5 greatest Christmas gifts ever, along with the legendary ones they begged Santa for but never found under the tree. It’s nostalgia, joy, heartbreak, and holiday hilarity rolled into one festive conversation—perfect for anyone who still remembers the thrill of Cabbage Patch Kids, GI Joe, Tickle Me Elmo and circling toys in the Sears Wish Book or Toys R Us ad before tearing into a Nintendo-shaped box on Christmas morning.

This week on Totally 80’s and 90’s Recall, Dave, Rob, and Kurt kick off the Christmas season with a look back at Scrooged from 1988—a darkly funny and totally 80s reimagining of A Christmas Carol. Starring Bill Murray as Frank Cross, a cold-hearted TV executive who learns the true meaning of Christmas through a surreal series of ghostly visits, the movie blends sharp satire with slapstick chaos. The guys dive into Murray’s perfectly unhinged performance, the film’s biting take on holiday commercialism, and how director Richard Donner managed to balance heart and hilarity in a way that still hits decades later. From ghostly cab drivers to explosive TV specials gone wrong, Dave, Rob, and Kurt relive all the absurd moments that make Scrooged such a unique holiday staple. They also share behind-the-scenes trivia, favorite quotes, and their favorite moments in the movie. Whether you remember catching it in theaters or on VHS, this episode is a festive deep dive into one of the most delightfully twisted Christmas comedies of the 80s.

In this episode, Rob and Dave are taking it all the way back to the golden age of gaming — the 1980s — when the arcade was the place to be. From the flashing lights and 8-bit soundtracks of Pac-Man, Donkey Kong, and Galaga to the quarters lined up on the cabinet waiting for your turn, the arcade became a social hub where kids, teens, and even adults lost track of time chasing high scores. It was a decade when pixelated heroes ruled, and the simple thrill of joystick and button mashing created memories that still hold up today. Then came the revolution that brought the arcade experience home. The Atari 2600 laid the groundwork, but it was Nintendo’s NES that truly changed everything — reviving a struggling industry with icons like Super Mario Bros., The Legend of Zelda, and Metroid. Rob and Dave are joined by Dave’s childhood friend Dustin, who grew up right in the middle of it all, to share stories about blowing on cartridges, battling siblings for controller time, and discovering the magic of 8-bit adventure. It’s a nostalgic trip back to when gaming was simple, addictive, and full of wonder.

90s Adult Contemporary In the 1990s, while grunge was roaring from Seattle and hip-hop was taking over the charts, a smoother, more polished sound quietly thrived on radio stations and office CD players across America — Adult Contemporary. This was the music of big emotions, soft edges, and universal appeal. Artists like Celine Dion, Phil Collins, Michael Bolton, and Whitney Houston carried the torch for power ballads and lushly produced pop that spoke to love, loss, and life’s quieter moments. It was the soundtrack for carpool lines, candlelit dinners, and Sunday mornings — a genre that valued melody, warmth, and timeless sentiment over angst or attitude. Yet, in its own way, 90s Adult Contemporary was just as defining as its louder, cooler counterparts. It provided a refuge from the chaos of alternative rock and rap’s streetwise bravado — a reminder that sincerity and strong songwriting still had a place in mainstream music. Artists like Sheryl Crow, Richard Marx, and Amy Grant modernized the format, blending acoustic pop, light rock, and even touches of R&B into radio-friendly hits. It was the sound of balance in a decade of extremes — the music that bridged generations and proved that not every great song needed distortion or defiance to leave a lasting impression.

This week, Rob, Dave, and Kurt dive deep into one of the most haunting and visually striking films of the 1980s—Stanley Kubrick’s The Shining. Released in 1980 and based (loosely) on Stephen King’s novel, the film stars Jack Nicholson as Jack Torrance, a struggling writer who takes a job as the winter caretaker of the isolated Overlook Hotel. Alongside his wife Wendy (Shelley Duvall) and young son Danny (Danny Lloyd), Jack’s descent into madness unfolds through Kubrick’s signature slow-burn tension, eerie atmosphere, and unforgettable imagery—from the ghostly twins in the hallway to that chilling “Here’s Johnny!” moment. The crew explores how The Shining went beyond traditional horror to become a psychological masterpiece. They’ll dig into Kubrick’s meticulous direction, Nicholson’s unhinged performance, and the film’s enduring mysteries—from the Overlook’s sinister layout to the cryptic final photograph. Expect theories, trivia, and maybe even a few laughs as Rob, Dave, and Kurt revisit what many consider the ultimate blend of artistry and terror in 1980s cinema Pandora: https://pandora.app.link/iq8iShjXOLb Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/totally-80s-and-90s-recall/id1662282694 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/11dk5TUoLUk4euD1Te1EYG?si=b37496eb6e784408 Amazon Music: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/1960c8f9-158d-43ac-89a6-d868ea1fe077/totally-80s-and-90s-recall YouTube Podcasts: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLH9lGakNgCDZUkkHMUu88uXYMJu_33Rab&si=xo0EEVJRSwS68mWZ Contact Us: Website: https://totally80s90srecall.podbean.com/ Email: 80s90srecall@gmail.com LinkTree:https://linktr.ee/80s90srecall

