Read the pledge here: https://www.sapg.co.za/the-south-african-podcasters-pledgeRDJ & AMH on SNL? WTF?!?! An 80s something Paulo didn't know and even though Robert Downey Junior as George Michael wasn't funny at all, it was still better than Doolittle.Paulo recommends an 80s teen time travel movie that would be the best 80s teen time travel movie - if Back to the Future 1, Back to the Future 2, Peggy Sue Got Married, Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure or Flight of the Navigator didn't exist.You'll never guess who the richest actress from the 80s is and imagine ignoring the unknown opening act at an 80s Hall & Oates concert - only to look back from the bar and see that the lead singer is Cher.Jump To: - Robert Downey Jr. and Anthony Michael Hall on SNL (00:01:44): https://x.com/georgekyria/status/1680616447431565312?utm_source=chatgpt.com - Christiania Podcast (00:12:28): https://99percentinvisible.org/episode/598-christiania/ - My Science Project Overview (00:23:02): https://youtu.be/Vlqmk2URDFY?si=Wmi58nMtlzMq3xcM - Jamie Gertz's Wealth (00:31:19): https://www.2oceansvibe.com/2025/05/09/this-billionaire-you-forgot-from-the-80s-is-richer-than-taylor-swift-and-clooney-combined/ - Cher's Rock Band (00:33:05): https://ultimateclassicrock.com/cher-black-rose/https://youtu.be/bbtmMV_OAN0?si=VOHdIx9Pqnm-Kl3F#1980s, #pop culture, #Robert Downey Jr., #Anthony Michael Hall, #Saturday Night Live, #SNL, #Brat Pack, #Sixteen Candles, #The Breakfast Club, #Less Than Zero, #nostalgia, #Christiania, #Copenhagen, #alternative community, #drug use, #countercultural movement, #Bifrost, #flower power rock band, #Icon, #99% Invisible, #sci-fi teen movies, #Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure, #Explorers, #The Last Starfighter, #Flight of the Navigator, #My Science Project, #female billionaires, #Oprah Winfrey, #Jamie Gertz, #Cher, #Black Rose, #entertainment industry, #cultural landscape, #humor, #addiction, #legacy of 80s stars, #comedy, #creativity, #chaos.

Welcome to That 80s Show, where it always tastes like Mello-Yello and Live Aid 40 is going to make sure every day is Christmas.Paulo watched a little-known 80s Rom-Com, but it raised some awkward questions about what turns a demon on.There is only one person who would be offended by being compared to John Stamos, and we find out about the poor tour guide who came across him.We have a Michael Bolton health update, and Dori is going to spend all the money in her BoB T account trying to get Corey Haim's phone number.Jump to: Live Aid Musical "Just for One Day" (00:04:05)Plot Overview of "My Demon Lover" (00:09:41):https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rCiwZzPcMXwScott Valentine (19:55): https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0884306/mediaviewer/rm3464153088/?ref_=nm_ph_1Mistaken Identity: John Stamos (21:10): https://people.com/rob-lowe-calls-out-tour-bus-driver-who-mistakes-him-for-john-stamos-11717742Podcast on Full House (24:30): https://www.cracked.com/article_46377_full-house-child-actors-fielded-gross-questions-about-uncle-jesse-from-adult-interviewers.htmlMichael Bolton's Health Update (27:15): https://people.com/michael-bolton-breaks-silence-glioblastoma-brain-cancer-diagnosis-first-interview-exclusive-11724330Corey Haim and Corey Feldman Hotline (32:00): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a7HrRRAXAjs&t=30s

This week we found a full guava roll in our lunch box and hate we can get hot cross buns whenever we want. Paulo engaged in some titillating titty typing and found the most banned video games of the 80s.It's the BITCHIEST feud no one knew about – and it's over. Madonna has forgiven Elton John, but is he really sorry?Dori recommends a Netflix show that will make you so happy you'll do the dance of joy, while Paulo is fascinated by Andy Garcia's greasy ponytail.We end the show discussing a pair of Face-Hoffs, one over a will, the other over an upside-down yoga mat.Jump to:Banned Video GamesBachelor Party Game Overview (00:06:49): https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=bachelor+party+video+game+game+playCuster's Revenge Game Overview (00:10:06):https://youtu.be/KMVV930VIYU?si=bPOImiPGcC2bI_bRBeat 'Em and Eat 'Em Game Overview (00:13:57): https://youtu.be/ZTeVMBYQc6g?si=jvD5zljotTbe3h5WMadonna and Elton John's Feud (00:18:00): https://variety.com/2025/music/news/madonna-elton-john-end-feud-1236362202/Review of "The Residence" (00:29:04): https://youtu.be/aYC2zCdcKW0?si=LMr6S_jMLvbV43rF8 Million Ways to die (00:35:21): https://youtu.be/DBUpIn87DEg?si=H27H-BI7z-Scn0CsFace-Hoff (00:43:03): https://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/david-hasselhoff-pamela-bachs-daughter-legal-claim-moms-estate#pop culture, #nostalgia, #1980s, #Batman, #Michael Keaton, #Joker, #Jack Nicholson, #Heath Ledger, #Catwoman, #Michelle Pfeiffer, #controversial video games, #Mystique, #Bachelor Party, #Custer's Revenge, #Beat 'Em and Eat 'Em, #video game history, #banned video games, #gaming regulations, #celebrity feuds, #Madonna, #Elton John, #reconciliation, #Netflix algorithm, #murder mystery series, #Kylie Minogue, #Hugh Jackman, #Clue, #Bronson Pinchot, #8 Million Ways to Die, #Jeff Bridges, #noir film, #Hal Ashby, #Oliver Stone, #David Hasselhoff, #celebrity news, #family dynamics, #entertainment, #humor, #commentary.

