In Season 3, Episode 11 hosts Michael Reagan and Nate Lane unpack the ultimate childhood heartbreak.

All aboard! Season 3, Episode 8 of The 90s Rewind Report rolls in with a very specific request from Nostalgian Nick O.—a deep dive into the PBS television series "Shining Time Station. Specifically the episode “Double Trouble.” Michael and Nate kick things off with an overview of the series itself, exploring its origins, why it became such a comfort watch for 90s kids, and how this cozy little station built a world that stuck with us long after the credits rolled. Then it’s time for a lite rewatch of “Double Trouble,” revisiting the episode’s biggest moments, themes, and whether it still holds up today. Along the way, they break down the characters, the storytelling, and those blink-and-you-miss-it details that hit very differently as adults. And yes—we’re saying it out loud: if Shining Time Station doesn’t immediately click for you, you definitely know its famous tie-in—Thomas the Tank Engine & Friends. Those iconic train segments weren’t originally made for the American show at all; they were lifted from the UK series and repurposed for U.S. audiences. So if you were a 90s kid, there’s a very good chance you were already a fan—you just didn’t realize you were watching a British import the whole time. From behind-the-scenes origins to a nostalgic revisit of a fan-favorite episode, this stop is all about “Double Trouble” and the legacy of a show that quietly shaped a generation. Next stop? Pure 90s comfort.

On this episode of The 90s Rewind Report "And The Oscar Didn't Go To (90s edition)", hosts Michael Reagan and Nate Lane are joined again by Season 1 alum host Brayden Decker for a nostalgic deep dive into the films the Academy overlooked—but audiences never forgot. From cult classics to critical darlings that somehow slipped through the cracks, the trio each selects one film per Oscar year that they believe deserved a nomination… or even a win. These are the “almosts,” the snubs, and the outright misses that still spark debate decades later. In Part 2, the guys cover the latter half of the decade, breaking down their picks from 1995 through 2000 (…or technically 1996 through 2001, because as they quickly realize mid-recording, the Oscars are always honoring the previous year’s films—whoops). Expect passionate defenses, a few surprises, and maybe even a little revisionist history as they give these forgotten favorites their long-overdue moment in the spotlight.

When a Nostalgian makes a request, we listen! This week, Nate Lane is joined by longtime 90s Rewind Report listener and our friend, Tyler “Bones” Jones. Tyler requested a Weird Al episode, and we invited him on as a guest host to discuss his topic of choice! From recording accordion-driven parody songs in his early days to becoming one of the most recognizable comedy musicians of the modern era, Nate and Tyler trace Al’s rise through the ’80s and ’90s, the albums that defined a generation, and the moment he began shifting into more original music alongside his signature parodies. Told entirely from the perspective of two fans who grew up with his work, this episode celebrates the creativity, longevity, and cultural impact of the man who turned musical satire into an art form—and stayed relevant through every era of pop culture.