This week on Totally 80’s and 90’s Recall, Dave, Rob, and Kurt are diving headfirst into the golden era of inspirational sports movies — the 1980s. From the underdog triumphs of Hoosiers and the blue-collar grit of Major League to the heartfelt magic of Field of Dreams, we’re revisiting the decade that turned locker room speeches and training montages into cinematic legend.

This week on Totally 80’s and 90’s Recall, Dave, Rob, and Kurt dive deep into the dark, rain-soaked world of 1995’s Se7en — David Fincher’s gritty psychological thriller that had audiences whispering “What’s in the box?!” for decades. Starring Brad Pitt and Morgan Freeman as detectives hunting a serial killer who uses the seven deadly sins as inspiration for his gruesome crimes, Se7en defined the decade’s darker turn in filmmaking. With its grim atmosphere, haunting visuals, and shocking finale, it remains one of the most disturbing — and influential — movies of the ’90s. But the big question is: does Se7en still hold up today? Dave will weigh in on whether the story’s tension and moral questions still grip audiences like they did in ’95, while Rob dissects the film’s visual style and how Fincher’s signature bleakness set the stage for modern thrillers. Meanwhile, Kurt — always the voice of psychological insight — will explore whether the film’s twisted themes make it timeless or just plain creepy in hindsight. Together, the trio will decide if Se7en deserves a spot among the decade’s masterpieces or if it’s better left sealed in that infamous box.

(What’s The Story) Morning Glory? - Oasis (1995) On this week’s episode of Totally 80’s and 90’s Recall, Dave and Rob are rewinding back to 1995 to celebrate the 30th anniversary of Oasis’ landmark album What’s the Story Morning Glory. Track by track, they’ll unpack the record that turned the Gallagher brothers from local Manchester heroes into worldwide rock icons. From the swaggering punch of “Roll With It” to the tender emotion of “Wonderwall” and the anthemic rise of “Don’t Look Back in Anger,” the guys will revisit the songs that defined Britpop and made Oasis the voice of a generation Of course, no Oasis deep dive is complete without talking about the band’s legacy and the Gallagher brothers themselves. Dave and Rob will weigh in on how Morning Glory cemented Oasis’ place in rock history, with its blend of stadium-ready choruses, Beatles-inspired melodies, and raw attitude. They’ll also highlight the brilliance and madness of Noel and Liam Gallagher—their creative spark, their infamous feuds, and the unpredictable energy that made Oasis larger than life both on and off the stage. And now, with the band reuniting in 2025 for a massive world tour after splitting in 2009, the timing couldn’t be better to reflect on just how much Oasis still matters Pandora: https://pandora.app.link/iq8iShjXOLb Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/totally-80s-and-90s-recall/id1662282694 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/11dk5TUoLUk4euD1Te1EYG?si=b37496eb6e784408 Amazon Music: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/1960c8f9-158d-43ac-89a6-d868ea1fe077/totally-80s-and-90s-recall YouTube Podcasts: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLH9lGakNgCDZUkkHMUu88uXYMJu_33Rab&si=xo0EEVJRSwS68mWZ Playlists: Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/0AtsvIUajFCX2M4LuqaO1E?si=QCJY6QO2Rq6PRCdR_y2EpQ Apple: https://music.apple.com/us/playlist/oasis-live-2025-setlist/pl.u-e98l3zLhWq6EDx?ls Contact Us: Website: https://totally80s90srecall.podbean.com/ Email: 80s90srecall@gmail.com LinkTree:https://linktr.ee/80s90srecall

In this episode, Dave, Rob, and Kurt step into the ring with Rocky IV (1985), one of the most over-the-top and iconic entries in the franchise. We’ll dive into the big questions fans have debated for decades: did Rocky single-handedly solve the Cold War with his fists and an inspiring speech? And when it comes to Apollo Creed’s tragic death at the gloves of Ivan Drago, who really shoulders the blame—Apollo himself, Rocky for not throwing in the towel, or the unstoppable force that was Drago? Along the way, we’ll look at how this film turned boxing into a symbol of global politics and gave audiences a hero who could seemingly take on an entire superpower. Of course, no discussion of Rocky IV is complete without talking about the montages—the heart-pumping, sweat-drenched, music-driven sequences that might just be the best in movie history. From training in the Siberian wilderness to Drago’s high-tech gym sessions, the film pushes the art of the montage to new heights, all set against a killer 80s-inspired soundtrack packed with arena-rock anthems that defined the decade. Join us as the three of us break down the movie, its legacy, and whether this slice of 80s cinema magic is more than just cheesy patriotism wrapped in a boxing glove.

