Totally 80s and 90s Recall

• 80s 90s Christmas

  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.

• Scrooged (1988)

  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.

• 80s Video Games

  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.

• 80s One Hit 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.
