That 80s Show SA (That 80s Show)

We're back from the 90s after a week's Buffalo-clad sojourn with Haddaway and Dori admits she has FOMO. Which raises the question can FOMO after you're missed out?

We then get into two movies that are so bad they're brilliant and Paulo plays Dori the new NKOTB song - featuring Dori's all-time favourite.

Part 1: Haddaway recap.

Part 2: Movie recommendations.

Part 3: New Kids on the Block are back.

Everything we discuss in this show can be found on @That80sShowSA on Facebook. Also look out for the podcast tab and listen from Facebook.

This podcast originally plays as a radio show with music - here are the songs we spoke about and played:

I can’t go for that - Hall & Oates.

Hard Day - George Michael.

Bring Back The Time - New Kids On The Block (Ft Salt-N-Pepa, Rick Astley, En Vogue).

Was that all it was  - Kym Mazelle.

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.

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 3 80s albums we'd take to space with us, we find out what happens when you put a VHS into a wood-chipper and get a Steve Guttenberg update (Mahoneyyyyyyyy).

This podcast originally plays as a radio show with music that we have to remove from the podcast - here are the songs we spoke about and played:

Say Say Say - Paul McCartney and Michael Jackson.

Running with the Night - Lionel Richie.

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?

Paulo and Dori remember a time when ads, were just ads - not dirty little stalkers trying to get you to drink beer.

We look back at the 80s sitcoms Matthew Perry guest starred in and are now convinced that we missed a whole season of ''Who's the Boss''.

Dori watched a doccie and blamed it on the rain, the 1980s SABC blamed it on Stevie Wonder, Andrew Ridgeley blamed it on Björn Borg and John Stamos could blame it on his hairdresser.

Everything you hear ont his show can be found on That 80s Show SA on Facebook.

Friend of Tha 80s Show, the Celeb Savant AKA Barret Edelstein, dives into the Hue and Cry story with Greg Kane.

All cried out - Alison Moyet 

I’m gonna tear your playhouse down - Paul Young

What have I done to deserve this - Pet Shop Boys

Paulo watched "Still: A Michael J Fox movie," and had all the feelings. So overwhelmed by emotion, he forgot the name of MJF's wife. Paulo is a jerk.

But he's a jerk with a new guilty pleasure in "A Town Called Malice." Dori recommends a movie with a message, but of course, we only notice the impractically long cocaine straw and the waterbed, which made Paulo think the movie will end up being porn.

Paulo is a jerk.

We discover why Urban Cowboys are dead, who the ultimate 80s action guy was, and what happens when you add a house beat to "Smooth Operator."

Stranger Things has Metallica running up that (chart) hill but will Paulo play Master of Puppets in the live show? Spoiler Alert - he did.

We reveal Def Leppard's make-up line, hear about Dori's outrageously odd movie and Paulo confirms that there really was a movie with dog poo in the fridge, it wasn't a fever dream bought on by too many Dirkies at recess.

We're sorry for wasting your time with last week's 80s AirBnB because we found loads of better ones!!! Just avoid the Macaulay Culkin room.

We then get into two movies that put the ''Anigans' into shenanigans and go back to the 80s to look at evil movie Russians. 

Thankfully those guys could be taped over and erased for good.

Part 1: 80s AirBnB''s.

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 SPOILER ALERT********

The latest episode features loads of 80s music, so naturally we dust off our Gypsy sneakers and jump on the band wagon.

The Paulo gets excited about a Glen Medeiros google alert, disappointed by the lack of Glen Medeiros, excited again about the potential of Glen Medeiros...only to be let down again...so he finds some Glen Medeiros.

Nothings gonna change.

Paulo hates talking about dreams - but he has to tell you about his vendetta against an 80s scream queen. Chevy Chase is on everyone's hate list and he just cemented his place in ours after we discovered his album of (s)hits. Terrible movie recommendations that includes Andrew Dice Clay and Alyssa Milano and another round of Two 80s Truths and a Lie. Everything we discuss in this show can be found on @That80sShowSA on Facebook.

It's another episode of That 80s Show, and it is the 80's distilled, run through a charcoal filter, then run through a 2nd distillation to remove any 70's & 90's impurities, leaving only the concentrated 80's with delicate woodsy overtones and hints of plum.

Paulo and Dori want to know what the girls in Botswana do and then they find two Deloreans in the Eastern Cape - who wants one?

Ever wondered what 80s song would bring back your lost memories? Ours would be Wham! 

