The 90s’ Rewind Report

In this episode of The 90s Rewind Report, hosts Michael Reagan & Nate Lane are back—and this week, they’re talking babies… literally. We’re diving into the Look Who’s Talking trilogy, the wildly unique comedy series that gave a voice to the thoughts of babies everywhere. From the original hit to its increasingly chaotic sequels, we break down the cast, the humor, the cultural impact, and how this concept became such a defining part of late ‘80s/early ‘90s pop culture. Plus, we’re dedicating this episode to two very special members of the 90s Rewind family— regular guest hosts; Bailey Decker Platt and Cameron Platt—who just welcomed their first baby! The timing couldn’t be more perfect, and we couldn’t be happier for them. So whether you grew up with these films or you’re revisiting them with fresh eyes, get ready for laughs, nostalgia, and a whole lot of baby commentary.

On this episode of The 90s Rewind Report "And The Oscar Didn't Go To (90s edition)", hosts Michael Reagan and Nate Lane are joined again by Season 1 alum host Brayden Decker for a nostalgic deep dive into the films the Academy overlooked—but audiences never forgot. From cult classics to critical darlings that somehow slipped through the cracks, the trio each selects one film per Oscar year that they believe deserved a nomination… or even a win. These are the “almosts,” the snubs, and the outright misses that still spark debate decades later. In Part 2, the guys cover the latter half of the decade, breaking down their picks from 1995 through 2000 (…or technically 1996 through 2001, because as they quickly realize mid-recording, the Oscars are always honoring the previous year’s films—whoops). Expect passionate defenses, a few surprises, and maybe even a little revisionist history as they give these forgotten favorites their long-overdue moment in the spotlight.

On Season 3, Episode 3 of The 90s Rewind Report, hosts Nate Lane & Michael Reagan take a trip back to late-night TV in the 1990s to break down the Top 13 longest-running shows on Nick at Nite during the decade—and trust us, a few of these picks might genuinely surprise you. Throughout the ’90s, Nick at Nite became more than just late-night reruns. It was a pop-culture time machine that introduced an entirely new generation of kids to the sitcoms and classics their parents grew up watching. For many millennials, this was their first encounter with TV legends they’d never seen before—often long after bedtime. Michael and Nate count down the shows that stuck around the longest on the Nick at Nite schedule during the decade, exploring why these particular series endured while others quietly faded away. Along the way, they share programming quirks, scheduling strategies, and a few behind-the-scenes tidbits about how Nick at Nite carefully curated its retro lineup. If you ever stayed up way too late, remote in hand, watching “just one more episode” of a black-and-white sitcom from the 1950s… this episode is definitely for you. 📺

When a Nostalgian makes a request, we listen! This week, Nate Lane is joined by longtime 90s Rewind Report listener and our friend, Tyler “Bones” Jones. Tyler requested a Weird Al episode, and we invited him on as a guest host to discuss his topic of choice! From recording accordion-driven parody songs in his early days to becoming one of the most recognizable comedy musicians of the modern era, Nate and Tyler trace Al’s rise through the ’80s and ’90s, the albums that defined a generation, and the moment he began shifting into more original music alongside his signature parodies. Told entirely from the perspective of two fans who grew up with his work, this episode celebrates the creativity, longevity, and cultural impact of the man who turned musical satire into an art form—and stayed relevant through every era of pop culture.

Season 3 of The 90s Rewind Report kicks off with a fascinating deep dive into the life and legacy of Scatman John, joined by his biographer, Gina Waggott. In this lively and heartfelt conversation, Gina talks to Michael and Nate as they explore the man behind the music, the challenges he overcame, and the story that transformed him from an unlikely performer into an international icon. Gina shares behind-the-scenes insights from writing Scatman John: The Remarkable Story of the World’s Unlikeliest Popstar, along with personal anecdotes, research discoveries, and what surprised her most about his journey. Expect laughs, genuine fan moments, and a thoughtful look at the cultural impact of an artist whose message of self-acceptance still resonates today.

