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!
AvoGate Part 2 | Andrew Mc-thartic | An Empress-ive Return
First up - we need your votes to hold on to our African Podcast Association Best Music Show award. You can help by voting here, and voting constantly. It's what George Michael would have wanted: https://apva.africa/?fluent-form=26 (Shameless plug, but Paulo is in the running with his other podcasts, vote for…
Retro FOMO | A monkey's memoir | Beverley Hills Serge | Magnum's gotta water his avos
Dori rouses herself up from her old person injury to bring you the latest episode of The Hoff's favourite podcast*. There's so much to catch up on so strap in for Cyndi Lauper at Glastonbury, Bubbles' retirement, Steve Miller magically throwing shade, a not so Happy Day in Ireland, game…
The Thomas Anders Programme | Kurt Darren's iced hip | Aga-RIP | Don't blow my air-pants
Paulo and Dori do some Modern Talking about the Thomas Anders concert but feel like they visited another country, like Denmark. We take a look at the cheesiest songs of the 80s and wear a black lace armband to commemorate the passing of the 80s biggest novelty artist. Dori re-watched…
OUTTA TIME for BTTF | Compeatin’ with a Keaton | An 80s reality show | Martin Kemp’s underpants
If Paulo could go back in time - he'd go watch the Back to the Future stage show. Dori disagrees on Paulo's favourite 80s sitcom family, but rather tells us about a family that were forced to live in the 80s in 2009. We discover how much Martin Kemp's clothes…
Violet Sky | Changing John Hughes movies | Bo Derek covered in honey is a bad thing | Bring us your Belindas!
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…
A Prince and The Revolution Revelation | Keeping Eurovision Alive | Sheena and over-worked breast tape
Paulo and Dori realise they knew alot about Prince, but very little about The Revolution. We dive into Wendy and Lisa, which we're pretty sure Prince...well you can finish that. Dori is the only person in the world still talking about Eurovision and Paulo is the only person still talking…
Ghostbusters keeps breaking Paulo’s heart | Tommy Lee and the untrashable hotel room | Clyde & Seek. The story of an orang-utan and his comb-over.
Paulo keeps getting suckered into Ghostbusters movies and finally admits that, ’Bustin’ makes him feel bad’’. In the 80s, Richie Sambora, Ozzy Osbourne, Mötley Crüe, Skid Row, Scorpions, Cinderella and more got on a plane to perform an anti-drug concert in Russia. What could go wrong? We give too much…
Justified FOMO…MD | Almost Roxette | Mullet Shirts | Ringo Starr in a loincloth
Paulo faces his FOMO and asks Dori how the OMD concert was. His FOMO worsened. We ask how many members of an 80s band need to tour for it to still be THAT version of the band, and wonder if the short-sleeved shirt with a tie is the clothing version…
There's a new Karate Kid in town | Getting Parent Trapped by Jughead | Jeff Bridges and his blue balls
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…
NO J Simpson | Science says music was better in the 80s | Let down by Ozzy Osbourne
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…
Where are the Police Academy cadets now? | Don in a Heartbeat
Beatboxing for Simon Cowell, opening for Nirvana, and a one-man stage show - we find out what the cast of Police Academy got up to when they handed in their badges. Dori recommends a movie-not-movie that starred Don Johnson, Giancarlo Esposito, Lori Singer, Sandahl Bergman, Luiz Guzman, David Carradine and…
Now that's what I don't call music | A mouse walks into a bar. Everyone knows his name.
Paulo and Dori will not let a lack of musical ability stop them from rising up the 80s charts as AI and Dolph Lundgren's nipples, come to the rescue. We'd only buy a Thundercats Lego playset if they fully leaned into 'Thundercats Leg-ho', and Mickey Mouse shows up in the…
Drink my Delorean Dust | T is for the song Mr T sang for his mom | Smut with Brut
Dori tasted a drink from the 80s and was let down, while Paulo wants an 80s inspired beer - even if it is cotton candy flavoured. Mr T. Loves his Momma, doesn't love spelling. Our movie recommendations ask what happened to the kid from ET and imagine what it's like…
Dori The Fan Girl | The most '80s man who never existed | Stand up for Madonna
Dori and Paulo were duped by A.I. until they started counting the fingers. Art is in the eye of the beholder, especially when it's a recreation of a video store. Which 80s Lego set would you buy? A Miami Vice one? Golden Girls or Who's The Boss? Or maybe you…
A Young Ryan | Coin Controversy | Where the Streets have no Drains
Before he heads off to Dublin, a city where the streets have no drains, Young Ryan joins Paulo and Dori to kind of remember the 80s - but he confused a lot with the 90s. We discuss the controversy around the George Michael commemorative coin, imagine what Thomas Anders spices…
Paulo’s Deacon Blues | Flipping for George Michael | Don’t drag Madonna round in your high heels
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…
The Voltron of Celebs | Say Hello to Thomas Anders | In, like Action Jackson
The Celeb Savant is in the house and like his 80s viewing recommendation, he's going to rock it! We catch up and hear the stories that his event-porn social media posts can't begin to tell us. Paulo talks about the best action movie you've never seen, and we share some…
Scoring with the 80s | When in doubt, it’s a Satanist | Paulo steals 80s jackets
Most people were watching for Taylor Swift, Paulo was there for Mr. T, so how did the 80s do at the Super Bowl? A few weeks ago we argued that Pauly Shore SHOULD play Richard Simmons, but after seeing his pitch movie - we're not so sure. Corey + Corey…
Wearing your sunglasses to the Greatest Night in Pop | Citi Golf coloured Aliens | Murder She Did
A documentary about the greatest (American) charity supergroup was released this week, so we're gonna be all over it. How did, 'We are the world' come about? All is revealed - and as a bonus we even tell you why Dan Aykroyd was there. A segment that was meant to…
Q&A over TA | Touch me, but not in an airplane | Full frontal Man-Eatery | Attorneys at LA Law
Dori has a problem with acronyms and it made Paulo LOL. Which 80s sex symbol has just been arrested and is Pauly Shore an Oscar winner in waiting? The A-Team remake made Paulo nostalgic and somehow Boy George is involved. Finally, Paulo Dori & Associates defend Madonna against sniffly little…
