Totally 80s and 90s Recall

Jingle All The Way (1996)

In 1996, mild mannered mattress salesman Howard Langston must get a specific Xmas present for his son Jamie. Of course, the toy is sold out and hilarity and hijinks ensue as Howard goes on a chaotic journey throughout the Twin Cities in Minnesota. 1996’s Jingle All the Way stars Arnold Schwarzenegger as a detached father and husband who constantly disappoints his wife and son. This week, Rob, Kurt and Dave will go over this Christmas “classic” and see if the laughs and sight gags still hold up almost 30 years later. Will this workaholic dad and husband save the day and realize what’s most important? Or, will he actually learn nothing, be rewarded for being a terrible person and continue to live his crazy life? We’ll look at that plus the theme of capitalism and commercialism at Christmas all wrapped up in a shiny holiday package. Turbo Man may be the real winner, but we’re left wondering why no one called CPS!

Bad Christmas Songs

Christmas songs are seen as a pivotal part of the holiday season. They bring feelings of nostalgia, festivity, family and memories. Classics like Jingle Bell Rock and Santa Claus is Coming to Town just make the season feel complete. However, not all Christmas songs are made the same, in fact some songs and artists should probably avoid the holiday season altogether. So what makes a bad Christmas song? Holiday cringe, ill fitting genres, celebrity cash ins and melancholy overload. This week Dave will introduce an entire playlist of what have been deemed as less than classic Christmas songs, and to be honest, are just bad overall. Rob and Dave will discuss, laugh and try to figure out why these were even recorded and who knows, amongst all of the crap, you may find a new holiday classic (which would be strange). So grab some chestnuts and hot cocoa and we’ll go a wassailing, hopefully not being arrested in the process for being a public nuisance and/or disturbing the peace. So Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays, even if these songs don’t exactly always make you feel that way

Dumb & Dumber (1994)

We’re loading up in the Shaggin’ Wagon this week and heading someplace warm, a little place called Aspen to look back at one of the comedy classics of the 1990s, Dumb & Dumber. We’ll take a look at the story of two best friends, Lloyd and Harry, who are so clueless that they redefine the limits of human stupidity. 30 years ago this week, we piled into the theater to watch one of the most funny movies we’d seen as teenagers. This week, Rob, Dave and Kurt will try their best to go over all the best parts of Dumb & Dumber, as there aren’t any bad ones and see what hilarity will ensue. In the end, briefcases, hot peppers, Lamborghini’s and big june bugs are on the menu and Harry and Lloyd do everything they can to return a briefcase as we look back at 1994s Dumb & Dumber. And unlike Lloyd, we are aware that we’ve already landed on the moon.

Planes, Trains, and Automobiles (1987)

This week we’re traveling all the way back to 1987 to look at, perhaps, the best Thanksgiving movie and buddy comedy ever made, Planes, Trains, and Automobiles. A control freak marketing exec and a loudmouthed shower curtain ring salesman team up for the world’s most disastrous road trip. What begins as a simple flight home for Thanksgiving spirals into a cross-country journey filled with fiery rental cars, broken trains, and one particularly intimate motel bed scene. Along the way, they endure hilariously awkward mishaps, exchange epic insults and eventually bond over the sheer absurdity of their misfortunes. Rob, Dave and Kurt will take a humorous look at all of the best and maybe not so great moments from this iconic holiday movie. It’s the ultimate holiday travel nightmare, equal parts frustration, hilarity and heartwarming bromance. By the time they reach Chicago, you’ll never look at a pair of stolen socks or a burnt car the same way again.

80s 90s Top #100 Songs

It’s been almost 2 years and the team of Rob and Dave at Totally 80’s and 90s Recall have made it to their 100th episode. This week the hosts take a look back at the Billboard Hot 100 charts in the 80s and 90s. Normally, people look at the #1 songs, or the top 10 or 40 hits, but not this week. On this episode, Rob and Dave look at all of the songs that were ranked at #100 at some point during each year of the 80s and 90s. They’ll then rank their favorites from each year and discuss and possibly disagree on the validity and quality of those songs. Finding gems that hit #100 can sometimes uncover underrated songs and really popular songs that found their way to this part of the list. Often it could be a debut, but also it’s just a song that already peaked higher on the Billboard charts and is now on its way out. So for this podcast’s 100th episode, Rob and Dave will rack and stack their favorites and prove that the number attached to a song on the Hot 100 doesn’t always reflect how great of a jam it could be.

Son In Law (1993)

As we move into November, we take a look at our first Thanksgiving movie, Son In Law starring Pauly Shore. For this episode, Dave, Kurt and Rob will travel to South Dakota and watch this Fish-out-of-water comedy down on a farm. Shore looks to help out his college friend, Carla Gugino as she visits her parents during the Thanksgiving break from school by creating a distraction for her boyfriend Travis. From farming to square dancing, fishing and Playboy’s, Shore will find out how different, and similar life can be in middle America. With plenty of early 90’s style, the film offers an amusing take on culture shock and family acceptance, all in classic Pauly Shore fashion buddies!!!

Halloween (1978)

It’s SpookTober and what is more iconic than scary dudes with masks looking to chase local babysitters? That’s right, we’re looking at the horror classic, 1978’s Halloween. Directed by John Carpenter, Halloween follows the story of a troubled young boy who turns into a malevolent and unstoppable force as an adult. This week, Rob, Kurt and Dave will re-watch a movie considered an all time classic to see if it still holds up and will retain the title as the greatest horror movie ever made. We’ll discuss whether or not all other modern day horror movies only exist because of John Carpenter’s classic. It spawned multiple sequels and made its main evil character, Michael Myers a pop culture icon. So grab some overalls, toss on a mask and go looking for teenagers doing all the things they’re not supposed to be doing as we try to scare the crap out of you talking about 1978's Halloween.

90’s #1 Hits?

The 1990’s were a wild time for music. The emergence of so many styles and genres of music made it one of the most eclectic decades of our lifetimes. However, despite producing some of the most iconic and memorable songs and albums of the last 40-50 years, somehow some questionable songs were able to top the Billboard charts. On this week’s episode, Rob and Dave take a look at a group of songs that overcame many of their own shortcomings to somehow become the most popular song in America for at least 1 week in the 90’s. We’ll look at the songs, what they were all about and discuss why we think they may have been able to rise up the charts and overtake music, that looking back was completely superior in so many ways. So buckle up for some interesting hits from the 90’s this week, and maybe a few you might actually like, as we ask the question “How Did These Songs hit #1 in the 90’s?”

Ghostbusters (1984)

24 hours a day, 7 days a week, no job is too big, no fee is too big for Rob, Dave and Kurt as they go busting ghosts. We’re going back 40 years to revisit the timeless 80’s comedy classic Ghostbusters. This groundbreaking movie from our childhood blended humor, supernatural elements, and cutting edge special effects in a way that was fresh and captivating at the time. It had a memorable cast of characters starring Bill Murray, Dan Akroyd, Harold Ramis, Rick Moranis and Sigourney Weaver. It also has a theme song that has become one of the most iconic in movie history, endless quotes people still use today and an appeal as a movie that appeals to kids and adults alike. So join us as we breakdown and have fun going over our favorite parts of the movie and take a journey back to one of the most beloved films of the 1980’s. So break up the dogs and cats, and you should know exactly Who You’re Gonna Call, and we’ll bring the marshmallows.