In 1981, the music world was still riding the wave of disco’s afterglow while carving out the sounds that would define the decade. Rock was dominant on the charts, with bands like Journey, REO Speedwagon, and Foreigner packing arenas, while new wave acts such as The Go-Go’s and Duran Duran were beginning to reshape pop with synthesizers and bright, punchy hooks. MTV hadn’t launched yet—that would come in August of ’81—so radio play and word of mouth still ruled how fans discovered music. It was a year where the classic rock giants coexisted with the fresh sounds of new wave, setting the stage for an explosion of styles in the 80s. Fast-forward to 1991, and the landscape looked completely different. Grunge had crashed onto the scene with Nirvana’s Nevermind, turning the polished glam metal of the late 80s into yesterday’s news almost overnight. Hip-hop was no longer underground—it was chart-topping, with acts like Public Enemy and A Tribe Called Quest pushing boundaries while mainstream rap stars like MC Hammer and Vanilla Ice were everywhere. Meanwhile, pop was thriving with Mariah Carey, Whitney Houston, and Boyz II Men dominating radio. Unlike 1981, when MTV was just getting started, by 1991 music videos were the cultural centerpiece, shaping not just what people heard but what they wore and how they acted. This week, Dave and Rob will be looking at both years side by side, comparing the sounds, the trends, and the artists who defined each moment in music history.

This week on Totally 80s and 90s Recall, Dave, Rob, and Kurt are joined by special guests Brad and Sean to dive into the wild world of 1980s comedy movies with a March Madness–style 16-team bracket. From slapstick to satire, the guys break down some of the funniest and most quotable films of the decade, pitting classics head-to-head until only two comedies reigns supreme. Each matchup sparks laughs, heated debate, and plenty of nostalgia as the crew tries to decide which flick really captured the comedic spirit of the 80s. The bracket is stacked with heavy-hitters like National Lampoon’s Vacation, Stripes, and Coming to America, each bringing its own brand of outrageous humor and iconic performances. But the competition doesn’t stop there—parody powerhouses like Spaceballs square off against teen comedy staples such as Ferris Bueller’s Day Off and Fast Times at Ridgemont High. The panel wrestles with tough questions: does a cult classic deserve to topple a box office giant? Should quotability matter more than critical acclaim? And just how much does nostalgia play into picking a true champion? With Brad and Sean stirring the pot and adding their own favorites into the mix, the bracket becomes a hilarious walk down memory lane. Whether it’s Chevy Chase bumbling his way through family road trips, Eddie Murphy redefining comedy stardom, or Matthew Broderick convincing us to skip school in style, this episode is packed with laughter, debate, and plenty of “you had to be there” 80s moments.

This week on Totally 80s & 90s Recall, the podcast crew revisited the 1990 classic Kindergarten Cop, and it proved to be a surprisingly entertaining mix of action and comedy. Arnold Schwarzenegger stepping into a classroom full of energetic kids creates a delightfully oddball scenario, balancing tough-guy antics with heartwarming moments. The movie’s humor, combined with its over-the-top premise, makes it an engaging trip back to early 90s cinema. Beyond the laughs, the film captures the quirks of the era, from its style to its tone, and manages to keep viewers invested despite its improbable story. Its charm lies in the collision of chaos and comedy, with memorable performances that have helped it endure as a nostalgic favorite. In the end, Kindergarten Cop remains a fun, feel-good snapshot of 90s entertainment that’s still enjoyable to revisit today.

For the week ending August 27, 1983, the Billboard Hot 100 was loaded with some of the most iconic songs of the decade. At the top, The Police were wrapping up their legendary run with “Every Breath You Take” before yielding to a new wave of contenders. Hot on their heels, Eurythmics’ synth-driven “Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)” was climbing fast, while Michael Sembello’s “Maniac” was burning up the charts thanks to the Flashdance craze. The rest of the Top 10 offered a mix of pure 80s variety: Donna Summer’s “She Works Hard for the Money”, Men at Work’s “It’s a Mistake”, and Taco’s quirky “Puttin’ on the Ritz” stood alongside classic rock staples like Stevie Nicks’ “Stand Back” and Billy Joel’s “Tell Her About It.” Further down the list, radio was buzzing with Lionel Richie, Culture Club, Duran Duran, Def Leppard, and Journey—all proving that pop, rock, R&B, and new wave were all thriving together. On this week’s podcast, Rob and Dave will dive into the chart and each pick a personal favorite. The fun twist is in their contrasting styles: Dave leans into the big anthems and timeless pop moments, while Rob often digs a little deeper, spotlighting tracks that might not have hit No. 1 but still capture the spirit of the era. Together, they’ll break down what makes these songs stand out—whether it’s the infectious hooks, the MTV-ready videos, or the way the tracks still hold up decades later. By the end, listeners will get not only a countdown snapshot of late-summer ’83, but also two very different perspectives on which hits truly defined that moment.

