Most of us were born between 1982 and 1989. Which means

the 80s? We don't really remember them. But by the time

we were old enough to actually see the world around us —

the world we woke up in was 1991. And it turned out to

be something special.

This week on In Case I Missed It: 90s Edition we do our

second Year Recap — a full 360 of 1991. Music, movies,

TV, sports, and world events. The year that didn't stop.

Nirvana's Nevermind knocking Michael Jackson off number

one. Metallica's Black Album dropping six weeks before

it. The Gulf War ending in 100 hours on live TV. Whitney

Houston's national anthem that made the whole country

stop breathing. The Bulls winning their first

championship and a dynasty beginning. Terminator 2

raising the ceiling for every movie that came after it.

The Silence of the Lambs sweeping all five major Oscars

as a horror film. Beauty and the Beast becoming the

first animated film ever nominated for Best Picture.

John Singleton directing Boyz n the Hood at 23 years

old. Magic Johnson's announcement that changed a

national conversation overnight. The Soviet Union

dissolving on Christmas Day. And the SNES and Sonic

launching the console wars.

Plus Did You Know and our Top 5: Moments From 1991

That Changed Everything — including the one that

started everything and the one nobody saw coming.

If those three letters just unlocked something in

your brain — this episode is for you.

This week on In Case I Missed It: 90s Edition we're

going back to the early internet. The dial-up modem

sound. The AOL CD that came in the mail. Chat rooms

full of strangers. The screen name you chose at 9pm

on a Tuesday that became your entire digital identity

for a decade. AIM buddy lists. The away message that

was definitely about someone specific. GeoCities pages

with auto-playing MIDI music nobody asked for. And

Napster — the software one 18-year-old built in his

dorm room that accidentally ended the music industry

as it existed.

Plus our new permanent segment — the TOP 5 LIST.

This week: Top 5 Early Internet Experiences Every

90s Kid Had and Will Never Forget. From the Napster

download that took 45 minutes and got killed by the

phone, to the getting-caught-online moment every

single one of us lived at least four times.

The early internet was weird. It was chaotic. It was

completely unsupervised. And it changed everything

about how humans talk to each other — forever.

The Knicks just won it all for the first time in 53 years —

and this episode has been building toward that moment our

whole lives.

This week on In Case I Missed It: 90s Edition, we're going

back to what it felt like to be a sports kid growing up in

the New York area in the 90s. The Knicks' back-to-back trips

to the Finals in 1994 and 1999. The Yankees dynasty that won

four titles in five years. The Rangers ending a 54-year

Stanley Cup drought. The Devils right there too. And the

streets where we played all of it out ourselves — wiffle

ball, handball, stickball, pickup basketball with no refs

and at least four arguments per game.

We also break down something most people don't think about:

how differently we actually watched sports in the 90s. Game

7 of the 1994 Finals drew roughly 28 million viewers — still

the highest-rated Game 7 in NBA history — with zero second

screens, zero notifications, zero distractions. Just the game.

This one is for everybody who grew up believing, who argued

every call on the court, and who finally got to watch their

team finish what it started three decades ago.

This week on In Case I Missed It: 90s Edition we're not talking about a show or an album or a moment in history. We're talking about a feeling. The 90s summer — from the last day of school to the first day back — and everything in between that made it the greatest season of the greatest decade of our lives.

Every great decade has a foundation year — and for the 90s,

that year was 1990. On this week's In Case I Missed It: 90s

Edition, we do our first Year Recap and go all the way back

to where it all began. Nelson Mandela walking out of prison

after 27 years while a billion people watched. MC Hammer

going diamond with the first rap album to ever sell 10

million copies. Mariah Carey announcing herself to the world

with four number-one singles from a single debut album.

Milli Vanilli having their Grammy REVOKED. Home Alone

becoming the highest-grossing comedy in history. Ghost,

Goodfellas, Fresh Prince premiering, Twin Peaks changing

television forever — and somewhere in a quiet Swiss

laboratory, Tim Berners-Lee proposing something called the

World Wide Web while his supervisor wrote four words on the

paper: "vague but exciting." We cover the music, the movies,

the TV, the sports, and the world events that built the

foundation of the greatest decade ever lived — and make the

case that 1990 was the most important year of the entire

decade. New episodes every Saturday morning, because

Saturday mornings were always ours.

Remember staying up late because you were so close to the next save point? Well, this episode is for you.

This week on In Case I Missed It: 90s Edition, we’re taking a trip back to the golden era of home gaming.

We’re not just talking about the games—we’re diving into the culture, the console wars, the rivalries, and the moments that shaped our gaming identities.

We’ll explore the full timeline, from the Game Boy’s dominance in car rides and waiting rooms to the epic SNES vs. Sega Genesis war that split entire friend groups. We’ll also discuss the heartbreaking launch of the Sega Saturn, PlayStation’s transformative impact on game content, the N64’s controversial Super Mario 64 release, and the Dreamcast’s visionary design that went unnoticed until its demise.

But that’s not all. We’ll also delve into the culture surrounding the games. We’ll talk about Nintendo Power magazine as the internet of its time, the thrill of Blockbuster rentals with limited memory cards and a 48-hour time limit to beat a game, the trading of cheat codes on school buses, and the accidental creation of the ESRB rating system by Mortal Kombat’s congressional appearance. And we’ll reminisce about the couch co-op experience that online gaming eventually replaced but never truly replicated.

We drop every Saturday morning, because Saturday mornings were always ours.
