The 90s had a velvet-lit corner of the dance floor reserved for slow jams that knew exactly what they were doing. Rob and Dave are cracking open that time capsule this week, lining up their favorite Valentine-ready booty jams where the bassline lingered and the vocals whispered promises. Artists like Keith Sweat and Blackstreet didn’t rush the moment. They let it simmer, letting silk-smooth harmonies and late-night grooves do the heavy lifting. These were songs built for dim lights, a little confidence, and the kind of mood where the rest of the world politely waits outside. And then there’s the next wave of heat, where artists like Usher and Ginuwine turned sensual R&B into a full-body experience without ever crossing the line. The 90s were loaded with tracks that made you lean in closer, nod your head slower, and maybe forget what time it was. It was grown-up music with a playful grin, equal parts romance and rhythm. Perfect Valentine fuel, especially when Rob and Dave are spinning memories, stories, and songs that still know how to set the mood decades later 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/5AiXLgbzjM65fgSVJZQNDO?si=H8D365BtT0GFUuH8qxFtcg    Apple: https://music.apple.com/us/playlist/90s-booty-jams/pl.u-e98loWlUWq6EDx?ls   Amazon: https://music.amazon.com/user-playlists/04b97ef29e5c448a9f6467e24d34c0eesune?marketplaceId=ATVPDKIKX0DER&musicTerritory=US&ref=dm_sh_JoQJhDNQ1dVaytwKN5qn8KF57   Contact Us: Website: https://totally80s90srecall.podbean.com/  Email: [email protected]   LinkTree:https://linktr.ee/80s90srecall 

The week of January 27th, 1986 found the Billboard Hot 100 glowing like a neon strip of American pop confidence. Radio and record stores were in lockstep, and the charts reflected a nation humming along to big hooks and bigger personalities. Bruce Springsteen was still flying the blue collar flag high, Dire Straits proved that sophisticated guitar rock could dominate mainstream ears, and The Cars continued to fuse new wave cool with arena sized melodies. These were songs built for car stereos, shopping malls, and late night countdown shows, polished just enough to feel timeless but still crackling with mid-80s energy. Now, forty years later, Dave and Rob rewind the tape to revisit a chart that felt less like a list and more like a cultural snapshot. Mr. Mister’s sleek, keyboard driven anthems floated alongside guitar heroes and synth architects, all competing for the same precious real estate on radios across America. Album sales mattered, airplay mattered, and the Hot 100 became the scoreboard where it all converged. This week in 1986 reminds us of an era when songs didn’t just chart, they camped out in your head for months, becoming the soundtrack to daily life and the echoes that still follow us decades later 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/1DJLbXKYb7yszYsV5h2qxm?si=yPbFNi4RSOKjaCNBS4_h8A    Apple: https://music.apple.com/us/playlist/billboard-hot-100-jan-27-1986/pl.u-mJy89J4tB1e07X?ls   Amazon: https://music.amazon.com/user-playlists/b4dcac20ba434d9480532b1c4fea6daasune?marketplaceId=ATVPDKIKX0DER&musicTerritory=US&ref=dm_sh_Yybw4IcSjS0eml0R1a7N4mRB9 Contact Us: Website: https://totally80s90srecall.podbean.com/  Email: [email protected]   LinkTree:https://linktr.ee/80s90srecall

We’re cracking open 1991 like a fresh VHS rental and drafting the very best films the year had to offer. Rob, Dave, and Kurt will go head to head, assembling their dream rosters from a cinematic moment that still hums with electricity. This was the year of Terminator 2: Judgment Day rewriting the rules of the blockbuster, The Silence of the Lambs turning prestige drama into a pop culture event, and comedies lodging themselves permanently in the brain. What About Bob?, with Bill Murray at peak controlled chaos, sat right alongside Hot Shots!, proving 1991 could swing from psychological tension to perfectly timed lunacy without breaking stride. The draft unfolds across six categories, including comedy, blockbuster, big budget, and drama, forcing tough calls right out of the gate. Do you lock in T2 or Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves for sheer scale, grab Boyz n the Hood or Thelma & Louise for dramatic weight, or roll the dice on something like Point Break, where surf culture, skydiving, and philosophy collide? Strategy matters, nostalgia runs hot, and no one leaves without defending at least one hill they’re willing to die on. By the end, we’ll have three very different blueprints of 1991, built from quotable lines, seismic action, and films that still feel permanently etched into moviegoing memory Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/totally-80s-and-90s-recall/id1662282694    Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/11dk5TUoLUk4euD1Te1EYG?si=b37496eb6e784408    Amazon: 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: [email protected] LinkTree:https://linktr.ee/80s90srecall  Voicemail #: (509) 426-4542 