Paulo knows credit card scammers from the '80s – and it was tough back then with the little “shook shook” machine.We hear from Jean-Claude Van Andrew Tate while Dori channels Living & Loving – but this edition includes hairy men and Benji.Plastic surgery changed The Hoff's life, and Paulo still wants to poo in George Michael's toilet.And finally… was Madonna really in The Breakfast Club?

A lo-fi version of the show this week, as Dori had a bumper bashing that did not lead to Adventures in Babysitting-style shenanigans.Dolph Lundgren dons a wig and teases Paulo, while Dori is intrigued by the most banned movie of all time — which just happens to be from the '80s and also happens to sound like a Berlin techno club.We take the time to remember Val Kilmer's most '80s — and '80s-adjacent — movies. Plus, we recap all the lovely acts of charity performed by George Michael, which raised the question: £25,000 or a cappuccino with Georgios?We also find out that the crowd at a Journey concert just goes on and on and on… while Paul Young goes nowhere without holding onto the railings.Jump to: - Dolph Lundgren is a tease (00:02:40) - Silent Album Protest (00:05:00) - Necromantic (00:10:30) - Val Kilmer Tribute (00:15:25) - George Michael's Generosity (00:30:10) - Journey Concert Fire (00:34:36) - Paul Young's Injury (00:36:14)https://movieweb.com/masters-of-universe-dolph-lundgren-cameo-tease/https://english.elpais.com/culture/2025-02-25/thousands-of-british-artists-back-silent-album-against-ai-is-this-what-we-want.html?outputType=amphttps://www.imdb.com/video/vi1319420697/?playlistId=tt0089886&ref_=ext_shr_lnkhttps://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14200643/George-Michaels-kindness-remembered-Christmas-star-funded-IVF-hopefuls-treatment-paid-strangers-25-000-debt-changed-ladys-car-tyre-rain.htmlhttps://www.express.co.uk/celebrity-news/2027884/beloved-80s-band-concert-abruptly-haltedhttps://www.express.co.uk/celebrity-news/2028556/paul-young-age-hospital-fall

Live is Life—we hope!Paulo and Dori recorded the latest episode of That 80s Show at Retro012—all the vibe, all the ambience, all their nonsense.They catch up with Noël Opperman, the mulletted Curator Supreme of Retro012. He shares what went into this year's event and reveals the unofficial tagline: “Those who get it, get it.

As part of the #Podcasthon Initiative - www.podcasthon.org - That 80 Show met with Michele Cahi, an occupational therapist and trustee at Headway Gauteng to discuss the charity's vital work supporting individuals with brain injuries.We highlight the emotional and psychological challenges faced by patients and their families, find out about Headway's holistic approach to therapy, and because we love the 80s - we ask about the role that music and nostalgia play in recovery. This month of March is Brain Injury Awareness Month and we hope this episode underscores the significance of compassion and understanding in the healing process.Find out how you can support Headway on their website:https://headwaygauteng.co.za/and keep up to date with their initiatives through Facebook, X and Instagram:https://www.facebook.com/HeadwayGauteng/https://www.instagram.com/headwaygauteng/https://x.com/HeadwayGauteng

