Our final episode is brought to you by the man who created the intro we've used for nearly each episode, Eric Muir! You can find him on Upwork and he also has a band called GUITARFIRE100, check out his work! Being our finale episode, this one is a bit longer than all the others. We get a little repetitive toward the end but I think that's because w…

This week's episode takes a fond look back at Kevin Smith's four 90s movies, and we briefly discuss his peculiar choice in attire. Why his iteration of "fuck you money" is backwards hats, hockey jerseys, and jorts, we may never know. Oh and March Dino Madness is down to the final round! AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH Hosted on Acast. See acast.com…

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles was one of the more memorable movies of the 90s and it almost didn't get made! This week we take a fond look back at it, from the insane costumes to the great theme song and some other things in between. March Dino Madness is so intense right now. SO INTENSE. Some dinos have met their bitter end, and some trudge on into…

Super Metroid was a really cool game, and we take a good look at it this week and fondly discuss how dope Samus Aran is. So dope. Did you know that there were YTV pogs? We didn't either and it's upsetting. Oh yeah, and the results are in for March Dino Madness. Connor was upset for a while then not upset at all but then a bit upset again. This tour…

This week's show is brought to you by chalk boards. They suck. Our spotlight shone bright on punk in the 90s with a focus on our favourite pop punk band of the decade, Blink-182. Thoroughly good shit. We also discuss Google's latest fun little creation, Google Maps Mario. It's fun. Oh, and there's this March Dino Madness thing we've been doing. Div…

Episode 9 is brought to you by Connor's 2009 Macbook Pro, which he has managed to not hit with a hammer despite a feverish desire to do so. It's also (but actually) brought to you by the slap bass from Seinfeld. This one is so nice we recorded it twice! That's not really true. Rush Hour 4 is apparently a thing. The sun is finally setting on the War…

This week's episode is brought to you by how absolutely terrible touchscreens were in the 90s. Seriously. They were so flippin' bad we don't understand why people even bought them. TERRIBLE. We finally get back to music and talk a bit about Radiohead, a band which neither of us really understand. Remember the Jerky Boys? One of us does! Tune in to …

Episode 7 comes in mild, hot, fire, or verde! The Taco Bell dog has a pretty interesting history, and that's all we have to say about that (except we say much more in the episode). This week also touches on our plans for an all-90s dinosaur March Madness style bracket. If that doesn't get you excited WHY ARE YOU EVEN HERE? Stuck in the 90s is broug…

This week focuses on one of our favourite games, Super Mario 3! Listen in as we fondly remember this all-time classic and Connor confuses Super Mario World and Super Mario All-Stars. More on that next week. We also learned that Sabrina the Teenage Witch is getting a gritty reboot. Seriously. Remember Chicken Tonight? If you don't, this week's spons…

This episode dives into those pesky AOL cds and how they came to populate the counter of every corner store in the world during the 90s. We also discuss the glory that was Street Fighter and how it caused the fighting game genre to explode. Finally we set our sights on HitClips, a truly mind-boggling product that may or may not be from the 1990s. U…

This week covers all the Super Bowls in the 1990s. Come with us on this shitshow journey while we fondly remember why we try to forget the Buffalo Bills' glory years. Ugh. Ice Cube once had a good day, and we get to the bottom of when that probably was. This week's episode is brought to you by a classic commercial for Butterfinger, the world's best…
  continue reading
 
Episode 3 covers our favourite 90s passtime, Pogs! We give you the potential origin stories, discuss what Pogs we own(ed), and get into a glorious list of the 10 most rare and sought after Pogs on the planet. There are dozens of people who still collect 'em! Were you a fan of Bubble Tape? We definitely were. It was gum in the form of tape, a utilit…

SPOILER FLIPPIN' ALERT We discuss Tonya Harding in this episode, hold off on this one if you have no idea about how that all unfolded and plan on seeing "I, Tonya". We also talk about prime numbers and sitting in the smoking section! Have two things ever been less related? You'll have to tune in to find out. Sponsor an episode for a crisp $10 bill,…

Welcome to season 3 of Stuck in the 90s! We're bidding a fond farewell to the show format of yesteryear by mixing it up this season. What exactly will it look like moving forward, you ask? We'd love to tell you but we don't really know ourselves. Here's what we do know: Each episode will focus on a topic or two (or three maybe?) that holds relevanc…

The final episode of season 2 is available for your downloading pleasure. We recorded this right before Christmas, so keep that in mind. This week covers all the usual fun stuff, but we also announced some exciting news regarding the format of the show. Season 3 is going to be our best yet (we hope)! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more …

