Totally 80s and 90s Recall

Is 1983 the greatest year in music history, or does 1993 take the crown? In this episode, we dive deep into the sonic rivalry between the neon-soaked 80s New Wave and the raw, rebellious 90s Alternative era.

From the global takeover of Michael Jackson’s Thriller and the synth-pop hooks of The Police, to the distorted guitars of Nirvana and the West Coast grooves of Dr. Dre, we’re breaking down the charts, the culture, and the gear that defined two legendary generations. Whether you’re a fan of MTV’s golden age or the Lollapalooza revolution, this episode is your backstage pass to the ultimate mixtape debate

This week we're reviewing the 1991 Kevin Costner classic Robin Hood; Prince of Thieves. We'll travel back to 1194 to frantically help Costner look for his English accent. This high action darker take on Robin Hood was a global financial success earning over $390 million worldwide. Although Costner's hair and flaming arrow may have gotten you to the theater, it's Alan Rickman who steals the show as the Sheriff of Nottingham. Rickman delivers and steals every scene he's in, making you laugh the whole time. Does this movie hold up? Is Bryan Adams evil with that song? Why is the score so good?

Dave, Rob and Kurt will join Robin and his Merry Men back in Sherwood Forest on this episode to rob from the rich and steal from the poor, and please, leave the dull spoons at home
