January 1989 had it all — box office blockbusters, iconic TV premieres, and radio hits that still live rent-free in our brains.
On this week’s episode of the Feel Good Radio Podcast, we rewind to a month that gave us cult classics, comedic gold, and pop culture drama that still hits hard. We talk about the powerful performances in Rain Man and the wild mix of topics it sparked — Tom Cruise, Dustin Hoffman, Mission: Impossible, and yes, Scientology. Twins had us cracking up with Arnold Schwarzenegger and Danny DeVito. And Beaches made us cry with Bette Midler's unforgettable Wind Beneath My Wings.
Over on TV, Empty Nest gave Golden Girls fans more Miami laughs, Major Dad served up some Marine-style family fun, and Matlock proved the South knows how to solve a case in a white suit.
On the radio, Def Leppard brought the rock with Armageddon It, Taylor Dayne told us Don’t Rush Me, and Bobby Brown set the tone for solo domination with My Prerogative.
Plus, we debut our brand new closing segment — the 80s & 90s Pop Culture Trivia Challenge — and it gets competitive. Think Cheers, Kajagoogoo, The Matrix, Nickelodeon, and more.
And don’t miss our big tease: next week, it’s the ultimate showdown — Star Wars vs. Star Trek.
Feel the nostalgia. Bring the fun. Press play on the Feel Good Radio Podcast!