New Jack Swing kicked the door open in the late 80s and rearranged the furniture. Born at the crossroads of slick R&B vocals and the punchy swagger of hip hop beats, it fused polished melodies with drum machine snap, sampled funk, and a streetwise pulse. Teddy Riley was the mad scientist at the center of it all, wiring together sounds that felt futuristic and familiar at the same time. Artists like Bobby Brown, Janet Jackson, Guy, Keith Sweat, and Bell Biv DeVoe turned dance floors into pressure cookers, where romance, bravado, and pure groove all bounced to the same rhythm When Dave and Rob dive into New Jack Swing, they will be stepping into an era where R&B stopped tiptoeing and started strutting, and they will be picking their personal favorites from the genre along the way. This style dominated the late 80s and early 90s by changing how songs were produced, how artists moved, and how hip hop and R&B talked to each other. Expect a rundown of the songs that defined the sound for them, because New Jack Swing did not just soundtrack a moment, it defined an attitude Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/totally-80s-and-90s-recall/id1662282694    Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/11dk5TUoLUk4euD1Te1EYG?si=b37496eb6e784408    Amazon: 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: [email protected] LinkTree:https://linktr.ee/80s90srecall  Voicemail #: (509) 426-4542    Playlists: Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/64WiYudzrtZCjE9HfAogdT?si=6gLFbrWjTyqY8kKtNVjn0w    Apple: https://music.apple.com/us/playlist/80s90s-new-jack-swing/pl.u-9N9L1N3s7Y6Wq9?ls   Amazon: https://music.amazon.com/user-playlists/65c1976794114d21a215dc7e68a729b7sune?marketplaceId=ATVPDKIKX0DER&musicTerritory=US&ref=dm_sh_XM7iQG0NCCJ79JZDSALnDyMVD

In this episode, Rob and Dave fire up the musical time machine and pit 1982 against 1992, two years that changed the sound of pop in very different ways. They start by breaking down each year’s Billboard Top 5 hits, where synths, power ballads, and early MTV shine in ’82, while ’92 flexes with grunge tremors, hip hop dominance, and slick pop polish. From chart-toppers that ruled car radios to songs you could not escape at the mall, they examine what these hits say about the mood, style, and cultural heartbeat of their respective years. But the charts never tell the whole story, so Rob and Dave dig deeper into the tracks that lived just outside the Top 5 and still hit hard today. Cult favorites, album cuts, and radio staples that helped define each year get their moment in the spotlight, sparking debate, nostalgia, and a few friendly jabs. In the end, the gloves come off as Rob and Dave each make the case for which year truly delivered the better music. Was it the neon glow and new wave confidence of 1982, or the raw edge and genre-blending brilliance of 1992? One year will win, one will lose, and the listeners get to ride shotgun for the showdown 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/2cWEYCeauBC2YQ2gPCclqS?si=6GRxM-HvRxq_zm5BMQ0-rw    Apple: https://music.apple.com/us/playlist/1982-vs-1992/pl.u-DdANGd5Il5eXZJ?ls   Amazon: https://music.amazon.com/user-playlists/58f46ae3852544f99f39ddc924b55b95sune?marketplaceId=ATVPDKIKX0DER&musicTerritory=US&ref=dm_sh_ftRbegaLyvBef0UBYyxDv3g57   Contact Us: Website: https://totally80s90srecall.podbean.com/  Email: [email protected] LinkTree:https://linktr.ee/80s90srecall 