This week's news is really rough. We've got a murder, we've got a drug villa, we've got teenage Christmas wishlists, and we've got RACEHORSES ON COCAINE! We go through our usual movies and music segments, and Connor explains why he can't get into Christmas music while Chris explains why he can. We also discuss the 92 Sears toy catalogue and the mea…

This week's news involves Y2K, a Russian submarine, pop.com, and more! We also discuss some movies and some musics. The spotlight is a fond look back to the Toys R Us 1996 Christmas flyer and the episode is brought to you by a fine local dining establishment. We're writing these notes quickly because we were almost done editing the episode when the…

Welcome back! We cover nearly two full weeks of news this episode, gotta make up for lost time. Some of the news is sad, some is upbeat, and there's a story about how some high school kids dug up the body of a soldier from the War of 1812. It's weird. Connor tells the story of how he watched Adam Sandler play basketball. It's pretty neat. Chris the…

This week dives into a few interesting stories about Microsoft, AOL, Rugrats, and Nintendo! We also discuss the benefits of unlimited beer (many) and drawbacks of running a 10K without unlimited beer (also many). Did you know that they're making a movie out of the video game Rampage?! The Rock is in it, as one would expect. Our 90s spotlight shines…

This week kicks off on the wrong foot but quickly rebounds...no it doesn't, actually. This was a shit week for news. Sorry about that. Movies and music isn't great either. Oh, and Connor forgot to bring the microphone so we had to use Chris's which is definitely meant for one person. We tried. We really tried. THE STRUGGLE WAS AND CONTINUES TO BE R…

This week gets into car phone accessories, Magic Johnson, Disney's quest for public financing, and temporarily impoverished Hollywood elites. It was a wild week. We also discuss how frozen foods have come a long, long way since the 1990s. We of course cover pizza, Hot Pockets (which are decidedly not pizza but are very much pizza-like), Hungryman m…
  continue reading
 
This week's episode takes a course on flirting, learns of a weird Japanese cult, and laughs about a cougar in the White House. It's not what you think (this time). We also talk about the role that C+C Music Factory played in a Montreal man's $149 ticket for, well, you'll have to listen to the episode. What were you afraid of in the 90s? We talk abo…
  continue reading
 
This week's episode tries Bill Clinton on for size! ...we know. We also discuss the recovery of 5000 stolen Barbie dolls, and regretfully inform you that the world did not end this week as one South Korean religious movement predicted. Maybe next time. Connor thoroughly explains how he got his hands on a Super Nintendo Classic and why it's so impor…

This week gets into fake news dinosaurs, a lost cello, the Intel chime, and the best way to capture kids (but please don't actually do that)! We also discuss the joy of playing McDonalds Monopoly as kid in the 90s, and the immense sadness that fell upon us when we learned that it was all a lie. Stuck in the 90s is brought to you by The Home Impodca…
  continue reading
 
This week's episode gets into how McDonalds expanded into China, how the KKK used a Mister Rogers impersonator to make racist phone calls, and how Steven Seagal really wants an Oscar. There's a lot going on here. We also talk about how Flatliners is flatlining and why Star Wars video games are excellent (but sometimes bad). Can't win 'em all. Wanna…

This episode gets into JenniCAM, Mike Tyson, Cassini, and the Oscar Meyer Wienermobile! This week is great. The spotlight dives deep into reliving our youth by rebuying it. We discuss how you're going to need some serious cold hard cash if you want to get your hands on a Nintendo 64, and the joy of opening a box of trading cards. Episode 40 is brou…
  continue reading
 
This week is full of Clinton jokes, death fences, and Barbie conspiracies. Actually just one Barbie conspiracy, and it's not really even a conspiracy...it's a happening, maybe? It's definitely a thing that happened, that much we do know. This week's episode is brought to you BY MENNEN! That's right, this week's episode comes courtesy of a tagline g…

This week covers Fat Joe's legal troubles, some new tv shows, and a hand transplantation. We also discuss some fun trivia about Rush Hour and peculiar movie tie-in songs. This episode of Stuck in the 90s is brought to you by crushing sadness (you'll see what we mean). Wanna be a $10 episode sponsor? Drop us a line at stuckinthe90spodcast@gmail.com …

This week covers walking for literacy (and pizza), a possible conspiracy, microwaving ducks, and North Korea becoming a UN member country. Fantastic. We also discuss the new Magic School Bus and what it must have been like to buy engagement rings in the 90s. Those are very different topics. Episode 37 is brought to you by Lyle from The Amazing Adve…
  continue reading
 