The early ’90s gave us some of the most iconic music of the decade, but 1993 and 1994 also produced a surprising collection of misfires that have aged like milk in the sun. From overproduced follow-up singles that couldn’t capture the magic of their predecessors to novelty tracks that made listeners question their life choices, these years proved that even in the golden age of grunge, hip-hop, and R&B, the charts had plenty of room for the ridiculous. Whether it was a syrupy ballad aimed at reclaiming past glory, a children’s song inexplicably turned into a global hit, or a cartoon theme song dragged into the pop charts, the bad was every bit as memorable as the good — just for all the wrong reasons In this episode, Rob and Dave share their picks for the best of the worst songs from 1993 and 1994 — the tunes that topped “most annoying” lists, baffled critics, and left fans scratching their heads. These are the tracks that tried to ride trends and wound up derailing entirely, the guilty pleasures you wouldn’t admit to liking, and the curiosities that live on as cautionary tales in pop culture history. If you’ve ever wondered how something can be both a chart success and an absolute mess, these two years have all the proof you need — and Rob and Dave are here to break it all down with equal parts nostalgia and playful mockery Pandora: https://pandora.app.link/iq8iShjXOLb Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/totally-80s-and-90s-recall/id1662282694 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/11dk5TUoLUk4euD1Te1EYG?si=b37496eb6e784408 Amazon Music: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/1960c8f9-158d-43ac-89a6-d868ea1fe077/totally-80s-and-90s-recall YouTube Podcasts: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLH9lGakNgCDZUkkHMUu88uXYMJu_33Rab&si=xo0EEVJRSwS68mWZ Playlists: Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/6qCDrwzYFH6nX9R6agfNun?si=b2fsNxNQSLScHQJwJeCqBw Apple: https://music.apple.com/us/playlist/1993-1994-worst-songs/pl.u-38oWj04Ig5GBpk?ls Amazon: https://music.amazon.com/user-playlists/ac5364819a794a5781faf4dc78c6a1b3sune?marketplaceId=ATVPDKIKX0DER&musicTerritory=US&ref=dm_sh_wFOSZCtoltLH71StcEbla6B5c Contact Us: Website: https://totally80s90srecall.podbean.com/ Email: 80s90srecall@gmail.com LinkTree:https://linktr.ee/80s90srecall

This week on Totally 80’s and 90’s Recall, Rob and Dave are going way back—to the years they were born! Dave is diving into the Billboard Hot 100 of 1976, and Rob’s taking on 1977, but with a twist: each of them has handpicked their favorite 10 songs from those charts—not necessarily the biggest hits, but the ones that stuck with them as they grew up through the late ’70s and into the heart of the ’80s. It’s personal, nostalgic, and full of deep cuts and timeless classics. But the music didn’t exist in a vacuum—pop culture was fueling the fire. Think Rocky and Saturday Night Fever changing the game, CB radios and bell bottoms in full swing, the rise of FM radio and variety shows like Donny & Marie or The Sonny & Cher Comedy Hour keeping families glued to the tube. Disco balls lit the dance floors, punk was brewing in the underground, and AM radio was a blend of soul, rock, funk, and soft pop magic. Expect plenty of storytelling, musical surprises, and the kind of passionate debate only two pop culture buffs can bring. From disco grooves and soft rock jams to early signs of the sounds that would dominate the ’80s, these songs weren’t just hits—they were part of the soundtrack to Rob and Dave’s childhoods.

In this week’s episode of Totally 80’s and 90’s Recall, Dave and Rob dive deep into the flannel-wrapped world of one of the most iconic bands of the ‘90s—Pearl Jam. From the explosive arrival of Ten in 1991 to their fierce stance against the mainstream and Ticketmaster, Pearl Jam helped shape the grunge movement while carving their own path through the decade’s chaotic music scene. We’re talking raw emotion, blistering guitar riffs, and a frontman in Eddie Vedder whose voice became the battle cry for a generation disillusioned with polished pop and hair metal. Their blend of punk, classic rock, and introspective lyrics created an authentic sound that resonated with millions. Dave and Rob break down the band’s cultural footprint, including their role in the Seattle sound explosion and their refusal to play the fame game. Of course, we couldn’t talk about Pearl Jam without giving our Essential Top 10 Pearl Jam Songs of the ‘90s—the ones that defined the decade, made us crank up the volume, and still hit just as hard today. Whether you're a longtime fan or just jumping into their discography, this episode is a tribute to one of the most important bands of the era. Plug in, turn it up, and let’s relive the sound that rocked the ‘90s.