In an inadvertently Spanish themed episode, Paulo doesn't want to join the Redington Frognal Neighbourhood Forum Whatsapp group - even if it does have to do with George Michael's bush.A Knight Rider Agujero de conejo, led us to discover the joys of 80s shows in Spanish - which makes them 100 times better.In movies, Dori cuts class, Paulo is crazy for you and Val Kilmer is mad at Matthew Modine.Julio Iglesias is getting the Netflix treatment - we're looking forward to the 80s stuff, but it will probably Begin in the Beguine.Jump to: - 80s Memories in Cape Town (00:00:56) - George Michael's bush (00:03:06) - Spanish Translations of TV Shows (00:09:22):  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gfYl6-RyAlMhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rtpPXPsDQoE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zg3t5hYaea0https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kYCzmjKNNPkhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EsGKDo3Jgm0 - Cutting Class (25:12): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=79iQi-2ZL9w - Vision Quest (00:37:15): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1VGaEQcvpZ4 - Julio Iglesias Biopic Announcement (00:48:18): https://todotvnews.com/en/netflix-announces-julio-iglesias-biopic/ - Rick Rolled by the House of Judiciary (00:51:38): https://san.com/cc/republicans-rickroll-the-epstein-files-receive-blowback-from-users/#Cape Town, #80s television shows, #George Michael, #pop culture, #native Capetonians, #Joburgers, #Fourways, #Camps Bay, #local community, #transformation, #nostalgia, #movie recommendations, #Cutting Class, #Brad Pitt, #ensemble casts, #Vision Quest, #Madonna, #Matthew Modine, #Full Metal Jacket, #80s movies, #film soundtrack, #cultural impact, #humor, #podcast episode, #cinema, #community reactions, #wildlife habitats, #neighborhood forum, #movie discussion, #live show, #movie trailers, #classic films, #film critiques, #character analysis, #coming-of-age themes, #fashion trends, #80s nostalgia, #film legacy.

Casting news of the new live-action Masters of the Universe movie is out, and Paulo and Dori reject He-Man 2026 due to his tiny nipples.We never knew how good we had it with Dolph.We visit the 80s tuck shop of our minds and fill our bellies with corn syrup and artificial colouring as we reminisce about our favourite discontinued cool drinks.80s movies didn't care if they offended you, and after discovering that the Hoff has crabs, we find out that he now has a penguin. Plus, we wonder who would win in a fight between La Linea and Morph.Paulo watched the Pelé movie Hotshot, where he expected to see Pelé play soccer and actors act... instead, he got Pelé acting. And actors doing something soccer adjacent.Finally, we find out which of Dori's traits are brought out due to Blondie, and don't wear your white heels to a silent 80s disco.Time StampsLive-Action He-Man casting news (00:06:30): https://foreternia.com/2025/02/he-man-actor-nicholas-galitzine-reveals-first-official-image-for-the-masters-of-the-universe-movie 80s cool-drinks (00:17:54): https://www.cleveland.com/nation/2025/02/coca-cola-bringing-back-soda-flavor-from-80s.htmlhttps://za.pinterest.com/pin/68117013108338363/Shameless 80s Comedies (00:26:15): https://www.moviemaker.com/shameless-80s-comedies-that-just-dont-care-gallery/ Pingu (00:33:38): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5lyEqhMC6EAHotShot (00:41:28): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZeaAwQws33s Buzzfeed Song Quiz (00:58:12):#He-Man, #1980s pop culture, #nostalgia, #live-action movie, #Amazon, #Dolph Lundgren, #Skeletor, #Teela, #Camila Mendes, #Morena Baccarin, #Idris Elba, #Nicholas Galitzine, #Jared Leto, #He-Man franchise, #80s cartoons, #Coca-Cola, #Cherry Coke, #Diet Cherry Coke, #Mellow Yellow, #Irn-Bru, #Fanta, #soft drinks, #marketing strategies, #Pingu, #La Linea, #David Hasselhoff, #animated series, #anthropomorphized, #soccer movies, #Pelé, #Jimmy, #Mario Van Peebles, #bicycle kick, #championship game, #silent disco, #BuzzFeed quiz, #80s music, #entertainment industry.

Paulo went to see Midge Ure and Tom Bailey from The Thompson Twins—and got to see so much more. Very little of it involved sunscreen.We connect 80s movies with the songs that made them, and Dori spends time with a sex-addicted RDJ.Paulo would rather talk about anything else than his Howie Mandel movie—even Pre-, Peak-, and Post-Sam Malone.If you thought the most shocking thing about the song "Goodbye Horses" involved lotion-inspired tucking—do we have a story for you.The Hoff is selling his house, and it's not because of his crabs.Sections: - Let's Rock Johannesburg - Midge Ure/ The Thompson Twins (00:02:33) - 80s Movie and Song Connections (00:15:35) : https://screenrant.com/memorable-1980s-movies-associated-with-one-song-list/ - The Pickup Artist (00:27:01) : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=emiwRO5JZT8 - A Fine Mess (00:36:18): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4V8sBskCSoM - Q Lazzarus Revelation (00:49:11): https://www.theguardian.com/film/2025/feb/17/documentary-q-lazzarus-goodbye-horses - David Hasselhoff's Estate (00:56:22): https://www.estately.com/listings/info/5180-louise-avenue--8 - Hoff Crabs Discovery (01:01:39): https://www.independent.co.uk/news/science/david-hasselhoff-hoff-crab-claw-b2693390.html #80s music, #concert review, #Johannesburg, #PJ Powers, #Cindy Alter, #Thompson Twins, #nostalgia, #retro concerts, #audience behavior, #FOMO, #concert experience, #Marks Park, #live performances, #iconic 80s artists, #music memories, #cultural impact, #80s movies, #song associations, #"16 Candles," #"The Breakfast Club," #"Back to the Future," #Kenny Loggins, #"The Pickup Artist," #Robert Downey Jr., #Molly Ringwald, #community, #live music, #concert energy, #shared experiences, #80s attire, #music revival, #emotional connection, #vibrant atmosphere, #concert anecdotes, #enduring appeal, #formative years, #music legacy, #lighthearted tone.