We think.

A classic movie remastered is Dori's movie pick this week and we close off with a list of the most 80s songs of all time.

Everything we discuss in this show can be found on @That80sShowSA on Facebook. WE'RE NOW ON INSTAGRAM @That_80sshow

This podcast originally plays as a radio show with music - here are the songs we spoke about and played:

Cyndi Lauper - Girls just wanna have fun.

Simple Minds - Don't you forget about me.

If you had your first slow dance in the 80s - chances are that this man wrote the song. Graham Russell from Air Supply took time off from gardening in his mountain hideaway to talk to the ''Airheads'' from That 80s Show. 

Graham meets Graham, their encounter with Jim Steinman, Ghostbusters and defying armed, communist guards are all right here as That 80s Show meets Graham Russell.

First heard exclusively on Cliff Central.

Title Track by Orange Groove Studio @OrangeGrooveAdmin on Facebook.

Paulo and Dori mishear Dead or Alive lyrics and get spun around by Paul Rudd cosplaying as Pete Burns.

Dori's movie recommendation reminds Paulo of Adam Driver's Star Wars nipples which reminds him of Sylvester Stallone's nipples which reminds him of Dolph Lundgren's nipples.

Nipples.

We finish off with a look at board games based on 80s TV Shows - should have called them all ''Cash Grab or no Cash Grab''.

Everything we discuss in this show can be found on @That80sShowSA on Facebook. This show originally plays out with music that we have to remove from the podcast - here are the songs we spoke about and played:

You spin me round - Dead or Alive.

Looking for a new love - Jody Whatley.

Paulo and Barret are in charge of your nostalgia dopamine hit this week. 

Weekend at Bernie's comes to life...and Andrew Mcarthy has the best response ever. We then get into outrageous factoids about the biggest 80s movies - none of which Barret has seen.

We also preview our interview with Leo Sayer.

Part 1: The real Weekend at Bernies.

Part 2: Top facts from the biggest 80s movies.

Flash and Pan - Waiting for a train

Dori proves she's a real person by joining Paulo in studio but she brought Mick Hucknall with her.

We do the dance of joy because Bronson Pinchot is back as Serge in Beverley Hills Cop 4 and then ask, ''Does a Cocaine Bear shit in the woods?''.

If Paulo had watched it - he would have known.

We discover yet another George Michael documentary and find out about the nightclub that was started by New Order and hosted an unknown Madonna who was on ''Holiday'' in Manchester.

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.

Christopher Lloyd has been a big tease but the De Lorean 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 when last did you think of Yahoo Serious.

The Celeb Savant has been running just as fast as he can to get the interview he's been waiting months for and we find out if he got it.

Ralph Macchio has a book out and we discover what Paulo and Ronan Keating have in common.

Hold tight because the show starts with That 80s Show talking about That 80s Show on That 80s Show!

We then get into two very different movie recommendations before hearing from éVoid, a conference for our friends and confidants and declare that we are ready to fight if they touch The Princess Bride.

Part 1: That 80s Show (the mediocre TV show, not the world class internet radio show/podcast hybrid).

Part 2: Movie Recommendations.

Part 3: Lucien Windrich from éVoid.

Part 4: Golden Con.

Wham! - Last Christmas

The live show started with Mötley Crüe and got Mötley crude!!

Paulo and Dori start off with Johnny Depp's grumpy, take a left at Lena Olin's bush and end up in Satan's Ally, as we realise that everything you say is now a phrase in The Urban Dictionary.

Part 1: Johnny Depp Trial update.

Buona Sera Ciao Ciao - Mauro.

What does an 80s show do when it needs new show content at the last minute? It Googles, ''David Hasselhoff, News''.

Part 1: We kick-Hoff with David's new song, a very Hoff PSA and learn that he speaks our language.

Part 2: Clash of the 80s titles.

Our not so secret rendezvous with the Grammy nominated, chart topping, R&B superwoman, Karyn White.

Paulo, Dori and Barret hear about her studio sessions with BabyFace, her encounters with 80s Hall of Famers and her love for her South African fans.

Plus she reveals what she has planned next.

Title Track by Orange Groove Studio @OrangeGrooveAdmin on Facebook.

We open the show with a look back at Tina Turner's career, but being us - we ended up wondering which member of the supergroup USA for Africa would die next. One name ''jumped'' out at us.

Paulo reminds Dori of the mini-series V, while she reminds him of Macguyver's best friend.

