Stuck in the 90s

We reunite after a year and a half to do some 90s music trivia Connor got for Christmas.

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 we knew that as soon as we hit the stop button, it would be over. Thanks for being Stuck in the 90s with us!

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

We're not giving anything away. Enjoy the show!

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 our round of 8. Which ones went where? You'll have to listen to find out! This week's episode is brought to you by winners, and the absolute fact that they definitely don't do drugs. Oh, and Stuck in the 90s is also going extinct in a few weeks. So there's that.

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 tournament is a roller coaster of emotion. This week's episode is brought to you by the 80's horror movie podcast Neon Brainiacs. Check their show out at http://neonbrainiacs.libsyn.com/! They've also got a band called Pummelled which you can find at http://pummeled.bandcamp.com/. Wanna be a $10 episode sponsor? Drop us a line at stuckinthe90spodcast@gmail.com for more info.

  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. Dive into this episode because round 1 is complete and there are some STUNNERS in there! We (Connor) may refer to you all as "monsters" a bunch of times...you'll have to listen to find out (but he did).   Wanna be a $10 episode sponsor?

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 Warped Tour. The reboot of Reboot is real. The Game Genie has a long and storied history. There are many 90s dinosaurs and they're in a March Madness bracket/fight to the death.  There's a lot going on this week, so dive right in! Wanna be a $10 sponsor? Drop us a line at stuckinthe90spodcast@gmail.com for more info!  

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 find out who. Dinosaurs are also very much on our minds, and we also take a good look into the Winter Olympics of the 90s! We're at least 60% sure that Albertville is a real place. Want to be a $10 sponsor? Drop us a line at stuckinthe90spodcast@gmail.com for more info!

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 brought to you by television show characters who go through traumatic events one episode and seem entirely unfazed the next. Remarkable. Wanna be a $10/taco episode sponsor? Drop us a line at stuckinthe90spodcast@gmail.com for more info!

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 sponsorship segment may help...or make you hungry. Sponsor an episode for $10 and we'll give you a plug on the show! Drop us a line at stuckinthe90spodcast@gmail.com for more info.

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. UNBELIEVABLE. Sponsor an episode for $10 and we'll give you a plug during the show! Drop us a line at stuckinthe90spodcast@gmail.com for more info.

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 chocolate bar regardless of what Chris may tell you. Wanna sponsor an episode and hear us plug your wares? Drop us a line at stuckinthe90spodcast@gmail.com for more info!

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 utilitarian way to enjoy a chewy delight. This week's cosponsors are Ben Savage and Rider Strong (the names, not the people). They're seriously cool names. Sponsor an episode for the low low price of $10! Drop us a line at stuckinthe90spodcast@gmail.com for details.

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.

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 relevance to the 90s. We'll be able to do a deeper dive on interesting people/places/things, which we think it will keep the show fresh for many nostalgic episodes to come. If you'd like to sponsor an episode, drop us a line at stuckinthe90spodcast@gmail.com for more info!

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)!

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 meaning of "I smell burnt toast". SERIOUSLY THOUGH. HORSES. ON. COCAINE. Wanna sponsor an episode for $10? Drop us a line at stuckinthe90spodcast@gmail.com for more info!

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 whole file froze and was lost to the sands of time. The episode was edited AGAIN and no computers were thrown out of second story windows, contrary to our feelings on the matter. Wanna sponsor an episode for $10? Drop us a line for details, stuckinthe90spodcast@gmail.com

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 then gets into why he thinks there isn't any good new Christmas music being made, and it's a pretty compelling argument.  Last but not least, this episode is brought to you by our favourite Sega cartridge, Sonic and Knuckles! Wanna be a $10 sponsor? Hit us up at stuckinthe90spodcast@gmail.com for more info on how to give us $10 so we can plug your stuff on the show.

Connor is off this week because he just got married! Chris follows through with the story of Antz vs. A Bug's Life from last week.  We'll be back next week with our regular thing. 

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 bright on the wonderful benefits that poison brought into our lives. Are we talking about the band or the chemical group? Tune in to find out! Sponsor an episode for $10 and we'll plug your wares! Hit us up at stuckinthe90spodcast@gmail.com for more info.

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 REAL. Things pick up with this week's episode of Seinfeld, our 90s spotlight on Contra 3, and our video game-related sponsor! We finished on a high note and that's what matters (assuming you make it that far). Wanna be a $10 sponsor? Drop us a line at stuckinthe90spodcast@gmail.com for more info!