We didn't have our usual time to do the show and should have known that once The Hoff entered the conversation, we would lose all track of time. Before that, we looked at the massive 80s stars who were snubbed by The Grammys during the 80s, when it was a procession of Michael Jackson, Madonna, Whitney Houston, and Kenny Loggins wins. Dori surprises Paulo with RDJ's dating history, while Paulo finds a movie that connects the Brat Pack to Breaking Bad, to AC/DC, and even to The Simpsons.

Add some more explicit warnings—Dori will make you blush and confuse Emmanuelle with Emmanuel Lewis. What happens when you return Sly Stallone's call? You make a song with more “Bams” than the entire Rocky franchise. Dori reviews '80s anime, and Paulo discovers a forgotten Keanu Reeves film that may have inspired his Bill & Ted character—but definitely features Aunt Becky in her undies. Full House, anyone? Aunty Ru is our heart and soul, Corey Feldman needs a dishwasher, and The Hoff loses his head.

Welcome to That 80s Show where we celebrtae the music made 40 years before Hop Hop Spinnekop. This week we discover that Rod Stewart and David Schwimmer are NOT friends and how David Lynch almost reunited 2 of The Amigos through shared saliva. We hear through the grapevine how the California Raisins led to N.W.A and we cold have uncovered a lip-sync scandal of Milli Vanilli proportions. Dori reveals that 80s criminals prefer Boy George to Metallica and Paulo reviews a movie where Hugh Grant is more Hugh Grant than Hugh Grant has ever been. Granted. A 15-year old reviews 80s heart throbs and Paulo and Dori really miss 80s Simba chips.

The first show of the year kicks off with a look at movies and songs that will celebrate their 40th anniversary and includes Eddie Murphy blowing up, A Last Dragon, Marty going Back to the Future and Harrison Ford prompting a high school kid to go ''Hubba Hubba''. Dori recommends a Jae Bae movie where he's scarier than a Teen Woolf while Paulo spent the holidays with an E-Tv late night favourite not called Emmanuelle . Promise. Police Academy make a welcome appearance at the LA Fires but Harry and Meghan are not wanted there, no matter what Family Ties they may have.

There was a Young Ryan from Limerick Who joined That 80s Show with his little... Let's leave that there - Young Ryan returns with tales from The Emerald Isle and his list of Top 3 Lesbians in a segment that has nothing to do withe nudie films. Paulo introduces his guests to the sweetest piece of Last Christmas content of the year, but whatever you do DON'T Google, ''Whamster''. Dori quizzes Ryan on the 80s, and stumps Paulo with her viewing recommendation. Paulo's movie of the week is the Christmas Horror called Elves. incestuous Nazi Satanists in wheel chairs and Ninja Turtle Pyjamas - and no sign of the guy from Anchorman. We have great new about Dolph Lundgren and want to get invited to the Murphy/Lawrence wedding stand-up special. **Young Ryan's Experience in Ireland (00:00:51)** **Sabrina Carpenter's Netflix Special (00:04:45)** **Chappel Roan's Popularity (00:05:55)** **Harry the Hamster's Christmas Adventure (00:16:59)** **80s Christmas Quiz Introduction (00:20:37)** **80s References in Pantheon (00:35:35)** **Plot Overview of "Elves" (00:41:26)** **Dolph Lundgren's Health Update (00:58:46)** **Comedy Super Baby (01:01:21)** **Show Plans and Holidays (01:02:43)** #Young Ryan, #ChappelRoan, #Ireland, #crack connoisseur, #holiday season, #Last Christmas, #Wham!, #Netflix special, #Sabrina Carpenter, #Chaperone, #80s music, #nostalgia, #South African Podcast Award, #Hub Hopper International Award, #Best Entertainment Podcast, #80s pop culture, #Doogie Howser, #Back to the Future, #Pantheon, #animated series, #Elves, #absurd movies, #holiday traditions, #Christmas songs, #Elf, #family dynamics, #cultural significance, #memories, #festive spirit, #humor, #engaging conversation, #heartwarming moments, #music covers, #original songs, #Andrew Ridgeley, #Harry the Hamster, #supermarket advertisement, #80s quiz, #Cabbage Patch Kids, #holiday specials, #movie recommendations, #Christmas movies, #Die Hard, #Gremlins, #Band Aid, #pop culture references, #Christmas parties, #family gatherings, #joyful memories, #Merry Christmas, #New Year.