Frank Stallone wouldn't try boxing, so why did Sly sing? And we close off the episode with Two 80s Truths and a lie.

Iko Iko - Cyndy Lauper

It is ‘Unbelievable’ how a chance meeting can determine one's destiny. This was the case with EMF… after a weekend of partying together, they decided to start creating music together. Barret sits down with Ian Dench, as they go down the EMF rabbit hole of alternative music. We also find out what Ian did between the music releases of the ‘90s and their latest album release - writing songs for Beyonce and Shakira, among others. Is that all? Get the latest from EMF here: www.EMF-TheBand.com Instagram: @emftheband Facebook: @EMFTheBand Twitter: @EMFTheBand

Resisting the chance to talk about the wet, wet, wet weather in Joburg (I'm sure they'd heard that a million times), Barret gets into the podcast time machine to go back to the 80s with Graeme Clark, founding member of Wet Wet Wet.

Having sold in excess of 15 million singles and albums to date, Wet Wet Wet have featured in the official UK charts for over 500 weeks and their albums have been certified 20 x platinum in the UK alone. The band appeared on the BBC TV show Top Of The Pops an amazing 56 times, a record for a Scottish artist.

Barret and Graeme talk about the bands roots, new front man Kevin Simm, the new album, "Journey'' and so much more.

No Dori, Now 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 whose talking'' spin-off about the sperm from the opening credits and go behind the scenes of a celebrity interview podcast.

Everything we discuss in this show can be found on @That80sShowSA on Facebook. This podcast originally plays as a radio show with music that we have to remove from the podcast - here are the songs we spoke and played:

Dreaming - OMD

Got to be certain - Kylie Minogue

Loaded - Deacon Blue

Dori has better friends than Paulo and she rubs it in his face by reviewing Deacon Blue in concert. 

Paulo wants to create a George Michael economy which leads to possibly the best discovery in the history of this show.

Paulo names so many sex tapes which prompts Dori to talk about Saltburn - possibly the name of a sex tape. 

Are we about to get a hologram remake of ‘’Do they know it’s Christmas’’? Is Madonna nicer to her dancers than Lizzo? Can you name an 80s song by the first line - all coming up on That 80s Show.

Your favourite 80s podcasts brings you the rules of Reverse Wham!Ageddon - don't even bother playing, Paulo will beat you.

Who would win in a fight between Wham! and The Pet Shop Boys? Who will win in the fight between Hall and Oates and who would you back if Calvin took on Hobbs?

Plus, The Guardian ranked the Top 20 Stock Aitken Waterman songs of the 80s and 90s and number one will spin you right round.

Due to no fault of his own, Paulo did not win an 80s quiz evening. He conducts an internal audit.

We examine the many reasons why Paulo and Ryan Reynolds would be best friends, a shared love of ALF is one of them.

Dori has a very witchy movie review, we stalk Andrew Ridgeley AGAIN and we track down the real Club Tropicana...the reviews are mixed.

Everything we discuss in this show can be found on @That80sShowSA on Facebook. This show originally plays out with music that we have to remove from the podcast - here are the songs we spoke about and played:

Mr T, Rob Lowe, Demi Moore and a shirtless George Michael all in the opening few minutes - that's why were one of the best podcasts in Africa!

It was bound to happen, and it happened on our 150th movie recommendation. If you know, you know.

We look at some 80s controversies we forgot about and find a lovely story about an 80s Cow-reoke.

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.

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 instead of film.

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.

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!

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.

To wrap up, we check in on Brad Pitts dating life and we encourage Rob Lowe to release his Toto tapes.

We've already seen the other one.

It's That 80s Show, the show that brings you the most up to date 80s stories. True and made-up.

This week we discuss the Doogie Howser reboot plus we recommend a horror movie and a horrible movie. We find out what went down between Stevie Nicks and Prince and there's The Hoff. There's usually The Hoff.

Romancing the stone - Eddy Grant.

One For The Mockingbird  - Cutting Crew.

Hand to Mouth - George Michael.

If you let me stay - Terrence Trent D'arby.

It's just another Manic Monday, except it's a Friday, on That 80s Show as Paulo did not pre-read a story about Susanna Hoffs. To be fair to him, he was distracted by the pictures.

Dori has never watched Fast Times at Ridgemont High - Paulo thinks he has - or did he just watch ''that''scene 1000s of times?

Two 80s Truths and a Lie is back and it involves a Jason Bateman, Yoda and a waterbed.