A quick preview of our throwback chat with author Gina Waggott as she shares her favorite ’90s books, movies, trends, and childhood pop-culture picks. It’s a fun way to meet the woman behind Scatman John: The Remarkable Story of the World’s Unlikeliest Popstar—not as the author, but as a ’90s kid herself. Be sure to catch our full conversation this Friday "S03E01: The Story Behind the Scatman - A Conversation with Gina Waggott" where no topic from her book is off limits and she shines new light on a 90s icon!

Before the interview… before the book discussion… before the deep dive—this 'minisode' sets the stage. As Season 3 of The 90s Rewind Report approaches, Michael Reagan offers a brief introduction to the life and journey of Scatman John, the unlikeliest pop star whose joy, energy, and unmistakable sound took the world by surprise in the 1990s. Long before “Scatman (Ski-Ba-Bop-Ba-Dop-Bop)” and Scatman’s World, John faced a childhood marked by misunderstanding, trauma, and self-doubt—struggles that would later shape the performer the world came to know. This "minisode" offers a glimpse into the man behind the music and a taste of why his story matters. Later this month, author Gina Waggott will join the show to discuss her newly released book, Scatman John: The Remarkable Story of the World’s Unlikeliest Popstar. Consider this episode a short preview of what’s ahead—and a lead-in to a deeper conversation with Gina, coming soon.

In this episode of The 90s Rewind Report host Michael Reagan explores what it meant to grow up at the exact crossroads of analog childhood and digital adulthood. Kids born in the ’80s and ’90s didn’t just witness technological change — they lived through it. From rabbit-ear antennas and appointment television to dial-up internet, AIM away messages, and a time when AOL was the internet. From Friday nights at bowling alleys and sleepovers fueled by pizza and forbidden horror movies, to SNICK, TGIF, Nickelodeon, and Disney Channel shaping a shared cultural language. This episode dives into why this generation feels such a powerful pull toward nostalgia — not just emotionally, but physically. Why ’90s toys now sell for hundreds or thousands of dollars. Why we rebuy movies and albums we already own, even while paying for multiple streaming services. Why ownership still matters to a generation raised on finite media and off switches. At its core, The In-Between Generation isn’t about longing for the past — it’s about presence. About what was lost when everything became instant, infinite, and always on.

In this special bonus minisode, The 90s Rewind Report spotlights a solo episode hosted by Michael Reagan, taking listeners on a nostalgic deep dive into the rise, evolution, and eventual fall of some of the most iconic communication devices of the 1990s. From payphones on every corner to pagers clipped proudly to belts and backpacks, and early cellphones that made texting feel more like decoding than typing, this episode covers it all. Michael also shares a personal throwback story about his very first phone — a model that many teens in the late ’90s will instantly recognize as one they likely owned themselves. Along the way, the minisode tackles the important questions: What’s the real difference between a standalone payphone and a phone booth? Is it called a pager, or is it actually a beeper? And how did ’90s kids manage to text without a touchscreen or virtual keyboard? Whether you grew up with these devices or are just fascinated by how quickly technology evolved, this bonus episode is a fun, nostalgic look back at a pre-smartphone world. Stay tuned for more bonus content as we transition into Season 3!

In the Season 2 Finale of The 90s Rewind Report, hosts Michael Reagan and Nate Lane ring in the New Year by spotlighting three underrated New Year’s Eve–themed films from the 1990s: Dick Tracy, The Hudsucker Proxy, and Four Rooms. Breaking their usual decade-only rule, the hosts also make a special exception for an ’80s classic that holds a sacred place in the hearts of many ’90s kids. That’s right—Ghostbusters II. Trust us, you’ll forgive them. The episode also clears the air on why the originally planned Season 2 finale, “ANOTHER Very 90s Podcast Christmas Special,” didn’t air as scheduled, making this episode a proper (and overdue) makeup finale to close out the season.

