Suit up, Rewinders—Part 2 of Slime Time is here, and the goo is out of control! 💚 Michael Reagan and Nate Lane keep the nostalgia flowing as they dig into peak-90s Nickelodeon merch, the legacy of that legendary green slime, the unforgettable Stick Stickly era, and all the quirky Nick moments that shaped our childhoods. It’s messy, it’s neon, it’s pure ’90s chaos—and you’re gonna love every second of it.
This week on The 90s Rewind Report, Nate and Michael are taking a trip back to the days when slime flowed freely, big orange splat logos were everywhere, and dream vacations always included Florida. In this special Nickelodeon November minisode, we rewind to Nickelodeon Studios Orlando — the beating heart of 90s kids’ TV magic. We dig into the studio’s origins at Universal Studios Florida, the vision behind making Nickelodeon a place where kids could literally walk into the world of their favorite shows, and the iconic series filmed there — from Clarissa Explains It All to Legends of the Hidden Temple, Double Dare, Nick Arcade, Roundhouse, All That, and more. We also talk about the behind-the-scenes tours, the slime geyser, and that unforgettable blue-and-green paint job that made the building feel like a cartoon come to life. Plus, Nate shares his own personal nostalgia story of visiting the studios in the mid-90s — complete with crowd warm-ups, slime demonstrations, and a moment that felt like stepping directly into the TV. Nate and Michael are also still buzzing from last weeks celebrity guest; David Sidoni! Short, sweet, slimy, and packed with memories — it's a love letter to the epicenter of 90s Nickelodeon culture.
Get ready, Nostalgians! Before this week’s full episode drops, we’re giving you a sneak peek at our chat with Nickelodeon alum David Sidoni — part of the original Roundhouse cast, dancer in Disney’s Newsies, and even featured in a Michael Jackson video. These days, he’s the host of the hit podcast How to Buy a Home, but his 90s roots run deep. In this clip David talks something every 90s kid who watched SNICK has been wondering for decades... what happened to the Roundhouse chair?!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN NOSTALGIANS! Join Nate Lane and Michael Reagan as they dive into the spooky origins of The Simpsons’ annual Halloween tradition in this special episode of The 90s Rewind Report. We’re revisiting Season 2, Episode 3 (“Treehouse of Horror”)—the very first “Treehouse” special—where Bart and Lisa tell ghost stories in their treehouse, and the viewer is treated to three wildly different horror-parody segments: “Bad Dream House” – The Simpsons purchase a bargain haunted house and quickly discover that the house is less thrilled to have them than they are to have it. “Hungry Are the Damned” – When Kang, Kodos & co. abduct the Simpsons for what appears to be a feast… turns out the mischief might lie closer to home than the stars. “The Raven” – A near-verbatim adaptation of Edgar Allan Poe’s classic poem, starring Homer as the tortured narrator and Bart as the raven perched on the bust of Pallas. Nate and Michael break down each segment with plot summary, discuss how the tone and format set the template for years of future episodes, compare the scares and laughs, and throw in some fun ’90s context about animation and pop-culture. Whether you remember watching this one as a kid or are hearing it for the first time, it’s a ghoulish gem worth revisiting.
On this episode of The 90s Rewind Report, Michael Reagan and Nate Lane take a stab at unraveling one of horror’s most confusing—but fascinating—franchises: Halloween. From the 1978 original that redefined slasher cinema to the endless reboots, sequels, and multiverse timelines that followed, the guys break down how Halloween splintered into multiple realities. They explore the three (or four, depending who you ask) major timelines, the Rob Zombie reimagining that divided fans, and Halloween III: Season of the Witch—the bizarre standalone entry that ditched Michael Myers altogether in favor of killer masks and cult conspiracies. We’re sorting out Halloween’s tangled timelines once and for all. So whether you’re a casual fan trying to make sense of it all or a horror buff who’s seen every timeline reset, this episode carves through the chaos with humor, nostalgia, and plenty of pumpkin spice. 🎃
On this episode of The 90s Rewind Report, hosts Michael & Nate proudly embrace their inner “back in my day” energy for a trip down memory lane. "Halloween Back in Our Day..." Remember those 1990s Halloweens when costumes came from the drugstore aisle, candy trading was serious business, and you actually had to walk door-to-door for your sugar haul? The guys compare old-school Halloweens of the ’90s to the modern-day trunk-or-treat era — poking fun at how convenience has replaced chaos, and how somewhere along the way, spooky got a little too safe. Grab your plastic pumpkin pail and join in as they prove that sometimes, the old ways really were the best (or at least, the stickiest). 🎃

This week’s episode wasn’t exactly what Michael & Nate had planned. We were finally ready to unleash a spooky-season kickoff we first recorded back in Season 1—but after a year of delays, tech issues, and more do-overs than a haunted VHS tape, the episode just would not cooperate. At this point, we’re convinced it’s cursed. 👻 So instead, host Michael Reagan thought it was the perfect time to turn the mic toward our listeners who might be thinking of starting a podcast themselves. After two seasons, 40 episodes, and plenty of lessons learned the hard way, Michael is sharing everything he has picked up along his own podcast journey—the good, the bad, and the “did that file really just delete itself?” moments.