This week covers cocaine, arson, Reader's Digest, and more arson in the 90s! What a time to be alive (and likely in prison). We also go through some really interesting behind-the-scenes facts about the making of Forrest Gump, and discuss the merits of the Lion King Soundtrack. It has many merits. So meritous. Going back to school in the 90s meant l…
  continue reading
 
This week covers a mega(plex) construction project, the royal divorce, a 90s video game trilogy, and a little website called Happy Puppy. Dance Mix 96 is a thing but not really. We also take a disappointed look into the reprisal of the NES and SNES, it's great that they're being brought back BUT A WASTE OF MY TIME IF WE CAN'T BUY ONE NINTENDO SO GE…
  continue reading
 
This week we get into the plague, FBI composite sketch technology, Wayne Newton, and the monorail! We also get a bit off-topic in this one, sorry about that. We'll be better next week we swear. Our spotlight is on swimming pools and our sponsor is apparently very difficult to find online. Truly upsetting. :( If you'd like to be a $10 sponsor drop u…
  continue reading
 
This week covers MANY actors with three names. You've got your Robert Downey Juniors, your Sarah Michelle Gellars, your Richard Dean Andersons...mostly just those three. We also get into cyberhacking and Y2K, a really strong list of songs, and the instant gratification of Polaroid cameras. Want us to plug your wares on the show? Be a $10 sponsor by…

This week gets a little bit gruesome in the news but luckily a burrito saves the day! Szechuan sauce is in the news again and we have a long discussion on what sunshine meant in the 90s.

Drop us a line at stuckinthe90spodcast@gmail.com and w…

This week we talk about “gang attire”, something else that might get you actual street cred (but is not advisable), and GM closing some plants. We look through a list of 90s cereal and share our own experiences and memories that have been etched in our souls by heartless marketers, which was the style of the time. Stuck in the 90s is brought to you…
  continue reading
 
This week gets into breast implants, reading difficulties, weird error messages, and Canadian content! OH. BOY. We also did a deep dive on GoldenEye 007, one of our favourite video games. It's got a really interesting story and was the grandfather of all first-person shooters so what's not to love? It's a real shame that proximity mine video game w…
  continue reading
 
This week a bunch of stuff happens including a geyser of fire in New York, people go to Mexico for rohypnol and Wannabe debuts (which is awesome). We talk about SUVs and why we don't like their invasion of the late 90s and the internet lets us down, but we'll leave that for when you get to it this week. Drop us a line! stuckinthe90spodcast@gmail.co…

This week TV executives think The Jetsons count as educational programming, time gains a second, and internet metaphors start getting out of hand. We talk a little about the Flintstones movies, one of the finest cartoon to live action adaptations of our time and then talk about our fond memories of cars of the 90s. Stuck in the 90s is brought to yo…

Also Raven was up to some stuff this week. Chris shares his feelings on Marky Mark’s Good Vibrations and we pay tribute to the talking cats of the 90s. This week is brought to you by shareware…

This week is all about rhyme, mostly just Air Zaire and "If it doesn't fit, you must acquit." We get into Ticketmaster and Pearl Jam, Michael Jackson's latest success, and a man stopping by his work with a gun. Don't do that. We also dive into the history of Starter Jackets, a fashion staple of the 90s. THEY WERE THE COOLEST. This week's episode is…

We're back in one place and ready to talk about the week. Bees are being trained to detect land mines, President Clinton appoints a new ambassador and Internet Explorer is the new browser king. The Hollywood premiere of Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me was this week, so we figured now would be a good time to reflect on the series’ past, presen…

This week's show is 70% brought to you from Niagara Falls, 28% from an airbnb 10 minutes south of Denver, and 2% from a Starbucks 5 minutes east of that airbnb. What fun! We get into a new offering from Apple, a Julie Andrews flub we didn't know about, rats, and space junk! We're also bringing you two different mini-spotlights. Recording from afar …

Episode 20 is late but great (or at least average)! This week Bill Clinton attends a birthday party, HP thinks they know how to make the internet better with the power of 3D, and everyone is scared of Marilyn Manson. We talk about the Seinfeld episode "Summer of George" which aired this week, and we also discuss how few options there were when it c…

This week a lawsuit was dropped against Ozzy Osborne, a woman sues BMW and thousands of tax refunds spill onto a freeway. We talk about how the dump sucks now and remember how awesome big arcade racing games were. This week is brought to you by the many flannel shirts of Al Borland. If you would like to be a $10 sponsor, you can. Get at us! stuckin…
