Include how to reach you if you want a response. A life lived in fear is a life half lived.On this week's Deep Thoughts, Emily brings her analysis, nostalgia--and quite a bit of drool--to the 1992 Baz Luhrmann comedy Strictly Ballroom. Though this indie film, which was Luhrmann's directorial debut, may have gotten lost among the 80s and 90s movies that were bigger blockbusters, the comedy offers an incisive skewering of the insular world of amateur ballroom dancing in regional Australia.And yet, Luhrmann's direction, the beautiful choreography and...

Totally 80s and 90s Recall80s Video GamesIn this episode, Rob and Dave are taking it all the way back to the golden age of gaming — the 1980s — when the arcade was the place to be. From the flashing lights and 8-bit soundtracks of Pac-Man, Donkey Kong, and Galaga to the quarters lined up on the cabinet waiting for your turn, the arcade became a social hub where kids, teens, and even adults lost track of time chasing high scores. It was a decade when pixelated heroes ruled, and the simple thrill of joystick and button mashing created memories that still hold up today.

In the 1990s, while grunge was roaring from Seattle and hip-hop was taking over the charts, a smoother, more polished sound quietly thrived on radio stations and office CD players across America — Adult Contemporary. This was the music of big emotions, soft edges, and universal appeal. Artists like Celine Dion, Phil Collins, Michael Bolton, and Whitney Houston carried the torch for power ballads and lushly produced pop that spoke to love, loss, and life’s quieter moments. It was the soundtrack for carpool lines, candlelit dinners, and Sunday mornings — a genre that valued melody, warmth...

Released in 1980 and based (loosely) on Stephen King’s novel, the film stars Jack Nicholson as Jack Torrance, a struggling writer who takes a job as the winter caretaker of the isolated Overlook Hotel. Alongside his wife Wendy (Shelley Duvall) and young son Danny (Danny Lloyd), Jack’s descent into madness unfolds through Kubrick’s signature slow-burn tension, eerie atmosphere, and unforgettable imagery—from the ghostly twins in the hallway to that chilling “Here’s Johnny...

From overproduced follow-up singles that couldn’t capture the magic of their predecessors to novelty tracks that made listeners question their life choices, these years proved that even in the golden age of grunge, hip-hop, and R&B, the charts had plenty of room for the ridiculous.

Meanwhile, Cuba Gooding Jr. yells “Show me the money!” enough times to win an Oscar and become a pop culture icon overnight.

This was the golden era when Arnold Schwarzenegger could wipe out an entire jungle cartel with just a grimace, Sylvester Stallone turned mumbling into an art form (while bench-pressing Cold War tensions), and Jean-Claude Van Damme split-kicked his way into our hearts—and sometimes into slow-motion for no reason.

Its explosive bassline, distorted guitars, and aggressive delivery captured the Beasties at their rawest and most innovative. At the same time, tracks like “Sure Shot” and “Root Down” paid homage to their b-boy roots with tight rhymes and slick DJ work from Mix Master Mike. The album wasn't just about sonic chaos—it c...