Paulo relives a childhood Castle Grayskull nightmare and makes a Freudian slip that would give He-Man and Fisto a very profitable Only Fans account. Status Quo locking Spandau Ballet in the bathroom, Bananarama don't need town cars, a very thirsty Boy George and Bono's villain origin story, we find out how they made the original Band Aid - and yes, we do swoon over George Michael, his beautiful voice and very symmetrical black and white shirt. ELTON JOHN IS BLIND - for now, but he's getting better, a little click bait never hurt anyone. Dori does a live unboxing and finds a sheep dressed in sheeps clothing. Paulo found a movie staring Kirk Douglas and Farrah Fawcett that featured a lot of nudity. And only 10% of it was Farrah Fawcett. A millennial blogger has a few problems with Back to the Future, we in turn have a few problems with a millennial blogger and you'll never believe who's the Ted Danson doppelgänger.

Presented with the evidence, we change our minds about BandAid40 - that's the power of Christmas...and George Michael appearing on screen with Robbie Williams. We hate all versions of Last Christmas except the original, but Paulo found one that made his palms sweaty. Dori finds 80s Steve Buscemi sexy, Paulo wishes gymnasts wore undies and after watching Sigourney Weaver in Ghostbusters Noël did his best impression of an exploding Stay Puft man...white, sticky stuff etc etc. Plus, we link Grace Jones to the most unlikely place on earth.

Do they know it's inappropriate after all? Band Aid is back for a 40th-anniversary nightmare mash-up. While we love an '80s supergroup, we all know better now—or do we? We uncover what Tim Curry was doing to Freddie Mercury's bushes and explore the meaning behind the lyrics of Karma Chameleon. Spoiler: the phrase “Calmer Chameleon” does not appear anywhere. Dori reminisces about The Charlie Brown and Snoopy Show, but all Paulo wants to know is: how does Snoopy poop? Surely, he's above popping a squat in the backyard? Paulo uses sound effects to review the film Lady Terminator. Who knew a dick kick sounded like that? Finally, we share our Christmas wish lists. Dibs on the evil George Michael throw cushion! For a fantastic selection of gifts for the '80s fan in your life, visit Retro Fair. They even have a Batman button just like the one Paulo shoplifted from Woolworths when he was nine.

Whose been kissing Madonna's brother? It's a Careless Whisper and the only living person would never admit to being jilted. An 80s frontman takes a swing at Taylor Swift. We do not want to be his social media manager right now. Did we brainstorm a more interesting Flash Gordon remake and Dori has been flirting with other 80s podcasts. When she realises how few awards they've won, she'll be back. Remember the TV Show, Adderley? Raise your left-hand if you do. Paulo found a hidden Sly Stallone gem that has it all - Billy Dee Williams, Rutger Hauer, Sly dressed as a little old lady. Someone needs to take the internet away from him. Finally, how did the Toy Hall of Fame (yes, a real thing) bring up Paulo's child-hood trauma? Find out at the end of the show. And it's a lot more interesting than playing with sand.

Lost-core meets Hardcore as Paulo and Dori tie up a loose end from a past show. Two mysterious ‘'80s'' songs appeared on the internet and the sleuths got to work. Sleuths and pervs. Halloween costumes got us having odd thoughts about E.T. as well as Roger and Jessica Rabbit's children! Humans with rabbit ears or rabbits with human ears?!? Paulo hasn't slept since. Dori confused the internet with her movie recommendation and Paulo just confused himself. When a main stream movie couldn't get a lead actress due to the amount of full frontal nudity and a person on set focused on making a merkin - you know you have our interest. What 80s song would your drunk uncle dance to at your wedding? We find out thanks to Spotify and Mr T had TWO shows in the 80s where his character is jailed for a crime he didn't commit, so if you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find him, maybe you need a bowtie. Dori beats Paulo in an 80s quiz and sucks his life force….out his mouth!

It's November the First and if the question is, “Can I start playing Last Christmas?'', the answer is, “Why did you stop?''.  Paulo is not afraid of Elon Musk's killbots, he has the best 80s robots - and  V.I.C.I. on his side.  Dori doesn't want to see an American Psycho remake, less Patrick Bateman and more Jason Bateman & The Dregs of Society. Paulo admits something about Robin Williams and The Hoff has made us want an electric car.

