The Real Network That 80s Show

BONUS EPISODE | That 80s Show meets Noël Opperman. Curator of The Pretoria Retro Fair.

--:--
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.

Mina Moo will thank you.
