90’s Mixtapes: A 90’s nostalgia podcast

June 1993 Music: RuPaul, Collective Soul, Flaming Lips, Prince turns himself into a symbol

June 1993 brought us Flaming Lip's quirky little song "She Don't Use Jelly", RuPaul's drag anthem "Supermodel", and Collective Soul's "Shine." We talk a little about The Artist Formally Known as Prince and what the symbol was all about. And 90's Trivia isn't looking great for Jen. 

May 1993 Movies: Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story, Dave and Cliffhanger

This week we watched Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story and chat a little about the other over movies that game out this month including Cliffhanger and Dave. Trivia's not going well for one of us these days.

May 1993 Potpourri: Haircutgate ft. Hair Force One, and them murders behind the West Memphis 3

When do you remember Cindo de Mayo being a thing for non-Mexican Americans? Have you heard of Haircutgate? Is it morally wrong to sell alcohol to minors? We ask all of these questions and more before we discuss the horrible case that's behind the West Memphis 3. Oh and one of us is ahead in 90's trivia. 

May 1993 TV: The Cheers Finale!

Today we're talking about the Cheers finale as well as series finales in general. What do we think the best series finale was? How many people tuned into the Cheers finale vs. how many tuned in to the Game of thrones finale? Some other note-worthy TV sitcoms that ended this month include Designing Women, Life Goes On, Quantum Leap, SAVED BY THE BELL, and The Wonder Years. Spoiler - someone wins this week of trivial pursuit questions, so listen up to see who is now in the lead. Awesome sauce.

May 1993 Music: Janet Jackson, Blur, P.J. Harvey, Rancid and Run-D.M.C.

We're chatting about music again and this time, like many times, it all ends with Andrew Lloyd Webber and Pat's childhood family car dynamics. And how old exactly was Professor Lasky? We don't know but his romance with Kelly Kapowski sure did seem inappropriate. And what Janet Jackson songs you think are common listening that just might not be... so tune in! (Get it?!)

April 1993 Movies: The Crush and Benny and Joon

On this week's episode of 90's Mixtapes we get our Johnny Depp and Alicia Silverstone fix by watching Benny and Joon and The Crush. Pat points out all the gaping holes in the plot of The Crush and Jen tries to explain the plot of Dragon, A Bruce Lee Story without having seen it. We also touch on The Sandlot and Indecent Proposal. Cool Beans.

April 1993 Potpourri: The Waco Siege

30 years ago the Waco Siege came to a tragic end, and we talk about it on today's episode of 90's Mixtapes.

April 1993 TV: Conan O’brien, Fantasy 1993 late night show

This week we talk a little about The Conan O'brien Show, what our dream late night show would entail, and our school field trips to court and jail. We wrap it up with a little 90s trivia like usual and call it a day.

April 1993 Music: Tool, Aerosmith, David Bowie and Radiohead

We're talking about the iconic Aerosmith videos for Crying', Crazy and Amazing from their album Get a Grip, as well as Tool's Undertow and their video for Sober, and Radiohead's Pablo Honey and the masterpiece that is Creep. As always the episode wraps up with some 90's Trivial Pursuit. Whoomp, there it is!

Fifth Friday Special:1993 in Video Games!

We're talking arcade games, console games, and PC games. We jump in our x-wing and take you back to simpler times when 5 dollars could keep you occupied at an arcade for hours, and you went to Blockbuster to rent Mario Kart. Street Fighter II, Mortal Kombat's Fatalities, NHL 94, Myst, Doom, Sonic 2 (with Tails!!), are just some of the games we talk about on this special little episode.