Don't you forget about The Breakfast Club sequel. We didn't but the internet tried to trick us. It's doccie time with the life story of Gary Coleman and the death stories of 80s hair band members. The resurrection theme continues in Dori's movie of the week while Paulo's movie is so silly it's almost art. As we celebrate #BTTFDAY24 we examine the technology that came true and the ones that never materialised. We're looking at you, hoverboards. Finally Freddy Krueger even scared the crap out of himself and made an entire generation distrustful of anyone in a green and red striped jersey.

Milli Vanilli are back in the charts for the first time in over 30 years, and you gotta blame it on something. In less murderous brother news - Paulo reveals the names of the little dinosaurs from Bubble Bobble which prompts us to try to name their girlfriends with sub-par results. What were the Seinfeld cast up to in the 80s just before they became mega-stars, and Paulo thought Cheetara was the only scantily-clad, cat-like humanoid he had eyes for...until he watched Rock and Rule. To wrap up we wonder how Tiffany is going to imagine her 80s hits and realise that a cult may have inspired Footloose.

Nothing like a dirty old 80s deck to get the show started! Paulo wanted Michael Knight to be his dad and Thomas Anders is a dzaddy. 80s TV shows had terrible endings especially Three's Company, so Dori fixed it. We remember the Wombles and find out that Wombling is legal but frowned upon even though it doesn't involve burrowing or trash. Also, 80s dogs were d**ks, you shouldn't be an old Josh and Cyndi Lauper proves that girls just wanna do suplexes. #1980s pop culture, #David Hasselhoff, #Baywatch, #pop culture references, #rickrolling, #social media, #TV show endings, #St. Elsewhere, #Quantum Leap, #The Cosby Show, #Cheers, #Miami Vice, #Magnum P.I., #The Golden Girls, #M*A*S*H, #Knight Rider, #The A-Team, #Growing Pains, #ALF, #Three's Company, #Dynasty, #Red Hot Chili Peppers, #Suburbia, #Josh Brolin, #Pet Shop Boys, #youth culture, #suburban ennui, #rebellion, #nonconformity, #Vince McMahon, #WWF, #Cyndi Lauper, #nostalgia, #humor, #podcast episode, #pop culture icons, #iconic TV shows, #1980s nostalgia.

!!Warning!! This episode contains some outrageous Afrikaans euphemisms! Paulo and Dori are joined by Noel Opperman, The Curator Supreme of the Pretoria Retro Fair for a deep dive into Liewe Heksie, among other puppet related things. We dispute the denials about a Goonies sequel - we just think they don't want Corey Feldman to show up. Jon Bon Jovi saves someone who was living on a prayer, Dori tries to hurry love fro the sake of finishing a Plex movie and Paulo has the Munchies. Finally, we reopen Wham! corner and we're glad to report that it's held its moistness.

Along with hulking muscles, Paulo has another thing in common with Lou Ferrigno - neither of them know their social media log ins. Morrissey must have a new publicist because he's back in the news and this time he's taking on The Vatican. Dori finds a tenuous link for her ''80s'' movie recommendation but it involves Jamiroquai so it was allowed - meantime Paulo makes a huge shout about Spaceballs. Sting is redoing Roxanne - but you won't believe who his collaborator is and Heaven 17 don't need video game money.

