Retro Roundhouse

Pokemon - Ep 12

From its humble origins on the Gameboy in the late 90s to a multimedia phenomenon spanning manga series, a trading card game, anime series and films, and so much more, Pokémon is near and dear to 90s nostalgia. We're breaking down what makes Pokémon special, how we first discovered it, how our fandom has evolved over the decades, and playing a game trying to guess their names now that the roster has expanded from the original 150 to over 1000 today.

Jurassic Park - Ep 11

Hold on to your butts, because today we're going full-on dino-mania as we celebrate the legacy of Jurassic Park! We get into the scientific and moral dilemmas of the movie, its cutting-edge effects, and how this movie reignited a love of dinosaurs in pop culture in the 90s.

Duck Tales - Ep 10

This time we're blasting even further back into the past with Disney's Ducktales! Ducktales is an animated tv show from 1987-1991 that depicts the adventures, misadventures, and larger-than-life escapades of Donald Duck’s wealthy, curmudgeonly uncle Scrooge McDuck, as he’s charged with the care of his three mischievous nephews, Huey, Dewey, and Louie. The crew travels the world in search of treasure, fights off a hodge-podge cast of wacky villains who also want treasure, or Scrooge’s fortune, or his “Number One Dime.” Their journeys take them to pyramids, waterfalls, the center of the earth’s core, as well as through the streets of Duckburg. Join us and special guest Cary Verner for a waddle down memory lane.

Boy Bands - Ep 9

Settling the 25-ish-year-old debate about which 90s boy band truly the GOAT: Backstreet Boys or NSYNC

Brink! - Ep 8

When you woke up this morning, did you say, "Today I'm gonna talk, or today I'm gonna listen to the new episode of RETRO ROUNDHOUSE?!" This time around we tackle what is quite possibly some of our hosts' favorite movie of all time—the 1998 Disney Channel Original rollerblading Movie, Brink! With its kick-butt-and-take-no-names soundtrack, dynamite team dynamics, one of the most punchable villains of any 90s movie, the unmatched quotable lines, and the luscious hair of Erik VonDetten, Brink! is a movie that will have us lacing up our blades in no time.
