From breezy jams to road trip anthems, Dave and Rob take you track by track through this feel-good mix, reminiscing about where they were when these songs ruled the radio and CD burners ruled the bedroom. Expect a blend of upbeat pop, breezy alt-rock, hip-hop hits, and maybe even a surprise slow jam or two — because every summer mix needs at least one. They'll talk about why each song made the cut, how it still holds up, and what makes it feel like summer.

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!

Ill Communication, released in 1994, marked a high point for the Beastie Boys, blending their signature irreverent style with genre-hopping experimentation. The album saw the trio—Mike D, MCA, and Ad-Rock—seamlessly fuse hardcore punk, jazz-funk, and old-school hip-hop, with the standout single “Sabotage” becoming an anthem of the era. Its explosive bassline, distorted guitars, and aggressive delivery captured the Beasties at their rawest and most innovative. At the same time, tracks like “Sure Shot” and “Root Down” paid homage to their b-boy roots with tight rhymes and slick DJ work from Mix Master Mike. The album wasn't just about sonic chaos—it carried deeper, more mature undertones, reflecting MCA’s growing interest in Buddhism and activism.

For many fans—and clearly for us here at Totally 80's and 90's Recall—Ill Communication stands as a definitive '90s album that refused to be boxed in. It’s wild, funny, political, and endlessly replayable. From punk mosh pits to chill jazz instrumentals like “Sabrosa,” the Beastie Boys proved they weren’t just rap pranksters from the '80s—they were legit musical craftsmen. The album captured the eclectic energy of the decade and the spirit of reinvention that defined the Beasties' career. Whether you're blasting “Sabotage” in your car or grooving to the funky vibes of “Flute Loop,” this one hits as hard now as it did in ‘94.

This week on Totally 80s and 90s Recall, Dave, Rob, and Kurt go full flannel as they rewind to 1995 and dive headfirst into Kevin Smith’s cult classic Mallrats—a movie that taught a generation never to trust a chocolate covered pretzel, stay out of the back of Volkswagens, and for the love of Stan Lee, fear the escalator

Our trio of podcasting mallrats unpacks the film's most unforgettable moments, from Brodie’s unapologetic comic book obsession to Jay and Silent Bob’s cartoonish chaos, Trish the Dish’s questionable book topic and why the hell is the guy at the Fashionable Male so angry all day?

Expect plenty of 90s nostalgia, deep dives into VHS-era fashion choices, and at least one wild discussion about the difference between the food court and mid mall snacking. Plus, why is it so hazardous being the Easter Bunny?

Whether you loved the movie or just hung out in a mall once in 1995, this episode's got your back like a security guard with a grudge and a walkie-talkie

1995 was a transitional year for what was known as “Alternative” music, as it started to become a melting pot of old and new styles in the post grunge world. Bands like Foo Fighters and Bush carried a little of the old grunge ideals, but with a more radio friendly style. Britpop and electronic based music started to become very popular. Huge albums from Alannis Morissette and The Smashing Pumpkins showed that songs about introspection, melody and evolution could be wildly popular. Also, with alternative bands having huge album sale numbers, Grammy wins and heavy rotation on MTV, the word alternative started to seem ironic. Alternative or indie rock had become mainstream and everyone had access, from angsty teens to their parents. Regardless of what it was called, the rock music of 1995 was still awesome. Call it alternative, or indie, or just rock. There was a plethora of styles, singers and bands to choose from and they were all very memorable. So this week we’re making a 1995 alternative playlist of our favorites from a great year. So strap on your Doc Martens and fire up your favorite CD on your detachable face car stereo and let’s jam out to some awesome music.

This week, we’re diving into the high-stakes, high-pressure world of Crimson Tide—the 1995 submarine thriller that pits two powerhouse performances against each other: Gene Hackman as a grizzled, old-school Navy captain, and Denzel Washington as his calm, calculated executive officer.

When a rogue Russian faction threatens nuclear war, the crew of the U.S.S. Alabama receives an incomplete order that could either prevent global catastrophe—or cause it. With the clock ticking and tension rising hundreds of feet below the surface, it’s a nerve-racking clash of command, ethics, and ego.

Directed by Tony Scott and scored by Hans Zimmer, Crimson Tide delivers pulse-pounding suspense and powerhouse drama, all set within the claustrophobic confines of a nuclear sub.

Join us as we break down the film’s unforgettable moments, the behind-the-scenes power struggles, and why this thriller still holds water 30 years later.

In this episode, we dive deep into one of the most iconic and meticulously produced rock albums of the 1980s — Def Leppard’s Hysteria. Released in 1987, this monster record took over the airwaves with a perfect blend of hard rock swagger, pop hooks, and groundbreaking production.

We break down the story behind the album’s creation — from Rick Allen’s triumphant return after losing his arm, to Mutt Lange’s obsessive studio perfectionism, to the chart-topping singles that turned Hysteria into a global phenomenon.

Tune in as we discuss:

Whether you’re a diehard Leppard fan or new to their sound, this episode is a full-throttle ride through one of rock’s boldest and most ambitious albums

If you were into pop, rock, hip hop, synth dance pop, alternative or just about anything the 80s had it right there waiting for you. This week, Dave and Rob take turns selecting a song from each year in the 80s for the other host. We’ll see which one knows the other's musical tastes better and enjoy some of the best songs of the 80s along the way. This playlist, once completed, will serve as your reminder of how great and diverse the 80s really were. So crank up the nostalgia and those emotional memories of being a kid as we head back to the era of Reagan, big hair and Just Say No to put together an awesome playlist from the 1980s.

This week we dive into the cult classic from 1995, Empire Records. This dramedy is set over the course of a single day at an independent record store in the mid 90’s. The store is staffed by an eclectic group of teenagers and young adults all dealing with their own problems while trying to save the store from being turned into a corporate Music Town. Dave, Rob and Kurt will rewatch this 90s classic and see if it still holds up and is as funny as when it first came out. From the characters to the plot to the killer soundtrack and music in the movie, Empire Records is a great snapshot of life for young folks in 1995. So Damn The Man, Save the Empire and hang out with us on Rex Manning Day as we avoid dwelling on anything sad or problematic as we hang out with Joe, Lucas, A.J., Corey, Gina, Deb, Warren and the rest as we get a sugar high with Empire Records.
