That 80s Show
Shoulder pads, Rubik’s cubes, luminous clothes, angsty movies... and of course loads of factoids. Paulo and Dori are living in the past - and loving it!
A Tribute to Mark Pilgrim | Kevin Bacon is telling porkies | George Michael and The Rock 'n Roll Hall of Fame
A sombre but celebratory start to That 80s Show as Paulo and Dori recount the impact Mark Pilgrim unknowingly had on this show. @MacAngelZA graciously allowed us to use his fitting tribute to Mark which can be found on these platforms: https://www.instagram.com/macangelza/?hl=en https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC5mDDvupuqFHNrhdvaMd_jw/videos https://web.facebook.com/macangelza/?_rdc=1&_rdr https://soundfx.co.za/macangel/ _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paulo thinks Kevin Bacon…
Air Tetris | Shameless 'The Last of Us' trolling | A misleading Glen Medeiros Google Alert
There used to be a time when movies set in the '80s were based on historical events, great sporting achievements or rock-star autobiographies. Now they're about admin. Paulo gets very excited about movies based on Tetris and AirJordan, while Dori gets (very) excited about Jae Bae. ******THE LAST OF US…
A One Hit Wonder That Hurt No One | That time Bruce Willis was a sperm | An Invite from Sting's Son
No Dori, No Worry - we've used that before, but it just works. The Celeb Savant, Barret Edelstein, joins Paulo on his '80s flashback this week. They spot an old friend in a Superbowl ad, remind the world of Connie Sellecca, pitch a 'Look Who's Talking' spin-off about the sperm…
Michael J Fox doccie | Robert Downey Sr doccie | Billy Zane doccie in the making
Paulo and Dori can't wait for 'Still, The Michael J Fox Story', but in the meantime they get their doccie fill through 'Sr.' about Robert Downey's dad. Paulo loves Top Gun Maverick and Dori tells him a story he's heard 100 times before - but she adds in a new…
The '80s didn't care about your fingers | DNA didn't care about Rob Lowe
This week we give you the Lowe down on Rob's family and Paulo just doesn't understand genetics. A recent air-fryer purchase reminded Paulo of the Ghosts of Kitchen Appliances past and wonders why people in the 80s loved to julienne their veggies. Simon and Simon says in Dori's viewing recommendation…
Rick Gravy x Yung Astley | Long-haired Travolta | Controversial music videos
Paulo and Dori discuss the most triggering things from 'Welcome to Chippendales'... and it's not what you think. We go LA Law on Yung Gravy's ass. He stole Rick Astley's song - but we want to mediate and offer a win-win solution. Dori's movie is high art while Paulo's put…
Double Beaned Dori | Kylie Minogue's grape-juice | George Michael's biopic
Sometimes you're in a park and a drunk guys starts singing Bon Jovi songs, sometimes that guy isn't even Paulo - and sometimes people sing along. We also veer close to being cancelled by association, go buy a Used Car, ask AI to draw Theo James in Wham! style tiny…
Walkman like an Egyptian | Fleshlight-looking Aliens | An inside out Zet
It was never meant to be an extra-terrestrial show, but hey, who are we to do things like... plan. Dori gives an encyclopedia update, we pick the three '80s albums we'd take to space with us, we find out what happens when you put a VHS into a wood-chipper, and…
Huey 'Lewis' News | Going Gordon Gekko on Songvest | Baywatch before Baywatch
Paulo starts off the year with his favourite new radio station, but Dori reveals that it's not that hip to be a Lewis. There's an investment opportunity not seen since Gordon Gekko met Bud Fox and we're getting in on the ground floor. Dori's movie has a theory about bald…
EXTRA LONG CHRISTMAS SPECIAL
As customary as going to a snowy cabin with your friends and exchanging longing looks over a decorative brooch, it's That '80s Show Extra Long Christmas Special. We review Andrew Ridgeley's Instagram Live and find out what questions Paulo would ask if WE ever had the chance to interview him…
Boy George's handcuffs | Dom & Dori's TV nightmare | Axl Rose's dodgy mic toss
Dori brings in a guest to help uncover her childhood trauma that may or may not have involved cosmic sluts - but before that we find out why Boy George went to prison - Karma is not only a chameleon, it's also a bitch. We go star spotting on The…
A very Bunny Show | Kevin Bacon of The Galaxy | 80s Houses | Blanking Tom Cruise
Bunnies do not get off lightly in this week's show - eaten, boiled and sexually harassed...but not in that order. Dori finds a reason to watch The Guardians of The Galaxy, Paulo wants to visit some 80s houses, a foreboding meme from 2012 and Dori JUUUUUUST missed Tom Cruise...or some…
The Hoff's nipple placement | Misheard Duran Duran | Mystery of soap on a rope
The show kicks off with misheard Duran Duran lyrics, explained by Simon Le Bon. We then go 80s shopping at Aldi which makes us wonder what was the use of soap on a rope? Paulo was watching Baywatch wrong if he remembers where The Hoff's nipples were and Chesney Hawkes…
Blame it on the pangolin | A TWAR with a mom | Gary Kemp is a naughty boy
We open the show with a story from the '80s that involves Woody Harrelson, Michael J Fox and viper poison. Shouldn't every show start that way? We start a Twitter war with a mother of 3 teenagers over Quantum Leap, Alyssa Milano shows us why SHE'S The Boss, our movie…
Back to the Future Shopping | Are Yahoo being Serious? | Ro-Rolling
Christopher Lloyd has been a big tease but the Delorean is now out the garage and Paulo want's EVERYTHING from www.backtothefuture.shop. Dori has a not very Serious movie recommendation, so you know next week she's coming back with full frontal art house, while Paulo relives video shop trauma. But honestly…
Dori's very old books | The Quantum Leap reboot is still rubbish | Out-Whamming!
For a show about the 1980's we veered very close to the 1880's with Dori's very old books. Not even the very old book store wants them...any takers? Dori was so distraught by the whole thing she looked for solace in the #QuantumLeap Reeboot, only to be disappointed by a…
Up to the minute 'Who's the Boss' news | Loved Agassi, hated Tennis | Rob is Fab
This week, Paulo and Dori discover Tony Danza's one man show - finally HE'S the boss! Dori makes a hair-raising Andre Agassi discovery, and Rob from Milli Vanilli is lip syncing again. Our movie recommendations go from Heavenly to Hellish and Julia Louis-Dreyfus made the right choice focusing on TV…
Queen Diana prepares to visit | Cosplay George Michael | The World Music Vault
Paulo and Dori look back the The USA Today newspaper from 21 October 2015 - well that day from #BTTF2 - to find out what future the best movie in that series predicted. Dori revisits 'Who's the Boss', a show that made Paulo wonder if he should follow a career…
The Chippendales broke Paulo's algorithm | Sting dancing | The Chart Savant
After delving into Dori's Chippendale multimedia content, Paulo's algorithms think he's a mid-80s housewife. We find out about Marty and Doc's reunion at NYC Comic Con and it makes Dori sad. To cheer herself up she watched a Sting movie that should have starred Johnny Rotten. Fun day. The Chart…
Hands off my Kylie | Welcome to your Fantasy | A show ahead of its time - 1984
40% of adults admit to leaving something sticky on the walls of the rooms they spent their teenage years in - and it has a lot to do with Kylie Minogue and Andre Agassi. Dori claims to have no interest in The Chippendales - but she suuuure knows all about…
