In this special Nickelodeon November minisode, we rewind to Nickelodeon Studios Orlando — the beating heart of 90s kids’ TV magic.

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!

S02E18: The Simpsons: Treehouse of Horror (S02E03) Rewatch

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.
 

Minisode: Behind-The-SCREAM (1996)

In this 90s Rewind Minisode, Nate takes the reins to slice into the origins of Scream (1996) — the film that single-handedly revived a dying genre. Before Ghostface ever asked, “What’s your favorite scary movie?”, there were decades of horror classics paving the way. Nate looks back at the slasher boom of the late ’70s and early ’80s, how the genre lost its edge by the decade’s end, and the spark that Scream brought back to horror. He also explores how the movie came to life — from the early drafts to the big names almost attached to the project — and what made Wes Craven’s final version such a game-changer.