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 meals, and other frozen delicacies! This week's episode is brought to you by a familiar old jingle. Some would call it green, others would call it giant, and some may even call it both! You'll have to listen to find out. Sponsor an episode for the surprisingly reasonable price of $10 (or equivalent tacos)! Drop us a line at stuckinthe90spodcast@gmail.com for more info.

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 about a few popular fears and how they were perpetuated. Wanna sponsor an episode for the low low price of $10 (or equivalent tacos)?

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 important (to him, at least). Godspeed to the rest of you trying to do the same! Episode 43 is brought to you by stopping, collaborating, and listening. It's so important. Want to sponsor an episode? Send us $10 and we'll make it happen!

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 Impodcast! Their show digs into our favourite home improvement tv show, Home Improvement. They do interviews with stars of the show and cover Tim Allen's other 90s work as well. It's really good stuff.

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 be a $10 sponsor? Email us at stuckinthe90spodcast@gmail.com for more info!

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 brought to you by John Lithgow's face. It was around in the 90s and it's still here today! Bask in his wonderful, emotive ambiance. Wanna be a $10 sponsor?

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!

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 loading up on supplies that no longer exist. We talk about a few of those and fondly remember how most of them actually sucked. Want to sponsor an episode? Drop us a line at stuckinthe90spodcast@gmail.com and we'll make it happen!

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 GET YOUR SHIT TOGETHER.

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.

Truly upsetting. :( If you'd like to be a $10 sponsor drop us a line at stuckinthe90spodcast@gmail.com for more info!

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.

Drop us a line at stuckinthe90spodcast@gmail.com and we'll make your dream come true.

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 by the fees they charged for not rewinding your VHS tapes. Be a $10 sponsor (stuckinthe90spodcast@gmail.com) and we'll pay your VHS late fee.* *We won't.

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 warfare didn't catch on, but you can't win 'em all. Want to be a ten dollar sponsor? Drop us a line at stuckinthe90spodcast@gmail.com for details!

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.com

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 you by computer illiteracy: a reasonable excuse at the time and Chris rants on how it’s considerably less acceptable now.

This week some strange things are showing up in Pepsi cans, a religious group is trying to build a 300 foot pyramid in Colorado, and someone cuts off a dick.   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, forever making you think you have a good deal while you really have a pile of garbage. If you'd like to be a $10 sponsor, you know what to do. But for a limited time (until we don't care anymore) show us proof you've bought WinRAR and you can be our sponsor for free. stuckinthe90spodcast@gmail.com

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 brought to you by the ungodly device that held your cassettes in your car. Function over form with those things. Want to be a $10 sponsor? We'll plug your wares! Drop us a line at stuckinthe90spodcast@gmail.com

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, present and what we hope is the future.   Stuck in the 90s is brought to you by something probably.

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 is difficult, y'know? This week's episode is brought to you by the feather in Super Mario World, the heroin of the Mario universe. Sure it starts out with one quick feather to get through a tough spot, but then you find yourself turning tricks at Toad's Turnpike just for one more hit. Shame on you. SHAME. Want to be a $10 sponsor? Hit us up at stuckinthe90spodcast@gmail.com for more info! *Connor apologizes for his audio quality, he had to record with a pair of microphone earbuds.

Episode 21 is brought to you via Skype for the next two weeks, how fun! This week we get into the Hubble Telescope, cocaine, fidget spinners, and some other things. If you'd like to be a ten dollar sponsor, hit us up at stuckinthe90spodcast@gmail.com 

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 came to choosing things. This podcast is brought to you by embarrassing rap commercials, something that was (somehow) thought of as a good idea. Hit us up if you'd like to be a $10 sponsor, stuckinthe90spodcast@gmail.com 

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! stuckinthe90spodcast@gmail.com

This week Bill Gates sells a million Microsoft shares, Denny’s says they’re sorry, and porn executives come to a decision. We take a gander at a TV show no one remembers, look at the episodes of Seinfeld and The Simpsons that aired this week, and talk about collectible items in the 90s. Stuck in the 90s wishes we were brought to you by Sock'em Boppers.  Be an actual $10 sponsor, shoot us an email to stuckinthe90spodcast@gmail.com
