Totally 80s and 90s Recall

Back to the Future (1985)

Great Scott! Back to the Future is the heartwarming tale of a teenage slacker, a wild-haired scientist, and a DeLorean with more horsepower than common sense. When Marty McFly accidentally zaps himself from 1985 to 1955, he must dodge his horny teenage mom, fix his parents’ love life, and somehow get back to the future—all while Doc Brown turns Hill Valley High into a test site for time-traveling pyrotechnics. It’s got skateboards, flux capacitors, Libyan terrorists, and more "Whoa, wait a minute, Doc" moments than Einstein can handle
This week on Totally 80’s and 90’s Recall, Dave, Rob, and Kurt fire up the podcast and hit 88 miles per hour to break down the cinematic magic of Back to the Future. From Biff’s punchable face to Chuck Berry’s accidental inspiration, we’re talking all the iconic lines, legendary scenes, and scientific inaccuracies that made this time-traveling adventure a pop culture lightning bolt. So buckle up—because where we're going, we don’t need roads… just great Wi-Fi

Pearl Jam

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!

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. Will they agree on the best track of ’84? Will Rob finally admit that Steve Winwood is the Beast? Will Dave go on a five-minute rant about how overrated U2 is? There’s only one way to find out—tune in, jump in the chat, and relive the 80s like you’re back in your bedroom recording songs off the radio.

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

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

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

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)

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)

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!
