(What’s The Story) Morning Glory? - Oasis (1995)

10/7/2025
(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

Rocky IV (1985)

9/30/2025
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.

The duo shares their favorite tracks from artists like Garth Brooks, Shania Twain, and Brooks & Dunn, unpacking the stories behind the songs and why they resonated so strongly with audiences at the time. They’ll go over some of their absolute favorites in that era as they put together a playlist worthy of any honky tonk anywhere in the world.They discuss everything from Country music to Jodie Foster, Elle Macpherson and Mutt Lange. Beyond the nostalgia, Dave and Rob explore why country music exploded in popularity during the decade. They point to the way artists struck the perfect balance between tradition and modern polish, creating a sound that felt both fresh and familiar. With the rise of music videos on CMT and the massive appeal of arena tours, country music became more accessible than ever. The genre’s storytelling connected deeply with listeners across America, while its production quality rivaled pop and rock radio. For Dave and Rob, revisiting this era isn’t just about the songs themselves—it’s about remembering how 90s country became a cultural force that defined a generation.

Billboard 1981 vs 1991

9/16/2025
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.

1980s Movie Bracket (Comedy)

9/9/2025
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. It’s the ultimate comedy showdown, and only two films can survive the bracket madness!

Kindergarten Cop (1990)

9/2/2025
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.

Billboard Hot 100; Week of Aug 26th, 1983

8/26/2025
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.

Worst Songs of 1993/1994

8/19/2025
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

Billboard Birthday Episode!

8/12/2025
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.

Pearl Jam

7/29/2025
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.

80s Billboard Live!

7/22/2025
This week, Rob and Dave are throwing caution (and their notes) to the wind as they go live on Totally 80’s and 90’s Recall for a wild ride through the Billboard charts of the 1980s! That’s right—no scripts, no prep, just two dudes, a mic, and a time-traveling love affair with the greatest decade in music history. For this live episode, they'll spin the wheel (okay, probably just pick randomly) to choose a year, then dive headfirst into the hits, the misses, and the glorious one-hit wonders that defined it. Expect spontaneous singalongs, deep-cut debates, and Rob pulling out obscure trivia like he’s got Casey Kasem on speed dial. From 1981’s synth-soaked anthems to 1987’s hair-metal dominance, Rob and Dave will relive the magic and madness of each chart-topping year, all while listeners join in on the fun in real time.

Jerry Maguire (1996) - Cruise-In: Part III

7/15/2025
Oh, Jerry Maguire—the 1996 rom-com/sports drama hybrid we didn’t know we needed but now can’t live without. Tom Cruise plays a slick sports agent who has a midlife moral crisis, writes a manifesto (sorry, mission statement), gets immediately fired, and walks out of the office with nothing but a goldfish and Renée Zellweger. Meanwhile, Cuba Gooding Jr. yells “Show me the money!” enough times to win an Oscar and become a pop culture icon overnight. It’s a movie that gave us more catchphrases than a 90s infomercial and somehow convinced us that an awkward kid with spiky hair whispering “Did you know the human head weighs 8 pounds?” was adorable. This week on Totally 80’s and 90’s Recall, Dave, Rob, and the movie hound Kurt dig into the world of agents, ethics, and emotionally confused football players. They ask the important questions: Was Jerry a visionary or just bad at his job? Was Rod Tidwell actually worth the contract? And how did Jonathan Lipnicki steal every single scene he was in? From Bruce Springsteen's “Secret Garden” to the best/worst use of a "you complete me" line ever uttered, the guys break down the laughs, the love, and the late-90s awkwardness in a way only they can. So grab your memo, your fish, and your mentor’s gold card—you’re gonna want to hear this.

A Few Good Men (1992) - Cruise-In: Part II

7/8/2025
A Few Good Men is a powerhouse military courtroom drama directed by Rob Reiner, starring Tom Cruise, Jack Nicholson, and Demi Moore. The story follows hotshot Navy lawyer Lt. Daniel Kaffee (Cruise), who’s known for cutting plea deals rather than seeing the inside of a courtroom. But when two Marines are accused of murdering a fellow Marine at Guantanamo Bay, Kaffee is pushed into a case that’s way bigger than he’s used to. As he digs deeper—alongside Lt. Cmdr. JoAnne Galloway (Moore)—they uncover a dangerous code of silence, a culture of obedience, and the possible involvement of high-ranking officials, including the fearsome Col. Nathan R. Jessup (Nicholson). The tension builds to a legendary courtroom showdown that gave us one of the most iconic movie lines of the '90s: "You can't handle the truth!" The film is a blend of sharp dialogue, big personalities, and moral complexity, making it one of the defining dramas of the early ’90s. Cruise brings his signature intensity, while Nicholson delivers a performance that’s equal parts terrifying and mesmerizing. The cast also includes Kevin Bacon, Kiefer Sutherland, and Cuba Gooding Jr. in a small but memorable role. A Few Good Men doesn’t just serve military courtroom drama—it dives into themes of honor, duty, and justice in a rigid chain-of-command environment. It’s exactly the kind of film Dave, Rob, and Kurt can sink their teeth into on Totally 80’s and 90’s Recall, packed with quotable lines, powerhouse performances, and that unmistakable early-'90s prestige film vibe.