Paulo and Dori took a hit of nostalgia crack at The Pretoria Retro Fair and talk about the frustration of booking out an unwound VHS, arcade game survival tactics, oysters in the sun and finding The Lost Boys in the bathroom. Paulo tracked down The Hoff's song with Patricia Lewis and it's more spectacular than he remembered. Dori has a very intellectual podcast recommendation, we could all afford 80s sitcom houses and was an 80s puppet show set in Cape Town taking digs at the apartheid government? **Welcome & Nostalgic Pets (00:00:17)** **Pretoria Retrofit Fair (00:01:49)** **Patricia Lewis and The Hoff (00:19:00)** **Oasis inspired Reunion Tours (00:30:00)** **Podcast Recommendation: You're Wrong About (00:39:44)** Dory shares her thoughts on the podcast "You're Wrong About," focusing on George Michael. **Film Recommendation (00:49:31)** **Financially Unrealistic Sitcom Characters (00:58:29)** **Interster TV Show Discussion (01:05:51)** Tools, Websites, and Links Urban Dictionary: "00:07:06" Facebook Page for That 80 Show: "00:18:08" Lost Media Wiki: "01:11:38" Oyster Shot (Pretoria Oyster): "00:02:34" Pretoria Retrofit Fair: "00:01:51" Oasis Tour Announcement: "00:25:38" Contra: "00:06:11" Double Dragon: "00:06:30" Little Shop of Horrors: "00:11:04" Music Video of "Miss Kiss Kiss Bang" by David Hasselhoff and Patricia Lewis: "00:20:53" Wiseguys: "00:52:50" Johnny Dangerously: "00:54:05" Interstellar: "01:05:51" Thunderbirds: "01:06:10" Full House: "01:00:41" Family Matters: "01:02:41" Seinfeld: "00:59:18" Danny DeVito: "00:53:36" You're Wrong About: "00:39:44" Park Cruising: What Happens When We Wander Off the Path?: "00:48:15" (No specific book title mentioned): "01:13:12" Wham Documentary: "00:41:42" David Hasselhoff Clip: "01:12:55" Dynamic Pricing for Concert Tickets: "00:27:33" Britney Spears Book: "00:48:52" #Pretoria Retrofit Fair, #80s nostalgia, #VHS tapes, #arcade games, #childhood memories, #retro merchandise, #Double Dragon, #video rental culture, #campy games, #80s music, #80s movies, #community, #nostalgia, #humor, #memorable titles, #food and drink at fairs, #taco and burger offerings, #vinyl collection, #80s pop culture, #shared interests, #vintage toys, #retro clothing, #comic books, #sitcoms, #financial absurdities in sitcoms, #Wise Guys, #Danny DeVito, #Joe Piscopo, #Seinfeld, #Full House, #Family Matters, #Married... with Children, #Interstellar puppet show, #apartheid in South Africa, #lost media, #David Hasselhoff, #social media engagement, #enduring impact of 80s culture, #light-hearted discussions, #cherished memories.

The power of nostalgia is strong and smells like a family-sized bottle of Brut aftershave. So it doesn't take long for fans of retro to sniff each other out. The Pretoria Retro Fair is a celebration of 70s, 80s and 90s pop-culture and Paulo invited Noël Opperman to talk about the nuts and bolts of the fair but also the power of nostalgia to connect people to a time they thought they lost. Noël schools Paulo on the finest of 80s Afrikaans kids programming and they both speculate on the serial killer vibes given off my Angela Lansbury. The Pretoria Retro Fair happens on Saturday 31 August. That 80s Show will be there and so should you. Get the details here: www.retrofair.co.za. Mina Moo will thank you.

Paulo and Dori need to lock away their credit cards. We've partnered with the Pretoria Retro Fair and want to see you there on Saturday 31 August. Get the details on www.retrofair.co.za. One person who won't be there is George Michael, but his ghost may be - at least according to his cousin who has been receiving messages from beyond. Corey Feldman and his tricky fingers are trending and we're going haunted house hunting. Paulo brings you another movie in the, "I can't believe it's nor porn'' genre and in celebration of the Retro Fair we play a few rounds of their official drinking game...with no drinks present. **Official Podcast Announcement (00:01:25)** The hosts announce their new partnership with the Pretoria Retrofair event. **George Michael's Supernatural Contact (00:08:19)** A story about George Michael's cousin claiming to receive messages from him via car radio. **Corey Feldman News (00:14:42)** Introduction of Corey Feldman and his recent music career developments. **Poltergeist House Listing (00:25:29)** Dori reveals that the infamous Poltergeist house is back on the market, discussing its features humorously. **Death Stalker II Overview (00:39:29)** A humorous look at "Death Stalker II," emphasizing its parody elements and self-awareness. **80s and 90s Drinking Game (00:48:28)** Introduction of an 80s and 90s quiz drinking game, with fun questions to engage listeners. 80s nostalgia, Pretoria Retrofit, retro-themed event, George Michael, Wham!, Poltergeist, Poltergeist curse, horror movies, Death Stalker, Duran Duran, The Living Daylights, Simple Minds, The Breakfast Club, music trivia, 1980s pop culture, vintage items, arcade games, humor, anecdotes, 80s music, Corey Feldman, Corey Haim, Bill Eilish, nostalgia, drinking game, film commentary, podcast, retro experiences, vintage collectibles, memorabilia, South African radio awards, music documentary, Timothy Dalton, James Bond, pop culture references, childhood shows, humor in film, vintage sweets, Fontana chicken takeaway, celebrity commentary, merch, craft beer, 80s prices, vinyl records, social media, TikTok, music history, retro experiences, meet-and-greet, event promotion.

We talk about "Jacked" Gyllenhaal in the Roadhouse remake, question if Kevin Bacon was all that, and Paulo hits a literal low with his movie of the week.

Paulo and Dori do some Modern Talking about the Thomas Anders concert but feel like they visited another country, like Denmark.

If Paulo could go back in time - he'd go watch the Back to the Future stage show. Dori disagrees on Paulo's favourite 80s sitcom family but rather tells us about a family that were forced to live in the 80s in 2010. We discover how much Martin Kemp's clothes cost, explore the (Spandau) ballet of emotions around Shirley Kemp's marriage and count down the 10 cheesiest movies of the 80s.

