S02E17: That 70s Show "Halloween" (S02E05) - Rewatch

In this episode of the 90s Rewind Report Michael & Nate spend the night with Eric Forman & Company. The two rewatch That ’70s Show Season 2, Episode 5, “Halloween,” which originally aired October 26, 1999. The gang decides to spend the spooky night exploring their old burned-down grammar school. Fez shows up dressed as Batman, and before their creepy adventure, we see a quick montage of the crew taking him trick-or-treating and catching a showing of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Once inside the abandoned school, they stumble upon their old permanent records—and that’s when things get messy. One by one, they read each other’s files, uncovering embarrassing secrets that lead to hurt feelings, arguments, and plenty of classic That ’70s Show comedy chaos.

S02E16: Halloween Film Franchise Multiverse Explained

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. 🎃

S02E15: Halloween in the 90s

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). 🎃

Minisode: So You Want To Start A Podcast?

This week’s episode wasn’t exactly what Michael & Nate had planned.

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.
