#That80sShow | Pretoria Retro Fair | David's Hoff-spring | There's only 1 Superman

--:--
Your favourite Eddies are headed to The Pretoria Retro Fair and let's pray Paulo doesn't find Garbage Pail Kids.

We advocate for the return of overhead projectors, find out who is on Team Heathcliff and realise that we really hate the Snorks.

Dori tells us about an angel with amazing hair while Paulo has odd thoughts about Mina Moo.

We wrap up with news about a new Hoff and get the tissues out for the Christopher Reeve documentary.
