• 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.

• 90s Adult Contemporary

  90s Adult Contemporary In the 1990s, while grunge was roaring from Seattle and hip-hop was taking over the charts, a smoother, more polished sound quietly thrived on radio stations and office CD players across America — Adult Contemporary. This was the music of big emotions, soft edges, and universal appeal. Artists like Celine Dion, Phil Collins, Michael Bolton, and Whitney Houston carried the torch for power ballads and lushly produced pop that spoke to love, loss, and life’s quieter moments. It was the soundtrack for carpool lines, candlelit dinners, and Sunday mornings — a genre that valued melody, warmth, and timeless sentiment over angst or attitude. Yet, in its own way, 90s Adult Contemporary was just as defining as its louder, cooler counterparts. It provided a refuge from the chaos of alternative rock and rap’s streetwise bravado — a reminder that sincerity and strong songwriting still had a place in mainstream music. Artists like Sheryl Crow, Richard Marx, and Amy Grant modernized the format, blending acoustic pop, light rock, and even touches of R&B into radio-friendly hits. It was the sound of balance in a decade of extremes — the music that bridged generations and proved that not every great song needed distortion or defiance to leave a lasting impression.

• The Shining (1980)

  This week, Rob, Dave, and Kurt dive deep into one of the most haunting and visually striking films of the 1980s—Stanley Kubrick’s The Shining. Released in 1980 and based (loosely) on Stephen King’s novel, the film stars Jack Nicholson as Jack Torrance, a struggling writer who takes a job as the winter caretaker of the isolated Overlook Hotel. Alongside his wife Wendy (Shelley Duvall) and young son Danny (Danny Lloyd), Jack’s descent into madness unfolds through Kubrick’s signature slow-burn tension, eerie atmosphere, and unforgettable imagery—from the ghostly twins in the hallway to that chilling “Here’s Johnny!” moment. The crew explores how The Shining went beyond traditional horror to become a psychological masterpiece. They’ll dig into Kubrick’s meticulous direction, Nicholson’s unhinged performance, and the film’s enduring mysteries—from the Overlook’s sinister layout to the cryptic final photograph. Expect theories, trivia, and maybe even a few laughs as Rob, Dave, and Kurt revisit what many consider the ultimate blend of artistry and terror in 1980s cinema 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 Contact Us: Website: https://totally80s90srecall.podbean.com/  Email: [email protected] LinkTree:https://linktr.ee/80s90srecall