The lights are hot, the synths are humming, and the 80s Movie Bracket has reached its glorious endgame. Rob, Dave, and Kurt throw open the studio doors and welcome two heavy hitters of nostalgia, Jim from Children of the 80s and Giff from Pop Culture Yearbook, to help settle an argument that has echoed since VHS rewinds were a workout. Four mighty brackets, Action, Comedy, Sports, and Sci-Fi/Fantasy, have battled through montages, one-liners, and slow-motion triumphs, leaving eight titans standing. This is not a debate, it’s a cinematic steel cage match where reputations are on the line and John Williams-level drama hangs in the air. On the final card, Back to the Future squares off against Ghostbusters in a clash of flux capacitors and proton packs, while Die Hard and Predator bring bare-knuckle bravado to the action corner. Comedy sends Coming to America and Three Amigos to the front lines armed with royal swagger and accidental heroics, and sports delivers pure heart with Hoosiers versus The Karate Kid, a battle of gym floors and crane kicks. With Jim and Giff in the mix, every vote carries the weight of mixtapes, sleepovers, and movie posters taped to bedroom walls. One film will rise above them all, crowned the greatest 80s movie of all time, while the rest take a bow to thunderous applause and a perfectly timed guitar riff 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: [email protected] LinkTree:https://linktr.ee/80s90srecall 

Rob and Dave Pry open the Billboard Holiday 100 for the week of December 13, 2025, like two kids shaking a suspiciously heavy gift under the tree. They wander through the chart’s blizzard of seasonal contenders, pointing out the trends, oddities, and eyebrow-raising entries that somehow drifted their way into the top 100. Their goal: identify the tracks that deliver genuine holiday sparkle rather than the musical equivalent of regifted fruitcake. Once the dusting of chart snow settles, the duo assembles a holiday playlist guaranteed to warm spirits, lift moods, and possibly provoke at least one questionable dance move. Expect cozy tunes, festive fireworks, and a sprinkle of strange-but-charming surprises that only this chart can provide. Whatever your December looks like, Rob and Dave’s playlist promises to add a little extra twinkle to the chaos.

Dave, Rob, and Kurt settle into their studio chairs like a trio of over-caffeinated elves, ready to unwrap the 1990 holiday juggernaut that is Home Alone. Their conversation whirls through booby-trap brilliance, John Williams magic, and the curious physics of paint cans that apparently double as guided missiles. Each host brings a different flavor to the sleigh ride: Dave with his delighted forensic breakdown of Kevin’s gadgetry, Rob with his gleeful appreciation for Daniel Stern’s operatic screams, and Kurt chiming in like a cinematic chimney sweep, sweeping up every stray detail of Chicago suburbia in December Before long, the studio hums like a blinking string of lights as the three volley memories from childhood Christmases, those early encounters with a movie that felt equal parts cartoon and cozy hearth. They marvel at how a simple tale of a forgotten kid guarding his kingdom became a perennial beacon in the winter constellation. Even now, as adults flanked by microphones instead of stockings, the film hits them with the same peppermint-snap energy: fast, funny, a little chaotic, and glowing with the warm certainty that, in the end, everyone finds their way home   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: [email protected] LinkTree:https://linktr.ee/80s90srecall 

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.

On this week’s episode of Totally 80’s and 90’s Recall, Dave and Rob dive headfirst into the colorful world of 1980s one-hit wonders — those unforgettable artists who flashed across the charts like neon lightning and then vanished just as quickly. From the synth-heavy pulse of “Take On Me” by A-ha to the infectious groove of Dexys Midnight Runners’ “Come On Eileen,” the duo celebrates the decade’s most memorable moments of musical magic. Between laughs and trivia, they unpack what made these songs soar — and why, despite their fleeting fame, they still blast through every retro playlist today. As always, Dave and Rob bring their trademark mix of humor, nostalgia, and deep pop culture knowledge, weaving in stories about MTV debuts, movie tie-ins, and the wild fashion choices that defined the era. Whether it’s debating which one-hit wonder deserved a second shot at stardom or reminiscing about cassette tapes and boombox sing-alongs, this episode is a total rewind to the golden age of guilty pleasures.

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: [email protected] LinkTree:https://linktr.ee/80s90srecall