Everything we discuss in this show can be found on @That80sShowSA on Facebook. This show originally plays out with music that we have to remove from the podcast - here are the songs we spoke about and played: 

Kiss - Prince

Gold - Spandau Ballet

Barret chats to music journalist Jason Curtis, as they compare notes on their interview experiences. They both agree that there is only 1- or 2-ply toilet paper that everyone uses, and this keeps everyone on the same level. They both use this mindset and respect for the artists to get interview gems for the fans. Plus, how Jason was social media for the listening audience before Facebook or Twitter were around… Keep up to date with Jason: https://www.facebook.com/jasonvictorcurtis https://www.linkedin.com/in/jasonvictorcurtis/ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCPGtlPRFngBm2Sg1wMu-IfA/ Instagram @jvcurtis

It finally happened, an 80s reboot we missed - so we jump into the Quantum Leap follow-up and find out what it's got to do with a Ghostbuster.

Courteney Cox makes a return talking about her downstairs friends, 30 years apart and Dori visits the Otherworld.

Paulo then reviews the movie that inspired The Razzies and thinks he found the best 80s film ever.

This podcast originally plays as a radio show with music - here are the songs we spoke about and played:

Prefab Sprout - Cars and Girls.

Village People - You can't stop the music.

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!

They even have a Batman button just like the one Paulo shoplifted from Woolworths when he was nine.

And she's just in time to hear about the last tweet Richard Simmons drafted, the most '80s song ever produced, and how Madonna made the new Deadpool movie even better.

Our movies take us to 1983, and as the Olympics heat up, we go back to the '80s for the sort of bizarre stories that could only happen in that decade.

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.

In this episode we talk about the internet's least bogus dude, Keanu Reeves, and add in puppies. Dori frightens Paulo with her movie recommendation. We uncover Apple's 1980s flirtation with yacht couture and music festivals. 

This week was the 37th anniversary of Careless Whisper and if you're looking forward to your 38th birthday round about April next year, you were probably conceived to this song.

Part 1: Keanu Reeves with puppies.

Part 2: Movie Recommendations.

Part 3: The Apple clothing range from the 80s and US Fest.

Part 4: Garry Christian from The Christians.

Point if no return - Expose

Careless Whisper - George Michael/Wham! 

Of all the things we’ve made - OMD

Shoulder pads, Rubik’s cubes, luminous clothes, angsty movies... and of course loads of factoids.

Paulo and Dori don't know everything about the 80s - but they know enough to make them sound like experts.

This podcast originally plays as a radio show with music - here are the songs we spoke about and played:

Rockwell - Obscene Phone Caller

Nu Shooz - Lost Your Number 

Phil Collins - Don't Lose My Number 

Curiosity Killed the Cat - Name and Number

Bright Blue - Window on the World

Wham! - Battlestations

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 Hoffs nipples were and Chesney Hawkes is now the England football team's lucky mascot - The Celeb Savant has already congratulated him and got a smiley face in return.

Dori inadvertently guesses Paulo's movie and Andrew Ridgeley opens Christmas season and kills Wham!ageddon.

This podcast originally plays as a radio show with music that we have to remove from the podcast - here are the songs we spoke about and played:

What a feeling - Irene Cara

Last Christmas - Wham!

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.

What would you do if you woke up back in the 80s?

Buy Apple stocks and not really do anything different, unless you're Dori, who would change the order in which she kisses her posters in the morning.

We also reminisce about the hilarity of 80s Garfield merchandise, wonder if River Phoenix would have had Johnny Depp's career, and imagine a world where Johnny Depp was the star of Big.

Boy Oh Boy it's good to be back.

While Paulo and Dori took a break, the 80s did not!!

This week we bring you the latest on Bruce Willis, The Johnny Depp trial which forced Drew Barrymore into a 7-layered apology and Jennifer Gray to come out of the corner.

Top Gun Maverick is FINALLY about to be released and Lady Gaga has hit us with her ''Berlin'' moment - what do Paulo and Dori think?

We make time for viewing recommendations and bring you a mystery from the deep blue sea. Stories from a cruise featuring Spandau Ballet that we assure you are true.

Part 1: Bruce Willis latest.

Part 2: Johnny Depp's trial.

Part 3:Top Gun Maverick.

It's Three's Company as Barret Edelstein, The Celeb Savant joins Paulo and Dori. He tells us about his tribute interview with Michael Caprio, Olivia Newton-John's publicist and brings another round of Chart Savant to the pod.

