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!
Boomers Day Out in Vienna | Post-Sam Malone | The Hoff has crabs
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…

80s Grammy Snubs | Eres El Hoff | Killed by Mello-Yello
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…
Concert Friends | Give Sly a call | Tito bought my girlfriend | CDogg needs a washing machine
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…

How many Bananaramas can you fit in a VW | Elton John's still standing | Who's the doppelgänger
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…
We change our mind about #BandAid40 | Gymnastics, mullets, karate | The last Grace headline you'd expect
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…
Boycott Band Aid 40 | A lady anthropologist? | Where does Snoopy poop?
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?

Madonna would never say | Dori's Dalliance | Taken for a Dino-Ride | As fun as sand
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…

Defrost Mr Ridgeley, it’s about time | Johnny 5 vs an Elon Musk killbot | The errant willy that didn’t stop believing
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…
Whatchoo talkin' bout Gary | Surely the funniest movie of all time | Back to the Future Day | Freddy Krueger scared himself
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…

Dirty Decks | Is Wombling legal? | 80s dogs were the worst | Don't be an old Josh
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…

We dispute the denials about a Goonies sequel - we just think they don't…
Don't @ Lou Ferrigno | Morrissey vs The Pope | Copyright Theft Auto
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…
Retro Fair Recap | Whats the story morning Dori | Never Double Dragon without a safe word