There's a trend of Instagrammers dressing up in 80s clothes and doing photo shoots at abandoned malls - and we're all over it! Dori would change alot about John Hughes movies but not what you'd expect. Paulo's movie recommendation rounds up the latest edition of, "I can't believe it's not porn'' and we ask what happens when you send a pool cleaner to space? Plus, if you have any 80s Belindas around - we want them!

Paulo and Dori realise they knew alot about Prince, but very little about The Revolution. We dive into Wendy and Lisa, which we're pretty sure Prince...well you can finish that. Dori is the only person in the world still talking about Eurovision and Paulo is the only person still talking about Sheena, Queen of the Jungle. Prince pops up again as we discuss his 1986 flop, Under the Cherry Moon and we wrap up with more 80s Orangutan chat.

Paulo keeps getting suckered into Ghostbusters movies and finally admits that, 'Bustin' makes him feel bad''. In the 80s, Richie Sambora, Ozzy Osbourne, Mötley Crüe, Skid Row, Scorpions, Cinderella and more got on a plane to perform an anti-drug concert in Russia. What could go wrong? We give too much thought to Rick Astley's footwear and get excited for Teen Wolf 3.

Paulo faces his FOMO and asks Dori how the OMD concert was. His FOMO worsened. We ask how many members of an 80s band need to tour for it to still be THAT version of the band, and wonder if the short sleeved shirt with a tie is the clothing version of a mullet...business in the front, party down the sides. Would you sleep in Prince's bed? Does Ringo Starr make a believable caveman? Do we get (almost) full marks for the lyrics quiz? It's That 80s Show and it's made for your earholes. Everything you hear on here, and more, can be found on That 80s Show SA on Facebook.

This town ain't big enough for two Karate Kids, but with the amount of bullies around in 80s movies - maybe we need them both. Over 90% of cars in Norway are electric vehicles, find out how A-Ha are responsible. Dori presents a monster of a movie while Paulo is fascinated with the way Jeff Bridges uses his balls. Rick Astley hates ''Never gonna give you up” and we're starting to hate the 80s song lyric quiz. For everything discussed in this show, join us on That 80s Show SA on Facebook.

We look back at OJ Simpson's 80s ''movie'' career. He could have been the Terminator but instead...well, that joke is even beneath us. Science says 80s music was better, Dori misses the Vietnam War and Paulo was tricked by Condorman. We wonder if This is Spinal Tap 2 will turn it up to 12, while the NeverEnding Story remakes give us a sinking feeling. Has anyone asked what Limahl thinks?

Beatboxing for Simon Cowell, opening for Nirvana and a 1 -man stage show - we find out what the cast of Police Academy got up to when they handed in their badges. Dori recommends a movie-not-movie that starred Don Johnson, Giancarlo Esposito, Lori Singer, Sandahl Bergman, Luiz Guzman, David Carradine and Willie Nelson - that wasn't a movie at all. Another round of ''Guess the 80s song by the first line'' that includes a brutal Rick Roll.

Paulo and Dori will not let a lack of musical ability stop them from rising up the 80s charts as AI and Dolph Lundgren's nipples, come to the rescue. We'd only buy a Thundercats Lego playset if they fully leaned into ''Thundercats Leg-ho'' and Mickey Mouse shows up in the last 80s sitcom you'd expect. If you haven't already - give us a like on That 80s Show SA on Facebook.

Dori tasted a drink from the 80s and was let down, while Paulo wants an 80s inspired beer - even if it is cotton candy flavoured. Mr T. Loves his Momma, doesn't love spelling. Our movie recommendations ask what happened to the kid from ET and imagine what it's like being self-impregnated through thoughts of a bearded Dennis Quaid. We go back to look at some 80s porn disguised as cologne ads and play another round of ''Guess the 80s song by the first line''.

Dori and Paulo were duped by A.I. until they started counting the fingers. Art is in the eye of the beholder especially when it's a re-creation of a video store. Which 80s Lego set would you buy? A Miami Vice one? Golden Girls or Who's The Boss? Or maybe you just want a Whoopi mini-fig. Madonna's State to State Tour of Hate continues and another round of Guess the 80s Song by The First Line. Follow us on Facebook for all the content and updates - That 80s Show SA.

Before he heads off to Dublin, a city where the streets have no drains, Young Ryan joins Paulo and Dori to kind of remember the 80s - but he confused alot with the 90s. We discuss the controversy around the George Michael commemorative coin, imagine what Thomas Anders spices taste like and uncover a forgotten Michael J. Fox movie. The discovery theme continues when we explore 80s LostCore - the genre of music where no one knows the artist and play another round of, ''Guess the 80s song by the first line''.