This week on The 90s Rewind Report, Nate and Michael are taking a trip back to the days when slime flowed freely, big orange splat logos were everywhere, and dream vacations always included Florida. In this special Nickelodeon November minisode, we rewind to Nickelodeon Studios Orlando — the beating heart of 90s kids’ TV magic. We dig into the studio’s origins at Universal Studios Florida, the vision behind making Nickelodeon a place where kids could literally walk into the world of their favorite shows, and the iconic series filmed there — from Clarissa Explains It All to Legends of the Hidden Temple, Double Dare, Nick Arcade, Roundhouse, All That, and more. We also talk about the behind-the-scenes tours, the slime geyser, and that unforgettable blue-and-green paint job that made the building feel like a cartoon come to life. Plus, Nate shares his own personal nostalgia story of visiting the studios in the mid-90s — complete with crowd warm-ups, slime demonstrations, and a moment that felt like stepping directly into the TV. Nate and Michael are also still buzzing from last weeks celebrity guest; David Sidoni! Short, sweet, slimy, and packed with memories — it's a love letter to the epicenter of 90s Nickelodeon culture.

This week on The 90s Rewind Report, we’re joined by a true 90s legend — David Sidoni! You may remember him dancing across the screen in Disney’s Newsies, cracking up audiences on Nickelodeon’s Roundhouse during the original SNICK era, or even popping up as a background dancer in Michael Jackson’s iconic “Black or White” music video. Since his days in the spotlight, David has stepped into what he calls the third act of his life — becoming a successful realtor and the host of the hit podcast How To Buy A Home, where he helps first-time homebuyers navigate the real estate world with honesty, clarity, and real-life experience. But today, David is stepping into the time machine with hosts Michael Reagan & Nate Lane to revisit the golden age of Nickelodeon and 90s pop culture. We talk Roundhouse, Newsies, working with the King of Pop, behind-the-scenes stories, and the legacy of the era that shaped a generation.

Get ready, Nostalgians! Before this week’s full episode drops, we’re giving you a sneak peek at our chat with Nickelodeon alum David Sidoni — part of the original Roundhouse cast, dancer in Disney’s Newsies, and even featured in a Michael Jackson video. These days, he’s the host of the hit podcast How to Buy a Home, but his 90s roots run deep. In this clip David talks something every 90s kid who watched SNICK has been wondering for decades... what happened to the Roundhouse chair?!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN NOSTALGIANS! Join Nate Lane and Michael Reagan as they dive into the spooky origins of The Simpsons’ annual Halloween tradition in this special episode of The 90s Rewind Report. We’re revisiting Season 2, Episode 3 (“Treehouse of Horror”)—the very first “Treehouse” special—where Bart and Lisa tell ghost stories in their treehouse, and the viewer is treated to three wildly different horror-parody segments: “Bad Dream House” – The Simpsons purchase a bargain haunted house and quickly discover that the house is less thrilled to have them than they are to have it. “Hungry Are the Damned” – When Kang, Kodos & co. abduct the Simpsons for what appears to be a feast… turns out the mischief might lie closer to home than the stars. “The Raven” – A near-verbatim adaptation of Edgar Allan Poe’s classic poem, starring Homer as the tortured narrator and Bart as the raven perched on the bust of Pallas. Nate and Michael break down each segment with plot summary, discuss how the tone and format set the template for years of future episodes, compare the scares and laughs, and throw in some fun ’90s context about animation and pop-culture. Whether you remember watching this one as a kid or are hearing it for the first time, it’s a ghoulish gem worth revisiting.

In this 90s Rewind Minisode, Nate takes the reins to slice into the origins of Scream (1996) — the film that single-handedly revived a dying genre. Before Ghostface ever asked, “What’s your favorite scary movie?”, there were decades of horror classics paving the way. Nate looks back at the slasher boom of the late ’70s and early ’80s, how the genre lost its edge by the decade’s end, and the spark that Scream brought back to horror. He also explores how the movie came to life — from the early drafts to the big names almost attached to the project — and what made Wes Craven’s final version such a game-changer.