Before that we talk about the movie, ''Air'' - which Barret walked out of. We also remember Whitney Houston, whose Ellis Park concert Barret walked out of.

Quite frankly we're shocked that he stayed for the entirety of this show.

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 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 detail...she met Billy Zane!!!

Everything we discuss in this show can be found on @That80sShowSA on Facebook. This podcast originally plays as a radio show with music that we have to remove from the podcast - here are the songs we spoke and played:

Lil Devil - The Cult.

View to a kill - Duran Duran

#80smeanstrouble

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.

Last Christmas we gave you a show, but the very next day you deleted it.

This year, to save us from tears, we're doing the same thing again and expecting a different outcome.

Part 1: The legend of Tony Pike.

Part 2: The team give their go to 80s movies to binge over the holidays.

Part 3: Barret's soap opera.

Part 4: 80s people who died, died, in 2021.

Hazy Shade of Winter - The Bangles.

Geronimo's Cadillac - Modern Talking.

Wham! - Last Christmas

Paulo and Dori celebrate Olivia Newton John's life and of course Dori's yellow Sony walk-man is part of the story. 

The team then get into the Max Headroom Incident, a bizarre hacking story from 1987 that no one has claimed responsibility for to this day!

As usual we have movie recommendations that definitely include a naked Julia Louis-Dreyfus and may include a nude Hugh Grant.

We wrap up with misheard White Snake lyrics and the sad tale of Jan-Michael Vincent which includes a traumatic child hood experience for Paulo, who is convinced he was lied to about the authenticity of Airwolf at the Rand Show.

Everything we discuss in this show can be found on @That80sShowSA on Facebook.

Olivia Newton John - Physical.

White Snake - Here we go again.

Duran Duran - Wild Boys.

Paulo is convinced that the internet is trolling him with a deepfake of Modern Talking doing a cover of Last Christmas. No records exist - the Scooby Gang are on the case. Listen to the song here when we tell you to: https://youtu.be/mvzjQhUaf5s

Dori ponders an alternate TV universe where Cobra Kai is good and Betty White was one of the Designing Women - and then cover your mirrors and dim the lights, The Chart Savant is back with his chartish ways and could end up in a version of Winnie the Pooh.

Part 1: The Modern Talking deepfake.

Part 2: Cobra Kai, Golden Girls and Designing Women.

Part 3: The Chart Savant.

Paul Reuben passes away and Paulo links it to the Hoff - and honestly, truth is stranger than the fictional reality show we created.

Tik Tok has been duped by Zepotha, we're just here for the promise of Synth-Wave.

Dori visits the Costa Del Sol and finds a Town Called Malice, Paulo heads down a Fritz the Cat rabbit hole - which wasn't part of the sequel - and our new favourite song about a Fast Car, is our old favourite song about a Fast Car.

Welcome to a show that starts with a Bon Jovi misheard lyric and ends with a Wham! misdirection.

In between  we ask if Jeffrey Dahmer's stepmom is prettier in pink, will Sam Beckett's appearance in the Quantum Leap reboot be a tax write-off and is Estelle Getty the most cancellable person of the 80s?

Plus find out which movie Paulo thought was a Garbage Pail Kids sequel.

There's a new tv show that fits Paulo's simple viewing criteria. Less than 30 minutes and set in the 80s. He's loco for Acapulco and he wants Dori to meet the alternate universe version of themselves.

We have our always popular movie recommendations before Dori launches into the weirdest story about a lady called Joanna Stingray that starts in Beverley Hills, takes in Russia and involves David Bowie and Andy Warhol.

And finally, while we admire Greta Thunberg's attempts to save the planet - we don't encourage her Rick Rolling.

Part 1: Loco for Acapulco.

Part 2: Movie Recommendations.

Part 3: Joanna Stingray.

Part 4: Greta Thunberg's Carbon foot steps.

Everything we discuss in this show can be found on @That80sShowSA on Facebook.

This podcast originally plays as a radio show with music - here are the songs we spoke about and played.

The Fourtops - Loco in Acapulco.

The Los Colinas Entertainers - Vaccacion, Ojo Del Tigre, Karma Chameleon.

Wham! - I'm your man.

Neil Schon & Jan Hammer - No more lies.

If we ended the show after the nuts story about the Taliban ordering off-brand Deloreans we would have had a dynamite show.

