Totally 80s and 90s Recall

This week on Totally 80s and 90s Recall, Rob and Dave tackle the ultimate pop-rock showdown: Phil Collins versus his own band, Genesis. In an era where Phil seemed to be everywhere at once, the guys break down the friendly—and highly lucrative—rivalry that defined the airwaves of the 80s and early 90s, weighing the massive success of Phil’s solo hits against the experimental stadium anthems that kept Genesis at the top of the charts.

Join the guys as they curate their own "essential" playlist for both the man and the band, debating the songs that truly defined the decade. From chart-topping ballads to the drum-heavy tracks that changed the sound of pop forever, Rob and Dave dive deep into the legacy of a musical powerhouse who managed to compete against himself and win, leaving listeners to decide: when it comes to the soundtrack of a generation, who truly wore the crown?

"I am a F.B.I. Agent!" This week, we’re paddling out into the 50-year storm to revisit the 1991 adrenaline-fueled masterpiece, Point Break. It’s a film that shouldn’t work on paper—a Zen-philosophical surfing heist movie—yet it somehow redefined the action genre. From the high-stakes "Ex-Presidents" bank robberies to Gary Busey’s unhinged energy, we’re breaking down why this Kathryn Bigelow classic remains the ultimate high-octane trip through early 90s cinema.

The Movie Hound joins Dave and Rob to dive into the wild casting rumors, the "less than nothing" philosophy of the script, and the legendary stunts that made this a cult favorite. We explore the bromance between Johnny Utah and Bodhi and discuss how a movie this absurd managed to become a genuine masterpiece. Grab your board and join us as we decide if this is a spiritual experience or just life’s sick sense of humor. Vaya con Dios, brah!

Forget "Footloose" and "Danger Zone"—Dave and Rob are digging into the 80s movie deep cuts you forgot you loved. This isn't your average Top 10; it’s a high-octane countdown of the best "non-mainstream" tracks to ever grace the silver screen.

In this episode, the guys bypass the obvious radio hits like "Ghostbusters" and "The Power of Love" to celebrate the under-the-radar anthems and moody synth masterpieces that defined 80s cinema. From cult classic montages to the songs that gave indie sleepers their soul, Dave and Rob debate which tracks truly captured the era's magic without leaning on the Billboard charts. Whether it’s a gritty rock track from a forgotten action flick or a shimmering pop gem from a teen drama, they’re proving that the best movie music often lives in the shadows of the blockbusters.