Days of Thunder (1990) - Cruise-In: Part I

7/1/2025
This week on Totally 80s and 90s Recall, Dave, Rob, and Kurt are firing up the engines and diving into Days of Thunder (1990), the slick, high-speed NASCAR drama that brought Top Gun-style adrenaline to the racetrack. Directed by Tony Scott and produced by the powerhouse duo of Don Simpson and Jerry Bruckheimer, the film stars Tom Cruise as Cole Trickle, a fearless but raw driver trying to prove himself on the NASCAR circuit. Backed by veteran crew chief Harry Hogge (Robert Duvall) and team owner Tim Daland (Randy Quaid), Cole navigates the fierce world of stock car racing, intense rivalries, and a life-changing crash that forces him to confront his own limitations. Nicole Kidman also makes her debut as Dr. Claire Lewicki, a neurosurgeon who becomes both Cole’s caretaker and love interest. In their breakdown of the film, the guys rev up the nostalgia by exploring the movie’s iconic race scenes, killer Hans Zimmer score, and the romance that sparked between Cruise and Kidman’s characters. With plenty of behind-the-scenes trivia, quotable lines ("Rubbin’, son, is racin’"), and some good old-fashioned '90s movie magic, Dave, Rob, and Kurt put the pedal to the metal in revisiting this cult favorite. Buckle up—this episode is racing straight into your ears!

1980s Action Movies (Bracket)

6/17/2025
This week, Dave, Rob, and Kurt (with a special guest) strap on their bandoliers and dive headfirst into the over-the-top, protein-shake-fueled madness of 1980s action movies—where subtlety was for side characters and every explosion was a valid plot device. This was the golden era when Arnold Schwarzenegger could wipe out an entire jungle cartel with just a grimace, Sylvester Stallone turned mumbling into an art form (while bench-pressing Cold War tensions), and Jean-Claude Van Damme split-kicked his way into our hearts—and sometimes into slow-motion for no reason. These were movies where bullets never ran out, henchmen arrived in unlimited waves, and the only thing more ripped than the heroes were their sleeves. The 80s taught us that world peace could be achieved with a machine gun and a killer one-liner. So join the crew as they salute the action gods, relive the chaos, and ask the important questions—like are we, now in 2025, too old for this sh**!!

Heat (1995)

6/3/2025
This week, we’re firing up the intensity with Heat, Michael Mann’s epic 1995 crime saga that brought together two cinematic titans — Al Pacino and Robert De Niro — for the first time ever in a shared scene. (Yes, The Godfather Part II doesn’t count — different timelines, folks.) Heat is a gritty, stylish, and emotionally charged cat-and-mouse thriller set against the moody backdrop of Los Angeles. Pacino plays Lt. Vincent Hanna, a relentless LAPD detective with a chaotic personal life and a flair for dramatic yelling. De Niro is Neil McCauley, a cool, calculating career thief who lives by a strict code: never get attached to anything you can’t walk out on in 30 seconds flat if you feel the heat around the corner. After a high-stakes armored car heist goes sideways, Hanna starts closing in on McCauley and his crew, which includes a young, twitchy Val Kilmer and Tom Sizemore in full 90s tough-guy mode. The film builds toward one of the most iconic diner scenes in film history — a quiet, tense face-off between Pacino and De Niro — and ends with a pulse-pounding airport showdown you won’t forget. With a killer supporting cast (Ashley Judd, Natalie Portman, Jon Voight, and even a blink-and-you’ll-miss-him Henry Rollins), a haunting score, and shootouts that still influence action films today, Heat isn’t just a movie — it’s an experience. Stylish, sprawling, and full of moral gray areas, it’s Michael Mann at the top of his game. So buckle up, because this week on Totally 80s and 90s Recall, we’re diving deep into the heat, the heists, and that glorious late-90s energy. Don’t miss it!

Ill Communication - Beastie Boys (1994)

5/27/2025
Ill Communication, released in 1994, marked a high point for the Beastie Boys, blending their signature irreverent style with genre-hopping experimentation. The album saw the trio—Mike D, MCA, and Ad-Rock—seamlessly fuse hardcore punk, jazz-funk, and old-school hip-hop, with the standout single “Sabotage” becoming an anthem of the era. Its explosive bassline, distorted guitars, and aggressive delivery captured the Beasties at their rawest and most innovative. At the same time, tracks like “Sure Shot” and “Root Down” paid homage to their b-boy roots with tight rhymes and slick DJ work from Mix Master Mike. The album wasn't just about sonic chaos—it carried deeper, more mature undertones, reflecting MCA’s growing interest in Buddhism and activism. For many fans—and clearly for us here at Totally 80's and 90's Recall—Ill Communication stands as a definitive '90s album that refused to be boxed in. It’s wild, funny, political, and endlessly replayable. From punk mosh pits to chill jazz instrumentals like “Sabrosa,” the Beastie Boys proved they weren’t just rap pranksters from the '80s—they were legit musical craftsmen. The album captured the eclectic energy of the decade and the spirit of reinvention that defined the Beasties' career. Whether you're blasting “Sabotage” in your car or grooving to the funky vibes of “Flute Loop,” this one hits as hard now as it did in ‘94.