But we carried on and reverted back to our normal standards. We also give a masked singer update and wonder if Rick Astley is double bluffing his double bluff...would he give himself up? He's no stranger to it.

Plus movie recommendations, a Jason Bateman update and the reason they've never rebooted Knight Rider.

Part 1: The Taliban want to go back to the future.

Part 2: Movie Recommendations.

Part 3: Jason Bateman Update.

The Chart Savant, Barret, joins Paulo in this week's trip back to the 80s. We cover movies, chart books, other uses for DVDs, sexist bands from the 80s and find out what music our favourite 80s acts are releasing these days.

Part 1: The Official Album Charts. The Eighties.

Sheena Easton - Modern Girl.

David Essex - Silver Dream Machine.

Opus - We Made it.

Sting - If it’s Love. 

ABBA - Don’t shut me down.

Power Station likes it hot, Paulo and Dori do not!

We needed Richard Dean Anderson to help us MacGyver our aircon, maybe we should have called him by his first name.

Paulo compiles a list of his favourite 80s baldies, Dori takes on the 80s Movie Quote Quiz - like Telly Fun Quiz but without a duck - The Karate Kid won't go away and the Stranger Things ''kids'' need to retire.

Friend of That 80s Show, The Celeb Savant AKA Barret Edelstein chats with lead singer of the band, Starship, Mickey Thomas. 

Join Barret and Mickey as they discuss 4 decades of music, and find out who Mickey thinks should be ruling the world?

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:

_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Paulo thinks Kevin Bacon is being foot loose with the truth, while both movie recommendations end up in space - only one of them almost ruined Mel Brooks?

A 10 hour loop of the sax from Careless Whisper is rated as ''M for Saxual Content'' and George Michael needs YOU to get him into the RNRHOF!

Finally - 80s movies had a weird fascination with invisibility, and an expected fascination with perverts.

Everything we discuss in this show can be found on @That80sShowSA on Facebook. This show originally plays out with music that we have to remove from the podcast - here are the songs we spoke about and played:

I won't let the sun go down on me - Nik Kershaw.

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 recommendations go to battle for the longest title and the least interest and we come up with cover band names.

Finally, another 80s star hocking a book and of course we'll buy it.

This podcast originally plays as a radio show with music that we have to remove from the podcast - here are the songs we spoke about and played:

OPUS - Live is Life

Frankie Goes to Hollywood - Relax

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 botoxed guy in hairpiece.

Everything we discuss in this show can be found on @That80sShowSA on Facebook.

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.

What if you could take out 7000 Wham!ageddon playing heathens with the click of 1 play button? Dj Matty did and he deserves a Knighthood.

We visit the Wham! online store and put together our Xmas list, Dori reminds Paulo of the movie, ''Falling Down'', Paulo warns Dori against watching, "Elves'' and we remedy the lack of regular Barry Manilow updates.

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.

You ever heard of a game called Wham!-A-Geddon? If you have and if you play it - we can't be friends.

Also on this week's show we find out who turned down Weird Al, we only have the best of the best movie recommendations, we speak to Graeme Clark from Wet Wet Wet and take a little trip to Russia for an Eruption!!

To get the full interview with Graeme Clark: https://bit.ly/3oDMaWL or look for it where you found this episode.

Part 1: Musicians who turned down Weird Al.

Part 2: Movie Recommendations.

Jason Bateman's hair is more 80s now than it was in the 80s and it bothers Dori. We wonder how Rob Lowe didn't get cancelled, remind ourselves of the pain of a blown TV tube and Paulo watched a movie where Danny DeVito didn't have the worst comb over. George Michael's Sydney mansion has Paulo revealing his bedroom attire and Milly Bobby Brown's engagement to Bon Jovi's son gives your favourite 80s duo a chance to roll out a Bazillion puns. Everything we discuss in this show can be found on @That80sShowSA on Facebook. This show originally plays out with music that we have to remove from the podcast - here are the songs we spoke about and played: Abracadabra - Steve Winwood. Things can only get better - Howard Jones.

80s legends U2 had a bloody good Sunday when they opened the Las Vegas Sphere, but Dori is still mad at them for having the audacity to give her an album for free.

Richard Simmons was only big in the States because they didn't have Body Beat. Now we have a new mission: reunite Body Beat.

Finally, communistic chewing gum cards provoke Paulo into a Public Service Announcment.

Everything you hear on the show can be found on That 80s Show SA on Facebook.

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? And did Dr. Huxtable cure polio?