In this episode of the 90s Rewind Report Michael & Nate spend the night with Eric Forman & Company. The two rewatch That ’70s Show Season 2, Episode 5, “Halloween,” which originally aired October 26, 1999. The gang decides to spend the spooky night exploring their old burned-down grammar school. Fez shows up dressed as Batman, and before their creepy adventure, we see a quick montage of the crew taking him trick-or-treating and catching a showing of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Once inside the abandoned school, they stumble upon their old permanent records—and that’s when things get messy. One by one, they read each other’s files, uncovering embarrassing secrets that lead to hurt feelings, arguments, and plenty of classic That ’70s Show comedy chaos.

If you went trick-or-treating today, would your favorite 90s candy still make it into your pumpkin pail — or is it haunting the candy cemetery? In this sweet and spooky minisode, Michael digs up some long-lost treats from the decade of neon and Nickelodeon, including the Nestlé Quik Bar, Ouch! Bubble Gum, Butterfinger BB’s, Fruit String Thing, and more. Grab your flashlights and your sweet tooth — we’re unwrapping memories, one discontinued candy at a time. 🕯️ Because not every 90s snack had a happy ending.

On this episode of The 90s Rewind Report, Michael Reagan and Nate Lane take a stab at unraveling one of horror’s most confusing—but fascinating—franchises: Halloween. From the 1978 original that redefined slasher cinema to the endless reboots, sequels, and multiverse timelines that followed, the guys break down how Halloween splintered into multiple realities. They explore the three (or four, depending who you ask) major timelines, the Rob Zombie reimagining that divided fans, and Halloween III: Season of the Witch—the bizarre standalone entry that ditched Michael Myers altogether in favor of killer masks and cult conspiracies. We’re sorting out Halloween’s tangled timelines once and for all. So whether you’re a casual fan trying to make sense of it all or a horror buff who’s seen every timeline reset, this episode carves through the chaos with humor, nostalgia, and plenty of pumpkin spice. 🎃

On this episode of The 90s Rewind Report, hosts Michael & Nate proudly embrace their inner “back in my day” energy for a trip down memory lane. "Halloween Back in Our Day..." Remember those 1990s Halloweens when costumes came from the drugstore aisle, candy trading was serious business, and you actually had to walk door-to-door for your sugar haul? The guys compare old-school Halloweens of the ’90s to the modern-day trunk-or-treat era — poking fun at how convenience has replaced chaos, and how somewhere along the way, spooky got a little too safe. Grab your plastic pumpkin pail and join in as they prove that sometimes, the old ways really were the best (or at least, the stickiest). 🎃

So tonight, we surrender… and let AI tell the story instead. If you’re hearing this, it means the curse hasn’t claimed the audio—yet. Listener beware!

This week’s episode wasn’t exactly what Michael & Nate had planned. We were finally ready to unleash a spooky-season kickoff we first recorded back in Season 1—but after a year of delays, tech issues, and more do-overs than a haunted VHS tape, the episode just would not cooperate. At this point, we’re convinced it’s cursed. 👻 So instead, host Michael Reagan thought it was the perfect time to turn the mic toward our listeners who might be thinking of starting a podcast themselves. After two seasons, 40 episodes, and plenty of lessons learned the hard way, Michael is sharing everything he has picked up along his own podcast journey—the good, the bad, and the “did that file really just delete itself?” moments.

Real Monsters, and Hey Arnold!, all the way to the stylized absurdity of CatDog, The Angry Beavers, and Rocket Power. Meanwhile, Michael and Lilly drop their own slime-covered takes, sharing laugh-out-loud personal stories, favorite catchphrases, and the occasional “Did that really happen?” moment. From the existential dread of Ren & Stimpy to the urban heart of Hey Arnold, every show gets its due—and a few deep cuts (looking at you, Kablam!) make surprise appearances too. Whether you were a Cynthia-wielding Angelica fan or a Donnie-from-Wild Thornberrys chaos goblin, this episode has a little something for every 90s kid who ever begged their parents for just one more episode. So grab your Fruit Gushers, get comfy on that beanbag chair, and hit play—because it’s time to Rewind & Slime.
